Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of thermoplastic elastomers, and particularly relates to a low-shrinkage styrene-based thermoplastic elastomer and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Thermoplastic elastomers are polymer materials that exhibit a highly elastic rubber state at room temperature but can be plasticized and molded at high temperatures. They are known as "third-generation rubbers." The English abbreviation TPE: Thermoplastics Elasticer. Depending on their composition and structure, they can generally be divided into the following categories: styrene-based thermoplastic elastomers, polyolefin-based thermoplastic elastomers, polyurethane-based thermoplastic elastomers, etc. Styrene-based thermoplastic elastomers mainly refer to thermoplastic elastomers prepared with SBS and SEBS as raw materials. SEBS is a thermoplastic rubber synthesized by block copolymerization of styrene and butadiene. The SEBS structure contains rigid styrene chains that are in a glassy state at room temperature, giving the material a fixed shape and ensuring its performance; the material structure contains flexible butadiene chains that are in a highly elastic state at room temperature, giving the material a comfortable soft touch and elasticity.

[0003] Currently, styrene-based thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) are widely used in automotive interior trims. However, most TPEs are rarely used in applications where high dimensional precision is required. To adapt TPEs for these applications, a styrene-based TPE with low shrinkage is needed.

[0004] Patent publication number CN108250653B discloses a thermoplastic elastomer composition and molded products made therefrom. The patented thermoplastic elastomer composition comprises: a styrene block copolymer, oil, a polyolefin resin, a polystyrene resin, and an inorganic filler. The shrinkage rate of the thermoplastic elastomer is reduced through a reasonable ratio. However, the styrene thermoplastic elastomer prepared by this patent and the prior art still has the disadvantage of poor flame retardancy, which limits the application scope of styrene thermoplastic elastomers. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In order to solve the problem that the styrene-based thermoplastic elastomers prepared by the prior art still have poor flame retardant properties, which limits the application range of styrene-based thermoplastic elastomers, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a low-shrinkage styrene-based thermoplastic elastomer and a preparation method.

[0006] The purpose of the present invention can be achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0007] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a low-shrinkage styrene-based thermoplastic elastomer, comprising the following raw materials in parts by weight: 20-30 parts of styrene-butadiene block copolymer, 10-20 parts of polystyrene resin, 30-40 parts of softening operating oil, 30-60 parts of modified nano-calcium carbonate, 1-2 parts of lubricating dispersant, and 1-2 parts of antioxidant.

[0008] The modified nano calcium carbonate is nano calcium carbonate grafted with hyperbranched polysilane, and the hyperbranched polysilane is obtained by hydrolysis and condensation of styrylethyltrimethoxysilane, borate-based siloxane and nitrogen-phosphorus-based siloxane.

[0009] Furthermore, the styrene-butadiene block copolymer is one or more of a styrene-butadiene-styrene block copolymer, a styrene-ethylene-butylene-styrene block copolymer, and a styrene-ethylene-propylene-styrene block copolymer.

[0010] Furthermore, the polystyrene resin is one or more of general-grade polystyrene and high-impact polystyrene.

[0011] Furthermore, the softening process oil has a flash point greater than 200°C and a kinematic viscosity greater than 50 mm at 40°C. 2 / s of one or more of paraffin oil, cycloparaffin oil, aromatic oil, and straight-chain paraffin oil.

[0012] Furthermore, the lubricating dispersant is one or more of erucamide, oleamide, zinc stearate, magnesium stearate, silicone, and polyethylene wax.

[0013] Furthermore, the antioxidant is one or more of the hindered phenol antioxidant Irganox 1010, the phosphite antioxidant IRGAFOS168, and the amine antioxidant A.

[0014] Furthermore, the preparation method of modified nano calcium carbonate is:

[0015] Add nano-calcium carbonate, acetic acid aqueous solution and tetrahydrofuran into a flask, control the temperature at 70-75°C, add hyperbranched monomer, keep warm and react for 24 hours, wash with distilled water, and vacuum dry at 50-55°C for 72 hours to obtain modified nano-calcium carbonate.

[0016] The mass ratio of nano-calcium carbonate, acetic acid aqueous solution, tetrahydrofuran and hyperbranched monomer is 0.2:1:(6-10):2, the mass fraction of acetic acid aqueous solution is 66.7%, and the hyperbranched monomer is composed of styrylethyltrimethoxysilane, borate-based siloxane and nitrogen-phosphorus-based siloxane in a mass ratio of 1:0.2-0.4:0.6-0.8.

[0017] As an inorganic filler, nano-calcium carbonate can effectively fill the gaps between the molecular chains of styrene-based thermoplastic elastomers, increasing the volume fraction of the polymer matrix. This filling effect can restrict the free movement of polymer molecular chains during processing and curing, thereby reducing the overall shrinkage caused by molecular chain shrinkage.

