Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of polymer material processing, and particularly relates to a carboxylated nitrile rubber toughened polyvinylidene fluoride composite material, a preparation method thereof, and an application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) plastics have excellent properties such as corrosion resistance, high temperature resistance, low friction, good insulation, non-stickiness, and weather resistance, and are widely used in fields such as chemical industry, electronics, medical treatment, and new energy. However, its inherent high crystallinity results in poor flexibility and toughness, and it is particularly prone to brittle fracture in low-temperature environments, which limits the popularization of PVDF plastics in engineering applications that require good ductility, such as impact-resistant structural materials, flexible films, or highly tough adhesives.

[0003] Rubber-plastic melt blending modification is an effective means for preparing toughened PVDF. At present, there are reports on toughening PVDF with various rubbers including acrylate rubber (ACM), fluororubber (FKM), natural rubber (NR), and thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU). However, the solubility parameters of PVDF plastics and most rubbers / elastomers are quite different, resulting in poor compatibility. If the two components are simply physically blended, there is a tendency for the two components to aggregate and phase separate, and it is difficult to form a super-dispersed and small-particle-size rubber particle dispersed phase with good toughening effect, thus the toughening efficiency of the rubber component cannot be fully exerted, and at the same time, the strength and processing and molding stability of PVDF plastics may be significantly reduced.

[0004] Chinese patent document with publication number CN106854328A discloses a toughened modified polyvinylidene fluoride composite material for injection extrusion molding and a preparation method thereof. In this invention, PVDF is toughened and modified with a thermoplastic resin, and the thermoplastic resin is selected from ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA), acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene terpolymer (ABS), thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), polyethylene glycol (PEG), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), or polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), etc. Chinese patent document with publication number CN105591054A discloses a toughened modified polyvinylidene fluoride-based lithium ion battery separator and a preparation method thereof. In this invention, acrylic rubber (ACM) is used to modify polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) to improve its toughness. In the above inventions, there may be problems with component compatibility.

[0005] A Chinese patent document with publication number CN102702404A discloses a method for preparing a polyvinylidene fluoride material, wherein a polybutadiene rubber component is added to the monomer vinylidene fluoride, and then a toughened polyvinylidene fluoride material is prepared by free radical bulk polymerization, wherein the polybutadiene rubber component includes low-cis polybutadiene rubber, or a composite rubber of low-cis polybutadiene and high-cis polybutadiene, and the initiation system uses peroxide thermal initiation polymerization. However, the preparation method of the invention is complicated and has high process requirements.

[0006] In addition, PVDF is chemically inert and it is difficult to introduce reactive groups through a melt grafting method similar to polyolefins, so it cannot form a chemical connection with ordinary rubber dispersed phases. Therefore, it is urgent to develop an ultra-tough and flexible PVDF composite material with simple preparation process and good component compatibility. Summary of the invention

[0007] In order to solve the deficiencies in the above-mentioned prior art, the present invention provides a carboxylated nitrile rubber toughened polyvinylidene fluoride composite material, which realizes the high performance of the modified polyvinylidene fluoride composite material and prepares an ultra-tough and flexible PVDF composite material.

[0008] The specific technical solutions adopted are as follows:

[0009] A carboxylated nitrile rubber toughened polyvinylidene fluoride composite material, comprising the following components in parts by weight:

[0010]

[0011] The compatibilizer is a methyl methacrylate copolymer containing reactive functional groups, the reactive functional groups are at least one of epoxy groups, amino groups and hydroxyl groups, and the molecular weight of the compatibilizer is 5000-100000Da.

[0012] Further preferably, the carboxylated nitrile rubber toughened polyvinylidene fluoride composite material comprises the following components in parts by weight:

[0013]

[0014] On the one hand, carboxylated nitrile rubber (XNBR) is a functional special rubber that has the excellent properties of nitrile rubber (NBR) and contains polar carboxyl functional groups that can react chemically. On the other hand, polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) has a certain compatibility with PVDF. If epoxy groups that can react with carboxyl groups can be introduced into the PMMA structure, it will have the potential to undergo a grafting reaction with XNBR, and it is expected to generate PMMA-g-NBR macromolecular "surfactant", which can effectively improve the compatibility between PVDF and XNBR and the interfacial bonding strength.

[0015] Therefore, the present invention adopts a methyl methacrylate copolymer containing a reactive functional group, and uses a commercial carboxylated nitrile rubber (XNBR) in combination, and utilizes the reaction of epoxy, amino, hydroxyl and carboxyl groups in the melt blending process to form a PMMA-g-NBR macromolecular "surfactant", thereby improving the dispersion state and interfacial bonding between the PVDF and XNBR phases. In addition, it is preferred to introduce a dynamic vulcanization process in the blending process, form a more stable high-viscosity rubber dispersed phase through a cross-linking reaction rubber phase, improve its dispersion uniformity in the PVDF matrix, enhance the dimensional stability, heat resistance and mechanical properties of the material, and the present invention realizes the high performance of PVDF / XNBR rubber-plastic composite materials, and provides a new technical approach for developing ultra-tough and flexible PVDF composite materials.

