Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of polypropylene materials, and relates to an environmentally friendly polypropylene-based composite material, a preparation method thereof, and an application thereof. Background Art
[0002] In modern materials science, polypropylene, as an important thermoplastic, has been widely used in many fields, such as power pipes, packaging materials, automotive parts, and household appliance casings, due to its excellent mechanical properties, chemical stability, and processing convenience. Its advantages include a relatively low density, high tensile strength, and excellent corrosion resistance, which have enabled it to occupy an important position in many industrial fields. However, despite the many advantages of polypropylene in daily applications, there are still certain deficiencies in its mechanical properties and flame retardancy, which limit its performance and safety in some special applications.
[0003] Firstly, although polypropylene has good toughness and impact resistance, under high-temperature or high-load conditions, especially when subjected to large mechanical stresses, it often exhibits low strength and rigidity. This makes polypropylene prone to deformation or rupture in some application scenarios, especially in complex working environments, such as under high temperature, large impact, or long-term load conditions, where the structural stability and durability of polypropylene will be significantly affected.
[0004] Secondly, the flame retardancy of polypropylene is relatively weak. Especially in a high-temperature environment, its flammable characteristics may lead to an increased fire risk. When polypropylene encounters a fire source, it is prone to spontaneous combustion and rapid spread of the fire, and may also release toxic and harmful gases, such as carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and certain volatile organic compounds, which pose a potential threat to human health and environmental safety. Especially in application scenarios with high safety requirements, the insufficient flame retardancy of polypropylene will greatly increase the danger during a fire. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In view of the above problems, the purpose of the present invention is to provide an environmentally friendly polypropylene-based composite material, its preparation method and application. The present invention chemically modifies the polypropylene matrix, introduces maleic anhydride and triallyl isocyanurate to enhance the polarity and interfacial bonding force of the matrix, and at the same time enhances its thermal stability and mechanical properties. Graphene oxide improves its dispersibility and interfacial compatibility through biomimetic lipid bilayer and silanization modification, and further endows it with intelligent response ability by grafting thermosensitive polymers. Carbon nanotubes are constructed with a core-shell structure through plasma activation and magnesium hydroxide deposition, enhancing their interfacial bonding force and flame retardancy. The modification of n-octyl phosphite further forms a synergistic flame retardant system, and the metal coordination modifier significantly improves the flame retardancy efficiency and thermal stability of the material by promoting carbonization and releasing non-combustible gases. Finally, through the multiple synergistic effects and modification strategies of functional fillers, a composite material with excellent mechanical properties, thermal stability and flame retardancy is prepared.

[0060] In a second aspect, the present invention provides an environmentally friendly polypropylene-based composite material prepared by the above-mentioned preparation method.
[0061] In a third aspect, the present invention provides an application of an environmentally friendly polypropylene-based composite material prepared by the above-mentioned preparation method in a power pipeline.
[0062] In the present invention, polypropylene is selected as the substrate. Polypropylene is a semi-crystalline thermoplastic compound whose main chain is composed of non-polar carbon-carbon bonds, which makes it chemically inert and hydrophobic. At the same time, polypropylene has extremely low electrical conductivity and is suitable for the insulating layer of power pipelines. However, due to its non-polar properties, it lacks intermolecular interaction with polar nanofillers and has poor interfacial compatibility. Therefore, it is necessary to introduce polar groups through chemical modification to improve the interfacial bonding force between polypropylene and fillers.
[0063] First, polypropylene is activated using diisopropylbenzene peroxide, which is a highly efficient free radical initiator that can decompose at high temperatures to generate free radicals. The generated free radicals extract hydrogen atoms from the side chains of polypropylene molecules to generate polypropylene free radicals. Next, the polypropylene free radicals react with the double bonds in maleic anhydride and triallyl isocyanurate molecules to form free radical addition reactions, which graft them onto the polypropylene chain. The anhydride groups introduced by maleic anhydride provide polar groups, which combine with polar fillers through hydrogen bonds or chemical reactions, thereby enhancing interfacial compatibility. The isocyanurate groups introduced by triallyl isocyanurate further enhance the polarity of polypropylene, while providing potential cross-linking capabilities, thereby enhancing the thermal stability and mechanical properties of the composite material.
[0064] The hexafluorocyclotriphosphazene structure in the metal coordination modifier contains abundant phosphorus-nitrogen bonds, which can decompose at high temperatures and slowly release inorganic phosphoric acid, nitrogen oxides and other compounds. On the one hand, these decomposition products can promote the carbonization of the substrate surface to generate a thermally stable expanded carbon layer, which plays a role in heat insulation and oxygen isolation; on the other hand, the released non-combustible gas can dilute the concentration of combustible gas in the combustion area, thereby significantly improving the flame retardant efficiency of the material. In addition, the construction of the expanded carbon layer can also enhance the structural integrity of the material and prevent the loss of mechanical properties at high temperatures.