[0018] Nano calcium carbonate surface presents as strong polarity, is incompatible with polymeric materials usually, and this can't form effective interfacial layer between nano calcium carbonate and polymer, makes nano calcium carbonate dispersibility not good, is unfavorable for nano calcium carbonate to play its effect.In the above-mentioned reaction, the methoxyl group hydrolysis in the hyperbranched monomer generates silanol, then passes through hydrogen bond with the hydroxyl on the nano calcium carbonate surface, last dehydration condensation, the silanol dehydration condensation that the remaining hydroxyl generates with the hyperbranched monomer hydrolysis again on the silanol, repeats dehydration condensation reaction, finally forms hyperbranched structure, has obtained modified nano calcium carbonate.Hyperbranched structure has formed one deck " protective coat" on the nano calcium carbonate surface, and this protective coat has certain steric hindrance effect.Steric hindrance effect can stop direct contact and reunion between the nano calcium carbonate particle, thereby improved its dispersibility, and the shrinkage percentage of styrene-based thermoplastic elastomer is reduced. Hyperbranched polysilane can also reduce the surface free energy of nano-calcium carbonate. The reduction of surface free energy helps to disperse and stabilize nano-calcium carbonate in the organic phase, improves its compatibility and interfacial bonding with organic materials, and further reduces the shrinkage of styrene-based thermoplastic elastomers.

[0019] Further, the preparation method of borate siloxane is:

[0020] Add trans-1-propen-1-ylboronic acid and 3-mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane to tetrahydrofuran, mix well, then add benzoin dimethyl ether, stir for 1-2 hours, irradiate with ultraviolet light for 30-40 minutes at room temperature, remove the solvent by reduced pressure distillation after the reaction, precipitate in n-hexane three times, and vacuum dry at 30-40°C to constant weight to obtain borate-based siloxane.

[0021] The dosage ratio of trans-1-propen-1-ylboronic acid, 3-mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane, tetrahydrofuran, and benzoin dimethyl ether is 0.84 g: 1.96 g: 14 mL: 0.05-0.08 g; the power of the ultraviolet lamp is 20 W, and the wavelength is 365 nm.

[0022] In the above reaction step, under the action of the initiator benzoin dimethyl ether, the double bond of trans-1-propen-1-ylboronic acid and the mercapto group in 3-mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane undergo a mercapto-ene click reaction to obtain borate-based siloxane.

[0023] Furthermore, the preparation method of nitrogen-phosphorus siloxane is:

[0024] After the Schlenk flask was closed and nitrogen exchanged three times, it was protected with nitrogen and placed in a -40°C cryostat. γ-Aminopropyltriethoxysilane, triethylamine, and toluene were sequentially added to the Schlenk flask. After stirring for 10 minutes, diphenylphosphine chloride was slowly added dropwise within 30 minutes. Stirring was continued for 15 minutes before removal from the cryostat and stirring at room temperature for 2.5 hours. A fritted funnel was filled with diatomaceous earth, and the generated triethylamine hydrochloride was removed by suction filtration. The Schlenk flask and triethylamine hydrochloride were washed sequentially with toluene and n-hexane. The filtrates were combined and the solvent was removed by rotary evaporation to obtain the nitrogen-phosphorus-based siloxane.

[0025] The volume ratio of γ-aminopropyltriethoxysilane, triethylamine, toluene and diphenylphosphine chloride is 3.5:4.6:60:5.6.

[0026] In the above reaction steps, the amino group of γ-aminopropyltriethoxysilane undergoes a substitution reaction with the chlorine in diphenylphosphine chloride to obtain nitrogen-phosphine siloxane, and triethylamine serves as an acid-binding agent in the reaction.

[0027] In a second aspect, the present invention provides a method for preparing a low-shrinkage styrene-based thermoplastic elastomer, comprising the following steps:

[0028] (1) putting the styrene-butadiene block copolymer and softening process oil into a high-speed mixer in sequence, stirring at a speed of 300-500 r / min for 5-40 minutes, and letting it stand for 24 hours for standby use; then putting the polystyrene resin, modified nano calcium carbonate, lubricant, and antioxidant into the high-speed mixer together, stirring at 100-300 r / min for 3-8 minutes to obtain a premix semi-finished product;

[0029] (2) Adding the semi-finished premix into an extruder, and melt-extruding and granulating the premix to obtain a low shrinkage styrene-based thermoplastic elastomer.

[0030] Furthermore, in step (2), the extruder is a co-rotating twin-screw extruder, the feed speed is 200-300 r / min, the screw speed is 300-500 r / min, and the screw aspect ratio is 52.

[0031] Furthermore, in step (2), the temperature of the first section of melt extrusion does not exceed 170°C, and the temperature of the remaining sections is 190-250°C.

[0032] Beneficial effects of the present invention:

[0033] 1, the present invention added modified nano calcium carbonate when preparing styrene thermoplastic elastomer, nano calcium carbonate carries out surface modification by hyperbranched polysilane, and hyperbranched polysilane is obtained by styrylethyltrimethoxysilane, borate-based siloxane and nitrogen-phosphorus-based siloxane hydrolysis condensation.Styrylethyltrimethoxysilane can make the modified nano calcium carbonate surface contain styrene-based ethyl structure, and the structure of this structure and polystyrene and styrene-butadiene block copolymer has certain similarity, thereby improved the compatibility of modified nano calcium carbonate and matrix, and then improved the mechanical property of styrene thermoplastic elastomer, reduced the shrinkage percentage of styrene thermoplastic elastomer.Contain nitrogen, phosphorus, silicon, boron, sulphur multiple flame retardant element in borate-based siloxane and nitrogen-phosphorus-based siloxane, can improve the flame retardant property of styrene thermoplastic elastomer jointly by synergistic effect between these flame retardant elements.
