Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of polymer materials, and particularly relates to a polymer composite material containing nanofibers and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] With the development of science and technology and the improvement of people's living standards, people's demand for various materials has gradually increased, and various plastic products have gradually come into people's view. Plastic is a polymer compound made of monomers through addition or condensation reactions. It is mainly composed of synthetic resins and various additives. Among many polymer materials, polypropylene has become one of the preferred materials in plastic production due to its good chemical stability, low density, good electrical insulation, odorlessness and non-toxicity. It is widely used in home appliances, packaging, medical care, automobiles and other fields.

[0003] However, the presence of tertiary carbon-hydrogen bonds in its molecular structure makes it susceptible to free radical reactions under the influence of ultraviolet light, oxygen, and heat, leading to molecular chain breakage and oxidative degradation. This degradation is directly manifested as a decrease in the material's tensile strength and elongation at break. Furthermore, polypropylene is a flammable material and will quickly ignite when exposed to open flames or high temperatures, making it prone to fire and posing a significant safety hazard. Furthermore, the combustion process of polypropylene produces large amounts of heat, smoke, and toxic gases, which not only threaten human life and property safety but also have a serious impact on the environment. Therefore, polypropylene plastic still has certain shortcomings in practical applications.

[0004] To improve flame retardancy, DOPO-based flame retardants are currently used. However, their molecular structure results in low flame retardancy. Furthermore, DOPO-based flame retardants have poor compatibility with non-polar polymers like polyolefins, easily agglomerating and migrating to the material surface, further reducing flame retardancy. They also affect the interfacial properties with the polymer matrix, accelerating material aging, leading to performance degradation and shortened lifespan. Antioxidant technology for polypropylene aging also has shortcomings. These antioxidants are prone to volatilization and loss during high-temperature processing, resulting in suboptimal long-term anti-aging effects. Due to their poor compatibility with polymers, they are prone to migration and precipitation, affecting the material's appearance and long-term stability.

[0005] Chinese patent application CN110903548A discloses a polypropylene-glass fiber composite material. The composite material is composed of a polypropylene masterbatch, glass fiber, polypropylene fiber, a coupling agent, and maleic anhydride-grafted polypropylene. The weight percentages are: 40%-42% polypropylene masterbatch, 36%-38% glass fiber, 10%-12% polypropylene fiber, 2%-4% coupling agent, and 6%-10% maleic anhydride-grafted polypropylene. The polypropylene masterbatch comprises T30S and EPS30R in a 1:1 weight ratio. The polypropylene-glass fiber composite material is produced by twin-screw coextrusion. This invention improves the mechanical properties and heat resistance of the polypropylene-glass fiber composite material, achieving a modulus comparable to that of wooden formwork. The resulting product is less prone to deformation and bending, and reduces production costs. However, this patent fails to significantly improve the flame retardancy and UV aging resistance of the polypropylene material. Chinese patent application CN118421011A discloses a fiber-reinforced flame-retardant polypropylene composite material, its preparation method, and its application. The fiber-reinforced flame-retardant polypropylene composite material comprises the following components by weight: 4-30 parts polypropylene, 10-30 parts flame retardant, 3-10 parts flame retardant synergist, 5-20 parts modifier, 3-8 parts compatibilizer, and 35-50 parts glass fiber. This invention, by introducing a modifier as a component into the material and compounding specific polypropylene, flame retardant, flame retardant synergist, and compatibilizer, can improve the impregnation effect of the glass fiber, avoid obvious appearance defects in the material, and prevent the material from decreasing in flame retardant efficiency. It can also effectively improve the interlaminar shear strength after the material is laid, thereby giving the composite material the advantages of light weight, high strength, good appearance, high flame retardant efficiency, and good mechanical properties. However, this patent does not improve the UV aging resistance of polypropylene.

[0006] Therefore, how to achieve high-efficiency flame retardancy and excellent aging resistance while maintaining or improving the original excellent mechanical properties of polymer composites as much as possible and avoiding the negative impact caused by the addition of additives is a key issue that needs to be urgently addressed in the current field of polymer material modification. Summary of the Invention

[0007] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention aims to provide a polymer composite material containing nanofibers and a preparation method thereof.

