Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of polymer material regeneration, in particular to a composite material based on recycled ABS and a preparation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] ABS (acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer), one of the world's most widely used thermoplastic engineering plastics, is widely used in electronics, automotive components, packaging, and other fields. However, with the surge in its consumption, a large amount of waste ABS plastic is difficult to directly recycle due to problems such as molecular chain breakage, oxidative degradation, and impurity contamination. Traditional landfill or incineration methods not only waste resources but also cause serious environmental pollution.
[0003] In the existing waste ABS recycling technology, patent CN202111560269.1 proposes to repair performance through in-situ chain extension reaction between chain extenders and molecular chain carboxyl functional groups. However, it only repairs the molecular chain for the carboxyl groups generated by aging, and does not fully consider the complex impurities such as oil stains, pigment residues, low molecular weight degradation products that may exist in waste ABS, as well as structural defects other than molecular chain breakage, such as cross-linking and changes in branching degree. Such limitations may lead to insufficient performance stability of recycled materials in special scenarios such as high temperature and high load, making it difficult to meet high-end application requirements.

[0012] A preparation method based on recycled ABS composite material specifically comprises the following steps: S1. Pretreatment of waste ABS Crushing: Use a low-temperature crusher to crush the waste ABS into particles of 0.5~1mm; Cleaning: ultrasonic cleaning at 80℃ for 30min to remove impurities, centrifugal dehydration and vacuum drying at 70℃ for 6h; Characterization: Use FTIR to detect the absorption peak intensity of surface impurities to ensure the cleaning effect; S2, in-situ chain extension and nanocomposite blending Initial mixing: Mix the pretreated ABS with antioxidant and lubricant in a high-speed mixer at 60°C for 10 minutes to form a basic mixture; Plasma surface modification: Place the base mixture in a low-temperature plasma treatment device, using argon as the working gas, and treat for 3 to 5 minutes; Chain extension reaction: Add bifunctional macromolecular chain extender and dynamic covalent bond chain extender, transfer to the modified twin-screw extruder, set up a pressure-bearing closed cavity in the reaction section, and inject supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO2) at a pressure of 5-8 MPa through a high-pressure pump during the chain extension reaction. Set a temperature gradient and the material residence time is 3-5 minutes; Nanofiller and deodorant blending: Functionalized nanofiller and composite deodorant are injected simultaneously into the side feed port in the middle of the extruder, and nanoscale dispersion is achieved through the shear force of the screw; 3D gradient structure construction: The blended materials are injected into a mold with a gradient temperature field control. The mold temperature is gradually reduced by 5-10°C from the inlet to the outlet. At the same time, a pressure of 0.5-1 MPa is applied to orient the montmorillonite nanofillers and form a composite material body with a 3D gradient structure. S3, post-processing and performance optimization Microwave-assisted post-treatment: Place the green body in a special microwave drying device for 1-2 hours to achieve rapid drying and dynamic covalent bond rearrangement; Extrusion granulation: The pellet diameter is 2~3mm.

[0015] Bifunctional macromolecular chain extender reaction: ABS molecular chains break at high temperature to produce carboxyl groups, and ADP hydrazide groups condense with carboxyl groups to form amide bonds, connecting the broken molecular chains and increasing the weight-average molecular weight.
[0016] Dynamic covalent chain extender reaction: In SC-CO2 medium, the borate ester bond reacts reversibly with the hydroxyl group on the ABS chain: At high temperatures, the bonds break reversibly, allowing the molecular chains to slip and reducing the melt viscosity; after cooling, the bonds are fixed to form a dynamic cross-linked network, which increases the elastic modulus of the material.
[0017] Synergistic effect of ADP and EGDMA: ADP preferentially repairs broken chains, restores the original chain structure of ABS, and reduces melt viscosity; EGDMA further extends the chain length and introduces cross-linking points, enhancing mechanical strength and thermal stability; the combination of the two realizes a "repair-extension-cross-linking" multi-stage reaction, taking into account both mechanical and processing properties.
[0018] The present invention provides a composite material based on recycled ABS and a preparation method thereof, which has the following beneficial effects: 1. Improved mechanical properties: Through the bifunctional macromolecular chain extender and supercritical carbon dioxide assisted chain extension reaction, the ABS molecular chain breakage defects are repaired. Combined with the 3D gradient structure formed by the directional arrangement of functional nanofillers, the tensile strength, impact toughness and heat resistance of the composite material are significantly improved, approaching the level of native ABS.
[0019] 2. High-efficiency deodorization and purification: The composite deodorizer effectively removes volatile organic compounds and odorous substances generated during the recycling process of waste ABS through physical adsorption and inclusion complexation, improves the odor of the material, and meets environmental protection standards and food contact grade application requirements.
[0020] 3. Enhanced compatibility and dispersibility: Low-temperature plasma surface modification pretreatment of ABS, combined with multi-layer modification of functionalized nanofillers, significantly improves the interfacial compatibility between the filler and the ABS matrix by introducing polar groups and polymer grafting, achieving nanoscale uniform dispersion and avoiding performance degradation caused by agglomeration.
[0021] 4. Environmentally friendly process and resource recycling: Energy-saving processes such as low-temperature crushing and microwave-assisted drying are used to reduce thermal degradation and energy consumption. No complex pretreatment equipment is required and it is compatible with existing twin-screw extrusion production lines, with lower energy consumption than traditional processes. Supercritical carbon dioxide is used as a green reaction medium and can be recycled and reused to reduce pollution. Recycling waste ABS can reduce the harm of plastic waste to the environment and promote the development of a circular economy for polymer materials. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Set a temperature gradient and the material residence time is 3-5 minutes; Nanofiller and deodorant blending: Functionalized nanofiller and composite deodorant are injected simultaneously into the side feed port in the middle of the extruder, and nanoscale dispersion is achieved through the shear force of the screw; 3D gradient structure construction: The blended materials are injected into a mold with a gradient temperature field control. The mold temperature is gradually reduced by 5-10°C from the inlet to the outlet. At the same time, a pressure of 0.5-1 MPa is applied to orient the montmorillonite nanofillers and form a composite material body with a 3D gradient structure. S3, post-processing and performance optimization Microwave-assisted post-treatment: Place the green body in a special microwave drying device for 1-2 hours to achieve rapid drying and dynamic covalent bond rearrangement; Extrusion granulation: The pellets have a diameter of 2~3mm.
