Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of polymer materials, and particularly relates to a preparation method and application of a nylon heat-resistant agent. Background Art

[0002] Nylon (PA) is a type of polymer containing amide groups (-CO-NH-) in its molecular chain. It is currently the engineering plastic with the largest output and the widest application fields. Due to the amide groups in its molecular chain, it can form hydrogen bond interactions, and the molecular chain structure is regular, so it has relatively high strength and modulus. According to the different molecular structures of nylon, it can be divided into aliphatic nylon and aromatic nylon. Among them, the main component in the molecular chain of aliphatic nylon is methylene. It has good toughness, excellent processing performance, and high cost performance, and has been widely used in fields such as aerospace, electrical equipment, and the automotive industry. The main varieties include PA6, PA66, PA1010, PA11, PA12, etc. Compared with aromatic nylon, aliphatic nylon has a strong price advantage, high comprehensive performance, excellent processing performance, easy access to raw materials, and wider application. With the miniaturization and lightweight of automobiles and the high-performance of electrical equipment, higher requirements are put forward for its strength, heat resistance, etc. However, compared with other engineering plastics, aliphatic nylon has a lower heat distortion temperature and poor heat resistance, and cannot meet the application requirements in high-heat fields such as automotive engines, fuel systems, battery pack systems, and electrical equipment. Therefore, it is of great significance to carry out heat resistance modification on it. Commonly used nylon heat resistance modification methods at home and abroad are divided into two types: chemical method and physical method. The chemical method mainly uses synthetic methods to introduce aromatic heterocycles or polar groups into the nylon main chain to increase the molecular chain rigidity or carry out molecular chain cross-linking. For example, aromatic nylon is prepared by polycondensation. Due to the benzene ring structure in the molecular chain, the movement and rotation of the molecular chain are hindered, and it has relatively high mechanical strength, glass transition temperature, and heat distortion temperature. The main varieties include PA6T, PA9T, and PPTA, etc. However, aromatic nylon is expensive, has too high a melting point, is difficult to process and form, requires high production equipment, and most can only be used for the production of synthetic fibers, and it is difficult to achieve popularization and utilization. The radiation of the cross-linking method has relatively strict requirements for safety protection, which is not conducive to industrial production. The physical method usually uses a blending method, including fiber reinforcement, adding inorganic powders, blending with engineering plastics with higher heat resistance, heat-resistant agents or chain extenders with reactive groups such as PC, PPO, St-MAH, MPBO, BOZ, etc. However, the existing methods all have the problem of poor compatibility between the blend and PA. In particular, the addition of fibers, powders, etc. is likely to cause phenomena such as floating fibers and agglomeration, which greatly limits the application range of the products. For products with high surface requirements or extrusion molding, it is difficult to promote and apply. Based on the above research background, it becomes particularly important to prepare a PA heat-resistant agent with good compatibility, good heat resistance effect, and simple preparation and to prepare a high-heat-resistant PA composition.
