Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of polypropylene foam materials, and in particular to a radiation grafted polypropylene high heat insulation foam material and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Foam plastics are formed by a large number of gas micropores dispersed in solid plastics. They have the properties of light weight, heat insulation and shock absorption. They are widely used in many fields such as construction, furniture, automobiles, aerospace, etc. The market demand for polymer foam materials is growing at an annual rate of more than 10%. China's polymer foaming industry has also developed rapidly since the 1990s. It is mainly divided into three categories: polystyrene (PS), polyurethane (PU) and polyolefins (such as polyethylene PE, polypropylene PP, polyvinyl chloride PVC). However, polystyrene (PS) foam plastic products are difficult to degrade and recycle, causing "white pollution" to the environment. The United Nations Environmental Protection Organization decided to stop the production and use of foamed polystyrene worldwide in 2005. Polyurethane (PU) foam materials have residual isocyanates that are harmful to the human body during the foaming process and cannot be recycled. In recent years, with the enhancement of environmental awareness, people have been constantly exploring new environmentally friendly materials. It is a new challenge for us to continuously develop new environmentally friendly materials and optimize the production process of existing materials to improve the performance of foam plastics, reduce the impact on the environment, and promote the industry to green and sustainable development.

[0003] Polypropylene (PP) is a recyclable foam material. Compared with PU, PS and PE foam materials, it has outstanding advantages such as higher service temperature, high impact strength, environmental friendliness and low cost, and is favored by scholars at home and abroad. 2 ) As a non-toxic, pollution-free and environmentally friendly physical foaming agent, its application in the preparation of polymer foam materials has also attracted widespread attention from scientific researchers and the industrial community.

[0004] As an ideal environmentally friendly thermal insulation material, polypropylene foam, like polystyrene, has very poor absorption capacity for electromagnetic waves in the infrared radiation band, which leads to significant radiation heat transfer in polypropylene foam, thus seriously reducing the thermal insulation performance of polypropylene foam. 2 The foamed materials produced by foaming technology have problems such as uneven pore structure, large pore diameter, and low pore density, which will greatly limit the application of foamed materials as thermal insulation materials.

[0037] In order to solve the problem of poor thermal insulation performance of existing polypropylene foam materials, the present application provides a radiation grafted polypropylene high thermal insulation foam material and a preparation method thereof. Among them, the present application found that the ester group has the function of absorbing infrared radiation energy, and the introduction of the ester group in the foam material can reduce the thermal conductivity by reducing the radiation heat conduction efficiency of the material. Therefore, the present application introduces ester groups into polypropylene through radiation grafting technology. In addition, the present application also adds nano-scale hollow molecular sieves as nucleating agents during the supercritical intermittent foaming process, so that the modified polypropylene material simultaneously forms a micro-nano pore structure during the foaming process, thereby obtaining a polypropylene foam material with a high porosity micro-nano pore structure of ester groups.

[0055] Example 1

[0056] This embodiment provides a method for preparing a radiation grafted polypropylene high thermal insulation foam material, and its preparation flow chart is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the specific steps include:

[0057] 50g of polypropylene powder and 5g of methyl acrylate were weighed, dissolved in a beaker filled with anhydrous ethanol, stirred evenly with a high-speed stirrer, poured into a radiation tube, evacuated, irradiated with an electron beam, absorbed 20kGy, washed 5 times with anhydrous ethanol, and dried to obtain grafted polypropylene powder; then, polypropylene powder and grafted polypropylene powder were weighed in a mass ratio of 9:1, wherein the polypropylene powder was conventional ungrafted polypropylene powder; at the same time, 2,6-di-tert-butyl-p-cresol and nano-scale hollow molecular sieve (particle size of 50nm, hollow pore size of 15nm) were added, and the addition amount of both was 1% of the total mass of the polypropylene powder and the grafted polypropylene powder, mixed, extruded and granulated by a twin-screw extruder, and mixed plastic particles were obtained; then, the mixed plastic particles were hot pressed into 2mm sheets at 165℃ on a flat vulcanizing molding machine, and the sheets were cut into 3cm diameter sample sheets by a laser cutting machine; the sample sheets were placed in a high-pressure reactor and heated with CO 2 The gas repeatedly cleans the reactor to exhaust the air in the reactor, and CO is charged into the reactor through a plunger metering pump. 2 When the pressure reaches 25 MPa, the kettle temperature is then heated to 170°C, and this temperature and pressure are maintained for 2 hours, and finally the pressure is released to release CO.2 The gas is released and foamed to obtain a polypropylene foam material with a high porosity and micro-nano pore structure having an ester group.

[0058] The infrared images and SEM images of the grafted polypropylene powder and the ungrafted conventional polypropylene powder prepared in this example are shown in FIG. Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown. Figure 3 It can be seen that ester groups were successfully introduced into polypropylene according to the method provided in this embodiment.

