Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of 3D printing, in particular to a method for preparing 3D printing wire based on chain segment sequence structure regulation. BACKGROUND

[0002] 3D printing technology is a rapid prototyping technology developed in recent years, which uses digital model files as the basis, uses powder-like metal or plastic and other adhesion materials, and constructs objects through layer-by-layer printing. 3D printing technology can be applied in many fields, such as aerospace, medical, industrial design, automobile manufacturing, etc. Fused deposition modeling (FDM) technology is the most widely used 3D printing technology at present, which has high product performance, no pollution, simple and flexible operation, and is suitable for home, office use and design creation.

[0003] At present, more than 95% of the materials used in the field of degradable FDM materials are polylactic acid. Polylactic acid is a common biodegradable plastic with good degradability and biocompatibility, which can replace some general-purpose plastics for use in agriculture, packaging materials and clothing fields. However, polylactic acid used as 3D printing material still has many shortcomings, such as brittle, low interlayer bonding strength, and poor impact resistance. In order to improve the mechanical and heat resistance properties of polylactic acid and maintain the degradability of the material, some researchers have modified polylactic acid by adding natural fillers (such as natural fibers, chitosan, starch, etc.) through physical blending. For example, patent application CN105295106A reports a method for preparing 3D printing wire by using cellulose microfiber composite modified polylactic acid, which reduces the cost while improving the mechanical properties of the material; patent application CN108822511A also reports that cellulose nanocrystals are treated with alkali and coated with polyethylene oxide, which are used as modifiers to improve the mechanical properties and thermal stability of polylactic acid-based 3D printing wire. Although this method improves the mechanical properties of polylactic acid to some extent, it does not effectively improve the interlayer bonding strength of the printed device. This is because the FDM printing process is layer-by-layer extrusion and accumulation. After a period of cooling, the surface temperature of the lower layer plastic filament may have cooled to the glass transition temperature (T g ) or below, the chain segment movement has stopped, and the newly extruded plastic filament of the upper layer needs to heat the lower layer surface temperature again to T g above to induce chain segment movement and entangle the upper and lower layer surface chain segments together to obtain a certain bonding strength after cooling. For ordinary wire containing fillers or fibers, the larger the filling rate, the smaller the area of contact between the extruded filaments, and the fibers also hinder the movement of polylactic acid chain segments, resulting in that the interlayer bonding strength of ordinary fiber modified PLA wire is much lower than that of pure resin without adding fillers or fibers.

[0004] In addition, the current reported polylactic acid-based 3D printing wire has a slow printing speed, generally not more than 50 mm / s, and a long printing time for large models, and a low printing efficiency. If the printing speed of the ordinary polylactic acid 3D printing wire is further increased to 250 mm / s, the wire is prone to breakage and filament during printing, and the precision of the printed device is greatly reduced.

[0005] Therefore, the design and development of a polylactic acid-based wire capable of super-fast 3D printing meet the needs of practical applications. SUMMARY

[0006] The technical problem to be solved by the present application is to overcome the shortcomings in the prior art and provide a method for preparing 3D printing wire based on chain segment sequence structure.

[0007] To solve the technical problem, the solution of the present application is:

[0008] A method for preparing 3D printing wire based on chain segment sequence structure is provided, which comprises the following steps: uniformly blending polylactic acid and polylactic acid copolymer with specific chain segment sequence structure, and then melt-extruding, granulating, and melt-extruding and drawing to obtain polylactic acid-based 3D printing wire. The polylactic acid copolymer with specific chain segment sequence structure is a polylactic acid-poly-caprolactone-polylactic acid triblock copolymer (PLA-b-PCL-b-PLA) or a poly(lactic acid-co-caprolactone) random copolymer (PLCL) obtained by ring-opening copolymerization of lactide and caprolactone. In the polylactic acid copolymer, the mass fraction of lactide units is 80-95%, and the mass fraction of caprolactone units is 5-20%. The mass ratio of polylactic acid to polylactic acid copolymer is 80-95:5-20.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of the present application, in the poly(lactic acid-co-caprolactone) random copolymer (PLCL), the average chain segment length of lactide units (LLLL) is 5-20, and the average chain segment length of caprolactone units (CCCC) is 1-2.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of the present application, the method specifically comprises the following steps:

