Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of high polymer composites, more particularly to a halogen-free flame-retardant glass fiber reinforced polyglycolic acid composite material, a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the aggravation of environmental pollution, developing biobased degradable materials has become one of the current research hotspots. Polyglycolic acid (PGA) is a new type of degradable material. Compared with traditional degradable plastics such as PLA, PBST and PHA, PGA has a faster degradation rate, and the final degradation product is H2O and CO2, which can minimize environmental pollution. The mechanical strength of PGA is comparable to that of engineering plastic PEEK, and the oxygen permeability is better than that of EVOH material, and PGA has potential application value in the fields of agricultural production, catering packaging, oil field exploitation and tissue engineering. However, PGA material is a brittle material with low impact strength, and is easily flammable with a large amount of flaming molten droplets, which needs to be solved in the wide application of PGA.

[0003] Glass fiber has excellent insulation, heat resistance, corrosion resistance and mechanical strength, and is often used to reinforce polymer materials to improve the comprehensive performance and application field of the materials. Patent (CN110682520B) discloses a preparation method of glass fiber reinforced thermoplastic resin composite material, which improves the retention length and distribution uniformity of glass fiber in the resin by selecting a high aspect ratio screw and using special screw shearing elements to control, thereby improving the strength and modulus of the composite material. Patent (CN111019315B) discloses a glass fiber reinforced PC material and a preparation method and use thereof. The author promotes the dispersion of glass fiber in the PC matrix by modifying the glass fiber and adding a compatibilizer to prepare a PC composite material with high strength and high toughness, but when the modified glass fiber filling amount exceeds 50 phr, the elongation at break and notched impact strength of the composite material are obviously reduced. Blending and extruding glass fiber and polymer is a conventional method for preparing glass fiber reinforced composite materials, but this method has problems such as floating fiber, uneven dispersion, reduced melt flowability, and low glass fiber loading, which need to be solved. In addition, polymer materials are extremely flammable, especially for glass fiber reinforced polymer materials, which have a "candle core effect" during combustion, further exacerbating the fire hazard of the composite material. Therefore, glass fiber reinforced composite materials urgently need to be flame-retardant modified.

[0004] Phosphorus-nitrogen type flame retardants have the advantages of high efficiency, environmental protection, etc., and are widely used in flame-retardant polymer materials. Patent (CN106398137B) discloses a halogen-free flame-retardant long glass fiber reinforced PET composite material and a preparation method thereof. The author melt blends halogen-free flame retardant DIDOPO and triazine charring agent with PET, and then continuously impregnates the mixed melt with long glass fiber to prepare a flame-retardant glass fiber reinforced PET composite material. Patent (CN113150527A) reports a high-weather-resistant glass fiber reinforced flame-retardant PC material and a preparation method thereof. By adding 2-10 parts of nitrogen-containing flame retardant, phosphorus-containing flame retardant and organic sulfonate flame retardant, the flame-retardant property of the glass fiber reinforced PC composite material is ensured. However, the existing technology has not studied the modification of PGA by phosphorus-nitrogen type flame retardant.

[0005] It is of great significance to apply glass fiber and phosphorus-nitrogen type flame retardant to the modification of PGA, improve the dispersion uniformity of glass fiber and flame retardant, and develop a new type of high-efficiency flame-retardant PGA composite material with excellent impact resistance.

[0109] According to some embodiments of the present application, the composite material is in the form of a strip, a rod or a particle.

[0110] In the present application, the strip, rod or particle-shaped halogen-free flame-retardant glass fiber reinforced polyglycolic acid composite material can be cut from a continuous filament halogen-free flame-retardant glass fiber reinforced polyglycolic acid composite material.

The process conditions for the pulling-out, stretching, cooling, drying and granulating treatment are not particularly limited, and a person skilled in the art can adjust them according to the specific performance requirements of the prepared halogen-free flame-retardant glass fiber reinforced polyglycolic acid composite material.

[0124] According to some embodiments of the present application, the first impregnation process in step S2 can be performed in a first impregnation die, which is an adjustable impregnation die, the first impregnation die comprising a fiber inlet, a fiber outlet and a melt runner, at least one first godet being arranged in a die cavity of the first impregnation die; the first godet being movable between the fiber inlet and the fiber outlet; and / or, the first godet being movable in a direction perpendicular to a line connecting the fiber inlet and the fiber outlet.

