Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of composite materials, and particularly relates to a nano injection-molded polyethylene terephthalate composite material that can be used for aluminum alloys and an application thereof. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, nano injection molding of the middle frame has become the mainstream process for mid-to-high-end mobile phones. Whether it is an aluminum alloy middle frame, a stainless steel middle frame, or a titanium alloy middle frame, the nano injection molding process can be used to realize the design of the antenna partition strip. Polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) is currently the most used plastic material in the nano injection molding process due to its good comprehensive performance. In addition, polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) and high-temperature polyamide (PPA) are also used in some products. With the enhancement of environmental awareness and the promulgation of relevant regulations, the environmental protection requirements of consumer electronic products for raw materials are gradually increasing. Plastic products produced with consumer recycled raw materials (PCR) are increasingly favored by the market. However, for the plastic materials used in nano injection molding, whether it is PBT, PPS or PPA, due to the lack of a single large-scale consumer market, the lack of PCR raw materials makes it difficult to produce PCR-type products. Some companies use the method of adding some PCR-grade polyethylene terephthalate (PET) to PBT products to achieve PCR in the final product. However, the PCR content obtained by this method is low, generally not more than 20%. Otherwise, due to the slow crystallization and easy thermal decomposition of PET, it will cause defects such as difficulty in injection molding and demolding, decreased material properties, etc., which seriously affect the performance of the product. Summary of the invention

[0023] The materials used in the examples are directly used without any treatment after purchase. The PPSU particles in the examples are PPSU particles that have not been treated after purchase. The PPSU powder is PPSU that has been ground after purchase, and the particle size range after grinding is less than 100 mesh.

[0024] The tensile strength in the following examples is tested using the ISO527 standard method, and the notched impact strength is tested using the ISO180 standard method.

[0025] The aluminum alloy nano injection molding sample used in the present invention is prepared by the following process: 6061 aluminum material, size specifications, length 45mm, width 18mm, thickness 1.6mm; T treatment process: sequentially alkaline washing in NaOH solution (1mol / L, 20 seconds), hydrochloric acid corrosion (1mol / L, 4 minutes), and immersion in ammonia solution (T treatment solution, 0.6mol / L, 2 minutes), and then the immersed sample is cleaned with water and dried to obtain an aluminum sample with nanopores on the surface.

[0026] Preparation of the plastic metal test monolith used in the present invention:

[0027] The present invention refers to the method in Japanese Taisei Chemical Patent No. 8057890 to prepare the plastic metal test integral part. Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the plastic-metal test piece. The size of the metal sheet is 18mm×45mm×1.6mm, the size of the plastic part is 10mm×45mm×3mm, and the bonding area between the plastic and the metal is 0.5cm 2In all experiments, the injection molding maintained the same injection molding conditions, barrel temperature 250-280°C, mold temperature 140°C, and the PET composite material was injected onto the metal sheet to obtain a plastic-metal test integral part.

[0028] Plastic-metal bonding performance test:

[0029] The plastic-metal bonding strength test standard used in the present invention refers to the standard in Japanese Taisei Chemical Patent 8057890, and the bonding area between plastic and metal is 0.5 cm 2 , perform biaxial tensile test on the plastic metal test piece.

[0030] The processing performance test method is as follows: use a single-mouth 60*60*2mm mold, injection temperature 270C, mold temperature 150C, molding cycle 40s continuous injection 13 molds. Discard the first 3 molds and start counting from the 4th mold. If 10 molds can be automatically demolded, the processing performance is excellent. If 7-9 molds can be automatically demolded, the processing performance is average, and if 0-6 molds can be automatically demolded, the processing performance is poor.

[0031] Examples 1 to 9

[0032] The PET composite materials in Examples 1 to 9 are all prepared by the following steps: weighing the components in corresponding amounts according to weight percentage, then mixing the components, and granulating the PET composites using a twin-screw extruder at a granulation temperature of 200 to 280° C. The weight percentages (%) of the components in Examples 1 to 9 and the various properties of the prepared PET composite materials are shown in Table 1 below.

[0033] Table 1. Product properties and processing properties of PET composites.

[0034]

[0035] From the data in Table 1, it can be seen that when PBT and PPSU are not used, although the aluminum metal bonding force can meet the production requirements (it is generally believed that 35MPa can meet most production requirements), the processing performance of the product is very poor and it is difficult to demold. When PBT and PPSU are added at the same time, such as Example 6 of the present invention, the processing performance of the product is significantly improved, while the aluminum metal bonding force is kept almost unchanged, which shows that PBT and PPSU produce a synergistic effect in the PET composite material. In particular, when the powdered PPSU raw material is used, such as Example 7, while maintaining excellent processing performance, the mechanical properties of the product are also significantly improved.

[0036] Embodiments 10 to 16

[0037] The PET composite materials in Examples 10 to 16 were prepared by the following steps: weighing the components in corresponding amounts according to weight percentage, then mixing the components, and granulating the PET composites using a twin-screw extruder at a granulation temperature of 200 to 280° C. The weight percentages (%) of the components in Examples 10 to 16 and the various properties of the prepared PET composite materials are shown in Table 2 below.

[0038] Table 2. Effect of aluminum diethylphosphinate / aluminum phosphite (4:1) on the properties of PET composites.

[0039]

[0040] From the data in Table 2, it can be seen that the appropriate amount of OP1400 can further improve the aluminum alloy bonding strength of the PET composite while maintaining the mechanical properties and processing properties.

[0041] The above embodiments are preferred implementation modes of the present invention, but the implementation modes of the present invention are not limited to the above embodiments.