[0016] Furthermore, the polyvinylidene fluoride resin is selected from at least one of polyvinylidene fluoride homopolymer, polyvinylidene fluoride-hexafluoropropylene copolymer, and polyvinylidene fluoride-chlorotrifluoroethylene copolymer.

[0017] Preferably, the polyvinylidene fluoride resin is a polyvinylidene fluoride homopolymer.

[0018] Furthermore, the carboxylated nitrile rubber is a nitrile rubber having a carboxyl mass content of 0.01%-5%, and the carboxyl mass content is preferably 0.01%-1%.

[0019] Furthermore, the compatibilizer is a methyl methacrylate-glycidyl methacrylate copolymer, which is formed by copolymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA) and glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) active monomers, and has a molecular weight of preferably 5000-20000Da.

[0020] Preferably, the compatibilizer is a methyl methacrylate-glycidyl methacrylate copolymer having a molar content of glycidyl methacrylate structural units of 1% to 8%.

[0021] Furthermore, the vulcanizing agent is peroxide, sulfur, a sulfur-containing compound or a phenolic resin.

[0022] Preferably, the peroxide is selected from at least one of peroxydibenzoic acid, diisopropylbenzene peroxide, di-tert-butyl peroxide, and 2,5-dimethyl-2,5-bis(tert-butylperoxy)hexane; the sulfur-containing compound is selected from at least one of tetramethylthiuram disulfide, dipentamethylenethiuram tetrasulfide, 4-(2-benzothiazolyldithio)morpholine, tetraethylthiuram disulfide, tetrabutylthiuram disulfide, and tetramethylthiuram tetrasulfide; and the phenolic resin is selected from at least one of p-tert-butylphenol formaldehyde resin, octylphenolformaldehyde vulcanized resin, and halogenated octylphenolformaldehyde vulcanized resin.

[0023] More preferably, the vulcanizing agent is dicumyl peroxide.

[0024] The present invention also provides a method for preparing the carboxylated nitrile rubber toughened polyvinylidene fluoride composite material, comprising the following steps:

[0025] (1) Mixing polyvinylidene fluoride resin, carboxylated nitrile rubber and compatibilizer, or mixing polyvinylidene fluoride resin, carboxylated nitrile rubber, compatibilizer and vulcanizing agent in proportion to obtain a mixture;

[0026] (2) Melting and processing the mixture by a twin-screw extruder, with the screw speed of the twin-screw extruder being 100 - 400 rpm and the processing temperature of each zone being 140 - 280 °C, and forming the carboxylated nitrile rubber toughened polyvinylidene fluoride composite material by extrusion or injection molding process.

[0027] Aiming at the problem that the carboxylated nitrile rubber raw material is in large pieces and is extremely easy to adhere into large pieces after being chopped, which affects the stability of the material during the twin-screw extrusion process, preferably, in step (1), after dividing the polyvinylidene fluoride resin into the first part of polyvinylidene fluoride resin and the second part of polyvinylidene fluoride resin, the carboxylated nitrile rubber and the first part of polyvinylidene fluoride resin are intensively mixed to obtain a toughened masterbatch, and the toughened masterbatch, the second part of polyvinylidene fluoride resin and the compatibilizer, or the toughened masterbatch, the second part of polyvinylidene fluoride resin, the compatibilizer and the vulcanizing agent are mixed evenly to obtain a mixture.

[0028] Preferably, the screw speed of the twin-screw extruder is 200 - 400 rpm.

[0029] Preferably, the processing temperature of each zone of the twin-screw extruder is ±40 °C of the melting point of polyvinylidene fluoride, and more preferably 160 - 240 °C.

[0030] The inventor found in the experiment that the carboxylated nitrile rubber / polyvinylidene fluoride composite material compatibilized by methyl methacrylate-glycidyl methacrylate copolymer has stable production during the twin-screw extrusion water-cooled strand pelletizing process, emits less odor during the production process, has small fluctuations in the test results of the mechanical properties of the sample bars, and has higher melt stability in the processing equipment. This may be because the methyl methacrylate-glycidyl methacrylate copolymer with a number-average molecular weight of 5000 - 20000 Da has both good melt flow and thermal stability and no small molecule residues, and is very suitable for the carboxylated nitrile rubber toughened polyvinylidene fluoride composite material system with a processing temperature > 220 °C. In addition, the methyl methacrylate-glycidyl methacrylate copolymer has good compatibility with polyvinylidene fluoride, and its epoxy group can react with carboxylated nitrile rubber, which can better reduce the interfacial tension between the two phases of polyvinylidene fluoride and carboxylated nitrile rubber, thereby improving the melt uniformity and processing stability of the carboxylated nitrile rubber toughened polyvinylidene fluoride composite material.