[0059] Comparative Example 1

[0060] This comparative example provides a method for preparing a radiation grafted polypropylene high thermal insulation foam material. Compared with Example 1, the difference is that the polypropylene is not grafted, but conventional polypropylene powder is directly used to replace the grafted polypropylene powder in Example 1 in an equal amount. The other steps are roughly the same as Example 1 and will not be repeated here.

[0061] In order to compare the thermal insulation performance of the foamed materials prepared in Example 1 and Comparative Example 1, the thermal conductivity of the foamed materials prepared in Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 was tested respectively. The results are as follows: Figure 5 As shown. Among them, the thermal conductivity of the foamed material prepared in Example 1 is 29.3mW / m·k, which is significantly lower than that of the foamed material in Comparative Example 1. In addition, the sum of the thermal conductivity contributions of solid and radiation in Example 1 is about 3.0mW / m·k, accounting for only 10% of the total thermal conductivity, which significantly reduces the thermal conductivity of solid and radiation compared with Comparative Example 1, proving that the ester group introduced after grafting has the function of absorbing infrared radiation energy. The introduction of the ester group can greatly increase the radiation absorption coefficient of the polypropylene foamed material, thereby greatly reducing the solid and radiation thermal conductivities.

[0062] The foaming materials prepared in Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 were placed in the same temperature environment and the temperatures of the two were tested. The results are as follows: Figure 6 As shown. Figure 6 It can be seen that the foamed material prepared in Example 1 has better thermal insulation performance.

[0063] Comparative Example 2

[0064] This comparative example provides a method for preparing a radiation grafted polypropylene high thermal insulation foam material. Compared with Example 1, the difference is that the nucleating agent is replaced by a conventional zeolite molecular sieve without a hollow structure (particle size is 30nm), and the other steps are roughly the same as Example 1 and will not be repeated here.

[0065] The thermal conductivity of the foamed material prepared in this comparative example was tested and compared with the thermal conductivity of the foamed material prepared in Example 1. The results are shown in Table 1.

[0066] Table 1 Nucleating agent types and product properties in Example 1 and Comparative Example 2

[0067]

[0068] It can be seen from Table 1 that after the nucleating agent is replaced with a normal molecular sieve without a hollow structure, the thermal conductivity of the foamed material obtained is significantly higher than the thermal conductivity of the foamed material obtained by using a hollow molecular sieve as the nucleating agent in Example 1, that is, the thermal insulation effect is significantly reduced.

[0069] Example 2 and Comparative Example 3

[0070] Example 2 and Comparative Example 3 respectively provide a method for preparing a radiation grafted polypropylene high thermal insulation foam material. Compared with Example 1, the difference is that the mass ratio of polypropylene powder and grafted polypropylene powder is changed, and the other steps are substantially the same as Example 1, which will not be repeated here. The mass ratio of polypropylene powder and grafted polypropylene powder in Example 2 and Comparative Example 3 and the thermal conductivity test results of the foam materials prepared therefrom are shown in Table 2.

[0071] Table 2 Process parameters and product performance in Example 2 and Comparative Example 3

[0072]

[0073] It can be seen from Table 2 that with the increase of the content of grafted polypropylene powder, the thermal conductivity of the obtained foamed material gradually increases, that is, the thermal insulation effect gradually decreases.

[0074] Examples 3-4 and Comparative Example 4

[0075] Examples 3 to 4 and Comparative Example 4 respectively provide a method for preparing a radiation grafted polypropylene high thermal insulation foam material. Compared with Example 1, the difference is that the pressure and temperature during supercritical carbon dioxide foaming are changed. The other steps are roughly the same as Example 1 and will not be repeated here.

[0076] The foaming conditions in Examples 3 to 4 and Comparative Example 4 and the thermal conductivity test results of the foamed materials prepared therefrom are shown in Table 3.

[0077] Table 3 Process parameters and product performance in Examples 3 to 4 and Comparative Example 4

[0078]

[0079] It can be seen from Table 3 that the thermal conductivity of the foamed material obtained when the foaming pressure is 25 MPa and the foaming temperature is 175°C is the lowest, that is, the thermal insulation performance is the best.

[0080] In summary, the present application provides a radiation grafted polypropylene high thermal insulation foam material and a preparation method thereof, which belongs to the technical field of polypropylene foam materials. Polypropylene is modified by a radiation grafting process, an ester group is introduced into the polypropylene, and then supercritical intermittent foaming is performed using a nanoscale hollow molecular sieve as a nucleating agent to obtain a polypropylene foam material with a high porosity micro-nano pore structure having an ester group. Among them, the ester group has the function of absorbing infrared radiation energy. The introduction of the ester group greatly improves the radiation absorption coefficient of the polypropylene foam material. The micro-nano pore structure formed during the foaming process makes the solid volume proportion of the entire polypropylene foam material much smaller than the air volume proportion, and the micro-nano pores reduce the heat transfer efficiency of air thermal convection by enhancing the Knudsen effect, thereby greatly reducing the thermal conductivity coefficient of the foam material. The foam material prepared by the present application has excellent thermal insulation performance, which solves the problems of poor thermal insulation performance of traditional foam materials and narrow substrate selection.
