Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of polymer films, and more specifically to composite films based on propylene polymers, methods for their preparation and applications, as well as packaging materials comprising said composite films. Background Technology
[0002] Polypropylene films are typically produced by methods such as casting and biaxial stretching, but polypropylene films made from homopolymer polypropylene raw materials usually have low impact strength. Since polypropylene films are commonly used in packaging, they require high impact resistance, and good optical properties are also desirable for visibility and aesthetic appeal of the contents.
[0003] To improve the impact resistance of polypropylene films, impact-resistant polypropylene can be used to prepare the film, or polyolefin elastomers can be added to the polypropylene. However, films prepared by these methods typically have high haze and poor optical properties such as transparency. Nucleating agents can also be added to the film simultaneously to reduce haze by refining the crystals within the film, but this method leads to a decrease in impact resistance.
[0004] To improve the impact resistance and toughness of films, multilayer co-extrusion can be used to prepare films. For example, CN101913279A uses a three-layer co-extrusion method to prepare composite films. The layers of the film contain elastomers and polypropylene blended in a ratio of 1:10 to 1:3, with the elastomers providing better impact resistance. However, this method suffers from difficulty in uniform dispersion when the elastomer content is high. Moreover, elastomers typically have poor flow properties, leading to uneven film surfaces and significant thickness differences along the machine direction (MD) and transverse direction (TD), making it difficult to obtain films with good optical properties. Furthermore, there are limitations on the amount of elastomer added, as phase separation can occur at higher levels, thus limiting further improvements in impact resistance. In addition, during multilayer co-extrusion, the elastomers can cause significant differences in flow properties between the core and surface layers, further exacerbating the unevenness of the film surface and potentially leading to inhomogeneity in the film's properties. Differences in the rheological properties of the raw materials between layers also affect the film's uniformity and consequently its optical and mechanical properties.
[0005] Existing propylene polymer-based films struggle to simultaneously possess both good optical and impact resistance. Furthermore, when used in packaging applications, propylene polymer films typically require good heat-sealing performance at relatively low temperatures, a requirement that current technologies fail to meet. Additionally, existing composite films exhibit poor uniformity in thickness and performance. Summary of the Invention Invention Overview

[0030] A first aspect of the present invention provides a composite film based on a propylene polymer, comprising at least two different layers: layer a and layer b;
[0031] Layer a and layer b each comprise at least one propylene polymer; and
[0032] At least one of layers a and b comprises a propylene impact copolymer;
[0033] The propylene impact copolymer contains an elastic portion that forms a dispersed, strip-shaped rubber phase in the composite film.
[0034] The term "dispersion" in this article refers to the non-continuous distribution of the rubber phase in the composite film. The rubber phase can be observed by examining a transverse (TD) section of the composite film using atomic force microscopy (AFM). Figure 3 , 5 As shown in the black portion of Figure 7, the rubber phase is uniformly dispersed in the film matrix in the form of multiple strips.
[0035] In this article, "strip-shaped" refers to a shape with an aspect ratio that is usually greater than 2.
[0036] In this article, aspect ratio refers to the ratio of the vertical axis to the horizontal axis of an object. The vertical axis refers to the longest dimension of the object (in this case, the rubber phase), that is, the distance between the two points furthest apart on the object's outline. The horizontal axis refers to the length between the points of intersection of the vertical axis and the object's outline.
[0037] In the composite film of the present invention, the average dimension of the horizontal axis of the rubber phase can be 20-200 nm, more preferably 20-150 nm. The average aspect ratio of the rubber phase can be 5-20, preferably 5-15.
[0038] The transverse dimension and aspect ratio were measured by observing the cross-section of the composite film cut along the transverse direction (TD) using an atomic force microscope. Based on 200 sample points, the average transverse dimension of the rubber phase was calculated as the average transverse dimension of the rubber phase, and the average aspect ratio of the rubber phase was calculated as the average aspect ratio of the rubber phase.
[0039] Longitudinal (MD) refers to the machining direction. Lateral (TD) refers to the direction perpendicular to the machining direction.
[0040] In the composite film of the present invention, the rubber phases are advantageously arranged in parallel to each other.
[0041] In this paper, the term "parallel arrangement" refers to the arrangement of the transverse cross-sections of the rubber phase parallel to each other along a certain direction. This excludes a small number of rubber phase particles located in local areas with different orientations due to the preparation process, which are inconsistent with the overall orientation of the rubber phase particles in the entire composite film, as well as rubber phase particles that cannot be clearly observed due to the preparation process or AFM method.
[0042] In this article, "parallel arrangement" includes cases where they are substantially parallel. The angle between the transverse sections of the rubber phases is no greater than about 10 degrees, and preferably less than about 5 degrees.
[0043] In this invention, layers a and b both contain at least one propylene polymer and are composed of propylene polymer-based compositions, but their specific compositions and / or thicknesses differ. The entire composite film is a propylene polymer-based composite film, and can also be referred to as a polypropylene composite film.
[0044] In this invention, layer a is intended to be used as the core layer of the composite film, that is, a layer that is relatively far from the medium that the composite film will contact during use. Layer b is intended to be used as the surface layer of the composite film, that is, a layer that is close to the medium that the composite film will contact during use, such as the electrolyte that the battery packaging material contacts.
[0045] According to the present invention, at least one of layers a and b comprises the propylene impact copolymer having a specific elastic portion, thereby enabling the entire composite film to contain a specifically dispersed rubber phase.
[0046] The elastic portion can be observed as a spherical or near-spherical rubber phase in scanning electron microscope images of impact specimens of propylene impact copolymers.
[0047] The propylene impact copolymer is preferably a propylene impact copolymer containing ethylene units, wherein the elastic portion is a copolymer containing ethylene units, preferably selected from ethylene-propylene copolymer and ethylene-butene copolymer.

