Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of high polymers, and particularly relates to a preparation method of an ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene composition. BACKGROUND
[0002] Ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) is a linear structure thermoplastic engineering plastic, which has good impact resistance, strong wear resistance, good corrosion resistance and self-lubricating property, and is widely used in the fields of transportation, agriculture, chemical industry, petroleum, machinery, construction, papermaking, packaging, textile, food, electricity, medical treatment and sports. At present, the largest consumption field of UHMWPE in China is to produce plates, profiles and pipes. However, poor creep resistance and low heat distortion temperature greatly limit the application of UHMWPE. Since the product based on UHMWPE is prone to deformation, especially under high temperature or stress conditions, the creep resistance is poorer. Therefore, in order to broaden the application range of UHMWPE, it is very important to improve the thermal stability and creep resistance of UHMWPE.
[0003] The slow migration of molecular chains is an intrinsic factor of poor creep resistance of UHMWPE, and reducing the movement of molecular chains can bring changes in other properties, such as improving the thermal stability of UHMWPE. The traditional method is to enhance the intermolecular force through particle filling and blending modification, and then to improve the creep resistance of UHMWPE, but the effect is not good. Moreover, because the viscosity of UHMWPE itself is very large, the particle filling and blending modification increase the difficulty of the processing technology of UHMWPE. At present, radiation crosslinking modification and chemical crosslinking modification (mainly peroxide crosslinking modification) are two main means of modifying UHMWPE through crosslinking. However, the chemical crosslinking method has the problems of high content of crosslinking agent peroxide, and then produces volatile substances and odors and other adverse effects. Radiation crosslinking is considered to be a simple and effective method to improve the performance of various polymers. Under normal conditions, radiation can cause crosslinking of polyethylene resin and degradation of polypropylene resin. However, using high radiation dose of gamma rays or electron beam radiation on the surface of PE-UHMW will cause oxidation, aging and a large number of free radicals, which seriously affect the mechanical properties, stability and wear resistance of the product. Using low-dose radiation will cause the crosslinking density to decrease synchronously, and the expected modification effect cannot be achieved.
[0004] As disclosed in Chinese patent document CN111135343A, a high-crosslinking high-antioxidant-doped artificial joint prosthesis material and a preparation method thereof are disclosed. An organic peroxide is used as a chemical crosslinking agent, and the content of the organic peroxide crosslinking agent in the total mass of the polyphenol antioxidant, the ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene, and the organic peroxide crosslinking agent is 0.5% to 3%. The crosslinking density of the high-content polyphenol antioxidant stable ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene material is improved, and the higher polyphenol content makes the material have better oxidation stability.
[0005] Chinese patent document CN115746344A discloses an ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene product and a preparation method and application thereof. The ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene and the functional masterbatch are mixed to obtain a mixture, and the mixture is hot-pressed under oscillation to obtain the ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene product. The functional masterbatch contains 100 parts by weight of polyethylene, 0.3 to 5 parts by weight of a crosslinking agent, and 2 to 30 parts by weight of a crosslinking aid.
[0006] In order to improve the crosslinking efficiency, Chinese patent document CN1749303A uses infrared radiation special equipment to irradiate and crosslink a polyethylene resin composition added with a peroxide crosslinking agent, an auxiliary crosslinking agent, an antioxidant, and a lubricant to form a crosslinked polyethylene pipe and cable product.
[0007] Chinese patent document CN101848968A discloses introducing a hindered amine light stabilizer (HALS) into an (U)HMWPE resin, and crosslinking the (U)HMWPE during or after molding of the (U)HMWPE resin. The HALS is introduced into the (U)HMWPE resin by mixing the HALS with the (U)HMWPE resin or (U)HMWPE melt, or by immersing the (U)HMWPE resin with a HALS solution, or by spraying a HALS solution onto the (U)HMWPE resin, or by adding the HALS to the (U)HMWPE melt. An initiator such as a peroxide can also be added, and an activity aid can be added optionally. Then the (U)HMWPE resin containing the HALS is molded to obtain a product. Finally, the product is crosslinked and sterilized by gamma radiation or electron beam radiation to obtain an artificial medical implant. The disclosed technology prepares an artificial medical implant by irradiation crosslinking, which is not suitable for large pipe and plate products, and there is still a need for an ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene composition that can be directly processed and molded on existing equipment.
[0008] In summary, the existing chemical crosslinking method has a high content of peroxide crosslinking agent, which produces volatile substances and odors. The irradiation crosslinking method for modifying ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene requires irradiation of the product, which is not suitable for large pipe and plate products. SUMMARY

[0150] The pipe or plate prepared in each of the above examples and comparative examples was subjected to corresponding tests, and the specific test results are shown in the following table.
[0151] Table 1
[0152]
[0153]
[0154] From the data comparison of each example and comparative example in the above table, it can be seen that the ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene composition obtained according to the technical solution of the present application can be used to process pipes and plates by using the existing pipe and plate production equipment, and a small amount of crosslinking occurs during the forming process, so that the product has a low wear rate (less than or equal to 0.6%), a high load deformation temperature (greater than 80°C), and no color change after long-term storage. If no irradiation is performed (Comparative Example 1) or the irradiation dose is not within the range of the present application (Comparative Example 2, Comparative Example 3-1), or the composition lacks the necessary components (Comparative Example 4-1, Comparative Example 5-1), or the composition preparation steps are different (Comparative Example 6-1), or no peroxide is added (Comparative Example 3-2, Comparative Example 4-2, Comparative Example 5-2, Comparative Example 6-2), the obtained composition cannot meet the modification needs of ultrahigh molecular weight, and the yellow index of the product increases significantly after storage for a period of time, the wear rate of the product is high, and the load deformation temperature is low.
[0155] Moreover, in each example of the above table, the viscosity average molecular weight of the pre-irradiated composition does not change significantly compared to the viscosity average molecular weight of the ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene resin used. Therefore, it can be seen that the preparation method of the ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene composition provided by the present application, by selecting appropriate additives (hindered amine stabilizer, antioxidant, and peroxide) and their addition amounts, under a suitable irradiation dose, the ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene resin in the pre-irradiated composition obtained by the combined action of the ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene resin, part of the antioxidant, and the hindered amine stabilizer does not crosslink, but is more prone to micro-crosslinking under the action of the peroxide. If the irradiation dose is too large, or the composition lacks the necessary components (Comparative Example 3-1, Comparative Example 4-1, Comparative Example 5-1), the ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene resin will crosslink to a certain extent after irradiation: the viscosity average molecular weight of the pre-irradiated composition increases by more than 10% compared to the viscosity average molecular weight of the ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene resin used.
[0156] Of course, the present application can also have other various embodiments, and those skilled in the art can make various corresponding changes and modifications to the present application without departing from the spirit and essence of the present application. However, these corresponding changes and modifications should all fall within the scope of protection of the claims of the present application.
