Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical fields of polymer dispersant synthesis and masterbatch formulation, and particularly relates to a polymer, a masterbatch composition, a preparation method thereof, and a corresponding polyolefin product. Background Art

[0002] Currently, the method of using masterbatch to color polyolefin products is the most common. A masterbatch refers to an aggregate prepared by uniformly attaching an ultra-constant amount of pigment to a thermoplastic resin through a special method, also known as a pigment concentrate, which is a high-efficiency colorant dedicated to a new type of polymer material. The primary condition for the application of masterbatch in plastic products is to enable the pigment to be uniformly dispersed in the plastic, thereby endowing the plastic with rich colors without affecting other properties of the plastic products. Poor dispersion of the pigment in the carrier resin easily causes miscellaneous color spots or streaks on the surface of polyolefin products, thus affecting the appearance gloss and transparency of polyolefin products.

[0003] The prerequisite for improving the strength, transparency, and brightness of plastic products and enhancing the utilization rate of pigments is to improve the dispersion of pigments in the masterbatch and reduce the average particle size of pigments. Among them, whether the pigment can achieve the best dispersion effect in the carrier resin of the masterbatch mainly depends on three factors: the characteristics of the pigment itself, efficient processing equipment, or an efficient dispersant.

[0004] Regardless of the selection of the processing technology method of the masterbatch, the characteristics of the dispersant used in the formula play a decisive role in the dispersion effect of the pigment. In the processing stage of the masterbatch, the dispersant penetrates into the voids and holes in the pigment agglomerates, reduces the surface tension and mutual attraction of the particles, and efficiently transfers the shear force of the equipment, thereby effectively opening the agglomerated pigment particles. In addition, the dispersant also coats the pigment particles, and uses charge repulsion, steric hindrance, or entropy effect to prevent the refined pigment particles from agglomerating again, thereby exerting its stabilizing effect. The addition of the dispersant can also accelerate the wetting between the polymer and the pigment, reduce the surface tension between the polymer and the pigment, increase their affinity, improve the compatibility between the pigment and the carrier resin, and the dispersant can also improve the fluidity and processing performance of the masterbatch.

[0005] Amphiphilic polymers are usually used as dispersants for masterbatch. The amphiphilic copolymer contains molecular segments with significantly different properties (such as hydrophilicity, lipophilicity, complexing ability, etc.), which can increase the compatibility of pigment molecules with large polarity differences in the carrier resin. The current prior art US8153731 mentions the preparation of comb polymers by reacting styrene-maleic anhydride copolymers with primary amino-terminated polyalkylene oxides used as wetting agents and / or dispersants. US4755563 proposes the use of block copolymer dispersants containing ionic moieties, where the block copolymers are prepared by group transfer polymerization technology and can be used as pigment dispersants. As a dispersant, such block copolymers lack long carbon chain hydrocarbon groups, which can play a role in dispersing pigment particles, but their steric hindrance effect is not prominent enough, and the improvement of the weather resistance of polyolefin products is limited.

[0006] On the other hand, the commercial compatibilizers PE-g-MAH, PP-g-MAH, and POE-g-MAH are all grafted with the polar monomer maleic anhydride on non-polar polyethylene, polypropylene, or ethylene-octene copolymer. However, the distribution of polar monomers is uneven, and there is a lack of regularly distributed long carbon chains to provide a steric hindrance effect to maintain dispersion stability. Even for POE-g-MAH containing long carbon chain lipophilic hydrocarbon groups, their distribution on the molecular chain is irregular, resulting in a reduced effect on pigments when used as a dispersant in masterbatch and failing to exert the steric hindrance effect of long chain hydrocarbon groups.

[0007] Therefore, the weather resistance and color difference of polyolefin products prepared from current masterbatch are difficult to meet market demands, and there is an urgent need for polymer dispersants that can increase the compatibility between pigments and carrier resins, as well as masterbatch compositions with better pigment dispersibility and weather resistance. Summary of the Invention

[0008] Aiming at the defects of the prior art, the present invention designs and synthesizes a copolymer of maleic anhydride and donor vinyl monomers, alternately forming polar succinic anhydride segments and non-polar hydrocarbon segments. When this copolymer is combined with low molecular weight polyethylene wax as a dispersant for masterbatch compositions, it can more effectively exert the steric hindrance effect, improve the dispersion effect on pigment particles, and also have a stronger shielding effect on pigment particles.

[0038] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: The method of free radical polymerization is designed to synthesize an alternating copolymer of maleic anhydride and vinyl monomers.