[0051] The propylene impact copolymer may have a block structure or contain propylene block copolymers.
[0052] The melt mass flow rate (MFR) of the propylene impact copolymer at 230°C and 2.16 kg load can be 1-10 g / 10 min, preferably 1-8 g / 10 min, and is determined according to standard GB / T3682-2000, with a test temperature of 230°C and a load of 2.16 kg.

[0054] The propylene impact copolymer can also be prepared by continuous polymerization in the presence of a Ziegler-Natta catalyst with high stereoselectivity. The continuous polymerization method refers to a preparation process comprising at least two sequential steps, wherein the elastic and inelastic portions are each prepared in separate steps, and, except for the first step, the subsequent step is carried out in the presence of the polymer formed in the previous step and the catalyst used in the previous step.
[0055] Layer a may comprise homopolymer polypropylene and / or random copolymers of propylene.
[0056] The preferred melt flow rate of the homopolymer polypropylene at 230℃ and 2.16kg load is 2-15 g / 10min, determined according to standard GB / T 3682-2000, with a test temperature of 230℃ and a load of 2.16kg. The isotacticity of the homopolymer polypropylene is preferably greater than 97%, as determined by… 13 C NMR determination. The molecular weight distribution (Mw / Mn) of the homopolymer polypropylene is preferably 4.5-7.0, determined by gel permeation chromatography (GPC).

[0057] The propylene random copolymer can be a copolymer of propylene with ethylene and / or butene, such as an ethylene-propylene-butene ternary random copolymer, a propylene-ethylene binary random copolymer, or a propylene-butene binary random copolymer. The melt flow rate of the propylene random copolymer at 230°C and a load of 2.16 kg can be 2-15 g / 10 min, preferably 2-10 g / 10 min, as determined according to standard GB / T3682-2000. The molecular weight distribution (Mw / Mn) of the random copolymer is preferably 4.5-7.0, determined by GPC. Commercially available propylene random polymers are available, for example, the random propylene copolymer of Yanshan Petrochemical (brand name F5006), or the random propylene copolymer of Shanghai Petrochemical (brand names F500EPS, F800EDF, or F800EPS); or they can be prepared by conventional methods in the art.
[0058] Layer b may contain a propylene random copolymer. The propylene random copolymer is as described above. Layer b may be the same as or different from the propylene random copolymer in layer a. For example, layer b may contain 60-100% by weight of the propylene random copolymer.
[0059] In a preferred embodiment, at least one of layers a and b may contain a polyolefin elastomer, thereby advantageously further improving the impact resistance of the composite film.
[0060] The polyolefin elastomer can be an elastomer copolymer of ethylene and α-olefin. The α-olefin is preferably C3-C. 12 The α-olefin is more preferably selected from at least one of propylene, 1-butene, 1-hexene, and 1-octene.

