Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of plastic modification, specifically relating to a long afterglow luminescent pavement material and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] With the increasing burden of urban and rural traffic, addressing lighting factors that affect road safety, such as how to deal with traffic safety hazards caused by sudden power outages in tunnels, and improving nighttime driving safety on rural roads are urgent issues that need to be resolved. Self-luminous pavement can continuously emit light for several hours at night, thus meeting the needs of highway lighting and increasing the harmony between the road and its surrounding environment. The practice of luminous pavement can not only provide illumination for main roads but also make roads safer and more efficient; luminous pavement can reduce carbon emissions; compared to the previous complete darkness of roads at night, luminous pavement can improve the visibility of nighttime travelers; luminous pavement is not only practical but also highly aesthetically pleasing, adding to the urban nightscape. In recent years, with the increase in traffic in various regions, traffic safety problems caused by lighting issues have become frequent. Road lighting needs new methods to improve its effectiveness. Existing self-luminous pavement materials have problems such as low luminous intensity, short luminous time, poor water resistance, short lifespan, low pavement strength, uneven luminous brightness, and difficulty in practical application. Summary of the Invention
[0003] To address the above problems, the present invention aims to provide a long afterglow luminescent pavement material and its preparation method.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of the present invention is as follows:
[0005] A long-afterglow luminescent pavement material, by weight, is obtained by co-extrusion of 15-30 parts modified luminescent masterbatch A, 45-150 parts rigid resin particles B, 3-6 parts unsaturated monomer, 0.2-0.5 parts initiator and 0.2-0.4 parts antioxidant through a twin-screw extruder; wherein, by weight, modified luminescent masterbatch A contains 20-40 parts luminescent powder, 0.01-0.03 parts surface modifier for stirring and wetting, 4-12 parts compatibilizer and 0.5-2 parts dispersant.
[0006] The modified luminescent masterbatch A is prepared by mixing the components in a screw-driven kneader according to the above proportions, and then extruding, crushing and granulating them by screw extrusion.
[0007] The luminescent powder is a lanthanide rare earth ion-doped aluminate or silicate with a fineness of 100-500 mesh.
[0008] The surface modifier is silane coupling agent KH550 and / or titanate 101; wherein, the surface modifier improves the water resistance of the luminescent powder, avoids hydrolysis under long-term outdoor conditions, and improves the compatibility and bonding strength with the resin.
[0009] The compatibilizer is at least one of maleic anhydride-grafted polypropylene (PP-g-MAH), acrylic acid-grafted polypropylene (PP-g-AA), and glycidyl methacrylate melt-grafted polypropylene (PP-g-GMA); the above compatibilizer improves the compatibility of the resin with asphalt and powder, and enhances the uniformity and adhesion of the modified resin.
[0010] The dispersant is a hyperbranched polyester and / or erucamide.
[0011] The luminescent powder has the composition SrAl2O4∶Eu 2+ Dy 3+ BaMgAl 10 O 17 Eu 2+ La 3+ or CaTiO3∶Pr 3+ Er 3 + .
[0012] The rigid resin particles B are prepared by co-extrusion using a twin-screw extruder after uniformly mixing 100-200 parts of transparent resin, 4-10 parts of tackifying resin, and 3-8 parts of rigid particles by weight.
[0013] The transparent resin is at least one of polystyrene PS, in-situ toughened polystyrene HIPS, polycarbonate PC, polyethylene terephthalate PET, polyacrylonitrile AS, and transparent nylon TR55; the selected transparent resin is required to have high transparency, good light energy transmission, and be suitable for light transmission inside; and also have high strength and hardness.
[0014] The tackifying resin is (C5, C9) hydrogenated petroleum resin and / or indene resin; the selected tackifying resin improves the homogeneity between the components and increases the adhesion between the luminescent resin particles and the asphalt overlay layer.
[0015] The rigid particles are at least one of 80-200 mesh glass microspheres, silicon carbide, silicon nitride, quartz powder, and corundum powder.
[0016] The unsaturated monomer is at least one of bisphenol A glycerol dimethacrylate, trimethylolpropane triacrylate (TMPTA), hexanediol diacrylate (HDDA), glyceryl triacrylate (OTA), and triallyl isocyanurate (TAIC). Since the density of the luminescent powder is around 3.6 and its specific gravity is high, the grafting and crosslinking of the unsaturated monomer improves the melt strength of the material, reduces uneven sedimentation of inorganic powder during processing, and significantly improves the strength, hardness, wear resistance, and anti-slip properties of the resin, avoiding powdering and peeling of the cover layer.
[0017] The initiator is at least one of bis(tert-butylperoxyisopropylbenzene) (BIPB) and di(diisopropylbenzene) peroxide (DCP).
[0018] The preparation method of long afterglow luminescent pavement material involves mixing luminescent masterbatch A, rigid composite particles B, unsaturated monomers, initiators, and antioxidants evenly according to the above proportions, and then extruding them through a twin-screw extruder at an extrusion temperature of 190-210℃ and a screw speed of 120-200 r / min. After extrusion, the material is granulated to obtain long afterglow luminescent pavement particles.
[0019] By designing the die size of a twin-screw extruder, long afterglow luminescent road surface particles of different shapes and sizes (4-9mm) are granulated. The particle size of the luminescent resin should be less than 9mm to ensure the anti-skid performance of the road surface.
[0020] The obtained long-afterglow luminescent particles are evenly spread on the surface during the construction of the overlay layer, and the long-afterglow luminescent pavement is obtained by compaction with a road roller using the residual heat of the overlay layer.
[0021] The synergistic effect of the components in this invention avoids problems such as low load-bearing capacity of luminescent pavement materials, easy delamination, collapse and other defects, and short pavement life.
[0022] Advantages of this invention:
[0023] Lanthanide rare-earth ion-doped aluminate or silicate rare-earth element luminescent materials are known for their stable performance, high brightness, ultra-long afterglow time, and absence of any radioactive elements, earning them the title of green and energy-saving materials. However, these materials have poor moisture resistance and are easily hydrolyzed in the presence of water, significantly reducing their brightness and afterglow time. This invention improves the water resistance of the luminescent powder by surface modification, thus maintaining its high brightness and ultra-long afterglow characteristics.
[0024] It is made by combining high-strength, high-rigidity transparent resin with transparent elastic tackifying resin, and adding rigid particles such as silicon nitride and corundum to achieve functions such as high transparency, wear resistance, anti-slip, and a combination of rigidity and toughness.
[0025] The synergistic effect of the components of the material in this invention enables the luminescent pavement material to have long afterglow, high strength, wear resistance, anti-slip properties, and easy construction. Furthermore, it avoids problems such as low load-bearing capacity, easy delamination, collapse, and short pavement life of luminescent pavement materials. Detailed Implementation
