TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of high polymer materials, in particular to a black laser-weldable glass fiber reinforced polylactic acid plastic component and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] The specific principle of laser welding is that infrared laser (800nm-1100nm) penetrates the upper light-transmitting material and reaches the surface of the lower light-absorbing material, the lower light-absorbing material is heated and melted, and the heat is transferred to the upper material, the two materials are melted on the contact surface, and the secondary polymerization is carried out under the clamping force, and the welding is completed after cooling. Therefore, the laser welding material requires that the upper material can transmit the laser to the greatest extent (>30%), the lower material needs to absorb the laser to the greatest extent, and the matching of the upper and lower materials also follows the principle of similar compatibility.
[0003] Polylactic acid is a crystalline material, but due to its extremely slow crystallization speed, it is basically in an amorphous state without crystallization treatment, thus having a high light transmittance, which provides the possibility for laser welding. However, due to the brittleness of polylactic acid itself, it cannot meet the strength requirements for laser welding in the fields of automobiles and electronic appliances, and therefore needs to be reinforced and modified. Among the methods for improving the strength of polylactic acid, the main methods include glass fiber reinforcement, mineral filling reinforcement, natural fiber reinforcement and composite filling reinforcement.
[0004] However, using mineral filling and natural fiber to reinforce and modify polylactic acid can solve the problem of insufficient strength of polylactic acid, but at the same time, it will also cause a serious decrease in light transmittance, affecting the process of laser welding.

[0048] According to the formulation in Table 1, the raw material components in the examples and the comparative examples except for Comparative Example 3 are prepared according to the following preparation method to prepare the black laser-weldable glass fiber reinforced polylactic acid plastic component, and the preparation steps are as follows:
[0049] (1) After the polylactic acid, the plasticizer, the coupling agent, the antioxidant, and the surfactant are uniformly mixed in a certain proportion, they are added to a double-screw extruder from a main feeding port, and the glass fiber is added to the double-screw extruder from a side feeding port. After melting and extrusion by the double-screw extruder, cooling and granulation are performed to obtain a natural color upper light-transmitting material master batch;
[0050] Among them, the double-screw extruder has 9 barrels, and the side feeding port is arranged in the sixth barrel (the sixth zone). During the preparation of the upper light-transmitting material, the temperature settings of the double-screw extruder from 1-9 zones are 155℃, 160℃, 170℃, 170℃, 160℃, 170℃, 160℃, 160℃, and 170℃.
[0051] (2) After the natural color upper light-transmitting material master batch and the infrared-transparent organic black powder are uniformly mixed in a certain proportion, single-screw injection molding is performed to obtain the upper light-transmitting material (this process is the infrared-transparent organic black powder external mixing injection molding); wherein the single-screw injection molding temperature is 190-210℃;
[0052] (3) After the polylactic acid, the plasticizer, the coupling agent, the antioxidant, the surfactant, and the carbon black are uniformly mixed in a certain proportion, they are added from the main feeding port, and the glass fiber is added to the double-screw extruder from the side feeding port. After melting and extrusion by the double-screw extruder, cooling and granulation are performed to obtain a black lower light-absorbing material master batch;
[0053] The double screw extruder has 9 barrels, and the side feeding port is arranged in the sixth barrel (sixth zone). In the preparation process of the lower layer light-absorbing material, the temperatures of the first to ninth zones of the double screw extruder are set to 145°C, 150°C, 160°C, 160°C, 150°C, 160°C, 150°C, 150°C, and 160°C, and the glass fibers are added from the sixth barrel.
[0054] (4) The black lower layer light-absorbing material master batch is formed by single screw injection molding, and the single screw injection molding temperature is 190-210°C, so as to obtain the lower layer light-absorbing material.
[0055] (5) The upper layer light-transmitting material and the lower layer light-absorbing material are laser welded under a certain clamping force, and after cooling, a polylactic acid laser welding assembly is obtained.
[0056] (6) The polylactic acid laser welding assembly is annealed at a temperature of 110-130°C for 3-5 min, so as to obtain a black laser-weldable glass fiber reinforced polylactic acid plastic assembly.
[0057] It should be noted that the preparation method of Comparative Example 3 is different from that of the above examples. In the above examples, the infrared-transmitting organic black powder is added by external mixing injection molding. The external mixing injection molding is that other raw material components are mixed first, then extruded and granulated by a double screw extruder, and then the infrared-transmitting organic black powder is mixed with the above natural color upper layer master batch, and then single screw injection molding is performed. In Comparative Example 3, the infrared-transmitting organic black powder is added by passing through the machine. The passing through the machine is that the infrared-transmitting organic black powder is directly mixed with other raw material components, and then extruded and granulated by a double screw extruder, and then the master batch is injection molded. That is, the difference between Comparative Example 3 and the above examples is that in step (1) of Comparative Example 3, the infrared-transmitting organic black powder is directly added to the double screw extruder, the infrared-transmitting organic black powder is extruded and cooled after being mixed with other components in the double screw extruder, and then a black upper layer light-transmitting material master batch is obtained; in step (2) of Comparative Example 3, the black upper layer light-transmitting material master batch is directly injection molded by a single screw, and the upper layer light-transmitting material is obtained.
[0058] The materials prepared in the examples and comparative examples are tested for relevant indexes, and the test results are shown in Table 2.