[0061] When a polyolefin elastomer is used in the composite film, the elastic portion of the propylene impact copolymer and the polyolefin elastomer form a dispersed rubber phase in the composite film. This rubber phase also takes the form of strips and is arranged parallel to each other. The average dimension of the transverse axis of such a rubber phase can be 20-200 nm, preferably 20-150 nm. The average aspect ratio of this rubber phase can be 5-20, preferably 5-15. The dimensions are determined by AFM as described above.
[0062] The presence of polyolefin elastomers can advantageously compensate for the potential uneven distribution of the rubber phase in propylene impact copolymers, thereby improving the uniformity of impact properties throughout the film.
[0063] In a preferred embodiment, the polyolefin elastomer has a temperature of 230°C and a shear rate of 160 s. -1 and 640s -1 The ratio of shear viscosity η 160 / η 640 The value is 1.2-3, preferably 1.7-2.3. The polyolefin elastomer is subjected to a shear rate of 640 s at 230°C. -1 The shear viscosity η 640 Preferably 100-500 Pa·s, more preferably 140-400 Pa·s. Shear viscosity η 160 and η 640 The measurements were performed using a capillary rheometer according to ISO 11443:2014.
[0064] The melt flow rate of the material constituting layer a (propylene polymer composition) at 230°C and under a load of 2.16 kg can be 2-10 g / 10 min, preferably 2-8 g / 10 min, more preferably 3-7 g / 10 min, as determined according to standard GB / T3682-2000, with a test temperature of 230°C and a load of 2.16 kg.
[0065] The melt flow rate of the material constituting layer b (propylene polymer composition) at 230°C and under a load of 2.16 kg can be 2-10 g / 10 min, preferably 3-10 g / 10 min, more preferably 3-9 g / 10 min, and even more preferably 4-8 g / 10 min, as determined according to standard GB / T 3682-2000, with a test temperature of 230°C and a load of 2.16 kg.
[0066] Such a melt mass flow rate can advantageously make the thin film preparation process more stable, thereby giving the thin film better uniformity, mechanical properties and optical properties.
[0067] Layer a and layer b may both contain the propylene impact copolymer, wherein the propylene impact copolymer in layers a and b may be the same or different. Alternatively, only one of layers a and b may contain the propylene impact copolymer.
[0068] Layers a and b may both contain the polyolefin elastomer, wherein the polyolefin elastomers in layers a and b may be the same or different. Preferably, the weight ratio of the polyolefin elastomer in layer a to the weight ratio of the polyolefin elastomer in layer b is 6:1 to 1:6. Alternatively, only one of layers a and b may contain the polyolefin elastomer.