[0125] According to some embodiments of the present application, the first impregnation process in step S2 can be performed in a second impregnation die, which is a combined impregnation die, the second impregnation die comprising a first module, an intermediate module and a second module connected in sequence, the first module being provided with a fiber inlet and a first module runner, the second module being provided with a fiber outlet and a second module runner, the intermediate module being provided with an intermediate module runner; after the first module, the intermediate module and the second module are connected in sequence, the first module runner, the intermediate module runner and the second module runner are connected in communication to form a combined runner for the fibers to pass through.

[0126] According to some embodiments of the present application, the first impregnation process in step S2 can also be performed in a third impregnation die, which is a strong turbulent impregnation die, the third impregnation die comprising a fiber inlet channel, an impregnation outlet and a melt slit runner, the fiber inlet channel, the impregnation outlet and the melt slit runner all being connected in communication with a die cavity inside the third impregnation die; wherein the die cavity of the third impregnation die is provided with a second godet, the second godet comprising at least one driven godet, the driven godet being driven to rotate by a driving device.

[0127] The first impregnation die, the second impregnation die and the third impregnation die used in the present application are described in Chinese patent applications CN202011193483.3, 202011191450.5 and 202011199839.4, which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.

[0128] It should be noted that the first impregnation die, the second impregnation die and the third impregnation die described above can be applied to any existing manufacturing system and preparation technology of halogen-free flame-retardant glass fiber reinforced polyglycolic acid composite materials.

[0129] According to some embodiments of the preparation method of the present application, the second impregnation treatment in step S4 can be performed in a forming mold. The forming mold is composed of a core, an outer sleeve, and an outer sleeve die plate. The core is located inside the outer sleeve to form a cavity with the outer sleeve, and the resin melt can enter the cavity from the bottom or top or both sides of the outer sleeve. The core can move forward and backward in the outer sleeve to adjust the size of the cavity formed to determine the pressure of the melt in the cavity. The pressure of the melt in the cavity can also be adjusted by the angle between the core and the outer sleeve. The working principle of the forming mold is as follows: the strip formed after impregnation in the impregnation mold is guided to pass through the hole in the middle of the core, and then the inner and outer layer material composite structure is formed in the cavity formed by the core and the outer sleeve filled with mixed melt, and finally it is guided out through the outer sleeve die plate.

[0130] The present application will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0131] Figure 1 The structure of the halogen-free flame-retardant glass fiber reinforced polyglycolic acid composite material of the present application is shown. As shown in Figure 1 , the cross section of the halogen-free flame-retardant glass fiber reinforced polyglycolic acid composite material of the present application is circular, and sequentially includes an inner core material 0-1 and an outer layer material 0-3 from inside to outside, the inner core material 0-1 has fiber bundles 0-2 oriented in the longitudinal direction distributed therein, and the fiber bundles 0-2 are uniformly dispersed in the inner core material 0-1.

[0132] As shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the manufacturing system of the present application includes a fiber rack and fiber guiding device 1, a fiber pretreatment device 2, a first impregnation mold 3, a melt plasticizing feeding device 4, a forming mold 5, a cooling water tank 6, a drying machine 7, a traction machine 8, a granulator 9, a collection box 10, and an electric control system (not shown in the figure) connected in sequence.

[0133] In the manufacturing system, the forming mold 5 is used for the forming of the halogen-free flame-retardant glass fiber reinforced polyglycolic acid composite material, and its structure is shown in Figure 8 .

[0134] In the manufacturing system, the first impregnation mold 3 is used for the impregnation of the fiber and the first polyglycolic acid resin melt.

[0135] As shown in Figure 4As shown, in one embodiment, the first impregnation die is an adjustable godet position impregnation device, which includes a first impregnation die head A300, the first impregnation die head A300 includes an impregnation die body A7, a fiber inlet A1, a fiber outlet A6, and a melt flow channel A3. At least one first godet A8 is arranged in the die cavity, wherein the first godet A8 is movable between the fiber inlet A1 and the fiber outlet A6, or the first godet A8 is movable in a direction perpendicular to the line connecting the fiber inlet A1 and the fiber outlet A6, or the first godet A8 is movable both between the fiber inlet A1 and the fiber outlet A6 and in a direction perpendicular to the line connecting the fiber inlet A1 and the fiber outlet A6.

[0136] Taking a rectangular first impregnation die head A300 as an example, a plurality of first godets A8 are arranged in the first impregnation die head A300, and the axial direction of each first godet A8 is the width direction of the first impregnation die head A300. Therefore, each first godet A8 is movable in the length direction of the first impregnation die head A300 and is also movable in the height direction, so as to change the position of the first godet A8 in the first impregnation die head A300.