[0065] Further introduction of 4-aminophenol and acrylic acid into the molecular structure of the metal coordination modifier can significantly improve the flame retardancy and thermal stability. 4-aminophenol introduces phenolic hydroxyl and amino groups through the reaction with hexafluorocyclotriphosphazene. The phenolic hydroxyl group helps to promote the carbonization reaction of the material at high temperature, while the amino group can increase the nitrogen source and provide more non-flammable gas for the flame retardant process. The carboxyl group in the acrylic acid molecule can chemically bond with the substrate or filler, further improving the polarity of the modifier and providing active sites for subsequent cross-linking reactions, thereby enhancing the thermal stability and interfacial adhesion of the composite material.
[0066] Zinc chloride plays an important role in carbonization catalysis in this system. As an efficient carbonization catalyst, zinc chloride can accelerate the dehydration carbonization process of the substrate at high temperature, reduce the activation energy of the carbonization reaction, and significantly improve the carbonization efficiency. At the same time, zinc chloride can also form a coordination structure with the oxygen-containing or nitrogen-containing groups in the modifier. This coordination effect further enhances the efficiency of the carbonization catalysis process and improves the flame retardant properties of the composite material.
[0067] In order to improve the interfacial bonding ability of the metal coordination modifier, the silane coupling agent KH560 was introduced. The silane group in the KH560 molecule can form a stable chemical bond with the surface of the inorganic filler, while its epoxy group can react chemically with the active groups in the polymer matrix. This bifunctional structure gives KH560 a bridge effect in the "organic-inorganic" interface, significantly improving the chemical bonding and stability of the interface. In addition, the carboxyl group in acrylic acid can also complex with inorganic fillers or other modifiers to further enhance the interfacial bonding. This multiple effect enables the metal coordination modifier to form a stable bond with the polymer matrix and inorganic filler at the same time, thereby effectively improving the mechanical properties, thermal stability and flame retardant efficiency of the composite material.
[0068] Graphene oxide is introduced as a filler in the present invention. Graphene oxide is a two-dimensional nanomaterial containing a large number of oxygen-containing functional groups on the surface and edges, which give it strong polarity, high specific surface area and good chemical reactivity, and can be further functionalized by chemical modification. The lamellar structure of graphene oxide has high strength, and its high specific surface area enables it to form a large interface contact area with a polypropylene matrix, thereby effectively transmitting stress, preventing microcracks from expanding, and significantly improving the mechanical properties of polypropylene. In addition, graphene oxide has good thermal conductivity, and its introduction can form a heat conduction path in the matrix, thereby improving the thermal stability of the composite material.
[0069] The lamellar structure of graphene oxide can form a dense expanded carbonized layer during the combustion process, effectively preventing heat and oxygen from transferring into the interior of the substrate, thereby improving the flame retardant properties of the material. At the same time, the gas produced by the decomposition of graphene oxide at high temperatures also has a certain effect on diluting the combustible gas in the combustion area. When used in conjunction with other flame retardants, graphene oxide can further enhance the physical strength and structural stability of the carbonized layer. However, the oxygen-containing groups on the surface of graphene oxide give it a strong hydrophilicity, which is incompatible with the hydrophobic polypropylene matrix, and easily leads to agglomeration in the matrix and insufficient interfacial bonding. Therefore, further modification is required.
[0070] First, 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine was introduced. 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine is a typical phospholipid molecule with a hydrophilic phosphate head and a hydrophobic fatty acid tail. On the surface of graphene oxide, 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine forms a biomimetic lipid bilayer structure through self-assembly: the hydrophilic head interacts with the hydroxyl or carboxyl groups on the graphene oxide surface through electrostatic interaction and hydrogen bonding, while the hydrophobic tails are arranged with each other through van der Waals forces to form a stable bilayer structure. This bilayer structure effectively reduces the surface energy of graphene oxide, making its surface both hydrophilic and hydrophobic, thereby significantly improving the dispersibility of graphene oxide in the polypropylene matrix.