[0070] It is also possible that only one of layers a and b contains the propylene impact copolymer, and one or both of layers a and b contain the polyolefin elastomer; or, only one of layers a and b contains the polyolefin elastomer, and one or both of layers a and b contain the propylene impact copolymer.
[0071] In one embodiment, layer a comprises the homopolymer polypropylene, the propylene impact copolymer, and the polyolefin elastomer, and layer b comprises the random propylene copolymer and the polyolefin elastomer.
[0072] In this embodiment, preferably, the weight ratio of the polyolefin elastomer in layer a to the weight ratio of the polyolefin elastomer in layer b is 2:1 to 1:4, for example, it can be 1.5:1, 1:1, 1:1.5, 1:2, 1:2.5, 1:3, 1:3.5, and any value between them, more preferably 1:1 to 1:2. When co-extruded bilayer or multilayer films, the aforementioned weight ratio of the polyolefin elastomer in layer a to the weight ratio of the polyolefin elastomer in layer b can further improve the impact resistance and optical properties of the composite film, while also making the extrusion process more stable.
[0073] Specifically, in this embodiment, layer a may comprise 40-90 wt%, preferably 50-90 wt%, more preferably 55-75 wt% of the homopolymer polypropylene, 5-40 wt%, preferably 10-30 wt% of the propylene impact copolymer, and 2-30 wt%, preferably 5-20 wt% of the polyolefin elastomer, each based on the total weight of layer a. Layer b may comprise 40-95 wt%, preferably 60-95 wt%, more preferably 75-90 wt% of the random propylene copolymer, and 5-60 wt%, preferably 5-40 wt%, more preferably 10-25 wt% of the polyolefin elastomer, each based on the total weight of layer b.
[0074] Composite films containing such surface and core layers can advantageously possess not only excellent optical properties but also improved heat-sealing strength.
[0075] In this embodiment, the thickness uniformity and performance uniformity of the film can be greatly improved when the polyolefin elastomers in both layer a and layer b meet the following conditions: at 230°C and a shear rate of 160 s. -1 and 640s -1 The ratio of shear viscosity η 160 / η 640 The value is 1.2-3, preferably 1.7-2.3, and is achieved at 230°C and a shear rate of 640 s. -1 The shear viscosity η 640 The value is 100-500 Pa·s, preferably 140-400 Pa·s.
[0076] Furthermore, preferably, the propylene polymer composition used to form layer a and the propylene polymer composition used to form layer b are controlled at 230°C and a shear rate of 160 s. -1 The difference in shear viscosity (ηA) 160 -ηB 160 ) and at 230℃ and a shear rate of 640s -1 The difference in shear viscosity (ηA) 640 -ηB 640Both ) are ≥0, and the ratio of the two (ηA) 160 -ηB 160 ) / (ηA 640 -ηB 640 The ratio is 1-2.6, preferably 1.4-2.5, and more preferably 1.5-2.2. This allows for further improvement in the uniformity of film thickness and performance by adjusting the flowability of each layer of raw materials.
[0077] In another embodiment, layer a comprises a propylene polymer and the polyolefin elastomer, and layer b comprises the random propylene copolymer, the polyolefin elastomer, and the propylene impact copolymer. The propylene polymer in layer a may be selected from homopolymer polypropylene and / or the propylene impact copolymer. For example, layer a may comprise 70-100% by weight of the propylene polymer.
[0078] In this embodiment, preferably, the weight ratio of the polyolefin elastomer in layer a to the weight ratio of the polyolefin elastomer in layer b is 10:1-1:6, more preferably 6:1-1:4, and even more preferably 4:1-1:4. For example, it can be 3.5:1, 3:1, 2.5:1, 2:1, 1.5:1, 1:1, 1:1.5, 1:2, 1:2.5, 1:3, 1:3.5, and any value between them. When co-extrudeing bilayer or multilayer films, the aforementioned weight ratio of the polyolefin elastomer in layer a to the weight ratio of the polyolefin elastomer in layer b can further improve the impact resistance and optical properties of the composite film, while also making the extrusion process more stable.
[0079] Specifically, in this embodiment, layer a may comprise 50-95% by weight, preferably 70-95% by weight, more preferably 80-95% by weight, of the propylene polymer and 5-50% by weight, preferably 5-30% by weight, more preferably 5-20% by weight, of the polyolefin elastomer, each based on the total weight of layer a; layer b may comprise 40-90% by weight, preferably 50-90% by weight, more preferably 60-85% by weight, of the random propylene copolymer, 5-40% by weight, preferably 5-30% by weight, more preferably 5-20% by weight, of the polyolefin elastomer and 2-30% by weight, preferably 5-20% by weight, of the propylene impact copolymer, each based on the total weight of layer b.
[0080] Composite films containing such surface and core layers not only have improved impact resistance, optical and mechanical properties, but also, due to the synergistic effect between the propylene impact copolymer containing a specific rubber phase in the surface layer (heat seal layer) and other components, can effectively improve heat seal strength while reducing heat seal temperature.
[0081] In another embodiment, layer a comprises the polyolefin elastomer, the propylene impact copolymer, and other types of propylene polymers, the other types of propylene polymers being selected from the homopolymer polypropylene and / or the random copolymer of propylene; and layer b comprises the random copolymer of propylene and the polyolefin elastomer.

[0083] This composite film can simultaneously possess excellent impact resistance, optical properties, and tensile properties, and can also exhibit good heat-sealing strength at relatively low heat-sealing temperatures.
[0084] In this paper, the sum of the weight percentages of all components in each layer is 100% by weight.

