Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of foaming materials, and particularly relates to a high-tensile-strength foaming material, a preparation method thereof, and an application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Foaming materials include polyamide (PA)-based foaming materials. Polyamide-based foaming materials belong to polyether-polyamide alternating block copolymers (Polyether-b-amide, PEBA), also known as nylon elastomers. The hard segments of this copolymer are aliphatic polyamides with strong crystallinity and high melting points, and the soft segments are polyethers, enabling it to possess not only various advantages of polyamides, such as good processability, high temperature resistance, good solvent resistance, creep resistance, good dimensional stability, wear resistance, etc.; but also various advantages of polyethers, such as good low-temperature toughness, impact resistance, and resilience. Polyamide includes long-chain polyamide (LCPA). Long-chain polyamide is a polyamide in which the number of methylene repeating units between two adjacent amide groups is greater than 10. LCPA not only has good toughness and dimensional stability but also has advantages such as fatigue resistance and low processing temperature. Therefore, polyamide elastomer (LCPAE) using LCPA as the hard segment enables the polyamide elastomer to have the dual advantages of long-chain polyamide and elastomer.

[0003] When nylon elastomer is used alone as a foaming material, the price is relatively expensive, and its mechanical properties, especially the toughness at low temperatures, are insufficient. Currently, most on the market use nylon elastomer to blend with other elastomers to prepare foaming materials, which can reduce costs and also make up for the lack of toughness at low temperatures. However, due to the low mixing entropy of polymers themselves, most polymers are thermodynamically incompatible, and the immiscibility of different polar polymers leads to phase separation, resulting in the coarsening of the polymer morphology, the formation of large dispersed domains and weak interfaces in the continuous matrix, and ultimately the deterioration of the mechanical properties due to the inherent tendency of the polymer.

[0004] Chinese invention patent CN108250734B discloses a Pebax / TPU blend foaming material. Its formula by weight is as follows: the total parts of Pebax and TPU are 100 parts, and the weight ratio of Pebax to TPU is 10:90 - 90:10. The preparation method is to blend Pebax and TPU and then granulate. After drying the particles, put them into a high-pressure reaction kettle filled with an appropriate amount of water, start stirring, introduce a physical foaming agent, heat up and pressurize it to reach the supercritical state. When the supercritical fluid reaches saturation in the polymer particles, open the valve and rapidly depressurize to obtain microcellular foamed beads. However, during the preparation process of this foaming material, the physical crosslinking points between the strong polar groups in the TPU molecules are reduced, resulting in serious shrinkage of the foamed beads and a decrease in the resilience and tensile strength of the foaming material.

[0005] Chinese Patent Application CN108047702A discloses a thermoplastic elastomer and its foamed material. A new thermoplastic elastomer material is obtained by blending Pebax with one or more of POE and OBC and then crosslinking. After that, this material is supercritically foamed to obtain the foamed material of this elastomer. However, there are problems in the foamed material such as two-phase or multi-phase blending, insufficient mixing, phase separation at the micron scale, resulting in certain problems in the interfacial bonding between particles and shrinkage.

[0006] Patent No. CN109111720A discloses an ultra-light and high-rebound ETPU composite shock-absorbing midsole material for shoes and its molding method. The ultra-light and high-rebound ETPU composite shock-absorbing midsole material for shoes is prepared by granulating, foaming and molding processes from a TPU composite material. The TPU composite material includes, by mass: 60-95 parts of TPU resin, 0-20 parts of nylon elastomer resin, 0-20 parts of polyester elastomer resin, 1-5 parts of polyester resin, 0.5-2 parts of nucleating agent, 0.1-0.5 parts of antioxidant, 0.1-1 part of stearic acid, and 0.1-0.5 parts of cell stabilizer. Among them, the TPU resin is a mixture composed of a TPU resin with a Shore hardness of 90-95A and a TPU resin with a Shore hardness of 50-60A. The proportion of the TPU resin with a hardness of 90-95A is 80%-95%, and the proportion of the TPU resin with a hardness of 50-60A is 5%-20%. However, this ultra-light and high-rebound ETPU composite shock-absorbing midsole material for shoes uses a variety of materials in blending, and there are also problems such as multi-phase separation, interfacial bonding and shrinkage.