[0008] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: A polymer composite material containing nanofibers, comprising the following raw materials in parts by weight: 90-100 parts of polypropylene, 10-15 parts of nylon 6, 13-16 parts of modified flame retardant, 4-7 parts of modified carbon nanotubes, 3-5 parts of compatibilizer, 0.5-0.8 parts of antioxidant, and 0.3-0.5 parts of lubricant.

[0009] Preferably, a polymer composite material containing nanofibers comprises the following raw materials, by weight: 95-100 parts of polypropylene, 10-13 parts of nylon 6, 13-18 parts of modified flame retardant, 4-6 parts of modified carbon nanotubes, 3-4 parts of compatibilizer, 0.5-0.7 parts of antioxidant, and 0.4-0.5 parts of lubricant.

[0010] In the present invention, polypropylene and nylon are used as the base materials, modified flame retardants and modified carbon nanotubes prepared by a specific method are added, and compatibilizers, antioxidants and lubricants are added. This allows the composite material to maintain good processing performance while comprehensively improving flame retardancy, mechanical properties, and weather and aging resistance.

[0011] Preferably, the preparation method of the modified flame retardant is as follows: S1, adding ammonium polyphosphate to anhydrous ethanol, then adding sodium lauryl sulfate, stirring evenly to obtain an ammonium polyphosphate suspension; then adding titanium dioxide sol dropwise to the ammonium polyphosphate suspension under stirring, stirring and reacting after the addition is completed, aging after the reaction is completed, then filtering, washing, and drying to obtain composite ammonium polyphosphate; S2, adding the composite ammonium polyphosphate prepared in step S1 to an ethanol aqueous solution, then adding γ-glycidyloxypropyltrimethoxysilane, and reacting at a constant temperature. After the reaction is completed, filtering, washing, and drying to obtain silane-modified ammonium polyphosphate; S3. Add butanone to the silane-modified ammonium polyphosphate in step S2, and then add 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-4-piperidinol and triethylamine to carry out a ring-opening reaction. After the reaction is completed, filter, wash, and dry to obtain a modified flame retardant.

[0012] Preferably, the mass ratio of ammonium polyphosphate, sodium lauryl sulfate, and anhydrous ethanol in step S1 is 80-90:2-3:1000, the mass ratio of the ammonium polyphosphate suspension and the titanium dioxide sol is 1000:200-300, the stirring reaction temperature is 30-40°C, the time is 2-4h, the aging temperature is 20-25°C, and the time is 12-16h; the preparation method of the titanium dioxide sol is as follows: 15-20g of tetrabutyl titanate is added to 200-300g of anhydrous ethanol, followed by dropwise addition of 1.5-2g of deionized water, and stirring at 500-800r / min for 1-2h.

[0013] In the present invention, sodium dodecyl sulfate is used as a dispersant, and titanium dioxide sol is uniformly coated on the surface of ammonium polyphosphate in an anhydrous ethanol medium to form a composite ammonium polyphosphate with a core-shell structure. This not only utilizes the ultraviolet shielding and potential flame retardant synergistic effects of TiO2 to protect the ammonium polyphosphate, but also provides abundant hydroxyl active sites on its surface.

[0014] Preferably, in step S2, the mass ratio of the composite ammonium polyphosphate to γ-glycidyloxypropyltrimethoxysilane is 90-100:8-11, the temperature of the isothermal reaction is 60-70° C., and the time is 2-3 h.

[0015] In the present invention, epoxy groups are successfully introduced by reacting γ-glycidyloxypropyltrimethoxysilane with the TiO2 layer on the surface of the composite ammonium polyphosphate, providing active sites for subsequent reactions.

[0016] Preferably, in step S3, the mass ratio of silane-modified ammonium polyphosphate, 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-4-piperidinol, and triethylamine is 90-100:5.5-7.5:2-3, and the temperature of the ring-opening reaction is 60-70° C., and the time is 3-4 hours.

