Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of polyamide composite material preparation, in particular to an antistatic polyamide composite material and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Polyamide, commonly known as nylon, is widely used in automobiles, industrial devices, electronic appliances, and other fields due to its excellent mechanical properties, heat resistance, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance. However, due to its molecular structure, its high insulation properties and poor antistatic properties make it prone to accidents caused by static electricity in some special fields, thus requiring antistatic modification.

[0003] The commonly used polyamide antistatic modification technologies are: (1) Adding conductive fillers: Adding conductive fillers to nylon to form a conductive network structure to achieve an antistatic effect. Commonly used conductive fillers include carbon black, metal powder, metal fiber, etc. These conductive fillers can form a conductive path in nylon, effectively conduct electricity, and reduce the surface resistance of nylon, thereby reducing the possibility of static electricity accumulation. (2) Surface coating: Coating an antistatic coating on the surface of nylon to form a protective layer that prevents static electricity accumulation. This coating is usually composed of a conductive polymer or conductive coating, which can effectively reduce the resistance of the nylon surface, thereby reducing static electricity accumulation. (3) Chemical modification: By introducing conductive groups into the nylon molecular chain, the nylon as a whole has conductive properties. This method can be achieved through copolymerization, cross-linking or functionalization. For example, by introducing monomers containing conductive groups into nylon, such as benzimidazole, thiophene, etc., the conductive properties of nylon can be improved. However, the compatibility of antistatic agents with resin matrices in the prior art is poor, which affects the mechanical properties of the prepared materials. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of this, an object of the present invention is to provide an antistatic polyamide composite material and a method for preparing the same. The present invention utilizes in-situ polymerization technology to perfectly disperse an antistatic agent in the polyamide resin during its preparation, thereby resolving the problem of poor compatibility between the filler and the resin and enabling the preparation of a high-performance antistatic resin. This method can significantly reduce the electrical resistance of the polyamide resin and enhance the antistatic properties of the polyamide material.

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0006] In one aspect, the present invention provides a method for preparing an antistatic polyamide composite material, comprising the following steps:

[0007] (1) Surface modification of conductive carbon black using liquid phase ozone oxidation to obtain carboxyl-modified carbon black;

[0008] (2) dissolving the diamine and dibasic acid in a certain amount of deionized water and adding them to a high-temperature and high-pressure reactor under nitrogen protection. After reacting for 1-3 hours, adjust the pH to 6.5-7.5 using the dibasic acid or diamine;

[0009] (3) Then, a catalyst, an antioxidant, a lubricant, and an end group modifier are added to the above-mentioned reactor, and under a nitrogen atmosphere, the pressure is controlled at 0.6-1.8 MPa, and prepolymerization is carried out at 140-220° C. for 0.5-3 h; then, carboxyl-modified carbon black is added through a constant pressure feeding tank, and the constant temperature and pressure reaction is continued for 1-3 h to obtain a carbon black-modified polyamide prepolymer; the end group modifier is a diamine or a diisocyanate;

[0010] (4) Slowly open the vent valve to discharge the water in the system, raise the temperature to 240-280°C, and perform vacuum polycondensation to obtain an antistatic polyamide composite material.

[0011] The diamine is selected from one or more of pentamethylenediamine, hexamethylenediamine, nonamethylenediamine, decanediamine and dodecanediamine, and the dibasic acid is selected from one or more of adipic acid, sebacic acid and dodecanedicarboxylic acid.

[0012] Preferably, the end group modifier is a compound that can react with both polyamide molecules and carboxyl-modified carbon black, which can ensure that the polyamide prepolymer has highly active end groups and successfully link the polyamide prepolymer to the surface of the conductive carbon black by chemical bonds. Preferably, the end group modifier is pentamethylenediamine, hexamethylenediamine, decamethylenediamine, toluene diisocyanate, and isophorone diisocyanate, and the amount used is 0.2%-5% of the total mass of the diamine and dibasic acid.

[0013] The content of carboxyl groups in step (1) is characterized by the ratio of oxygen and nitrogen elements, and the group content is regulated by the surface treatment time and controlled within 0.2-5%.

[0014] Furthermore, step 1 specifically comprises: mixing 5 parts of conductive carbon black and 100 parts of deionized water, introducing ozone for oxidation for 1 hour, then adjusting the pH to 13-14 with a NaOH aqueous solution and continuing oxidation for 5-8 hours. After the oxidation is completed, the oxidized carbon black is filtered and the pH is adjusted to 2-5 with hydrochloric acid, and repeatedly washed with water to separate the carboxyl-modified carbon black.

