Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to an interface assembly modified halloysite nanotube and a composite material thereof, and a preparation method thereof, and belongs to the technical field of mechanical reinforcement of polymer materials, smoke suppression materials and electromagnetic shielding. BACKGROUND

[0002] Although the special engineering plastics used in the fields of electronic appliances, aerospace, automobile transportation, machinery and chemical industry can achieve excellent high-temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, radiation resistance and flame retardance, the common special engineering plastics still generally have the problems of poor toughness and weak impact resistance, which greatly limits the application of the special engineering plastics. The traditional engineering plastics are usually toughened by rubber or thermoplastic elastomer, although the toughening effect is good, but the rigidity of the engineering plastics is greatly reduced. The current solution is usually to cooperate with certain inorganic rigid particles as reinforcing agents to avoid the large decrease in rigidity, but this will affect the toughening effect.

[0003] Halloysite has a multi-walled nanotube structure, is a naturally occurring nanoscale tubular mineral material, and has the advantages of easy availability, wide source, low price, low processing difficulty, non-toxicity and good biocompatibility compared with synthetic nanotubes. Its unique structure enables it to impart diversified properties to the composite material through modification. Meanwhile, halloysite is also a commonly used inorganic filler, but when it is applied in organic polymers, it often has the problems of poor dispersion and insufficient bonding force between the polymer matrix, thereby greatly reducing the reinforcing effect of halloysite on the polymer.

[0004] Firstly, the nanomaterials represented by halloysite are prone to agglomeration after being introduced into polymers, resulting in the loss of small size advantage. When the composite material is stressed, the position of these agglomerates usually first breaks due to stress concentration, resulting in insignificant reinforcing effect of the filler, and even the strength of the composite material is not improved after modification when the agglomeration is serious.

[0005] Secondly, the nanomaterials represented by halloysite have weak interfacial interaction with polymers. The existence of the interface can prevent the propagation of cracks and slow down stress concentration, so that the filler and the matrix form a whole and transfer stress. If the wettability between the matrix and the filler is not good, the interfacial adhesion strength is low, which will directly affect the performance of the composite material.

[0006] Therefore, how to modify halloysite to better apply it to composite materials, reduce agglomeration and effectively improve the mechanical properties of the composite material is one of the technical problems to be solved by the person skilled in the art. SUMMARY

[0032] The following specific embodiments are provided to further illustrate the present application, but the present application is not limited to the following embodiments.

[0033] The interface assembly technology is to combine different materials together by using chemical (positive and negative charge ion interaction, π-π and π=π) and physical interaction (van der Waals force and hydrogen bond interaction) between materials, form a new structure, and thus obtain better overall performance. The interface assembly technology has the advantages of simple and easy method, strong controllability, strong material stability and the like.

[0034] The present application simultaneously performs assembly modification on the inner and outer surfaces of halloysite by using the interface assembly technology and ion reaction, fully utilizes the inner cavity space of halloysite, and thus improves the compatibility and interface bonding capacity of halloysite and the polymer matrix, and further improves the mechanical properties, electromagnetic shielding performance and smoke suppression performance of the high polymer composite material. The modification of the inner cavity of halloysite is still the first time in the present application, and no literature report is found at present.

[0035] Figure 1a and Figure 1brespectively are structural schematic diagram and section chemical structure schematic diagram of interface assembly modified halloysite nanotube provided by the present application. Figure 1a and Figure 1b As shown in the present application, the interface assembly modified halloysite nanotube comprises: hollow halloysite nanotube 1, a layer of modified material 2 is loaded on the outer surface of the halloysite nanotube 1, and a layer of modified material 2 is also loaded on the inner cavity surface of the halloysite nanotube 1, wherein the modified material 2 is generated by reacting carbon-containing organic acid aqueous solution with amino compound and metal ion aqueous solution. Specifically, the modified material is a self-bottom-to-top formed lamellar structure carbon-containing organic acid-amino salt.

[0036] Since the halloysite has a nanotube hollow structure and the inner and outer surfaces have heterogeneous charges, the outer surface has negative charge and the inner cavity wall has positive charge, we can make the modifier grow on the inner and outer surfaces of the halloysite nanotube based on the interface assembly technology, and load a layer of modified material on the inner and outer surfaces, respectively. The specific modification process and reaction principle are as follows:

[0037] (1) The carbon-containing organic acid aqueous solution providing negative charge is used as the interface assembly precursor to load on the halloysite inner cavity wall.

[0038] (2) Halloysite outer surface assembly: first, a part of the positive charged amino compound and metal ion aqueous solution grows in situ on the outer surface of the halloysite; then, the free carbon-containing organic acid in the reaction solution assembles on the outer surface of the halloysite.

[0039] (3) Halloysite inner surface assembly: another part of the positive charged amino compound and metal ion aqueous solution reacts with the halloysite loaded with carbon-containing organic acid on the inner cavity wall in (1).