[0031] The present invention also provides the application of the carboxylated nitrile rubber toughened polyvinylidene fluoride composite material in the field of new energy or flexible electronic devices, and it can be used as a separator or binder for new energy batteries, etc.

[0032] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0033] (1) The present invention uses a methyl methacrylate-glycidyl methacrylate copolymer to compatibilize the polyvinylidene fluoride / carboxylated nitrile rubber composite material, improves the compatibility between the two, reduces the particle size of the rubber dispersed phase, and enhances the interfacial interaction strength between the two phases, thereby improving the tensile strength and elongation at break of the composite material.

[0034] (2) The present invention further uses a dynamic vulcanization process to regulate the phase morphology of the methyl methacrylate-glycidyl methacrylate copolymer compatibilized polyvinylidene fluoride / carboxylated nitrile rubber composite material, and synergistically improves the comprehensive performance of the carboxylated nitrile rubber toughened polyvinylidene fluoride composite material through the compatibilization and dynamic vulcanization processes.

[0045]

[0046] The methyl methacrylate - glycidyl methacrylate copolymer (PMG) compatibilizer was prepared with reference to the method of Patent CN117024641A, a copolymerization type compatibilizer and its green synthesis method. Using molten caprolactam (CL) as the reaction solvent, it was prepared by free radical copolymerization. The specific synthesis steps are as follows:

[0047] (1) Add 800 g of pre - dehydrated CL solvent, 200 g of MMA / GMA monomer mixture, 4.4 g of azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) initiator, and 2 g of dodecyl mercaptan chain transfer agent into a 1 - liter glass reaction kettle (equipped with a mechanical stirrer with a rotation speed set at 100 rpm) in sequence.

[0054] Comparative Examples 1-2 and Examples 1-10

[0055] Prepare the carboxylated nitrile rubber toughened polyvinylidene fluoride composite material of the example or the modified polyvinylidene fluoride composite material of the comparative example according to the feeding ratio in Table 2;

[0056] Regarding that the carboxylated nitrile rubber raw material is a large piece of rubber, which is extremely easy to adhere into a large piece after being chopped, affecting the stability of the material during the twin-screw extrusion process, in the present invention, after dividing the polyvinylidene fluoride resin (polyvinylidene fluoride homopolymer) into the first part of the polyvinylidene fluoride resin and the second part of the polyvinylidene fluoride resin, the carboxylated nitrile rubber and the first part of the polyvinylidene fluoride resin are mixed evenly by a kneader, then transferred to an open mill to be pressed into sheets, cut into particles with a length less than 2 mm, and prefabricated into XNBR / PVDF toughened masterbatch. The preparation method and process parameters of the carboxylated nitrile rubber toughened polyvinylidene fluoride composite material are as follows: Premix the XNBR / PVDF toughened masterbatch, the second part of the polyvinylidene fluoride resin, the PMG compatibilizer prepared in the above steps and the dicumyl peroxide (DCP) powder evenly, and then transfer them to a twin-screw extruder for granulation. The screw speed is set at 300 rpm, and the barrel temperature is set at 170 °C, 180 °C, 185 °C, 190 °C, 200 °C in sequence from the feed inlet to the die. The extruded pellets are the carboxylated nitrile rubber toughened polyvinylidene fluoride composite material. After drying, it is molded into a specimen meeting the ISO test standard by an injection molding machine. The injection molding processing temperature is set at 180 °C, 190 °C, 190 °C, 200 °C respectively from the hopper to the nozzle. Then, the tensile strength and elongation at break of the prepared sample are tested according to the ISO 527 standard.

[0057] Table 2. Mass formula and mechanical properties of comparative examples 1-2 and examples 1-10

[0058]

[0059] Examples 1-4 of the present invention demonstrate the compatibilization effect of PMG with different molar contents of GMA structural units on carboxylated nitrile rubber toughened polyvinylidene fluoride composite materials, and their average elongation at break are 235.0%, 252.5%, 213.0% and 150.0%, respectively, which are significantly higher than 29.7% of Comparative Example 1 (uncompatibilized and unvulcanized), indicating that PMG compatibilizers with a molar content of 1-8% of GMA structural units can effectively improve the compatibility of PVDF and XNBR, wherein the sample of Example 2 is a PMG-2 compatibilizer with a molar content of 2% of GMA structural units added, and its tensile strength (20.9MPa) and elongation at break (252.5%) are the largest. At the same time, in order to compare with Examples 1-4, a control experiment of PMMA is also performed, and the PMG compatibilizer in Examples 1-4 is replaced by PMMA of the same mass. The results show that its tensile strength is 15.2MPa and its elongation at break is 84.8%, which is significantly worse than that of Examples 1-4.