[0015] Furthermore, the specific amount of each substance used in steps (2)-(3) is:

[0016] 70-130 parts by weight of diamine, 100-180 parts by weight of dibasic acid, 70-180 parts by weight of deionized water, 0.5-3 parts by weight of catalyst, 0.1-3 parts by weight of antioxidant, 0.5-5 parts by weight of lubricant, and 0.5-5 parts by weight of carboxyl-modified carbon black.

[0017] Preferably, the catalyst is one or more of phosphoric acid, phosphorous acid, sodium hydrogen phosphate, disodium hydrogen phosphate, and sodium hypophosphite monohydrate, more preferably phosphoric acid and sodium hypophosphite monohydrate; the antioxidant is selected from one or more of antioxidant 1010, antioxidant H3322, antioxidant H3332, antioxidant 168, and antioxidant SEED, more preferably antioxidant SEED; and the lubricant is silicone oil.

[0018] Furthermore, the step (4) is specifically as follows: exhausting water vapor within 30-60 minutes and controlling the temperature to slowly rise to 240-280°C until normal pressure is restored; the vacuum polycondensation temperature is 240-280°C, the vacuum degree is strictly controlled, the vacuum degree is increased by 0.020MPa every 10 minutes until it reaches -0.099MPa, and after constant pressure reaction for 5-20 minutes, nitrogen is filled in to restore normal pressure, discharging, casting, cooling, and pelletizing.

[0019] On the other hand, the present invention also provides an antistatic polyamide composite material prepared by the above method. The surface / volume resistance of the antistatic polyamide composite material is less than 1×10 10 Ω.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0021] The present invention modifies the conductive carbon black with functional groups so that the carboxyl groups on its surface can be evenly and stably dispersed with polyamide in the preparation system, react with the end groups of the polyamide molecular chain, and realize in-situ polymerization of polyamide on the carbon black surface. This perfectly solves the problem of poor compatibility of carbon black in polyamide resin and difficulty in dispersion. In addition, after the polyamide monomer is pre-polymerized to a certain extent, reactive conductive carbon black is added for staged polymerization, and a special end group modifier is introduced. This can effectively prevent the introduction of conductive carbon black from causing an imbalance in the acid-amine ratio and the loss of polymerization activity of the product, thereby ensuring that the polyamide molecules are effectively polymerized on the carbon black surface. The conductive carbon black polyamide composite material obtained by the present invention not only has good antistatic properties, but also has excellent mechanical properties. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0061] Comparative Example 7

[0062] In this comparative example, the polyamide 56 resin prepared in comparative example 1 was mechanically blended with carboxyl-modified carbon black to prepare a blended modified antistatic polyamide 56 composite material. Specifically, the detailed preparation process is as follows: 100 parts of polyamide 56 resin, 2 parts of conductive carbon black, 5 parts of white oil, and 5 parts of compatibilizer were fully mixed in a high-speed mixer and melt-blended in a twin-screw extruder.

[0066] Table 1

[0067]

[0068] As shown in Table 1, the present invention, by introducing carboxyl-modified carbon black into the polyamide preparation system for in-situ polymerization, imparts excellent antistatic properties to the polyamide material while simultaneously addressing dispersibility issues. Furthermore, the polyamide segments chemically bonded to the surface of the conductive carbon black exhibit good compatibility with the resin matrix, resulting in excellent mechanical properties.

[0069] As shown in Example 1 and Example 4-5, the antistatic polyamide composites using different end group modifiers show different mechanical properties. Diamines can react with part of the carboxyl group in the molecular chain, increase the amino content in the polyamide resin, make it easier to combine with carbon black, and its reactivity is consistent with polyamide polymerization, which has a smaller impact on the polycondensation system. Short-chain diamines have better rigidity, while long-chain diamines have a higher elongation at break as end group modifiers, a lower flexural modulus, and better toughness. Diisocyanates are highly active and easily react in the early stage of prepolymerization, so carbon black should be added earlier. In addition, diisocyanate end group modifiers have greater rigidity, and antistatic polyamides show better bending properties and dimensional stability. As shown in Example 4-5, introducing carboxyl or amino groups on the surface of conductive carbon black can achieve functional group modification of conductive carbon black, which can perfectly react with the polyamide matrix and provide excellent antistatic properties. As shown in Examples 6-7, as the content of carboxyl-modified carbon black increases, the mechanical properties of the antistatic polyamide composite material first increase and then decrease. This is because the introduction of nanofillers provides physical crosslinking points, which can effectively transfer stress and prevent crack propagation, thus achieving an enhanced effect. However, when the addition amount is too large, the excessive introduction of carboxyl groups causes the polymer molecular weight to decrease, resulting in a slight decrease in strength. However, with the introduction of conductive fillers, its resistance is significantly reduced, and the antistatic properties are significantly enhanced.