[0017] In this invention, a ring-opening reaction between epoxy groups and the alcoholic hydroxyl groups of 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-4-piperidinol allows the 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-4-piperidinol to be covalently bonded to the surface of the flame retardant particles. This effectively prevents its migration and volatilization loss within the polymer matrix, ensuring the long-term effectiveness of the anti-aging effect. Application of this modified flame retardant in composite materials not only effectively utilizes the intumescent flame retardant properties of ammonium polyphosphate, but the introduction of TiO2 also enhances the flame retardant effect by promoting charring and insulating against heat and oxygen. Furthermore, the grafted 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-4-piperidinol effectively captures free radicals generated by the degradation of the polymer under light and heat, significantly improving the weather resistance and service life of the composite material.

[0018] Preferably, the preparation method of the modified carbon nanotubes is as follows: The carbon nanotubes are added to concentrated nitric acid for immersion treatment to obtain pretreated carbon nanotubes after the treatment; the pretreated carbon nanotubes are then added to an ethanol aqueous solution, followed by the addition of γ-glycidyloxypropyltrimethoxysilane, and stirred for reaction. After the reaction is completed, the carbon nanotubes are filtered, washed, and dried to obtain epoxy carbon nanotubes; the epoxy carbon nanotubes are added to toluene, followed by the addition of 2-(2-hydroxy-5-benzyl)benzotriazole and triethylamine, and heated for reaction. After the reaction is completed, the carbon nanotubes are filtered, washed, and dried to obtain modified carbon nanotubes.

[0019] Preferably, the temperature of the immersion treatment is 40-50°C, and the time is 1-2h; the mass ratio of the pretreated carbon nanotubes and γ-glycidyloxypropyltrimethoxysilane is 50-60:4-7, the temperature of the stirring reaction is 60-70°C, and the time is 2-3h; the mass ratio of the epoxy carbon nanotubes, 2-(2-hydroxy-5-benzyl)benzotriazole, and triethylamine is 50-60:4-7:1-2, the temperature of the heating reaction is 70-80°C, and the time is 2-3h.

[0020] In the present invention, carbon nanotubes are impregnated with concentrated nitric acid to introduce oxygen-containing functional groups such as carboxyl and hydroxyl groups onto the surface of the carbon nanotubes. Subsequently, these oxygen-containing functional groups are reacted with γ-glycidyloxypropyltrimethoxysilane to covalently bond epoxy groups to the surface of the carbon nanotubes. Finally, the epoxy groups react with the phenolic hydroxyl groups of 2-(2-hydroxy-5-benzyl)benzotriazole to successfully graft 2-(2-hydroxy-5-benzyl)benzotriazole molecules onto the surface of the carbon nanotubes, thereby achieving dual functionalization of the carbon nanotube surface. 2-(2-hydroxy-5-benzyl)benzotriazole is fixed to carbon nanotubes through covalent bonds, avoiding its migration and precipitation, and improving the durability and efficiency of its ultraviolet absorption in the composite material; on the one hand, the modified carbon nanotubes can effectively enhance the tensile strength, flexural strength and other mechanical indicators of the composite material by virtue of their excellent mechanical properties; on the other hand, the grafted (2-hydroxy-5-benzyl)benzotriazole gives the carbon nanotubes excellent ultraviolet absorption ability, which can protect the polymer matrix from ultraviolet light degradation and further improve the weather resistance of the material.

[0021] The present invention also protects a method for preparing the above-mentioned polymer composite material containing nanofibers, comprising the following steps: The raw materials are weighed according to the formula, added into a high-speed mixer, mixed evenly, and then granulated by twin-screw extrusion to obtain the polymer composite material containing nanofibers.

[0022] Preferably, the mixing speed is 700-900 r / min, the mixing time is 5-10 min; and the extrusion temperature is 230-250°C.