[0137] It can be understood that the axial direction of the first godet A8 can also be the length direction of the first impregnation die head A300. At this time, each first godet A8 is movable in the width direction of the first impregnation die head A300 and is also movable in the height direction of the first impregnation die head A300, so as to change the position of the first godet A8 in the first impregnation die head A300.

[0138] Since the fiber needs to pass around the first godet A8 in the die cavity when walking in the die cavity of the first impregnation die head A300, by changing the position (horizontal position, longitudinal position, etc.) of the first godet A8 in the first impregnation die head A300, the walking path of the fiber in the die cavity can be changed. Therefore, when the required impregnation condition of the fiber changes, it is not necessary to replace a new die, but only to adjust the position of the first godet A8 in the first impregnation die head A300, thereby improving the production efficiency and the continuity of production. At the same time, the number of first impregnation die heads A300 can be reduced, and the production cost can be saved.

[0139] Specifically, the present application is to adjust the position of the first godet A8 by slotting the inner wall of the die cavity of the first impregnation die head A300.

[0140] A first sliding groove A4 is arranged on the first inner wall of the first impregnation die head A300, and the first sliding groove A4 extends between the fiber inlet A1 and the fiber outlet A6 (i.e. Figure 4As shown in the Y-axis direction), the first godet roll A8 moves along the second runner A2 to change its vertical position in the die head.

[0141] Further, the first inner wall of the first impregnation die head A300 is also provided with a second runner A2 extending in a direction perpendicular to the first runner A4 (i.e. Figure 4 As shown in the Y-axis direction), the first godet roll A8 moves along the second runner A2 to change its vertical position in the die head.

[0142] It should be noted that the first runner A4 and the second runner A2 can be connected. Thus, the first godet roll A8 can be arbitrarily moved in the longitudinal direction or the transverse direction, so that its position is changed.

[0143] The cross section of the first runner A4 and the second runner A2 can be trapezoidal, circular, arc-shaped or rectangular, and the present application does not limit it.

[0144] The two ends of the first godet roll A8 are provided with adjusting devices (not shown in the figure), which are used to adjust the axial length of the first godet roll A8. The minimum axial length of the first godet roll A8 is less than the distance between the first inner wall and the second inner wall, and the maximum axial length of the first godet roll A8 is greater than the distance between the first inner wall and the second inner wall.

[0145] As Figure 5 As shown in another embodiment of the present application, the second impregnation die is a combined impregnation die, which includes a second impregnation die head B300. The second impregnation die head B300 includes a first module B3, an intermediate module B6 and a second module B7 connected in sequence. The first module B3 is provided with a fiber inlet B1 and a first module flow channel B31, the second module B7 is provided with a fiber outlet B8 and a second module flow channel B71, and the intermediate module B6 is provided with an intermediate module flow channel B61.

[0146] After the first module B3, the intermediate module B6 and the second module B7 are connected in sequence, the first module flow channel B31, the intermediate module flow channel B61 and the second module flow channel B71 are connected to form a combined flow channel B4 for the fiber to pass through. The number of intermediate modules B6 is at least one. That is, the first module B3 is the first module, the second module B7 is the last module, and there is one or more intermediate modules B6 between them. It should be noted that these intermediate modules B6 are also connected in sequence.

[0147] That is, the number of intermediate modules B6 can be increased or decreased as required, so that different intermediate modules B6 are combined to form the combined second impregnation die B300 when the impregnation requirements change, thereby improving the continuity and efficiency of production and saving the cost of additional die opening.

[0148] Furthermore, by selecting different intermediate modules B6, the shape parameters (such as curvature, etc.) of the combined flow channel B4 formed can be changed, so that the flow path of the fiber and the melt can be changed, the fiber impregnation angle and fiber tension in different stations of the die can be changed, the entire fiber impregnation process can be adjusted and optimized, and the adaptability of the second impregnation die B300 to polyglycolic acid resin and fiber is improved.

[0149] The first module B3, the intermediate module B6 and the second module B7 are placed in the die holder, and the constraint action of the die holder makes them in close contact with each other, so as to ensure the sealing of the combined flow channel B4.

[0150] As shown in Figure 5 , an embodiment with 2 intermediate modules B6 is shown. In the embodiment shown in Figure 5 , the downstream end of the first module flow channel B31 is connected to the upstream end of one of the intermediate module flow channels B61, the two intermediate module flow channels B61 are connected to each other, and the downstream end of the other intermediate module flow channel B61 is connected to the upstream end of the second intermediate module flow channel B71, thereby forming a combined flow channel B4 extending from the fiber inlet B1 to the fiber outlet B8.

[0151] It can be understood that by selecting different intermediate modules B6, different combined flow channels B4 can be obtained.