[0071] Subsequently, 3-glycidylpropyltrimethoxysilane was introduced for further modification. The epoxy group of 3-glycidylpropyltrimethoxysilane chemically combines with the hydroxyl or carboxyl groups on the surface of graphene oxide through a ring-opening reaction to form a stable chemical bond; at the same time, the trimethoxysilane part of 3-glycidylpropyltrimethoxysilane is hydrolyzed under the action of humidity or water to generate silanols, which further condense with each other or with the groups on the surface of graphene oxide to form a Si-O-Si cross-linked structure. This process not only significantly enhances the chemical and thermal stability of graphene oxide, but also fixes the lipid bilayer structure, further improving the modification effect.
[0072] Secondly, N-isopropylacrylamide was grafted onto the surface of biomimetic layer-modified graphene oxide by atom transfer radical polymerization to form thermosensitive polymer poly N-isopropylacrylamide segments, thus constructing a "core-shell-brush" three-layer structure. This structure is formed and functions in the following ways: the core layer is based on graphene oxide, providing high strength, high thermal conductivity and two-dimensional support; the lipid bilayer formed by biomimetic assembly is coated on the surface of graphene oxide to form a shell layer, which improves the dispersibility and interfacial compatibility of graphene oxide and provides a stable substrate for subsequent polymerization reactions; the poly N-isopropylacrylamide segments grafted on the surface by atom transfer radical polymerization form an outer brush-like structure, giving graphene oxide intelligent response capabilities. The poly N-isopropylacrylamide segments are thermosensitive polymers. This thermosensitive response characteristic provides intelligent regulation capabilities for composite materials, allowing them to form an adaptive conductive network structure. When the temperature rises, the poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) chain segments shrink, causing the distance between graphene oxide sheets to decrease, thereby optimizing the conductive path and effectively improving the conductive performance; at the same time, this chain segment shrinkage behavior also helps to limit the occurrence of local overheating, thereby playing a role in thermal management and protection. Conversely, when the temperature drops, the swelling behavior of the chain segments is restored, and the structure of the conductive network is expanded, maintaining the excellent performance of the material at lower temperatures.
[0073] The present invention introduces carbon nanotubes as functional fillers. Carbon nanotubes are hollow tubular nanostructures formed by carbon atoms through sp² hybridization. The high thermal conductivity of carbon nanotubes comes from the efficient transfer of electrons and phonons in their one-dimensional tubular structure. In composite materials, carbon nanotubes can form heat conduction paths through the dispersion and connection of fillers, thereby significantly improving the overall thermal conductivity of the material. This improvement in thermal conductivity helps the material achieve more efficient heat transfer during use and avoid local overheating; Secondly, carbon nanotubes show good thermal stability and resistance to decomposition at high temperatures, and can form a physical barrier during the combustion process to prevent the diffusion of heat and combustible gases, thereby inhibiting the spread of flames. In addition, carbon nanotubes can also work synergistically with other flame retardant fillers to further improve the flame retardant properties of composite materials by improving the density and thermal stability of the carbonized layer; Carbon nanotubes have excellent conductive properties. After introducing carbon nanotubes into a polymer matrix, their antistatic and electromagnetic shielding properties can be significantly improved by forming a conductive network inside the material. The high mechanical strength and high aspect ratio of carbon nanotubes enable them to be effectively used as a reinforcing phase material. By dispersing in the polymer matrix and forming a continuous reinforcing network, carbon nanotubes can significantly improve the tensile strength, modulus and impact resistance of the composite material.
[0074] However, due to the lack of active functional groups on the surface of carbon nanotubes, their interfacial bonding with the polymer matrix is weak, resulting in insufficient stress transfer efficiency, which limits their reinforcement effect in composite materials. Therefore, it is necessary to surface activate or chemically modify carbon nanotubes to enhance their interfacial bonding.
[0075] First, the surface of carbon nanotubes is activated by plasma treatment. Plasma treatment bombards the surface of carbon nanotubes with high-energy particles, destroying the inert carbon-carbon bond structure on the surface and introducing polar active functional groups such as hydroxyl and carboxyl groups on the surface of carbon nanotubes. The introduction of these functional groups significantly enhances the polarity of carbon nanotubes, improves their dispersibility and interfacial bonding in polar matrices. In addition, the presence of hydroxyl and carboxyl groups provides active sites for subsequent chemical modifications, laying the foundation for further construction of multifunctional composite structures.
[0076] Magnesium hydroxide is deposited on the surface of activated carbon nanotubes by chemical precipitation to form a core-shell structure. Specifically, during the chemical precipitation process, the surface functional groups of the activated carbon nanotubes react with Mg²⁺ to promote the uniform deposition of magnesium hydroxide. Finally, a composite structure of "carbon nanotubes@magnesium hydroxide" is formed with carbon nanotubes as the "core" and magnesium hydroxide as the "shell". Magnesium hydroxide is an inorganic flame retardant. During the heating process, magnesium hydroxide undergoes endothermic decomposition and releases water, thereby reducing the temperature of the combustion area, inhibiting the spread of flames, and diluting the concentration of combustible gases in the combustion area, further inhibiting the combustion reaction.
