Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a method for preparing a high melt strength flame retardant polypropylene composite material, in particular to the preparation and application of a polypropylene composite material with low flame retardant effect and high melt strength. Background Art

[0002] Polypropylene (PP) is the fastest growing variety among thermoplastic resins, and its good performance-price ratio determines its broad application areas. High melt strength polypropylene (HMSPP) with excellent performance can overcome the defects of unstable processing performance in thermoforming, blow molding and foaming molding caused by poor anti-sag of ordinary polypropylene, and has excellent thermal stability and high temperature dimensional stability, high toughness and tensile strength, superior microwave adaptability, good environmental effects and easy recycling. It occupies an important position in high-end special polypropylene materials.

[0003] The improvement of the melt strength of polypropylene is mainly achieved by introducing long-chain branching structures into polypropylene molecules to increase chain entanglement, thereby enhancing the interaction between molecular chains in the molten state. At present, the mature HMSPP preparation technologies in the world mainly include radiation irradiation, catalytic polymerization and extrusion modification. Although there are many HMSPP preparation technologies at home and abroad, products with excellent performance are mainly obtained by radiation irradiation or metallocene catalytic polymerization. Both methods have problems such as high energy consumption, high cost, complex process, and difficulty in large-scale production, resulting in expensive products. The reactive extrusion method is a free radical reaction between polypropylene in a molten state and a free radical initiator and a multifunctional monomer in a screw extruder. Due to its simple operation, this method is currently the most widely used method for preparing HMSPP, but the main problem is that the multifunctional monomer is very easy to cause the product to produce gel, and strict process control is required to achieve stable product performance.

[0004] Another difficulty in the application of polypropylene is that the polypropylene oxygen index is low, only about 18%. Polypropylene is a flammable substance, which generates a lot of heat when burning, accompanied by molten droplets, and is very easy to spread flames. Therefore, polypropylene needs to be flame-retardant modified to meet application needs, especially for products exported to the European Union, where end users often require halogen-free flame retardancy. In addition, unlike general flame-retardant polypropylene products, whether the HMSPP resin after adding flame retardants still has sufficiently high melt strength and processing performance, and whether it has good flame retardant properties, are all issues that need to be paid attention to.

[0005] Inorganic flame retardants are non-toxic and harmless flame retardants with relatively ideal application and development effects at present. They mainly include aluminum hydroxide and magnesium hydroxide. Among them, magnesium hydroxide has more prominent advantages. It is significantly better than aluminum hydroxide in terms of smoke suppression performance and thermal stability. In addition, Mg(OH)2 has a higher thermal decomposition temperature. It needs to absorb a large amount of heat during the heating process, which can reduce the combustion temperature of the polymer material surface; thermal decomposition will release a large amount of water, which can dilute the air on the surface of the polymer material and slow down the combustion rate of the polymer; the decomposition to generate MgO covering the surface of the polymer material can also isolate the air and play a role in heat insulation, thereby preventing the combustion of polymer materials, and MgO itself is a good refractory material. In addition, MgO has a relatively large specific surface area, which can absorb a large amount of smoke and reduce smoke emissions, and water vapor can also dilute the smoke to play a role in smoke elimination. However, Mg(OH)2 has strong hydrophilicity, positive charge on the surface, and high surface energy of the crystals, which makes it easy for the particles to agglomerate and have poor dispersibility, affecting its bonding and adhesion in polymer materials. At the same time, Mg(OH)2 has strong hydrophilicity, poor compatibility with most hydrophobic polymer materials, and weak interface bonding, resulting in low flame retardant efficiency after compounding. How to achieve uniform dispersion of nanoscale Mg(OH)2 in polypropylene has always been a difficult problem that has troubled people. At the same time, how to generate strong interface interactions between the chemically inert polypropylene matrix and Mg(OH)2 is also the key to determining whether Mg(OH)2 can effectively enhance polypropylene. The present invention proposes to use thermally reversible dynamic covalent bonds to realize the long-chain branching structure design of polypropylene, and introduce the above-mentioned thermally reversible dynamic covalent bonds into polypropylene resin in combination with a simple reaction extrusion method, thereby directly realizing the preparation of HMSPP in the screw processing process of polypropylene resin. The addition of a grafting monomer containing a carboxyl group and capable of forming a thermally reversible dynamic covalent bond can form a coordination effect with the modified Mg(OH)2 to promote the dispersion of the flame retardant. The polypropylene composite material prepared by the method has the characteristics of high melt strength, good processing performance and excellent flame retardant performance. Summary of the invention

[0015] Furthermore, the free radical stabilizer component F is selected from at least one of hindered phenol antioxidants, phosphite antioxidants, or alkyl ester antioxidants; the added mass of component F is 0.05% to 1% of the mass of the polypropylene resin A, preferably 0.1% to 0.5%.

[0016] Furthermore, the flame retardant component G is modified magnesium hydroxide; the added mass of the component G is 1 to 100% of the mass of the polypropylene resin A, preferably 1% to 50%.

[0017] Furthermore, the flame retardant component G is modified magnesium hydroxide, and its preparation method includes the following steps: (1) magnesium hydroxide and 9,10-dihydro-9-oxa-10-phosphaphenanthrene-10-oxide (DOPO) are placed in a vacuum drying oven for drying at a temperature of 80°C for 8 hours. (2) DOPO (D) is modified by a vinyl silane coupling agent (Z), and the reaction conditions are bulk polymerization, temperature of 140°C, and time of 5 hours.

[0062] Table 1 Properties of polypropylene composite materials

[0063]

[0064]

[0065] The high melt strength polypropylene prepared by the present invention can generate a long chain branching structure in the polypropylene because the component C therein can undergo a [4+2] cycloaddition reaction (i.e., Diels-Alder reaction) with the component B connected to the polypropylene molecular chain, thereby improving the melt strength of the polypropylene. In addition, the component D can undergo a [4+2] cycloaddition reaction (i.e., Diels-Alder reaction) with the component B connected to the polypropylene molecular chain, and Mg 2+ -The coordination between the carboxyl groups forms a cross-linked network structure, which further improves the melt strength of the composite material.

[0066] The polypropylene prepared by the present invention has a melt strength of more than 10 cN at 180°C, and the melt strength increases with the increase of the degree of branching, which is significantly higher than that of ordinary polypropylene (Comparative Example 1) and polypropylene with only component B added but not component C (Comparative Example 2). This shows that the Diels-Alder reaction between component C and component B is the key to generating a long-chain branched structure and thus improving the melt strength of polypropylene. The melt strength of polypropylene with only components B and C added but not component D (Comparative Example 5) is significantly lower than that of Example 6, indicating that the double cross-linked network plays a key role. And the effect of the modified flame retardant (Examples 1-6) is significantly better than that of magnesium hydroxide (Comparative Example 4).

[0067] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. All equivalent changes and modifications made according to the scope of the patent application of the present invention should fall within the scope of the present invention.
