Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of polymer material modification, and in particular to a preparation method and application of a PC / ABS alloy material. Background Art

[0002] PC / ABS alloy material is a thermoplastic alloy material obtained by blending and modifying polycarbonate (PC) and acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer (ABS), and is also commonly referred to as PC / ABS alloy material. Through the blending of PC and ABS, the heat resistance of ABS is improved and the internal stress of PC is reduced. The prepared alloy material has both the excellent mechanical properties of PC and the good processing and molding characteristics of ABS, and is widely used in the fields of automobiles, home appliances, electronic appliances, etc.

[0003] In the preparation of PC / ABS alloy materials, the preparation of ABS particles includes bulk method and emulsion blending method. Among them, bulk method ABS has the characteristics of low impurity content and low volatile component content, and the PC / ABS alloy prepared by it has the advantage of low odor (VOC). For example, the patent with publication number CN111117196B discloses a low-odor and low-emission PC / ABS alloy material, which is prepared by selecting bulk method polymerization ABS raw materials, adding a specific type of foaming polymer, and volatile component content to prepare low-odor PC / ABS alloy. However, the rubber content of ABS particles prepared by the above two methods is low and fixed, and there are many restrictions in the preparation of PC / ABS alloy. The high rubber content ABS powder obtained by emulsion graft polymerization is directly added with PC and SAN resin for blending modification, and the rubber content in the alloy can be adjusted, the formula design is flexible, and the material properties can be customized. However, due to the large amount of impurities in the emulsion grafted ABS powder, the prepared alloy material has a high volatile component content and poor odor, which limits its wide application.

[0054] In this embodiment, the melt index of the polycarbonate resin (PC) is 11 g / 10 min, and the preparation process is a melting method; the acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer (ABS) is a bulk method ABS8391.

[0066] Table 2-4 Extruder barrel segment layout, feeding position and temperature settings for each segment (processing conditions).

[0067] Performance Test: The alloy materials prepared in Examples 1-9 and Comparative Examples 1-4 were dried in a forced circulation oven at 100°C for 4 hours, injection molded into standard specimens at 220-260°C, and the prepared specimens were conditioned in an environment of 23°C and 50% RH for 24 hours before testing.

[0068] 1. Izod notched impact performance (IZOD) The test is carried out according to the GB / T 1843 method. A notch is preset on the material and an impact test is carried out to evaluate its impact resistance. The sample size is 80*10*4mm and the notch type is type A.

[0069] Low temperature IZOD test: The specimen is conditioned at -30°C for 2 hours and then tested. The unit is kJ / m 2 .

[0070] The impact strength can be expressed by the following formula: Where a represents the cantilever beam impact strength, unit: kJ / m 2 (kilojoules per square meter); A represents the impact absorbed by the sample, in J; b represents the width of the sample, in mm; d represents the thickness of the sample (the remaining thickness after deducting the notch), in mm. The test results are shown in Table 3.

[0071] Table 3 Izod notched impact performance (IZOD) test results. IZOD(normal temperature) IZOD(-30℃) Example 1 51 33 Example 2 49 34 Example 3 50 31 Example 4 55 35 Example 5 61 39 Example 6 63 42 Example 7 57 37 Example 8 52 38 Example 9 58 40 Comparative Example 1 53 22 Comparative Example 2 53 22 Comparative Example 3 59 27 Comparative Example 4 64 29

[0072] As shown in Table 3, compared with Comparative Example 1, Example 1 has better low-temperature impact resistance. Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 have the same PC content, but the rubber content is higher, so the low-temperature impact resistance is higher; compared with Comparative Example 2, Comparative Example 3 and Comparative Example 4, Example 4, Example 5 and Example 6, the room temperature impact resistance and low-temperature impact resistance of Examples 4, 5 and 6 are better than those of Comparative Examples 2, 3 and 4; compared with Comparative Example 2, Example 4 and Example 7, the rubber content of Examples 4 and 7 is higher than that of Comparative Example 2. The test results show that the low-temperature IZOD of Examples 4 and 7 is better than that of Comparative Example 2. Therefore, high rubber content can improve the low-temperature impact resistance of PC / ABS alloy materials. Using ABS wet powder, the rubber content in PC / ABS alloy can be adjusted, which greatly improves the low-temperature impact resistance.

