Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of metal binder preparation, and particularly relates to a metal binder, a preparation method and a binding method. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the development of society and the improvement of the level of science and technology, people have higher and higher requirements for material strength. Most products adopt metal materials such as aluminum alloy, stainless steel, zinc alloy, etc. Metal materials have the advantages of high strength, thin thickness, fast heat dissipation and good texture. In order to realize the rapid and effective connection of metal and other materials, the main methods are: 1. Screw holes or buckles and other structures are bonded. This method is easy to increase weight and requires processes such as hole opening, which destroys the integrity of the material; 2. Welding. This method is complex to clamp and fix, and when the metal shell is thin, it will affect the appearance of the product and subsequent processing; 3. Binder bonding.

[0003] The third method of binder bonding is light in quality and convenient in construction, so many studies are devoted to binder bonding metal surfaces. For example, patent US2003 / 0135197 discloses a method for connecting metal and polymer surfaces for medical devices by using a coupling agent. The coupling agent contains at least two sets of functional groups with binding affinity to organic and inorganic compounds, respectively. The preferred coupling agent has a first functional group that forms a covalent bond with the polymeric material, and a second functional group that forms an ionic bond with the metal such as stainless steel. The coupling agent can be used with or without heat activation. However, this method still needs to use a third-party adhesive, and the performance is limited.

[0004] For example, in patent CN201711166435.3, by compounding ternary chlorovinyl resin and fluororesin in the resin, the adhesion to metal is improved, and the tensile shear strength of the polymer resin and the metal can be increased by nearly 70%. However, the ternary chlorovinyl resin used in this method has poor heat resistance, and part of it will decompose during processing, increasing the processing difficulty and causing unstable product performance and reducing the service life. SUMMARY

[0005] The purpose of the present application is to provide a metal binder with the advantages of good processing performance, stable product performance after bonding, and strong adhesion to metal.

[0006] The present application also provides a preparation method of the above-mentioned metal binder.

[0007] The present application also provides a binding method of the above-mentioned metal binder and metal.

[0008] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the technical scheme adopted by the present application is:

The thermoplastic resin has the property of softening when heated and hardening when cooled, and no chemical reaction occurs during heating, and this property is maintained regardless of the number of times heating and cooling are repeated.

[0018] According to some specific aspects of the present application, the thermoplastic resin is a polyphenyl sulfonic acid resin, which contains sulfur elements and benzene ring functional groups in its molecular structure, and has better mechanical properties and good adhesion to metals.

[0019] According to some specific aspects of the present application, the polyphenyl sulfonic acid resin includes, but is not limited to, one or more combinations selected from polystyrene sulfonic acid resin, polyphenylene sulfide resin, polyphenylene sulfone resin, polyether sulfone resin, and polyaryl sulfone resin.

[0020] According to some specific aspects of the present application, the polyphenyl sulfonic acid resin is preferably one or more combinations of polyphenylene sulfide resin and polyphenylene sulfone resin, which can achieve better mechanical properties.

[0021] According to some specific aspects of the present application, the thermoplastic resin has a melt index of 10-50 g / 10 min at 235°C and 2.16 kg, and has preferable processing performance and physical and mechanical properties. The melt index (MI) is the weight of the melt of a thermoplastic plastic passing through a standard capillary in ten minutes at a certain temperature and pressure, expressed in (g / 10 min). The larger the MI value, the lower the viscosity and average molecular weight of the raw material, the better the processing performance and flowability; on the contrary, the smaller the MI value, the greater the viscosity and average molecular weight of the raw material, the worse the processing performance and flowability, but the higher the physical and mechanical properties.

[0022] In some embodiments of the present application, the carbon fiber is mainly composed of carbon elements, has the characteristics of high temperature resistance, friction resistance, heat conduction and corrosion resistance, and can be processed into various fabrics in the form of fibers.

[0023] According to some specific aspects of the present application, in order to facilitate and uniformity of processing, the carbon fiber is preferably powder carbon fiber.

[0024] According to some specific aspects of the present application, the fiber length of the powder carbon fiber is in the micron level, and can be a mixture of powder carbon fibers with different fiber lengths within 1-1000 microns.

[0025] According to some specific aspects of the present application, in order to facilitate mixing uniformity and better mechanical properties, the amount of powder carbon fibers with different fiber lengths is different, based on 100 parts by weight of the amount of carbon fiber.

[0026] Further preferably, the carbon fiber comprises powder carbon fiber with a fiber length of 30 μm and powder carbon fiber with a fiber length of 130 μm, wherein the weight percentage of the powder carbon fiber with a fiber length of 30 μm is 40-95%, and the weight percentage of the powder carbon fiber with a fiber length of 130 μm is 5-60%. Alternatively, the carbon fiber comprises powder carbon fiber with a fiber length of 30 μm and powder carbon fiber with a fiber length of 130 μm, wherein the weight percentage of the powder carbon fiber with a fiber length of 30 μm is 60-95%, and the weight percentage of the powder carbon fiber with a fiber length of 130 μm is 5-40%.

[0027] In some embodiments of the present application, the thermoplastic elastomer includes, but is not limited to, a combination of one or more selected from styrene-based (SBS, SIS, SEBS, SEPS), olefin-based (TPO, TPV), diene-based (TPB, TPI), chlorovinyl-based (TPVC, TCPE), urethane-based (TPU), polyester-based (TPEE), polyamide-based (TPAE), organic fluorine-based (TPF), organosilicon-based, and ethylene-based. The thermoplastic elastomer is a type of elastomer that has the elasticity of rubber at room temperature and can be molded into a plastic at high temperature. The structural feature of the thermoplastic elastomer is that the different resin segments and rubber segments are composed of chemical bonds, the resin segments form physical crosslinking points by interchain forces, and the rubber segments are highly elastic segments that contribute to elasticity; the physical crosslinking of the plastic segments reversibly changes with temperature, showing the plastic processing characteristics of the thermoplastic elastomer.

[0029] According to some specific aspects of the present application, the soft segment is preferably a polyether block, which has good toughness and mechanical properties.

[0030] In some embodiments of the present application, the metal compound includes one or more of S and N elements, which have strong metal adsorption properties.

[0032] According to some specific aspects of the present application, the metal compound is preferably one or more of cadmium sulfide and zirconium nitride.

[0033] According to some specific aspects of the present application, the amount of the metal compound is 30-80 parts. A smaller amount and a smaller content of S element weaken the affinity and are not conducive to metal adhesion; if the amount is larger, the thermoplastic elastomer is prone to rapid degradation, reducing the service life.

[0034] According to some specific aspects of the present application, the metal compound is used in an amount of 40-70 parts.

[0035] In some embodiments of the present application, the sulfur-containing modifier is a combination of one or more selected from thiourea, disodium lauryl sulfosuccinate, dimethyl sulfoxide, fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether (3) sulfosuccinate disodium MES, sodium dodecyl sulfate, and 1-dodecyl mercaptan, which can further bond the metal.
