Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of polypropylene materials, and more specifically, to a high-strength, high-impact polypropylene composite sheet and its fabric, polypropylene composite materials, and their preparation and application. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, high-strength, high-impact polymer composites that are easily recyclable and lightweight, especially those with self-reinforcing properties, have become a research hotspot. The matrix and reinforcing phase of self-reinforcing polymer composites are composed of the same polymer in different forms. Typically, the reinforcing phase is highly oriented fibers or ribbons.

[0003] Currently, most self-reinforced polymer composites are prepared using hot pressing. When the reinforcing phase is hot-pressed under certain pressure and temperature, the surface of the fibrous reinforcing phase melts into the matrix melt. The matrix melt and the reinforcing phase melt co-crystallize on the surface during melting, resulting in a strong bond between them, which can further improve the interfacial bonding strength. For example, in US6312638B1, polyolefin fibers are hot-pressed, using specific temperature and pressure to partially melt and bond the surface layer of the melt-spun oriented polyolefin together, thereby preparing a polyolefin board. However, this preparation method is not only sensitive to the temperature of hot pressing (high temperature and narrow range), but also causes the spun oriented fibers to decompose after hot pressing, resulting in a significant decrease in fiber mechanical strength and poor self-reinforcing effect.

[0004] Patent document US8268439B2 describes a polyolefin composite material obtained by hot-pressing three layers of polyolefins with different melting points and morphologies. The first and third layers are oriented polyolefin layers, and the second layer is a low-melting-point polyolefin film base layer. Furthermore, the melting temperature of the second base layer polyolefin is lower than that of the first and third layers. This design of different melting points in each layer can widen the hot-pressing window and reduce the hot-pressing pressure; however, the impact strength and interlaminar peel strength of the hot-pressed composite material produced by this method are relatively low. Summary of the Invention

Many modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art without departing from the scope and spirit of the described embodiments.