[0073] Compared with Example 4, Example 7 adopts SAN with a low melt index, and the room temperature impact resistance and low temperature impact resistance of Example 7 are better than those of Example 4; Compared with Example 3, Example 8 adopts PC with a low melt index, and the room temperature impact resistance and low temperature impact resistance of Example 8 are better than those of Example 3; therefore, the use of a low melt index can improve the impact resistance of the PC / ABS alloy material.

[0074] 2. Melt Index (MFI) and Vicat Softening Temperature (VST) Melt Flow Index (MFI): Melt Flow Index (MFI) is an index used to measure the melting and flow difficulty of thermoplastic polymers. The larger the value, the better the fluidity of the material, and vice versa. Refer to GB / T 3682.1 standard, set the temperature to 240℃, load 5kg, flow for 30 seconds, and take samples for testing. The unit is g / 10min.

[0075] Vicat Softening Temperature (VST): Vicat Softening Temperature (VST) is an important indicator used to evaluate the thermal stability of thermoplastics. VST is the temperature when a flat-tip needle is pressed into the surface of a plastic sample to a depth of 1 mm under a specific load and constant temperature increase. The Vicat softening temperature test determines the softening temperature by heating the material and measuring its indentation depth. The higher the Vicat softening temperature, the better the thermal stability of the material. Referring to GB / T 1633 standard, the test conditions are a load of 50N and a heating rate of 50℃ / h, in units of ℃. The test results are shown in Table 4.

[0076] Table 4 Melt index and Vicat softening temperature test results. MFI(240℃*5kg) VST (50N, 50℃ / h) Example 1 9 107 Example 2 10 108 Example 3 10 108 Example 4 8 113 Example 5 6 117 Example 6 5 119 Example 7 7 114 Example 8 7 108 Example 9 25 118 Comparative Example 1 11 108 Comparative Example 2 9 108 Comparative Example 3 6 117 Comparative Example 4 5 119

[0077] As shown in Table 4, the water content of Example 2, Example 3 and Example 9 are all higher than that of other examples, and the relationship of the water content of the three is Example 2> Example 3> Example 9. From the results in the table, it can be seen that the melting index of the three is higher than that of other examples, and the relationship of the melting index of the three is Example 2> Example 3> Example 9. The better the fluidity of the materials of Example 2, Example 3 and Example 9. Therefore, increasing the water content can increase the melting index of the PC / ABS alloy material, thereby improving the fluidity of the alloy material.

[0078] Compared with Example 1, the PC contents of Example 4, Example 5, and Example 6 are all higher than that of Example 1, and the PC contents of the three are in the order of Example 6>Example 5>Example 4. As can be seen from the results in the table, the Vicat softening temperatures (VST) of the three are all higher than those of the other examples, and the thermal stability and heat resistance of the materials of Example 4, Example 5, and Example 6 are better. This indicates that increasing the PC content can improve the thermal stability of the alloy material.

[0079] 3. Residual monomer content (residual monomer) test Residual monomer content (residual monomer): Take 1 g of the colloid particles obtained in Examples 1-9 and Comparative Examples 1-4, and after equilibration treatment with a headspace sampler at 180°C*30min, quantitatively inject them into a gas chromatograph to test the contents of components such as AN, SM, and toluene, in ppm.

[0080] Table 5 Residual monomer test results. Residual monomers (ppm) Example 1 1397 Example 2 1154 Example 3 985 Example 4 863 Example 5 784 Example 6 667 Example 7 834 Example 8 936 Example 9 691 Comparative Example 1 831 Comparative Example 2 767 Comparative Example 3 714 Comparative Example 4 690

[0081] As shown in Table 5, it can be seen from the comparison between Examples 1 and 2 that as the moisture content in the ABS powder increases, the residual monomer content of the obtained product decreases significantly. It can be seen from the comparison between Examples 4, 5, and 6 and Comparative Examples 2, 3, and 4 that as the amount of ABS used decreases and the moisture content of ABS increases in Examples 4, 5, and 6, the residual monomer content of the product can reach the level of bulk ABS. This shows that the moisture in the ABS powder can strip residual monomers such as AN and SM during the heating and evaporation process, and the effect is obvious.

[0082] The PC / ABS preparation method of the present invention cleverly utilizes the heat and moisture in the polymer manufacturing process, simplifies the manufacturing process, reduces the manufacturing cost, and the prepared PC / ABS alloy material has excellent comprehensive performance and has broad application prospects.