[0152] As shown in Figure 5 , the downstream end of the first module flow channel B31, the upstream end of the second module flow channel B71 and the two ends of the intermediate module flow channel B61 are located in the same plane and are provided with standardized joints B5. In other words, the connection between the first module flow channel B31, the intermediate module flow channel B61 and the second module B71 is connected by the standardized joints B5. Since the standardized joints B5 are located in the same plane, and the shape and size of the standardized joints B5 are the same, the combination and connection between different modules are facilitated.

[0153] As shown in Figure 6As shown, in still another embodiment of the present application, the third impregnation die is a strong turbulent impregnation die, which comprises a third impregnation die head C300, the third impregnation die head C300 comprises an impregnation die outer body C2, the impregnation die outer body C2 is provided with a fiber inlet channel C3, an impregnation outlet C6 and a melt slit runner C1, the fiber inlet channel C3, the impregnation outlet C6 and the melt slit runner C1 are all connected with the die cavity inside the impregnation die outer body C2.

[0154] The die cavity of the impregnation die outer body C2 is provided with a second godet, the second godet comprises at least one driving godet C4, the driving godet C4 is driven to rotate by a driving device (not shown in the figure). Since the rotation of the driving godet C4 is driven by the driving device, rather than being driven by the traction of the fiber, when the fiber passes through the driving godet C4, the driving godet C4 driven to rotate helps to reduce the traction tension of the fiber and the friction between the fiber and the driving godet C4, thereby reducing the breaking amount of the fiber, ensuring the integrity of the fiber, avoiding the fiber being pulled off, and thus improving the mechanical properties of the material.

[0155] Preferably, the second godet further comprises at least one driven godet C5, the driven godet C5 is driven by the fiber passing through the driving godet C4; or the driven godet C5 is connected with the driving godet C4 through a belt mechanism, a gear mechanism or a chain mechanism.

[0156] As shown in the figure, Figure 6 An example with one driving godet C4 and two driven godets C5 is shown, wherein the two driven godets C5 are arranged one above the other to extend the impregnation path of the fiber passing therethrough. The heights of the driving godet C4 and the driven godets C5 in the die cavity can be the same or different.

[0157] Further, the driving device can be a motor, a hydraulic mechanism or a reduction box, etc. which can drive the driving godet C4 to rotate.

[0158] According to the running speed v1 of the fiber entering the die cavity of the impregnation die outer body C2, the corresponding tangential speed v2 of the driving godet C4 can be selected, for example, the tangential speed v2 of the driving godet C4 is the same as the running speed v1 of the fiber, i.e. v1=v2, so as to achieve the purpose of reducing the breaking and wear of the fiber, thus ensuring the integrity of the fiber and promoting the impregnation degree of the fiber, shortening the impregnation time and improving the production efficiency.

[0159] As shown in the figure, Figure 2As shown, the melt plasticizing feeding device 4 consists of a twin-screw extruder used for melting and plasticizing materials. The twin-screw extruder is a co-rotating twin-screw extruder with a screw diameter of 25mm-95mm and a length-to-diameter ratio of 36:1-65:1. When the melt plasticizing feeding device 4 consists of a single extruder 4, the melt plasticizing material in the extruder is divided by a melt distributor and fed into the impregnation die and the forming die respectively, and the flow rate of each die is controlled by a melt flow control valve.

[0160] like Figure 3 As shown, when the melt plasticizing feeding device 4 consists of two extruders 4-1 and 4-2, the molten plasticized melts from extruder I 4-1 and extruder II 4-2 are respectively fed into the impregnation mold and the forming mold. In this embodiment, the melt plasticizing feeding device consists of two extruders I 4-1 and extruder II 4-2, and the molten plasticized melts from extruder I 4-1 and extruder II 4-2 are respectively fed into the first impregnation mold 3 and the forming mold 5. Extruder I 4-1 and extruder II 4-2 can be fed with the same or different materials, thus enabling the preparation of composite materials with the same or different materials for the inner and outer layers.

[0161] The fiber pretreatment device 2 consists of a tension roller and a hot drying tunnel. This combination allows for some release of tension on the fibers as they enter the hot drying tunnel, thus accommodating fibers of different strengths and preventing fibers with lower strength from breaking before entering the impregnation die. The surface of the tension roller in the fiber pretreatment device 2 needs to be ceramic-coated to increase surface roughness and reduce friction on the fibers.

[0162] In the manufacturing system, the fiber frame and fiber guiding device 1 are used for fiber output and untwisting. The device is equipped with an automatic control untwisting device, which is linked with the traction machine 8 and electrically connected to the electrical control system (such as a PLC control device).

