Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of polystyrene, in particular to a method for preparing an impact-resistant polystyrene extruded plate. Background Art

[0002] Extruded polystyrene boards are lightweight, have low water absorption, offer excellent thermal insulation, and provide superior sound insulation, making them widely used in building materials, petrochemicals, and other fields. Traditional polystyrene boards suffer from low impact resistance and flammability. Blending polystyrene with wood flour can produce wood-plastic materials with excellent flame retardancy and high mechanical strength. To improve the compatibility of wood flour and polystyrene, the wood flour is typically modified with silane coupling agents, maleic anhydride, or a compatibilizer such as maleic anhydride-grafted polystyrene is added.

[0003] Adding elastomers to polystyrene sheets can improve their toughness, impact strength, and other properties. SBS (styrene-butadiene-styrene block copolymer) is a high-performance elastomer with a wide range of applications. Functional SBS materials can be obtained by reacting or grafting SBS with chloromethylating agents, maleic anhydride, acrylates, and other substances. Chinese patent CN109294087B discloses a modified polystyrene material and its preparation method. Using polystyrene, star-shaped SBS, and a core-shell toughening agent as raw materials, the resulting modified polystyrene exhibits advantages such as good impact strength and melt flowability. However, the modified polystyrene lacks flame retardancy. Summary of the Invention

[0004] Technical problem to be solved: The present invention provides a method for preparing an impact-resistant polystyrene extruded board, which solves the problem that the polystyrene extruded board is easy to burn and has low impact strength.

[0005] Technical solution: A method for preparing impact-resistant polystyrene extruded board:

[0006] (1) Chloromethylated SBS is added to the reaction solvent, and after stirring, 5-carboxy-3-amino-1,2,4-triazole and a catalyst are added, and the mixture is stirred for reaction. Ethanol is added to the solution for precipitation, and the mixture is filtered, washed with water and ethanol, and dried to obtain modified SBS.

[0007] (2) 65-80 parts by weight of polystyrene resin, 20-35 parts by weight of wood flour, 5-15 parts by weight of modified SBS, 1.2-1.7 parts by weight of auxiliary agent, 2-3 parts by weight of nucleating agent, 2-4 parts by weight of flame retardant, and 0.4-0.6 parts by weight of antioxidant are added into a mixer and mixed, and then extruded through a twin-screw extruder, and finally extruded and foamed in a single-screw extruder to obtain an impact-resistant polystyrene extruded board.

[0008] Furthermore, the auxiliary agent includes azodicarbonamide.

[0009] Furthermore, the nucleating agent includes talc.

[0010] Furthermore, the flame retardant includes triphenyl phosphate.

[0011] Furthermore, the antioxidant includes antioxidant 1010, antioxidant 1076 or antioxidant 168.

[0012] Furthermore, the reaction solvent in (1) includes toluene or xylene.

[0013] Furthermore, the reaction temperature in (1) is 80-110°C, and the reaction time is 24-36h.

[0014] Furthermore, the mass ratio of chloromethylated SBS, 5-carboxy-3-amino-1,2,4-triazole, and catalyst in (1) is 100:(20-70):(26-94).

[0015] Furthermore, the catalyst in (1) includes sodium carbonate or potassium carbonate.

[0016] Furthermore, (2) the temperature of zones 1-6 of the twin-screw extruder of the medium-screw extruder is 165-210°C, and the screw speed is 60-100 r / min. The temperature of zones 1-3 of the single-screw extruder is 150-180°C, and the screw speed is 50-80 r / min.

[0017] Furthermore, the preparation method of chloromethylated SBS is as follows: 100 parts by weight of SBS styrene-butadiene-styrene block copolymer and 12-30 parts by weight of tin chloride are added to toluene, 16-40 parts by weight of 1,4-bis(chloromethoxy)-butane are added dropwise after stirring, and the mixture is reacted at 15-20° C. for 4-6 hours. Ethanol is added to the solution for precipitation, and the mixture is filtered, washed with water, and dried to obtain chloromethylated SBS.