[0171] Preferably, the propylene graft polymer can be prepared by solid-state grafting reaction of copolymerized polypropylene and grafting monomer, for example, according to the method described in Chinese patent applications with application numbers 202011195771.2, 202011191001.0, 202011195799.6, 202011190917.4, and 202011195819.X.
[0172] Specifically, the propylene graft polymer can be prepared by a method including the following steps: in the presence of an inert gas, a reaction mixture comprising copolymer polypropylene and graft monomer is subjected to a solid-phase grafting reaction to obtain the propylene graft polymer.
[0173] The solid-phase grafting reaction can be carried out using various methods conventional in the art, such as forming active graft sites on the copolymer polypropylene in the presence of grafting monomers, or first forming active graft sites on the copolymer polypropylene and then treating it with grafting monomers. Graft sites can be formed by treatment with free radical initiators, or by high-energy ionizing radiation or microwave treatment. Free radicals generated in the polymer as a result of chemical or radiation treatment form graft sites on the polymer and initiate monomer polymerization at these sites.
[0174] Preferably, the grafting site is initiated by a free radical initiator and a grafting reaction is further carried out. In this case, the reaction mixture further includes a free radical initiator; more preferably, the free radical initiator is selected from peroxide free radical initiators and / or azo free radical initiators.

[0178] The ratio of the mass of the free radical initiator to the total mass of the grafting monomer can be 0.1-10:100, preferably 0.5-5:100.
[0179] The grafting reaction can be carried out at a temperature of 30-130℃, preferably 60-120℃, and for a time of 0.5-10h, preferably 1-5h.

The mass content of the organic solvent is preferably 1-35% of the mass of the copolymerized polypropylene.
[0184] During the grafting reaction, the grafting monomers can polymerize individually or together to form a certain amount of ungrafted polymer. Therefore, the propylene grafted polymer can include both the product (crude product) directly obtained from copolymerized polypropylene and grafting monomers via a grafting reaction, and the grafted modified polypropylene pure product obtained by further purification of the product. Therefore, the preparation method may optionally include a step of purifying the crude product. The purification can be carried out using various methods conventional in the art, such as extraction.
[0185] Preferably, the grafting efficiency of the grafting reaction is controlled at 5-100%, more preferably 30-100%, further preferably 25-80%, or 35-60%.