[0039] Polar succinic anhydride segments and non-polar long carbon hydrocarbon segments are alternately formed on the main chain of this alternating copolymer. The distribution of polar segments and non-polar segments is more uniform and regular, thereby further increasing the steric hindrance effect of the polymer and the dispersion and coating effects on pigments, thus improving the dispersion performance of pigments and the anti-aging effect. However, due to the relatively high molecular weight of the copolymer itself, a low molecular weight polyethylene wax is used as a dispersant in combination, which has both dispersion and lubrication effects, helping the masterbatch composition to be more evenly melt-mixed. The finally prepared polyolefin product has a lower color difference, more stable coloring performance, and better ultraviolet light aging resistance. At the same time, this route also utilizes the light component by-product α-olefin dimer generated during the α-olefin coordination polymerization process, thereby expanding the application field of low molecular weight poly-α-olefins and increasing their economic value.

[0113] Among them, the polyethylene wax used in the above examples or comparative examples is POLYWAX1000 or POLYWAX2000 of Baker Hughes, and the corresponding product molecular weights and properties are shown in Table 1. It can be seen from the data in Table 1 that the weight average molecular weight of the polyethylene wax does not exceed 3000, the molecular weight distribution is very narrow, not exceeding 1.40, and its melt drop point is greater than 110 °C, belonging to hard wax.

[0116] The test characterizations for the polymers (maleic anhydride-α-olefin dimer alternating copolymer or N-octadecyl maleamide-α-olefin dimer alternating copolymer) prepared in Examples 1-6 include: elemental analysis (C, H, N, O) was carried out on a PerkinElmer Series IICHNS / O Analyzer 2400. Gel permeation chromatography (GPC) analysis was performed using an Agilent PLGPC 220 chromatograph equipped with a PLgel Olexis column. GPC used tetrahydrofuran containing 5% acetic acid as the eluent (flow rate of 1 mL / min), the test temperature was 40 °C, and polystyrene was used as the molecular weight calibration standard. The structural characterization of the copolymer sample was carried out by nuclear magnetic resonance hydrogen spectrum ( 1 1H-NMR, the solvent was CDCl 3 3). Among them, the results of elemental analysis are shown in Table 2, 1 the results of 1H-NMR are shown in the appendix of the specification Figure 1-9, the test results of GPC can be found in the attached specification Figure 10-12 .

[0117] Table 2

[0118]

[0119] From the data in Table 2 and the attached specification Figure 1-12 it can be seen that the polymer elements prepared in Examples 1, 3, and 5 contain C, H, and O, and the molecular weight M w ranges from 5000 to 50000. The size of the molecular weight is related to the carbon number of the selected α-olefin dimer. The higher the carbon number of the α-olefin dimer, the higher the molecular weight of the polymer prepared.

[0120] Based on Examples 1, 3, and 5, Examples 2, 4, and 6 add 1-octadecylamine to carry out a ring-opening reaction with maleic anhydride, thereby increasing the number-average molecular weight and weight-average molecular weight of the polymer, and introducing N element into the polymer at the same time.

[0121] The tests for the masterbatch composition samples prepared in Examples 7-18 and Comparative Examples 1-3 include:

[0122] Dispersion test of masterbatch in polyolefin: The prepared masterbatch was added to polypropylene, and a sample sheet with a thickness of 2.5 mm was obtained by injection molding with an injection molding machine, and a polypropylene film was obtained by calendering at 200 °C. Observe the size of the pigment particles therein, and count the number of pigment particles with diameters of 5 μm, 10 μm, 30 μm, and more than 100 μm, and thus conduct a dispersion rating. The specific rating indicators are shown in Table 3.

[0123] Table 3

[0124] Grade 5 4 3 2 1 Average particle size of pigment ions / μm <5 5-10 10-30 30-100 >100

[0125] Total color difference test: Referring to the method of Q / SYRD-R-2014-2014 polyolefin masterbatch standard, the masterbatch and polypropylene pellets were mixed at a mass ratio of 1:8. After blending, they were injection molded into test specimens at 200 °C. The color difference meter of LS173 (Shenzhen Linshang Technology Co., Ltd.) was used to measure the test specimens and the standard samples respectively under the D65 light source, and thus ΔL, Δa, and Δb were obtained. Further, ΔE was calculated according to Equation (1).

[0126]

[0127] Weather resistance test: The test specimens obtained by injection molding at 200 °C were placed in an ultraviolet aging test chamber and aged under the same conditions for 1000 h. After removal, ΔL, Δa, and Δb were continuously measured according to the method of total color difference measurement, and the total color difference ΔE after aging was calculated. The weather resistance of the masterbatch was judged by the value of the total color difference ΔE after aging, and the ΔE value was used to evaluate the color consistency and matching degree.