[0007] Patent No. CN111117215A discloses a thermoplastic elastomer foamed shoe material and its preparation method, which uses two or more nylon elastomers in blending and is composed of the following raw materials by mass: 100 parts of modified polyamide elastomer, 0.1-0.5 parts of antioxidant, and 0-10 parts of nucleating agent. The modified polyamide elastomer includes at least two polyamide elastomers, and the foamed material of this elastomer is prepared by supercritical fluid foaming technology. Although the problem of uneven multi-phase mixing is avoided, only nylon elastomers are used, which are expensive and the mechanical properties have not been truly improved.

[0008] Therefore, how to provide a high-tensile-strength foamed material, its preparation method and application, reduce the preparation cost of the foamed material, and improve its mechanical properties are technical problems urgently to be solved in this field. Summary of the Invention

[0009] In view of this, the present invention provides a high-tensile-strength foaming material, its preparation method and application. The present invention uses ethylene vinyl acetate grafted maleic anhydride (EVA-g-MAH) and hydrogenated styrene-butadiene-styrene grafted maleic anhydride (SEBS-g-MAH) as co-compatibilizers, and blends polyether block amide and ethylene vinyl acetate through a kneader, solving the problems of poor mechanical properties and high cost of the foaming material.

[0010] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0011] A high-tensile-strength foaming material is prepared from raw materials comprising the following parts by mass: 20-80 parts of polyether block amide, 10-75 parts of ethylene vinyl acetate, 1-10 parts of compatibilizer, and 0.1-0.5 parts of antioxidant;

[0012] The compatibilizer includes ethylene vinyl acetate grafted maleic anhydride and hydrogenated styrene-butadiene-styrene grafted maleic anhydride.

[0013] Preferably, the mass ratio of ethylene vinyl acetate grafted maleic anhydride to hydrogenated styrene-butadiene-styrene grafted maleic anhydride is 1-10:1-10.

[0014] Preferably, the polyether block amide is a block copolymer with alternating long carbon chain soft segments and hard segments.

[0015] Preferably, the soft segment in the polyether block amide includes one or more of polytetramethylene ether, polyethylene oxide, polytetrahydrofuran, polyethylene glycol, polypropylene glycol, copolyether diol, polyether diamine, polysiloxane polyolefin; the hard segment includes one or more of PA11, PA12, PA1012.

[0016] Preferably, the antioxidant includes one or more of antioxidant 1010, antioxidant 168, antioxidant 1076, antioxidant 1098.

[0017] Another object of the present invention is to provide a preparation method of a high-tensile-strength foaming material, comprising the following steps:

[0018] Knead, dry, and press polyether block amide, ethylene vinyl acetate, compatibilizer, and antioxidant in sequence to obtain a high-tensile-strength foaming material.

[0019] Preferably, the temperature of the kneading is 180-200 °C, the time of the kneading is 10-12 min, and the rotor speed during the kneading process is 50-60 rpm.

[0020] Preferably, the temperature of the pressing is 200-220 °C, the pressure during the pressing process ≥ 10 MPa, the pressing time is 8-10 min, and exhaust air 3-4 times during the pressing period.

[0021] A further object of the present invention is to provide an application of the tensile high-strength foamed material prepared by the said preparation method in the field of sports protection pads or sports shoe soles.

[0022] As can be seen from the above technical solutions, compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0023] 1. The present invention uses ethylene vinyl acetate grafted maleic anhydride (EVA-g-MAH) and hydrogenated styrene-butadiene-styrene grafted maleic anhydride (SEBS-g-MAH) as co-compatibilizers. Both compatibilizers are grafted with maleic anhydride, and this group can react with the hydroxyl group (-OH) or carboxyl group (-COOH) in the PA phase of polyether block amide (PEBA). At the same time, EVA-g-MAH and SEBS-g-MAH both have good compatibility with ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA). The addition of the compatibilizer enhances the interaction between the two matrices, reduces the interfacial tension and the domain size; secondly, when the two compatibilizers are added simultaneously, the agglomeration between them can be reduced, further enhancing the binding force between the two phases of the matrix and also reducing the interfacial tension, thereby further reducing the phase size of the dispersed phase and making the size distribution more uniform. The present invention uses it as a compatibilizer for PEBA and EVA, greatly improving the mechanical properties of the PEBA / EVA blend.