[0187] Layer structure and properties of composite thin films
[0188] The composite film of the present invention can consist of only layer a and layer b, that is, a double-layer film.
[0189] In an alternative embodiment, in addition to layers a and b, the composite film of the present invention may also include one or more additional layers, i.e., three or more layers, thereby forming a three-layer film or a film with more than three layers, where layer b is the surface layer of the composite film. The composition of this additional layer may be the same as or different from that of layer a or layer b. This layer may also be formed by mixing the components of layer a and the components of layer b. For example, when the composite film is a three-layer film, this additional layer is called layer c, with layers b and c located on opposite sides of layer a, i.e., layer c is located on the side of layer a opposite to layer b, and in this case, layer c is also the surface layer. When the composite film is five layers, it is possible that two layers b serve as the top and bottom surface layers, two layers c serve as the middle layers, and one layer a serves as the core layer.
[0190] In this invention, the thicknesses of layers a, b, and optionally c, and other layers, are not particularly limited. The ratio of the sum of the thicknesses of all layers except layer a to the thickness of layer a can be 1:6 to 2:1, for example, 1:5.5, 1:5, 1:4.5, 1:4, 1:3.5, 1:3, 1:2.5, 1:2, 1:1.5, 1:1, 1.5:1, and any values between them, preferably 1:4 to 2:1, more preferably 1:2 to 1:1. Such composite films can advantageously possess better mechanical properties (e.g., tensile strength) and performance stability.
[0191] Unexpectedly, it has been found that, due to the presence of dispersed, parallel-arranged strip-shaped rubber phases derived from propylene impact copolymers in the composite film of the present invention, the composite film of the present invention can simultaneously possess excellent impact resistance and optical properties, and even excellent mechanical properties (e.g., tensile strength) and / or excellent heat-sealing properties, exhibiting good heat-sealing strength at relatively low heat-sealing temperatures.
[0192] When, in addition to the rubber phase from the propylene impact copolymer mentioned above, the composite film of the present invention also contains homopolymer polypropylene and polyolefin elastomer, the rubber phase and inelastic portion of the propylene impact copolymer will have a synergistic interaction with the polymer spherulites formed by homopolymer polypropylene and the rubber phase of polyolefin elastomer, so that the impact resistance and optical properties of the composite film can be further improved simultaneously, and even its mechanical properties can be improved.
[0193] The composite film according to the invention may advantageously possess one or more of the following properties, preferably all of them:
[0194] 1) The impact strength of the pendulum is ≥0.4J, for example ≥0.5J, 0.6J or 0.7J, preferably ≥0.9J, more preferably ≥1.1J, for example ≥1.5J, or even ≥1.8J;
[0195] 2) The haze of the film is less than 7%, preferably ≤5%, more preferably ≤3%, for example ≤2.5%, and even more preferably ≤2%;
[0196] 3) The longitudinal (MD) tensile strength is ≥40MPa, preferably ≥50MPa;
[0197] 4) The heat-sealing strength at 150°C is ≥12N / 15mm, preferably ≥15N / 15mm, more preferably ≥17N / 15mm, more preferably ≥18N / 15mm, or even ≥19N / 15mm, for example ≥20N / 15mm;
[0198] 5) The thickness deviation in the MD direction is not greater than 1.3, for example, not greater than 1.0, preferably not greater than 0.5;
[0199] 6) The thickness deviation in the TD direction shall not exceed 1.5, for example, not exceed 1.3, preferably not exceed 0.75 or not exceed 0.8;
[0200] 7) The impact resistance deviation in the MD direction is not greater than 0.05, preferably not greater than 0.03;
[0201] 8) The deviation of impact resistance in the TD direction is not greater than 0.07, preferably not greater than 0.05, and more preferably not greater than 0.04;
[0202] 9) Surface energy ≥29mN / m, for example ≥33mN / m, ≥34.5mN / m, preferably ≥35mN / m;
[0203] 10) Volume resistivity ≥ 1.5 × 10⁻⁶ 15 Ω·m, preferred selection rate ≥2.0×10 15 Ω·m.

[0206] Thin film haze: in accordance with standard GB / T 2410-2008;

[0209] Thickness deviation in the MD direction: The film thickness was measured using a Mitutoyo 7301 thickness gauge (Japan). (See attached...) Figure 1a As shown, after the film is trimmed, a point is taken every 1 meter along the MD direction on the center line of the film, for a total of 10 points. The thickness of each point is tested according to the method specified in GB / T8809-2015, and the average value is taken as the thickness (MD) of the film.

The average value is taken as the thickness (TD) of the film. The standard deviation of the thickness is calculated based on the above data and is taken as the thickness deviation in the TD direction.
[0211] Impact strength deviation in the MD direction: as shown in the attached figure. Figure 1a As shown, after the film is trimmed, a point is taken every 1 meter along the MD direction on the center line of the film, for a total of 10 points. The impact strength of each point is tested according to the method specified in GB / T8809-2015, and the average value is taken as the impact strength (MD) of the film.