[0163] In the manufacturing system, the cooling water tank 6, dryer 7, traction machine 8, pelletizer 9, and collection box 10 are conventional equipment or devices known to those skilled in the art, and will not be described in detail here.

[0164] Figure 7 A schematic diagram showing the second impregnation process using a molding die is shown. Figure 8 A cross-sectional view of the molding die used in the second impregnation process is shown.

[0165] like Figure 8As shown, in one embodiment, the forming mold 5 is composed of a core 5-1, an outer sleeve 5-2, and an outer sleeve die plate 5-3. The core 5-1 is located inside the outer sleeve 5-2, and forms a cavity with the outer sleeve 5-2, and the resin melt can enter the cavity from the bottom or top or both sides of the outer sleeve 5-2. The core 5-1 can move forward and backward in the outer sleeve 5-2, and the pressure of the melt in the cavity can be adjusted by adjusting the size of the cavity formed. The pressure of the melt in the cavity can also be adjusted by the angle between the core 5-1 and the outer sleeve 5-2. The working principle of the forming mold 5 is as follows: the rod formed after the impregnation mold 3 impregnates the inner layer impregnated material, is guided to pass through the hole in the middle of the core 5-1, and then realizes the forming of the inner and outer layer material composite structure in the cavity formed by the core 5-1 and the outer sleeve 5-2 filled with the mixed melt, and finally is guided out through the outer sleeve die plate 5-3.

[0166] As shown in Figure 7 , the rod 5-4 enters the cavity formed by the core (not shown) and the outer sleeve 5-2 filled with the second component melt, wherein the second component melt is fed into the cavity from the second resin inlet 5-5.

[0167] In the following examples and comparative examples, the manufacturing system shown in Figure 3 is used to prepare halogen-free flame-retardant glass fiber reinforced polyglycolic acid composites, wherein the first impregnation treatment uses the first impregnation mold shown in Figure 4 , and the second impregnation treatment uses the forming mold shown in Figure 8 .

[0237] Table 1 Test results of material sample of examples and comparative examples

[0238]

[0239]

[0240] As can be seen from Example 1 and Comparative Example 1, the addition of the composite flame retardant aid endows the PGA composite material with better flame retardant performance, and the LOI is increased from 18.2% to 28.3%, and the vertical burning test reaches the V-0 level, but the mechanical properties of the composite material are reduced to some extent.

[0241] As can be seen from Example 1 and Example 2, the epoxidized elastomer is more beneficial to the mechanical properties of the composite material than the unepoxidized elastomer, because the epoxy group can react with the terminal hydroxyl and terminal carboxyl of the polyglycolic acid, has a certain chain extension effect, and weakens the deterioration of the mechanical properties of the composite material caused by heat processing.

[0242] From Example 1 and Comparative Example 2, it can be seen that adding the flame-retardant component in the form of a composite flame-retardant aid facilitates uniform dispersion of the flame-retardant aid and improves the flame-retardant properties of the composite material.

[0243] From Example 1 and Comparative Example 3, it can be seen that the processing method of impregnating continuous glass fibers can form a core-shell structure, the high content of glass fibers in the core layer is used to improve the mechanical properties of the PGA composite material, and the high content of flame retardant in the shell layer material is used to improve the flame-retardant properties of the PGA composite material, and the obtained PGA composite material has excellent mechanical properties and flame-retardant properties.

[0244] From Example 1 and Comparative Examples 4 and 5, it can be seen that the spatial distribution of the composite flame-retardant aid in the composite material has a significant effect on its flame-retardant properties. In the case of the same addition amount, adding the composite flame-retardant aid only in the inner layer or simultaneously adding it in the inner and outer layers is not conducive to the stable formation of the first melt-impregnated fibers, reduces the mechanical properties of the composite material, and simultaneously lacks or reduces the protection of the outer layer material by the flame-retardant layer, weakening the flame-retardant properties of the composite material.

[0245] From Comparative Examples 1-6, it can be seen that the composite flame-retardant aids CFR-1 and CFR-2 used in the present application both achieve good flame-retardant effects in the PGA matrix. The processing method of impregnating continuous glass fibers can achieve a high glass fiber addition amount, and a high glass fiber addition amount is conducive to improving the mechanical properties of the composite material, but the glass fiber reinforced composite material has a "wick effect" during combustion, which has a certain negative impact on the flame-retardant properties of the composite material.

[0246] It should be noted that the above-described examples are only used to explain the present application and do not constitute any limitation on the present application. The present application has been described by referring to typical examples, but it should be understood that the words used therein are descriptive and explanatory words, rather than limiting words.