[0011] (1) The polylactic acid and the polylactic acid copolymer are weighed according to the mass fraction, mixed uniformly after drying treatment, and the mixed raw material is obtained;

[0012] (2) The mixed raw material is added to a double-screw extruder, melt-plasticized, and extruded and granulated to obtain a wire masterbatch;

[0013] (3) The wire masterbatch is added to a single-screw extruder, melt-plasticized, drawn and shaped, and wound into a wire to obtain a 3D printing wire with a wire diameter of 1.75 mm±0.05 mm.

[0014] As a preferred scheme of the present application, the working temperature of the twin-screw extruder and the single-screw extruder is 180-230 DEG C.

[0015] As a preferred scheme of the present application, in the blending raw material or the wire masterbatch, further incorporate any one or more of the following auxiliary materials or agents: chain extender, nucleating agent, plasticizer, antioxidant, anti-hydrolysis agent and pigment.

[0016] Invention principle description:

[0017] When using ordinary polylactic acid-based 3D printing wire, the printing speed is generally not more than 50 mm / s, which is not suitable for super-fast printing (printing speed is more than 250 mm / s), the reasons are as follows: (1) because the FDM printing process is layer by layer extrusion accumulation, the increase of printing speed makes the solidification time of the accumulated layers shorten, so the model corner is easy to be silk, which leads to the rough surface of the model, not beautiful; (2) because 3D printing needs to use extrusion wheel to clamp the wire and send it into the heating port mold for melting, increasing the printing rate will increase the consumption of wire per unit time, which will increase the conveying speed of the extrusion wheel, so that the wire is easy to be brittle when it is pulled by the extrusion wheel, which increases the probability of wire breakage.

[0018] Compared with the natural fillers (such as natural fibers, chitosan, starch, etc.) or modifiers (such as cellulose nanocrystals treated with alkali and polyethylene oxide coated) in the prior art, the applicant changes the research and development idea and proposes a new solution, which uses a modified component with homology to the main raw material component polylactic acid of the printing wire to maintain the fusion between different components, and at the same time realizes the regulation of the strength and toughness of the printing wire.

[0019] The high molecular weight polylactic acid copolymer used as a modified component has a specific segment sequence structure, which can significantly affect the T g and mechanical properties of the material. The specific description is as follows:

[0020] In the polylactic acid triblock copolymer PLA-b-PCL-b-PLA, the whole polycaprolactone is embedded in the polylactic acid segment, and because the polycaprolactone itself has a lower melting point and T g , it acts as a flexible segment, so that the movement ability of the polylactic acid segment at both ends of the polycaprolactone is enhanced, which improves the toughness of the material, at the same time, the T g of the block copolymer is reduced, the solidification time is prolonged, and the interlayer bonding force is improved. Similarly, the length of the polycaprolactone sequence or the mass fraction of the copolymer unit caprolactone in the block copolymer has a significant influence on the printing effect. When the mass fraction of the caprolactone unit is 5%-20%, the prepared super-fast 3D printing wire has good interlayer bonding force and toughness.

[0021] In the poly(lactic acid-co-caprolactone) random copolymer (PLCL), due to the addition of the comonomer caprolactone, the T g and the melting point of the copolymer are reduced, so that the curing time can be prolonged and the material toughness is increased. When the average segment length of the lactide unit (LLLL) is short (<5), it is easy to cause the curing time to be too long and the mechanical properties to be poor, so that the printing accuracy is reduced. Therefore, the average segment length of the lactide unit (LLLL) in the random copolymer PLCL is set to 5-20, and the ultra-fast 3D printing wire prepared by blending the polylactic acid copolymer PLCL has good interlayer bonding force and toughness.

[0022] The application prepares the polylactic acid-based wire that can be ultra-fast 3D printed by segment sequence structure regulation, so that the wire winding, the conveying of the extrusion wheel and the interlayer bonding force are improved. More importantly, the obtained product can be perfectly applied to the ultra-fast 3D printing process, the printing speed can reach 250 mm / s, and the product printed has high strength and toughness.

