Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of polypropylene materials, and more specifically, to a thermally conductive polypropylene sheet, a thermally conductive polypropylene fabric, a high-strength thermally conductive polypropylene composite material, and their preparation methods and applications. Background Technology
[0002] With the miniaturization, miniaturization, and multifunctionality of electronic products, the integration level of electronic components is increasing, and the requirements for their heat dissipation performance are also becoming more stringent. However, the poor thermal conductivity of commonly used polymer materials in electronic components can no longer meet the needs of further development of electronic products.
[0003] Polypropylene (PP) resin has a low density (0.89–0.91 g / cm³). 3 Its excellent heat resistance, rigidity, and hardness make it suitable for a wide range of applications.
[0004] Self-reinforced polymer composites consist of a matrix and a reinforcing phase composed of different forms of the same polymer. The reinforcing phase is typically highly oriented fibers or ribbons. Most self-reinforced polymer composites are prepared using hot-pressing methods. When the reinforcing phase is hot-pressed under certain pressure and temperature, the surface of the reinforcing phase fibers melts to become the matrix melt. The matrix melt and the surface of the reinforcing phase co-crystallize during melting, thus providing sufficient interfacial bonding strength. For example, in US6312638B1, melt-spun oriented polyolefin fibers are hot-pressed, using specific temperature and pressure to partially melt and bond the polyolefin surface layer to prepare a polyolefin board. This preparation method is not only sensitive to the temperature of hot pressing, but also results in significant deorientation of the oriented fibers after hot pressing, leading to a significant decrease in mechanical strength.
[0005] To broaden the hot-pressing window and reduce the hot-pressing pressure, polyolefins with different melting points can be hot-pressed. For example, US8133537B2 describes the hot-pressing of three layers of polyolefin fibers with different melting points to obtain a polyolefin composite material, wherein the melting temperature of the first and second polyolefin layers is lower than that of the core layer. However, the impact strength and interlaminar peel strength of hot-pressed composite materials produced by this method are relatively low.
[0006] To enhance the thermal conductivity of polypropylene (PP), Chinese invention patent CN107090129B discloses a mesophase pitch-based graphite fiber / polypropylene composite material and its preparation method. This method uses a twin-screw extruder for melt blending, employing mesophase pitch-based graphite fiber, boron nitride, and magnesium hydroxide as thermally conductive fillers to obtain the mesophase pitch-based graphite fiber / polypropylene composite material. Chinese invention patent CN104277323B discloses a thermally conductive and impact-resistant polypropylene / polyester composite material and its preparation method. This method uses a twin-screw extruder for melt blending, utilizing metal powder and boron carbide powder as thermally conductive fillers to obtain the polypropylene / polyester composite material. Chinese invention patent CN108948417B discloses a compounded thermally conductive powder, a polypropylene composite material, its preparation method, and its application. This method uses melt extrusion granulation, employing aluminum hydroxide, alumina, magnesium oxide, magnesium hydroxide, and zinc oxide as compounded thermally conductive powders to obtain the polypropylene composite material.
[0007] The aforementioned patents each have their own significant shortcomings. The resulting thermally conductive polypropylene composite materials have poor mechanical properties, limiting their processing and application scenarios and making them unsuitable for applications such as thin plates, films, and fabrics. CN107090129B and CN104277323B use highly conductive graphite fibers and metal powder as fillers, respectively, which improves the conductivity of the composite material but makes it unsuitable for electronic components requiring insulation. CN108948417B has a low proportion of composite thermally conductive powder, resulting in poor thermal conductivity of the composite material, which cannot meet the requirements of high thermal conductivity applications. Summary of the Invention

[0016] According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the melting point of homopolymer polypropylene a in polypropylene composition A is greater than the melting point of random copolymer polypropylene x in polypropylene composition B and polypropylene composition B', preferably with a temperature difference of 10°C or greater. In this preferred embodiment, the inventors of the present invention have surprisingly discovered that the resulting polypropylene sheet, after hot pressing, yields a polypropylene composite material with superior mechanical properties and better interlaminar peel strength. Even at lower hot pressing temperatures and over a wider hot pressing temperature range, the resulting polypropylene composite material exhibits higher interlaminar peel strength.
[0017] According to the present invention, the melting point of the polypropylene composition A is greater than that of the polypropylene composition B and the polypropylene composition B'.

