Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of polymers, specifically relating to an acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene-methyl methacrylate (MABS) graft copolymer resin, its preparation method, and a transparent MABS resin composition. Background Technology

[0002] As consumers increasingly demand higher quality of life, the fields where ABS resin is widely used, such as home appliances, automobiles, communication equipment, and computers, are gradually requiring ABS materials to possess both excellent intrinsic properties and good appearance. For example, in recent years, industrial development and significant product differentiation have led to substantial changes in product design. Transparent designs have attracted considerable attention. These design changes necessitate changes in raw materials. Therefore, extensive research on transparent materials is actively underway.

[0003] For this reason, various techniques have been developed to impart transparency to acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) resin by introducing alkyl acrylate or alkyl methacrylate monomers into ABS resin. Patent CN1297580C describes a transparent acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer resin with good chemical resistance and transparency, obtained by graft copolymerization on a) conjugated diene latex; b) alkyl methacrylate or alkyl acrylate compounds; c) aromatic ethylene compounds; and d) acrylonitrile compounds, as well as its preparation method. The resin obtained by this method generally has poor optical properties, with haze values ​​all above 2.1. Patent CN101072803B describes a method for preparing a transparent styrene-acrylonitrile-acrylate terpolymer resin and the transparent styrene-acrylonitrile-acrylate terpolymer resin prepared by this method. This transparent resin is easily molded due to its good flowability, can be mixed with various other compounds due to its good chemical resistance, and hardly fades due to its good fading resistance. However, the transparent ABS resin obtained by this method has poor impact strength, limiting its application scenarios.

[0004] Therefore, researching and preparing transparent ABS resin compositions that simultaneously possess high transparency and high impact resistance is of great practical significance. Summary of the Invention

[0069] Table 1 Formulations and reaction conditions for Examples 1-5

[0070]

[0071]

[0072] Comparative Example 1

[0073] Preparation of polybutadiene rubber latex (a-1):

[0074] The process of Example 1 was repeated, except that all materials added during the reaction in Example 1 were added to the reactor all at once before the reaction started, and then the reaction was carried out at the reaction temperature of Example 1. After reaching the conversion rate of Example 1, the temperature was lowered and the reaction was stopped to obtain polybutadiene rubber latex a-1.

[0075] Comparative Example 2

[0076] Preparation of polybutadiene rubber latex (a-2):

[0077] The process of Example 3 was repeated, except that the materials that reached the butadiene conversion rate (1) and butadiene conversion rate (2) were combined together and added together when the butadiene conversion rate reached 25.5%. The subsequent operation was the same as in Example 3. When the final butadiene conversion rate reached 90.6%, the reaction was stopped by cooling to obtain polybutadiene rubber latex a-2.

[0078] Comparative Example 3

[0079] Preparation of polybutadiene rubber latex (a-3):

[0080] Repeat the process of Example 5, except that the materials that reach the butadiene conversion rate (2) and butadiene conversion rate (3) are combined together and added together when the butadiene conversion rate reaches 57.0%. The subsequent operation is the same as in Example 5. When the final butadiene conversion rate reaches 92.6%, the reaction is stopped by cooling to obtain polybutadiene rubber latex a-3.

[0081] The average particle size and particle size distribution index of the polybutadiene rubber latexes prepared in Examples 1-5 and Comparative Examples 1-3, as well as the percentage of particles larger than 800 nm, were tested. The results are shown in Table 2.

[0082] The average particle size, particle size distribution, and percentage of particles larger than 800 nm in polybutadiene rubber latex were obtained by diluting the sample and then testing it using a Malvern nanoparticle size analyzer (Zetasizer Nano series): 1 g of latex sample filtered through a 100-mesh screen was added to 100 g of deionized water for thorough dilution, and then another 1 g of this diluted solution was added to 100 g of deionized water for further dilution. The average particle size of the latex was then measured using a Malvern nanoparticle size analyzer (Zetasizer Nano series).

[0083] Particle size distribution and the percentage of particles larger than 800 nm.

[0084] Butadiene conversion test method: Take 0.05g of sample into a 20ml headspace vial, dilute with DMF to 1.00g, and analyze the sample using gas chromatography to determine the residual butadiene monomer content. Calculate the butadiene conversion rate by substituting the test results into the following formula:

[0085]

[0086] Table 2. Test results of polybutadiene rubber latex prepared in the examples and comparative examples.

[0087]

[0088] As shown in Table 2, in the preparation examples 1-5 of the present invention, polybutadiene latex with an average particle size distribution of 260-300 nm, a particle size distribution (PDI) ≤ 0.15, and a content of particles with a particle size greater than or equal to 800 nm not exceeding 10 wt% can be obtained. However, the average particle size, particle size distribution, and content of polybutadiene latex prepared as comparative examples 1-3 do not meet the index range required by the present invention.