[0077] In order to further enhance the flame retardant effect, the surface of magnesium hydroxide was functionalized by n-octyl phosphite. The phosphate groups in n-octyl phosphite can react or coordinate with the hydroxyl groups on the surface of magnesium hydroxide, thereby introducing phosphorus-containing groups into the composite structure. Finally, a ternary synergistic flame retardant system of "carbon nanotubes + magnesium hydroxide + phosphate" was formed: during the combustion process, magnesium hydroxide releases water by endothermic decomposition, cools the combustion area, and plays a physical flame retardant role; the decomposed magnesium oxide residue has high thermal stability and can form a dense thermal insulation barrier to further prevent heat transfer and flame expansion. The phosphate groups in n-octyl phosphite decompose at high temperatures to generate active phosphorylated products, which can catalyze the carbonization reaction on the surface of the polymer matrix. The carbonization layer acts as a heat-insulating and oxygen-isolating barrier, significantly reducing the combustion rate of the material. At the same time, the phosphorus-containing groups can capture the free radicals generated during the combustion process, inhibit the spread of flames, and further enhance the flame retardant effect. Carbon nanotubes, as the core supporting structure, not only improve the mechanical properties of the composite material, but also promote the efficient transfer and diffusion of combustion heat through their high thermal conductivity, thereby avoiding local overheating.
[0078] In the entire composite material system, there is a significant synergistic effect between graphene oxide and carbon nanotubes. The two-dimensional sheet structure of graphene oxide and the one-dimensional rod-like morphology of carbon nanotubes are complementary in geometry, which enables the two to jointly construct a three-dimensional network structure in the matrix, thereby significantly improving the mechanical properties of the composite material. The high aspect ratio and sheet structure of graphene oxide provide rigid support in the matrix, limiting the plastic deformation of the matrix, while carbon nanotubes, with their high aspect ratio and flexibility, further act as a connecting bridge between the sheets, giving the system higher structural integrity and stress transfer efficiency. In addition, the oxygen-containing functional groups on the surface of graphene oxide and the active groups on the surface of activated carbon nanotubes can form a stable interface bond through hydrogen bonding, further enhancing the interaction between the two. At the same time, the π-π stacking effect between graphene oxide and carbon nanotubes provides additional bonding force, further improving the interface strength of the composite material. Since this three-dimensional network can effectively prevent the propagation of microcracks inside the matrix, the mechanical properties of the composite material are enhanced.
[0079] In terms of flame retardant properties, the synergistic effect between graphene oxide and carbon nanotubes significantly improves the fire resistance of composite materials by constructing a multi-layer flame retardant barrier. Magnesium hydroxide deposited on the surface of carbon nanotubes is an effective inorganic flame retardant. It releases water through its endothermic decomposition at high temperature, which can reduce the temperature of the combustion area and dilute the concentration of combustible gases, playing a role of physical flame retardant. The decomposed magnesium oxide residue further forms a dense thermal insulation barrier to prevent the spread of heat and flames. At the same time, the two-dimensional sheet structure of graphene oxide forms a dense carbonized layer by stacking during the combustion process, which can isolate the transfer of heat and oxygen, thereby delaying the combustion process. This sheet barrier effect is combined with the longitudinal flame retardant effect of carbon nanotubes to construct a multi-scale flame retardant system. In addition, the oxygen-containing functional groups on the surface of graphene oxide can react with the surface of magnesium hydroxide, further enhancing the interface bonding, making this multifunctional filler more stable during the combustion process and more flame retardant. Ultimately, the synergistic effect of carbon nanotubes and graphene oxide effectively improved the flame retardant properties and thermal stability of the composite material through the combination of physical flame retardancy and chemical flame retardancy.
[0080] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: The present invention uses polypropylene as the matrix material, and its chemical inertness and hydrophobicity lead to poor interfacial compatibility with polar fillers. Maleic anhydride and triallyl isocyanurate are grafted onto the polypropylene chain by initiating a free radical reaction with diisopropylbenzene peroxide, and polar groups are introduced to enhance the interfacial bonding force with the filler, while improving the thermal stability and mechanical properties of the material.