Simultaneously, because the macromolecular chain segments in homopolymer polypropylene a are relatively regular, crystallization occurs during the sheet preparation process, thus the sheet also has good tensile properties.

[0034] According to the inventors' research, when the melt flow rate and polymer composition ratio of polypropylene composition B are within the preferred range, the low melting point random copolymer polypropylene x and the heat-bonding reinforcing agent y in the composition can significantly reduce the hot-pressing temperature and widen the hot-pressing temperature window. Furthermore, the heat-bonding reinforcing agent y provides good adhesion performance for the sheet and can further improve the interlayer peel strength.

[0288] Experimental Example
[0289] The thermally conductive polypropylene composite materials obtained in the above examples and comparative examples were tested according to the following methods, and the test results are shown in Table 1.
[0290] (1) Tensile strength: Samples were prepared and tested according to the methods specified in GB / T1040.1-2018;
[0291] (2) Interlayer peel strength: Samples were prepared and measured in accordance with the method specified in QB / T2358-98.
[0292] (3) Drop hammer impact strength: The test shall be conducted in accordance with the method specified in GB / T14153-1993.
[0293] (4) Thermal conductivity: The thermal conductivity was measured according to the method specified in GB / T 10297-2015. Among them, the thickness of the polypropylene composite materials obtained in Examples 3-10 and Comparative Examples 1-5 were all similar, around 1.7 mm, and all within the range of 1.7 mm ± 0.1 mm.
[0294] Table 1
[0295]
[0296] The results from the examples in Table 1 show that the thermally conductive polypropylene composite material prepared according to the present invention possesses excellent tensile properties, impact resistance, and thermal conductivity, while also exhibiting good interlaminar peel strength at relatively low hot-pressing temperatures. The thermally conductive polypropylene composite sheet of the present invention has a longitudinal (MD) tensile strength ≥120 MPa, an interlaminar peel strength ≥1 N / mm, and a thermal conductivity ≥0.5 W / m. -1 K -1 When the thermally conductive polypropylene composite material is made of 24 layers of thermally conductive polypropylene fabric hot-pressed together with a thickness of about 1.7 mm, the drop hammer impact strength is ≥200 J.
[0297] As can be seen from preferred embodiments 2, 3, 6, 9, and 10, the thermally conductive polypropylene composite material prepared by the present invention has a longitudinal (MD) tensile strength ≥130 MPa, an interlaminar peel strength ≥1.2 N / mm, and a thermal conductivity ≥0.9 W / m. -1 K -1 When the thermally conductive polypropylene composite material is made of 24 layers of thermally conductive polypropylene fabric hot-pressed together with a thickness of about 1.7 mm, the drop hammer impact strength is ≥200 J.
[0298] As can be seen from Comparative Examples 1-6, using only a single-layer sheet structure or using interlayer ratios outside the scope of the examples will lead to a decrease in the performance of the laminated polypropylene sheets or fabrics. Using process conditions outside the scope of the examples will significantly reduce the tensile strength, impact properties, interlayer peel strength, or thermal conductivity of the resulting polypropylene composite material.
[0299] A comparison of Example 1 and Comparative Example 6 shows that, compared with conventional non-gradient melting point polypropylene composites, the polypropylene composites of the present invention with a melting point gradient structure exhibit higher tensile strength, impact properties, and interlaminar peel strength. Compared with conventional non-gradient melting point polypropylene composites, the polypropylene composites of the present invention with a melting point gradient structure require shorter hot-pressing times or lower hot-pressing temperatures during processing. It is believed that reducing the hot-pressing time or temperature can reduce the damage to mechanical properties caused by molecular chain disorientation. Furthermore, reducing the hot-pressing time or temperature can also achieve the beneficial effect of cost reduction and efficiency improvement.