The standard deviation of the impact strength is calculated based on the above data and is taken as the impact strength deviation in the TD direction.
[0213] Thin film surface energy: determined according to the method specified in GB / T 14216-2008.
[0214] Volume resistivity: determined according to the method specified in GB / T 1410-2006.
[0215] Preparation of composite thin films
[0216] A second aspect of the present invention provides a method for preparing the composite film of the present invention. The method of the present invention includes extruding and casting a raw material composition for forming the layers to form the composite film.
[0217] According to the present invention, prior to the extrusion process, the elastic portion of the propylene impact copolymer used in the raw material composition can be formed into a granular rubber phase, wherein the average particle size of the rubber phase is less than or equal to 1.8 μm, preferably less than or equal to 1.5 μm, and the maximum particle size does not exceed 2.5 μm, preferably not exceeding 2 μm, as determined by SEM observation of the cross-section of the sample.
[0218] The rubber phase is typically spherical or nearly spherical.
[0219] In this article, spherical and near-spherical refer to particles with an aspect ratio substantially in the range of 1-2. "Substantially" means that at least 90% of the rubber phase particles have an aspect ratio in the range of 1-2.
[0220] The average and maximum particle size of the rubber phase in the propylene impact copolymer of the raw material were determined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) of the cross-section of impact test specimens prepared according to the method specified in standard GB / T8809-2015. For spherical particles, the particle diameter was measured; for near-spherical particles, the longitudinal axis of the particle (the distance between the two farthest points on the particle profile) was measured. The average value of the above dimensions of 50 sample points was obtained by observing SEM images as the average particle size, and the maximum value of the above dimensions among the sample points was taken as the maximum particle size.
[0221] According to the present invention, by controlling the size of the rubber phase in the raw material propylene impact copolymer, the size of the rubber phase in the composite film can be made to be within the specific range described in the present invention.
[0222] Prior to the extrusion process, the components of the polymer composition used to prepare the layers (including optional additives such as antioxidants, lubricants and other film-forming aids) can be mixed or blended and optionally granulated.
[0223] The granulation process can be carried out as follows: The components of propylene polymer composition A (for layer a), propylene polymer composition B (for layer b), and optional polymer compositions (for other layers), along with optional additives, are mixed uniformly in a high-speed mixer. The uniformly mixed material is then added to a twin-screw extruder for melt mixing and uniform extrusion granulation, followed by drying to obtain granules. The processing temperature of the twin-screw extruder can be controlled at 170-230°C.
[0224] The resulting granules are then extruded and cast to form a composite film. The extrusion casting process can be carried out using conventional methods and common equipment. The extrusion casting method may include feeding granules for preparing the polymer composition of each layer into multiple extruders. After co-extrusion and composite flow from the extruder dies, the granules sequentially pass through casting rollers and traction rollers, followed by edge trimming and winding to obtain the composite film. The extrusion casting temperature can be controlled between 170-230°C. The temperature of the casting rollers can be between 10-50°C.
[0225] According to the preparation method of the present invention, the rubber phase contained in the propylene impact copolymer used as raw material is deformed during the preparation process of the composite film, changing from a spherical or near-spherical shape to a strip shape, and oriented in a certain direction, i.e., arranged in parallel, and such microstructure is maintained in the final composite film product, thereby obtaining a composite film with good impact resistance and optical properties according to the present invention.
[0226] Advantageously, the polyolefin elastomer used also deforms during the preparation of the composite film, becoming a strip-shaped rubber phase and oriented in a certain direction, i.e., parallel arrangement. This microstructure is maintained in the final composite film product, while interacting synergistically with the rubber phase from the propylene impact copolymer, thereby further improving the impact resistance, optical properties, and other properties (mechanical properties, heat-sealing properties, film uniformity, etc.) of the composite film.
[0227] The resulting composite film can be stretched in subsequent processes, such as biaxial stretching, which can advantageously further improve the mechanical properties of the composite film.
[0228] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the method for preparing the composite film includes granulating the propylene polymer composition A and the propylene polymer composition B, followed by extrusion casting and stretching to obtain the composite film.
[0229] Applications of composite films
[0230] A third aspect of the present invention provides the application of the composite film of the present invention in the field of packaging materials.
[0231] Because the composite film of the present invention can simultaneously possess good impact resistance and optical properties, and even good tensile properties and / or good heat-sealing strength at lower heat-sealing temperatures, and even good thickness and / or performance uniformity, the composite film of the present invention is particularly suitable for high-end packaging applications, such as fields requiring both high impact resistance and optical properties, such as battery packaging materials, electronic product packaging, and high-end food packaging. The packaging materials may, for example, include those comprising aluminum-plastic composite films.
[0232] When using the composite film of the present invention, layer a serves as the core layer, i.e., the layer relatively far from the medium that the composite film will contact, and layer b serves as the surface layer, i.e., the layer close to the medium that the composite film will contact. The medium is, for example, the electrolyte that contacts battery packaging materials.
[0233] Accordingly, a fourth aspect of the invention provides packaging materials comprising the composite film of the invention. The packaging material may be, for example, battery packaging materials, electronic product packaging materials, or food packaging materials, particularly high-end food packaging materials. The packaging material may, for example, comprise aluminum-plastic composite films. Detailed Implementation