[0023] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: (1) The polymer composite material containing nanofibers provided by the present invention is prepared by blending polypropylene with nylon 6 and adding modified flame retardants and modified carbon nanotubes prepared by a specific method, synergistic compatibilizers and other auxiliary agents. The composite material effectively overcomes the defects of existing polypropylene materials such as easy degradation and flammability, and easy migration and failure of traditional flame retardants and antioxidants. While achieving high-efficiency flame retardancy and excellent weather and aging resistance (especially UV aging resistance), the mechanical properties of the material are maintained and improved, thus solving the problem that the existing technology is difficult to take into account multiple performance aspects and broadening the application range of polypropylene composite materials.

[0024] (2) The polymer composite material containing nanofibers provided by the present invention is added with a modified flame retardant, and ammonium polyphosphate is sequentially coated with titanium dioxide, γ-glycidyloxypropyltrimethoxysilane is introduced into an epoxy group, and the ammonium polyphosphate is subjected to a ring-opening reaction with 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-4-piperidinol, and the tetramethylpiperidinol group is grafted and fixed, thereby giving the flame retardant multiple functions. This modification method not only improves the thermal stability of APP through the TiO2 layer and may produce a flame retardant synergistic effect, but more importantly, the 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-4-piperidinol component is used as a flame retardant. The modified flame retardant is firmly anchored on the surface of the flame retardant particles in the form of covalent bonds, which effectively solves the problems of poor compatibility of traditional UV aging agents in polypropylene, easy volatilization loss during high-temperature processing, and easy migration and precipitation during long-term use, ensuring the long-term and stability of the anti-aging effect; at the same time, the modified flame retardant uses a specific preparation method to make ammonium polyphosphate have better flame retardant efficiency and compatibility with the polymer matrix, avoiding the performance degradation of the composite material and premature aging of the material due to the migration of the additive, and giving the composite material excellent flame retardancy and long-lasting aging resistance.

[0025] (3) The polymer composite material containing nanofibers provided by the present invention is prepared by pretreatment with concentrated nitric acid, grafting with epoxy groups, and ring-opening grafting and fixation with 2-(2-hydroxy-5-phenylmethyl)benzotriazole. This method allows 2-(2-hydroxy-5-phenylmethyl)benzotriazole to be stably grafted on the surface of the carbon nanotube in the form of a covalent bond, fundamentally solving the defects of traditional small molecule ultraviolet absorbers such as easy migration, easy volatility, and poor extraction resistance, and ensuring its long-lasting ultraviolet protection effect in the composite material. At the same time, the carbon nanotube itself is an excellent nanofiller, and its surface functionalization improves its dispersibility and interfacial compatibility in the polymer matrix, which can effectively exert its nano-enhancement effect and significantly improve the mechanical strength of the composite material. In addition, the introduction of modified carbon nanotubes not only strengthens the mechanical skeleton of the material, but also gives the material excellent and long-lasting ultraviolet aging resistance.

[0026] (4) The polymer composite material containing nanofibers provided by the present invention, the modified flame retardant and the modified carbon nanotubes can exert a significant synergistic enhancement effect in the polymer matrix; in terms of flame retardancy, the modified ammonium polyphosphate serves as the main intumescent flame retardant and forms an intumescent carbon layer during combustion, while the modified carbon nanotubes, due to their good thermal stability and network structure, can enhance the structural strength and density of the intumescent carbon layer, effectively prevent molten dripping, and further isolate the transfer of heat and combustible gas; in terms of weather resistance and anti-aging, the physical shielding of TiO2 on the surface of the modified flame retardant and the chemical free radical capture function of the 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-4-piperidine group, combined with the ultraviolet absorption function of the benzotriazole group on the surface of the modified carbon nanotubes, can synergistically improve the anti-ultraviolet performance of the composite material, and the effect is far better than that of a single additive. The presence of the two modified filler surface functional groups can promote the uniform dispersion and interface compatibility of the filler in the matrix through interaction with the compatibilizer and the polymer matrix, thereby also having a positive effect on the mechanical properties of the composite material.