[0070] Table 2

[0071]

[0072] Comparing Examples 1-3 with Comparative Example 1, the polyamide material can be endowed with good antistatic properties and excellent mechanical properties by introducing carboxyl-modified carbon black into the polyamide preparation system for in-situ polymerization.

[0073] Comparing Example 1 with Comparative Example 2 shows that pure conductive carbon black, without surface functional group modification, cannot be well dispersed into the polyamide resin matrix during the polymerization stage. Because the nanoparticles easily agglomerate and lack hydrophilic groups, they easily precipitate and separate during the polyamide resin polymerization process, failing to form a homogeneous system with the polyamide. This results in poor mechanical properties and no significant improvement in conductivity. Therefore, functionalizing conductive carbon black is essential for the in-situ preparation of antistatic polyamides.

[0074] As can be seen from Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 3-4, the time when carboxyl-modified carbon black is introduced into the polymerization system is crucial. When added too early, due to the presence of a large number of small-molecule monomers in the polymerization system, their high activity can quickly react with the carbon black surface active groups, causing an imbalance of the polyamide monomer acid amine. On the other hand, after more small molecules react with carbon black, it is difficult for the polymer chain to connect with the carbon black, ultimately causing a decrease in product molecular weight, reduced compatibility between carbon black and the resin matrix, and decreased interfacial properties. When added in the second half of the entire prepolymerization process, since the carboxyl-modified carbon black does not have sufficient time to mix with the prepolymerization system, the reaction efficiency of the carbon black surface groups with the polyamide molecules is low, the viscosity increases rapidly when outgassing enters the final polymerization stage, and the carbon black is more difficult to disperse, resulting in decreased mechanical properties and uneven conductivity.

[0075] Comparison of Example 1 and Comparative Example 3 shows that stage prepolymerization is crucial for the in-situ preparation of high molecular weight antistatic polyamide composite materials. This is because after a one-time feeding, a large amount of diamine reacts rapidly with carboxyl modified carbon black, resulting in an imbalance of acid and amine. After a certain period of prepolymerization of polyamide before the introduction of conductive carbon black, a low molecular weight prepolymer is formed, the reaction activity is reduced, and a mixed system with excessive terminal amine groups is formed under the action of the end group modifier. At this time, the introduction of carboxyl modified carbon black can play a coupling chain extension role, so that the prepolymer molecules are fully combined with the carbon black particles to form polymer chain modified conductive carbon black particles. The polymer chain modified conductive carbon black particles formed, on the one hand, the polymer chains on the carbon black surface can continue to form crosslinking points with the macromolecular system through polycondensation, and on the other hand, the polymer chains on the carbon black surface can play a good role in promoting compatibility and transferring stress, so that its interface performance is better.

[0076] Furthermore, to ensure sufficient reaction between the carboxyl-modified carbon black and the polyamide molecules, the addition of an end-group modifier is also crucial. Comparison of Examples 1, 4, and 5 with Comparative Example 5 reveals that the use of an end-group modifier capable of reacting simultaneously with the carboxyl-modified carbon black and the polyamide significantly improves the mechanical properties of the antistatic polyamide. This is because the end-group modifier effectively bonds the polyamide molecules to the carbon black.

[0077] Comparison of Example 1 with Comparative Examples 6-7 reveals that the in-situ polymerization of the present invention to prepare the antistatic polyamide composite material can significantly enhance the mechanical properties of the material and achieve uniform dispersion of the inorganic filler in the resin system. Furthermore, the introduction of carboxyl groups onto the carbon black surface can also effectively enhance the overall performance of the composite material during mechanical blending. This is because surface functionalization enhances the interaction between the carbon black and the resin, resulting in improved interfacial bonding. Furthermore, during melt blending, the small amount of terminal amine groups in the polyamide can react with the carboxyl groups on the surface of the carboxyl-modified carbon black, forming a favorable chemical link.

[0078] In summary, the present invention modifies conductive carbon black with functional groups, allowing it to contain carboxyl groups on its surface, allowing it to be evenly and stably dispersed in the preparation system with polyamide. These groups then react with the end groups of the polyamide molecular chains, achieving in-situ polymerization of the polyamide on the carbon black surface. The resulting conductive carbon black-polyamide composite material exhibits not only excellent antistatic properties but also outstanding mechanical properties.

[0079] The above is a preferred embodiment of the present invention. For ordinary technicians in this technical field, making several improvements and modifications without departing from the principles of the present invention should also be considered as the scope of protection of the present invention.