[0059] Table 2
[0060]
[0061]
[0062] The light transmittance test: the sample thickness is 2 mm, and the test wavelength is 1064 nm; the welding method is to use a flame-retardant sample strip with upper and lower layers, and under the action of laser and a certain clamping force, welding is carried out at a power of 16 W and a speed of 1000 mm / s, wherein the flame-retardant strip specification is 125*13*1.6 mm, the laser wavelength is 1064 nm, the clamping force is 5 bar, and the weld size is 15*5 mm; the test method for welding strength is to perform tensile test on the welded flame-retardant strip on a tensile testing machine until the sample breaks, and the maximum tensile strength force value during the entire process is taken, wherein the tensile speed is 5 mm / min.
[0063] From the test results in Table 2, it can be seen that:
[0064] In Examples 1-3, the upper light-transmitting material and the lower light-absorbing material use polylactic acid with a specific ratio and a specific melting point, and the upper light-transmitting material and the lower light-absorbing material are limited to specific raw material components in a specific ratio, and a certain amount of organic infrared-transmitting black powder is added by using the external doped injection molding method, so that the black laser-weldable polylactic acid plastic assembly prepared can maintain good light transmittance and welding strength while being glass fiber reinforced.
[0065] From the comparison results of the examples and the comparative examples, it can be seen that:
[0066] The difference between Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 is that the addition amount of the infrared-transmitting organic black powder and the carbon black in Example 1 is within the limited range of the present application, and the addition amount of the infrared-transmitting organic black powder and the carbon black in Comparative Example 1 is lower than the limited range of the present application; compared with Example 1, the welding strength in Comparative Example 1 decreases significantly, which indicates that the amount of carbon black and the amount of infrared-transmitting organic black powder cannot be too small (lower than the limited range of the present application), otherwise the light-absorbing capacity of the lower light-absorbing layer will be insufficient, and the welding strength will decrease.
[0067] The difference between Example 1 and Comparative Example 2 is that the addition amount of the infrared-transmitting organic black powder and the carbon black in Example 1 is within the limited range of the present application, and the addition amount of the infrared-transmitting organic black powder and the carbon black in Comparative Example 2 is higher than the limited range of the present application; compared with Example 1, the welding strength and the light transmittance in Comparative Example 2 decrease significantly, which indicates that the amount of carbon black and the amount of infrared-transmitting organic black powder cannot be too high (higher than the limited range of the present application), and excessive infrared-transmitting organic black powder will cause the light transmittance of the upper light-transmitting material to decrease, and the welding strength will decrease.
[0068] The difference between Example 1 and Comparative Example 3 is that the addition of the infrared-transparent organic black powder in Example 1 is by using the method of external mixing injection molding, while the addition of the infrared-transparent organic black powder in Comparative Example 3 is not by external mixing, but by mixing with other components together and then adding into the twin-screw extruder; compared with Example 1, the light transmittance and the welding strength in Comparative Example 3 are both decreased, which indicates that the addition of the infrared-transparent organic black powder by using the method of external mixing injection molding can improve the welding strength and the light transmittance.
[0069] Comparative Example 4 is based on Example 1, and a nucleating agent is added into the upper light-transmitting material, and the test results show that the welding strength and the light transmittance in Comparative Example 4 are both decreased. Since the nucleating agent has the effect of increasing the crystallinity, the loss increases when the laser passes through, and the energy required for the material to melt also increases, which leads to the decrease of the welding strength, and then it is guessed that the organic color powder is dispersed very uniformly in Comparative Example 3 when passing through the machine, which acts as a nucleating agent, leading to the increase of the crystallinity and the decrease of the welding strength, and the method of external mixing injection molding just solves this problem.
[0070] The difference between Example 1 and Comparative Example 5 is that the upper light-transmitting material and the lower light-absorbing material in Example 1 use polylactic acid with different melting points, respectively, while the upper light-transmitting material and the lower light-absorbing material in Comparative Example 5 use polylactic acid with the same melting point; compared with Comparative Example 5, the welding strength of Example 1 is improved, which indicates that when the melting point of the light-absorbing layer is lower than that of the light-transmitting layer, the welding seam can be fused better and the welding strength can also be improved.
[0071] The difference between Example 1 and Comparative Example 6 is that the addition amount of glass fiber in Example 1 is within the limited range of the present application, while the addition amount of glass fiber in Comparative Example 6 exceeds the limited range of the present application; the light transmittance in Comparative Example 6 is low and the welding appears to fall off, while the welding strength and the light transmittance in Example 1 remain good, which indicates that the excessive addition amount of glass fiber (exceeding the limited range of the present application) can easily lead to too low light transmittance and the inability to perform laser welding.
[0072] In summary, compared with the prior art, the black laser-weldable glass fiber reinforced polylactic acid plastic assembly of the present application has the upper light-transmitting material and the lower light-absorbing material by respectively selecting two polylactic acid raw material components with specific melting points and a melting point difference, and the upper light-transmitting material and the lower light-absorbing material are limited to specific raw material components in a specific ratio, and a certain amount of organic infrared-transparent black powder is added by using the method of external mixing injection molding, so that the glass fiber reinforced polylactic acid plastic assembly prepared can be glass fiber reinforced while maintaining good light transmittance and welding strength.
[0073] It needs to be particularly pointed out that the ESO described herein is epoxy soybean oil, the ATBC is acetyl tri-n-butyl citrate, and the TBC is tributyl citrate.