[0081] The metal coordination modifier provides abundant phosphorus-nitrogen bonds through the hexafluorocyclotriphosphazene in its molecular structure, which decomposes at high temperature to generate inorganic phosphoric acid and nitrogen oxides, which not only promotes the carbonization of the matrix and forms a thermally stable expanded carbon layer to insulate heat and oxygen, but also dilutes the concentration of combustible gas in the combustion area by releasing non-combustible gas, significantly improving the flame retardant performance. The function of the modifier is further enhanced by the introduction of 4-aminophenol and acrylic acid, which respectively improves the thermal stability and flame retardant efficiency of the composite material by promoting carbonization and enhancing interfacial adhesion. In addition, zinc chloride as a carbonization catalyst significantly reduces the activation energy of the carbonization reaction and improves the carbonization efficiency, while further enhancing the flame retardant effect through coordination with the modifier. The silane coupling agent KH560 enhances the chemical bonding between the inorganic filler and the matrix through its dual-functional structure.
[0082] Graphene oxide is used as a functional filler. By introducing 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine to form a bionic lipid bilayer, the dispersibility and interfacial bonding strength are improved. Subsequently, the chemical stability and thermal stability of graphene oxide are further enhanced by chemical modification with 3-glycidylpropyltrimethoxysilane, and it is endowed with thermosensitive intelligent response ability by grafting with poly (N-isopropylacrylamide), thereby optimizing the conductivity and thermal management performance.
[0083] Carbon nanotubes, as another filler, need to be treated with plasma to introduce polar functional groups to enhance interfacial bonding; magnesium hydroxide is then deposited on its surface by chemical precipitation to form a core-shell structure, constructing a physical flame retardant barrier for endothermic decomposition and gas dilution. n-octyl phosphite is further introduced for modification to form a ternary synergistic flame retardant system based on magnesium hydroxide, which significantly improves the flame retardant performance and carbonization ability.
[0084] In the whole system, the two-dimensional sheet structure of graphene oxide and the one-dimensional rod structure of carbon nanotubes complement each other in geometric morphology, constructing a stable three-dimensional network structure and significantly improving the mechanical properties of the composite material. The two also show synergistic effects in flame retardancy: the sheet barrier effect of graphene oxide and the endothermic decomposition of magnesium hydroxide on the surface of carbon nanotubes jointly construct a multi-layer flame retardant barrier, further enhancing the thermal stability and fire resistance of the material.

[0105] Table 1: Performance test results of the environmentally friendly polypropylene-based composite materials of Examples 1-4 and Comparative Examples 1-6
[0106] From the test results of Example 1, Comparative Example 1, and Comparative Example 2, it can be seen that graphene oxide itself forms a dense expanded carbonized layer through lamellar stacking during combustion, playing a role in heat insulation and oxygen isolation. 1,2-Dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine forms a lipid bilayer structure on the surface of graphene oxide, enhancing its dispersibility and interfacial binding force in the polypropylene matrix. Excessive 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine may cause high coverage on the surface of graphene oxide, affecting the stacking of its lamellae and the formation of the heat conduction path, thereby reducing the mechanical properties and flame retardancy; if the amount is insufficient, incomplete coverage of the lipid layer will lead to a decrease in the dispersibility and interfacial binding force of graphene oxide in the polypropylene matrix, significantly weakening the enhancement effect of the mechanical properties and reducing the flame retardancy.
[0107] From the test results of Example 1 and Comparative Example 3 and Comparative Example 4, it can be seen that hexafluorocyclotriphosphazene in the metal coordination modifier enhances the interfacial compatibility with the polypropylene matrix through chemical bonding with silane coupling agent KH560 and acrylic acid. At the same time, components such as 4-aminophenol and zinc chloride are introduced to promote the cross-linking behavior of the material, enhance the structural integrity and thermal stability of the composite material. Excessive use of it will cause excessive cross-linking of the polypropylene matrix, reduce its toughness, and affect the mechanical properties. At the same time, excessive catalytic charring may lead to too much char layer, affecting the integrity of the material; if the amount used is insufficient, the decomposition products are not enough to form an effective expanded char layer, and the flame retardant performance will decline.
[0108] From the test results of Example 1 and Comparative Example 5 and Comparative Example 6, it can be seen that the addition of multi-level flame retardant modified carbon nanotubes can improve the mechanical properties and flame retardant properties of polypropylene composites through the three-level structures of "core", "shell" and "brush". When its content is too high, it will cause uneven dispersion in the matrix, form aggregates, and reduce the stress transfer efficiency and flame retardant properties; when its content is too low, a continuous reinforcement network cannot be formed, and the improvement of mechanical properties and flame retardant properties is limited.