[0089] Using the polybutadiene latex prepared in Examples 1-5 and Comparative Examples 1-3, the MABS graft copolymer resins of Examples 6-10 and Comparative Examples 4-6 were prepared in the following manner.

[0090] Examples 6-10

[0091] Based on the types and amounts of raw materials and experimental conditions in Table 3, prepare MABS graft copolymer resins (A-6 to 10) according to the following steps:

[0092] 25-50g of deionized water, 25-35g of alkyl acrylate monomers, 10-15g of styrene monomers and 1-10g of acrylonitrile monomers, as well as 0.001-0.1g of reducing agent, 0.01-1g of complexing agent, 0.01-1g of co-reducing agent, 0.5-5g of emulsifier (3), 0.1-3g of molecular weight control agent (2) and 0.01-0.3g of initiator (4) are continuously added to 50-70g of polybutadiene rubber latex prepared in step S1 to allow these monomers to graft polymerize. The continuous feeding time is 3-6 hours, and the temperature is controlled at 50-65℃ during continuous feeding. After feeding is completed, the temperature is raised to 65-80℃ and the curing continues for 1-3 hours to obtain MABS graft copolymer resin.

[0094]

[0095]

[0096] Comparative Example 4

[0097] Preparation of MABS graft copolymer resin a-4:

[0098] The process of Example 6 was repeated, except that the polybutadiene rubber latex A-1 prepared in Example 1 was replaced with an equal mass of polybutadiene rubber latex a-1 prepared in Comparative Example 1, while other operations and conditions remained unchanged.

[0099] Comparative Example 5

[0100] Preparation of MABS graft copolymer resin a-5:

[0101] The process of Example 6 was repeated, except that the polybutadiene rubber latex A-1 prepared in Example 1 was replaced with polybutadiene rubber latex a-2 prepared in Comparative Example 2 by an equal mass, while other operations and conditions remained unchanged.

[0102] Comparative Example 6

[0103] Preparation of MABS graft copolymer resin a-6:

[0104] The process of Example 6 was repeated, except that the polybutadiene rubber latex A-1 prepared in Example 1 was replaced with the polybutadiene rubber latex a-3 prepared in Comparative Example 3 by an equal mass, while other operations and conditions remained unchanged.

[0105] Add 2g H2SO4 and 200g deionized water to the coagulation vessel and start stirring to fully dissolve the H2SO4. Heat the coagulation vessel to 75°C and continuously feed 100g of MABS graft copolymer resin latex prepared in Examples 6-10 and Comparative Examples 4-6 into the coagulation vessel for 1 hour. After feeding, heat the coagulation vessel to 90°C and keep it at that temperature for 1 hour. Cool the coagulation vessel to room temperature and filter, wash, and dehydrate the coagulated slurry to obtain ABS wet rubber powder. Dry the ABS wet rubber powder in a fluidized bed dryer at 65°C until the water content is <1%, thus obtaining the MABS graft copolymer resin prepared in Examples 6-10 and Comparative Examples 4-6.

[0106] A twin-screw extruder was used at 200-220°C. LG Chem's MSAN resin (XT-500) was used as the continuous phase, and MABS graft copolymer resins prepared in Examples 6-10 and Comparative Examples 4-6 were used as the dispersed phase. The resins were blended, extruded, and granulated according to a polybutadiene rubber content of 15% to obtain thermoplastic transparent MABS resin.

[0107] Various test specimens were prepared using the above-mentioned MABS resin at 190°C on an injection molding machine. The light transmittance, haze, and cantilever beam notched impact strength of the thermoplastic transparent MABS resin were tested according to ASTM D1003 and ASTM D256, respectively. The results are shown in Table 3.

[0108] Table 3. Performance Comparison of Thermoplastic Transparent MABS Resin

[0109]

[0110] As can be seen from Table 3 above, unlike Comparative Examples 1-3, Examples 1-5 of the present invention, by controlling the mass proportion of large polybutadiene rubber particles in the MABS graft copolymer resin, simultaneously obtain a specified rubber particle size and particle size distribution index, thereby obtaining a transparent MABS resin composition with high transparency and impact resistance. Furthermore, it can be seen that the thermoplastic MABS resin prepared by Examples 1-5 has a light transmittance of 91.0 or higher, a haze value of 1.8 or lower, and a cantilever beam impact strength of 16 kJ / m². 2 above.

[0111] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely illustrative examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art will recognize that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the scope of protection of this invention.