[0023] Compared with the prior art, the application has the beneficial effects that:

[0024] 1. The application innovatively proposes a preparation method of the 3D printing wire, and the obtained product contains the polylactic acid copolymer with a specific segment sequence structure, can maintain the fusion between different components, and realizes the regulation of the strength and toughness of the printing wire, thereby improving the toughness and interlayer bonding force of the wire.

[0025] 2. The 3D printing wire prepared by the application has a printing speed of 250 mm / s during use, which significantly improves the printing efficiency and effectively expands the application field of 3D printing.

[0026] 3. The preparation process of the application is simple and easy to operate, and can realize large-scale industrial production. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

[0074] Melting point and glass transition temperature test: differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) test was used, the test temperature was -50-200°C, and the temperature rising rate was 10°C / min.

[0075] Elongation at break: the elongation at break of the linear material was measured by SUNS universal material testing machine, the tensile speed was 10 mm / min, and the test temperature was 25±1°C. At least 5 parallel tests were used for each sample.

[0076] Interlayer bonding force test: the prepared linear material was loaded into a 3D printer (Shenzhen Chuangxi Sanwei, CR 5060pro), and a dumbbell-shaped sample (125 mm x 10 mm x 5 mm) was printed at a nozzle temperature of 250°C, a hot bed temperature of 60°C and a printing speed of 250 mm / s (as shown in Figure 2 Then the interlayer bonding force was measured by using SUNS universal material testing machine, that is, the maximum force in the tensile process of the sample was the interlayer bonding force, and the tensile speed was 10 mm / min. At least 5 parallel tests were used for each sample.

[0077] After testing, the data of the 3D printing linear materials prepared in Comparative Examples 1 and 2 and Examples 1-9 are shown in Table 1.

[0078] Table 1

[0079]

[0080] From the contents of each example and comparative example, and the above data, it can be seen that:

[0081] Compared with pure polylactic acid (Comparative Example 1), the traditional polylactic acid-based linear material added with cellulose (Comparative Example 2) cannot effectively improve the interlayer bonding force, while the polylactic acid-based linear material prepared by the method (Examples 1-12) has excellent toughness and interlayer bonding force. It is verified by actual use that the linear material prepared by the application can be used to prepare complex products at a printing speed of 250 mm / s, and the printing effect is excellent.

[0082] In addition, according to the comparative examples 1-4, with the decrease of the content of lactide in the polylactic acid copolymer, the average segment length of the lactide unit (LLLL) in the copolymer chain decreases from 20 to 5, the T g and the melting point gradually decrease, and the toughness and interlayer bonding force increase. According to the example 4, when the average segment length of the lactide unit (LLLL) in the polymer chain is 5, the elongation at break is as high as 273.1%, which is 49 times of that of pure polylactic acid, and the interlayer bonding force is as high as 412 N, which is 2.4 times of that of pure polylactic acid, showing excellent toughness and interlayer bonding capacity.

[0083] According to the comparative examples 7-10, with the decrease of the content of lactide in the triblock copolymer, the T g and the melting point of the wire change little, especially the melting point can still be kept above 170℃, and the toughness and interlayer bonding force increase. According to the example 10, when the mass fraction of the lactide unit in the triblock copolymer is 80%, the elongation at break can reach 112.5%, which is 20 times of that of pure polylactic acid, and the interlayer bonding force can reach 372 N, which is 2.2 times of that of pure polylactic acid, showing excellent toughness and interlayer bonding capacity. According to the comparative examples 1-12, the toughness and interlayer bonding capacity of the wire prepared from the random copolymer are higher than those of the wire prepared from the triblock copolymer with the same mass fraction.

[0084] Finally, it should be noted that the above-mentioned is only a specific embodiment of the present application. Obviously, the present application is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiment, and there can be many variations. All the variations that can be directly derived or thought from the disclosure of the present application by those skilled in the art should be considered as the protection scope of the present application.