[0024] 2. The method disclosed in the present invention is simple and easy to implement, and while reducing costs, a PEBA / EVA blend material with excellent performance is obtained. Detailed Embodiments

[0061] The difference between this comparative example and Example 1 is only that 5 parts of hydrogenated styrene-butadiene-styrene grafted maleic anhydride are added, and ethylene vinyl acetate grafted maleic anhydride is not added.

[0062] Comparative Example 2

[0063] The difference between this comparative example and Example 1 is only that 5 parts of ethylene vinyl acetate grafted maleic anhydride are added, and hydrogenated styrene-butadiene-styrene grafted maleic anhydride is not added.

[0064] Experimental Example 1

[0065] 1. Mechanical properties

[0066] The PEBA / EVA blend was pressed into a film with a thickness of 0.25 mm, and then cut into dumbbell-shaped specimens with dimensions of 50×4×0.25 mm. 3 . The mechanical property tests were carried out on a small tensile testing machine of model E42.503 at a tensile rate of 10 mm / min. Each group of samples was measured at least five times and the average value was taken as the result, in accordance with the national standard GB-T 1040.3.

[0067] Table 1 Test results of mechanical properties

[0068]

[0069] Table 1 shows the values of tensile strength, elongation at break, and Young's modulus. It can be seen from Examples 1 to 8 and Comparative Examples 1 to 2 that adding the two compatibilizers simultaneously can more effectively improve the mechanical properties of PEBA / EVA.

[0070] 2. Differential scanning calorimeter

[0071] Under a nitrogen atmosphere, the crystallization temperature, melting temperature, and melting enthalpy (T C , T m , ΔH m ) were measured using a DSC (Discovery DSC25, TA) calibrated with indium metal.

[0072] The test procedure was as follows: 5 - 10 mg of the sample was placed in an aluminum pan, heated to 220°C at a rate of 30°C / min, held isothermally for 3 min, then cooled to 20°C at a rate of 10°C / min, held for 1 min, and finally heated to 220°C at a rate of 10°C / min. The test results are shown in Table 2.

[0073] Table 2 Test results of differential scanning calorimeter

[0074]

[0075] The subscripts 1 and 2 represent the parameters of EVA and PEBA respectively.

[0076] Table 2 shows that as the EVA content increases, T c1 gradually shifts towards lower temperatures, and T c2 shifts towards higher temperatures. T m changes little, indicating that with the addition of EVA, the heterogeneous nucleation effect leads to an accelerated crystallization rate of PEBA, but the crystallization rate of EVA itself decreases. When a compatibilizer is further added, due to the compatibilization effect, T c2 shifts towards lower temperatures, but has little effect on the melting points of the two components. The enthalpy of fusion (ΔH m ) can indirectly reflect the change in crystallinity. With the addition of EVA, the segmental motion of the PEBA chains is restricted, resulting in a decrease in crystallinity. Moreover, as the EVA content increases, the degree of restriction of the PEBA chain segment motion increases, leading to a further decrease in crystallinity. After adding the compatibilizer, the crystallinity increases to a certain extent due to the compatibilization effect. Generally speaking, the mass fraction and type of the added compatibilizer have little effect on the thermodynamic parameters of PEBA / EVA.

[0077] In this specification, each embodiment is described in a progressive manner. The key point of each embodiment is to illustrate the differences from other embodiments. For the same or similar parts among the embodiments, reference can be made to each other.

[0078] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to implement or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be obvious to those skilled in the art. The general principles defined herein can be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention.