[0128] Balanced torque test: During the preparation of the masterbatch, when the dispersant, pigment, carrier resin, filler, and other additives were mixed well, the torque-time curve of the corresponding sample was further measured by a torque rheometer at 160 °C and a screw speed of 80 r / min (the corresponding attached drawing is Figure 13 ), and the balanced torque and the time to reach the maximum torque were obtained therefrom.

[0129] The test results of the masterbatch composition samples prepared in Examples 7-18 and Comparative Examples 1-3 are listed in Table 4.

[0130] Table 4

[0131]

[0132]

[0133] From the data in Table 4, it can be seen that the masterbatch prepared in Examples 7-18 using the maleic anhydride-α-olefin dimer alternating copolymer or N-octadecyl maleamide-α-olefin dimer alternating copolymer prepared in Examples 1-6 has better dispersibility, a lower particle size of the pigment particles in the polypropylene film prepared by calendering, a smaller total color difference of the polypropylene test plate obtained by injection molding, and a smaller total color difference after 1000 hours of aging, and higher aging resistance. From the torque-time curve and balanced torque of the material melt blending in the torque rheometer, it can be seen that the balanced torque of the formulation in Examples 7-18 is lower during the material blending process, which indicates that adding the polymer prepared in Examples 1-6 is beneficial to improving the compatibility between the pigment particles and the organic components in the formulation, and has an obvious effect on increasing the interfacial binding between the two.

[0134] In addition, through the data analysis of Table 4, it was also found that the alternating copolymer prepared using α-olefin dimers with more carbon chains has better dispersion and compatibility effects, and the color difference of the prepared polyolefin products is lower and the aging resistance is higher. By analyzing Examples 7-10, Examples 11-14, and Examples 15-18 with the same number of carbon atoms, it was found that the N-octadecyl maleamide-α-olefin dimer copolymer prepared by further reacting 1-octadecylamine with maleic anhydride has better dispersion and coating protection effects on the pigment particles in the masterbatch composition, and the color difference of the corresponding polyolefin products is lower and the aging resistance is better.

[0135] The formulation of the masterbatch composition proposed in Comparative Example 1 did not add maleic anhydride-α-olefin dimer copolymer or N-octadecyl maleamide-α-olefin dimer copolymer, and used low-molecular-weight POLYWAX2000 polyethylene wax alone as a dispersant. Therefore, the dispersion effect on pigment particles was poor. Its molecular weight was low and it lacked non-polar long side chains for dispersing and coating pigment particles. The color difference of the subsequent prepared polypropylene sample was large and the aging resistance was poor. The equilibrium torque during the material mixing process was higher, indicating poor compatibility between components and making it more difficult to mix.

[0136] The formulation of the masterbatch composition in Comparative Example 2 used the maleic anhydride-α-olefin dimer alternating copolymer prepared in Example 3 alone for dispersion, without adding low-molecular-weight polyethylene wax POLYWAX1000 or POLYWAX2000. From the Figure 11 (c) GPC results, the corresponding molecular weights M of the alternating copolymer prepared in Example 3 w = 10821, M n = 5665, PD = 1.91. It can be seen that the alternating copolymer has a relatively high molecular weight and lacks low-molecular-weight components during the dispersion process, resulting in a relatively low dispersion grade. The equilibrium torque during the material mixing process of the masterbatch composition is high, and the corresponding polypropylene sample has a large color difference and poor aging resistance.

[0137] In Comparative Examples 3 and 4, the commercial graft polymers POE-g-MAH and PP-g-MAH were used together with low-molecular-weight polyethylene wax as dispersants for the masterbatch composition. The dispersion effect on pigment particles was still lower than that of Examples 7-18. The color difference of the prepared polypropylene sample and the color difference after aging were higher than those of Examples 7-18. This is because POE-g-MAH and PP-g-MAH are graft copolymers, and the grafting sites of MAH are randomly distributed without obvious rules. The distribution of the low-polar carbon skeleton and the high-polar maleic anhydride monomer is uneven. In addition, POE is a copolymer of ethylene and α-olefin. Compared with the alternating copolymer prepared in Examples 1-6, the distribution of α-olefin in the molecular chain is uneven. Therefore, the steric hindrance effect of the long carbon chain is difficult to play effectively, thus affecting the dispersion effect on pigment particles. PP-g-MAH is made by grafting maleic anhydride onto polypropylene, and the carbon chain of the PP segment is too short, and there is also a problem that the steric hindrance effect is difficult to play.