[0040] Based on the supramolecular self-assembly technology, the present application uses amino compound, carbon-containing organic acid and metal ion compound as raw materials, fully utilizes the non-covalent bond interaction between molecules such as hydrogen bond interaction, π-π interaction and electrostatic interaction, and forms the modified material with lamellar structure from bottom to top. The modified material is combined with the halloysite, and the modified material can be assembled on the surface of the halloysite nanotube as a mother plate to realize specific functions. Figure 2b is a transmission electron microscope image of the interface assembly modified halloysite nanotube prepared in one specific embodiment of the present application, from Figure 2b It can be seen that the prepared interface assembly modified halloysite nanotube still retains the original one-dimensional nanotube structure, and the chemical structure is as shown in Figure 1b .

[0041] Specifically, the present application provides a preparation method of the interface assembly modified halloysite nanotube, comprising:

[0042] (1) A certain amount of amino compound is mixed with metal ion aqueous solution uniformly to form a complex mixed solution a for standby use;

[0043] (2) mixing the halloysite nanotubes with a certain amount of aqueous solution of carbon-containing organic acid, stirring uniformly at room temperature of 15-30℃ to form a compound mixed solution b for standby;

[0044] (3) slowly adding the compound mixed solution a into the compound mixed solution b, stirring at room temperature of 15-30℃ for 5-20 minutes;

[0045] (4) after centrifugal washing, drying and grinding, the product is obtained.

[0046] Preferably, the amino compound is an organic compound with one or more than one amino group, such as melamine, nicotinamide, piperazine, diphenylamine, p-toluidine, triphenylamine and / or tertiary octylamine, etc.

[0047] The aqueous solution of metal ions is an aqueous solution of FeCl3·6H2O, CoCl2·6H2O, NiSO4·6H2O and / or CuCl2·2H2O, etc.

[0048] Generally, the amino compound, the metal ion compound and pure water are prepared into the compound mixed solution a according to the mass ratio of (1-2):1:(20-25).

[0049] The carbon-containing organic acid is an organic acid compound containing carbon elements, such as phytic acid, tannic acid, oxalic acid, azelaic acid, fumaric acid, citric acid, vanillic acid, coffee acid and / or itaconic acid, etc.

[0050] Generally, the halloysite, the carbon-containing organic acid and pure water are prepared into the compound mixed solution b according to the mass ratio of 1:(1-2):(6-7).

[0051] Generally, the mass ratio of the compound mixed solution a to the compound mixed solution b is (1-2):1.

[0052] In the above step 3, the stirring speed when the compound mixed solution a is added into the compound mixed solution b is generally 300-1000 r / min; the centrifugal washing and drying conditions are that the solid product is washed with pure water for 3-5 times under the centrifugal speed of 2000-3000 r / min for 1-2 min, and then dried at 100-120℃ until constant weight.

[0053] Further, the application also provides an interface-assembled modified halloysite-based nanocomposite material, which comprises the interface-assembled modified halloysite nanotubes and a polymer, wherein the interface-assembled modified halloysite nanotubes account for 2wt%-15wt% of the total weight of the composite material. The composite material is obtained by melt blending the interface-assembled modified halloysite nanotubes and the polymer in an internal mixer.

[0054] Preferably, the polymer is an impact-resistant engineering plastic, rubber or polyurethane, etc. The impact-resistant engineering plastic is polyethylene, polylactic acid, polypropylene or polyvinyl chloride, etc. The rubber is ethylene-propylene rubber or nitrile rubber, etc.

Figure 3b It can be seen that the interfacial assembly modified halloysite nanomaterial of the present application is in a hollow nanotube state under a microscope and can be uniformly dispersed in a polymer matrix, thus effectively improving the static mechanics, low-speed dynamic impact resistance and smoke suppression performance in a fire scenario of the polymer material.

[0056] The modifier used in the present application is an organic compound, which has a similar polarity to the high-molecular polymer matrix, thus improving the compatibility and dispersibility of the halloysite nanotube interface. The halloysite nanotube with excellent interface compatibility and dispersibility can effectively disperse impact / tension energy, thus improving the mechanical properties (both the breaking strength and the breaking elongation are significantly improved) and impact resistance of the composite material. The interfacial assembly modified halloysite of the present application has a special one-dimensional structure and metal conductive elements, and the polymer added with it thus has certain electromagnetic shielding performance. The modifier used is high in nitrogen element content and the one-dimensional nanomaterial has the characteristics of inhibiting heat transfer and material exchange, thus endowing the composite material with excellent flame retardation and smoke suppression performance, and the present application can be widely applied in the fields of aerospace, electronics and electrical appliances, etc.

[0057] The halloysite modification method of the present application is low in energy consumption, environmentally friendly, efficient, short in preparation time, high in yield, low in production cost, simple in operation, free of toxic and harmful reagents and volatile organic solvents, and can be used for industrial mass production and is easy to operate. The present application improves the dispersibility of the modified halloysite in the polymer matrix, thus the modified halloysite only needs a lower addition amount to obtain excellent mechanical properties of the composite material, such as the toughness, mechanical strength, breaking elongation and impact resistance of the composite material are all significantly improved, thus greatly improving the added value of the engineering plastic product, expanding the application range thereof, and having a wide market prospect and significant social benefits.