[0060] The samples of Comparative Example 1 and Example 2 were further subjected to liquid nitrogen brittle fracture and tetrahydrofuran etching and then SEM morphology observation was performed. The results are as follows: Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown. Tetrahydrofuran is a good solvent for XNBR. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The large number of "holes" left behind reflect the morphology and dispersion of the XNBR dispersed phase. The results show that the diameter of the "holes" of the sample of Example 2 after PMG-2 compatibilization is smaller and the hole edges are more blurred, indicating that the compatibilizer can indeed effectively refine and stabilize the XNBR dispersed phase, which is conducive to the smooth transmission of stress and thus shows a higher elongation at break. In addition, Example 2 is significantly better than Comparative Example 1 in terms of the stability of the extrusion granulation process (few broken strips during water-cooled drawing) and the appearance finish of the injection molded strips. These beneficial effects are all attributed to the better microscopic phase distribution brought by the PMG compatibilizer.

[0061] Examples 5-7 of the present invention demonstrate the compatibilization effects of different addition ratios of PMG-2 compatibilizer on the toughened polyvinylidene fluoride composites with carboxylated nitrile rubber. The average elongation at break values are 158.3%, 202.0% and 236.7% respectively, all higher than 29.67% of Comparative Example 1 (uncompatibilized and unvulcanized). This indicates that the PMG compatibilizer, especially PMG-2 compatibilizer, can effectively improve the compatibility between PVDF and XNBR within the corresponding addition ranges. It is worth mentioning that although the elongation at break of Example 7 with 21% PMG-2 added is slightly higher than that of Example 2, its tensile strength is relatively low. Moreover, the structure of PMG-2 is close to that of pure PMMA resin, and the addition of PMG compatibilizer should not be excessive.

[0062] Examples 8-9 of the present invention demonstrate the effect of further adding curing agent DCP for dynamic crosslinking based on the optimal formulation system of 14% PMG-2 compatibilized carboxylated nitrile rubber / polyvinylidene fluoride. Among them, the tensile strength of the sample in Example 9 increased to 21.4 MPa, and the elongation at break decreased but still remained at a relatively high level of 192.2%. This result shows that the dynamic vulcanization process and PMG compatibilization technology can synergistically improve the tensile strength of the toughened polyvinylidene fluoride composites with carboxylated nitrile rubber.

[0063] Furthermore, the samples of Example 2 (compatibilization scheme) and Example 9 (compatibilization + vulcanization synergistic scheme) were cryosectioned and stained with osmium tetroxide, and then subjected to microscopic phase morphology analysis by TEM. The results are shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5 respectively. In the TEM images, the dark phase is the PVDF phase, and the light phase is the XNBR phase. In Example 2, the XNBR did not form a quasi-spherical "island" phase with a regular morphology, while in Example 9, after dynamic vulcanization, the XNBR basically all formed "island" phases with relatively smaller particle sizes. This is because the viscosity of the vulcanized XNBR rubber particles increases sharply (even completely crosslinked, losing the ability of viscous flow) and is more inclined to be the dispersed phase, distributed in the "sea" phase of the low-viscosity PVDF. According to the common knowledge of those skilled in the art, it can be speculated that in the molten state of the sample in Example 9, the crosslinked XNBR rubber particles are less likely to fuse and become larger under low shear, nor will they disperse and become smaller under high shear, and will have better processing stability (the microscopic morphology and physical properties are less affected by processing parameters). This property has certain application advantages in the field of flexible electronic devices with stable performance and high molding accuracy.

[0064] In addition, the applicant observed the SEM morphology of the sample in Example 9 after being brittle fractured by liquid nitrogen and etched with tetrahydrofuran. The results are shown in Figure 3 respectively. Tetrahydrofuran is a good solvent for XNBR. The SEM image of the sample in Example 9 is different from that of the sample in Example 2 ( Figure 2), and its etched cross-section has no obvious holes, indicating that the XNBR phase in the sample of Example 9 is not dissolved in the tetrahydrofuran solvent. This is attributed to the fact that the XNBR dispersed phase forms a three-dimensional cross-linked network after being dynamically vulcanized by DCP, and a higher cross-linking density can effectively resist the dissolution and destruction of organic solvents. This result shows that on the basis of PMG compatibilization, the dynamic vulcanization process can improve the solvent resistance of carboxylated nitrile rubber toughened polyvinylidene fluoride composites, which is crucial for new energy battery binders and separator materials that are long and in contact with complex component electrolytes.