[0018] Beneficial technical effects: The present invention involves a substitution reaction between the chloromethyl group of chloromethylated SBS and the amino group of 5-carboxyl-3-amino-1,2,4-triazole to obtain a modified SBS, which is then extruded and foamed with a polystyrene resin, wood powder, a triphenyl phosphate flame retardant, and additives to produce an impact-resistant polystyrene extruded board. The modified SBS has a side chain containing carboxyl groups that can form hydrogen bonds with the hydroxyl groups on the surface of the wood powder, thereby allowing the modified SBS to be modified and coated on the surface of the wood powder. Since the SBS styrene-butadiene-styrene block copolymer has good compatibility with the polystyrene resin, the compatibility between the wood powder and the polystyrene resin is improved, and the interfacial strength between the two is enhanced, which is beneficial for improving the mechanical properties of the extruded board, exhibiting higher impact strength and flexural strength.

[0019] The triazole structure introduced into the modified SBS side chain of the present invention forms a nitrogen-phosphorus flame retardant with triphenyl phosphate, which generates nitrogen and other gases during combustion, promotes the formation of an expanded carbon layer in the extruded board, and improves the limiting oxygen index and flame retardancy of the extruded board.

[0043] Table 1 Performance test of polystyrene extruded board

[0044]

[0045] Examples 1-4 incorporate modified SBS, whose side chains contain carboxyl groups that can form hydrogen bonds with hydroxyl groups on the surface of wood powder, thereby modifying the modified SBS on the wood powder surface. Since the SBS styrene-butadiene-styrene block copolymer has good compatibility with polystyrene resin, this improves the compatibility between the wood powder and the polystyrene resin, enhancing the interfacial strength between the two, which helps improve the mechanical properties of the extruded board, exhibiting higher impact strength and flexural strength. Furthermore, the triazole structure introduced into the side chains of the modified SBS forms a nitrogen-phosphorus flame retardant with triphenyl phosphate. Upon combustion, the generated nitrogen and other gases dilute oxygen, promoting the formation of an expanded char layer in the extruded board, resulting in a better flame retardant effect and a higher limiting oxygen index.

[0046] Comparative Example 1 incorporated only standard SBS styrene-butadiene-styrene block copolymer, which lacks carboxyl groups and cannot form hydrogen bonds with the hydroxyl groups on the wood powder surface, failing to improve the compatibility between the wood powder and the polystyrene resin. Consequently, the extruded board exhibited low impact and flexural strength. Furthermore, the SBS styrene-butadiene-styrene block copolymer lacks a triazole structure, failing to form a nitrogen-phosphorus flame retardant system. This resulted in a low limiting oxygen index for the extruded board.

[0047] Comparative Example 2 incorporates chloromethylated SBS, which lacks carboxyl groups and cannot form hydrogen bonds with the hydroxyl groups on the wood flour surface, failing to improve the compatibility between the wood flour and the polystyrene resin. Consequently, the extruded board exhibits low impact and flexural strength. Furthermore, the SBS styrene-butadiene-styrene block copolymer lacks a triazole structure, failing to form a nitrogen-phosphorus flame retardant system. This results in a low limiting oxygen index for the extruded board.

[0048] In Comparative Example 3, 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole was reacted with chloromethylated SBS. The resulting modified SBS did not contain carboxyl groups and could not form hydrogen bonds with the hydroxyl groups on the surface of the wood powder. Therefore, the compatibility between the wood powder and the polystyrene resin could not be improved, resulting in low impact strength and flexural strength of the extruded board.

[0049] In Comparative Example 4, β-alanine was reacted with chloromethylated SBS to obtain a modified SBS that did not contain a triazole structure and did not form a nitrogen-phosphorus flame retardant system, resulting in a lower limiting oxygen index of the extruded board.

[0050] The present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments. Any modification, improvement, or substitution that can be conceived by those skilled in the art without departing from the essential content of the present invention shall fall within the scope of the present invention.
