Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of thermoplastic composite materials, and particularly relates to a continuous glass fiber reinforced modified PET unidirectional prepreg tape and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] At present, the matrix resins of continuous glass fiber reinforced thermoplastic unidirectional prepreg tapes reported in the domestic market are mostly polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP) and polyamide (PA), among which continuous glass fiber reinforced PP unidirectional prepreg tapes are the most widely used, and there are few reports on continuous glass fiber reinforced polyethylene terephthalate (PET) unidirectional prepreg tapes.

[0003] PET is produced through the polycondensation reaction of terephthalic acid and ethylene glycol. Its molecular structure is linear, with high crystallinity, resulting in excellent mechanical properties, dimensional stability, and high-temperature resistance. Compared to traditional continuous glass fiber-reinforced PP unidirectional prepreg tapes, continuous glass fiber-reinforced PET unidirectional prepreg tapes offer superior mechanical properties and high-temperature resistance. However, the wetting compatibility between pure PET and glass fiber is poor, especially when the glass fiber content exceeds 30%. Even glass fiber treated with a silane coupling agent struggles to fully wet pure PET, resulting in a significant amount of dry yarn on the surface of the resulting continuous glass fiber-reinforced PET unidirectional prepreg tapes. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In response to the above-mentioned deficiencies in the prior art, the present application provides a continuous glass fiber reinforced modified PET unidirectional prepreg and a preparation method thereof, which solves technical problems such as the impregnation compatibility of pure PET and continuous glass fiber existing in the prior art. In order to obtain a continuous glass fiber reinforced PET unidirectional prepreg with good appearance, the present invention first adds a compatibilizer, an antioxidant, a nucleating agent, and a lubricant to pure PET resin particles for blending and granulation to obtain modified PET resin particles; then, the modified PET is used to melt-impregnate the continuous glass fiber, and through the synergistic effect of the compatibilizer and nucleating agent, the compatibilizer and lubricant, finally obtains a continuous glass fiber reinforced modified PET unidirectional prepreg with good appearance and excellent mechanical properties.

[0005] The technical solution adopted in the present invention is as follows:

[0006] The preparation method of continuous glass fiber reinforced modified PET unidirectional prepreg tape comprises the following steps:

[0007] The first step is material drying: place the pure PET resin particles and compatibilizer in a blast drying oven at 120-130℃ for 3-4 hours;

[0008] Step 2: Mixing: 100 parts of pure PET resin particles, 0.3-0.5 parts of antioxidant, 5-10 parts of compatibilizer, 0.1-0.5 parts of nucleating agent, and 0.4-1 parts of lubricant are placed in a high-speed stirring mixer and mixed for 5-10 minutes to obtain a uniform mixture;

[0009] The third step is granulation: the uniformly mixed raw materials are added into a twin-screw extruder for granulation to obtain modified PET resin particles;

[0010] Step 4: Drying: Place the modified PET resin pellets in a forced air drying oven at 120-130°C for 3-4 hours;

[0011] Step 5: Take 30-40 parts of the dried modified PET resin particles according to the mass ratio and melt them into the impregnation mold through the resin extrusion system, and fully impregnate them with 60-70 parts of continuous glass fibers. Before impregnation, the glass fibers are adjusted by the spreading roller, and the temperature of the spreading roller is set to 140-170℃;

[0012] Step 6: After cooling and shaping and cutting the edges according to the required width, the continuous glass fiber reinforced modified PET unidirectional prepreg tape is obtained by winding.

[0013] Preferably, the intrinsic viscosity of the pure PET resin particles in the first step is 0.6-1.5 dl / g, the compatibilizer is one or more of acrylate, acrylate maleic anhydride copolymer, and acrylate glycidyl methacrylate copolymer, and the moisture content of the pure PET resin particles after drying is less than 100 ppm.

[0014] Preferably, the compatibilizer in the first step is an acrylate maleic anhydride copolymer and / or an acrylate glycidyl methacrylate copolymer.

[0015] Preferably, the antioxidant in the second step is hindered phenol antioxidant 1010 and / or phosphite antioxidant 168, the nucleating agent is a saturated carboxylic acid sodium salt, the lubricant is an internal and external lubricant of a dendritic polyester structure containing a carboxyl polar functional group, and the stirring speed of the high-speed stirring mixer in the second step is 500-1500 r / min.

[0016] Preferably, in the third step, the temperature of screw zones 1 and 2 of the twin-screw extruder is 220°C-225°C, the temperature of screw zones 3 and 4 is 230°C-235°C, and the temperature of screw zones 5, 6 and 7 is 240°C-250°C.

[0017] Preferably, the moisture content of the modified PET resin particles after drying in the fourth step is less than 100 ppm.

[0018] Preferably, in the resin extrusion system in the fifth step, the temperature of the melt extrusion zone 1 is 240-245°C, the temperature of the zone 2 is 250-255°C, the temperature of the zone 3 is 260-265°C, the temperature of the zone 4 is 265-270°C, and the die head temperature is 265-270°C. The continuous glass fiber is an alkali-free glass fiber impregnated with a silane coupling agent, the linear density of the continuous glass fiber is 1200-2400tex, the fiber diameter is 17μm, and the silane coupling agent is one or more of vinyl silane, aminosilane, and epoxy silane.

[0021] The present application also discloses a continuous glass fiber reinforced modified PET unidirectional prepreg tape prepared by any of the above preparation methods.

[0022] Principle explanation: Continuous glass fiber has the characteristics of high strength and high modulus, and its strength is several times that of ordinary steel. Among thermoplastic resins, PET resin has good fluidity and temperature resistance. In the process of prepreg preparation, the modified PET resin can fully penetrate into the glass fiber treated with silane coupling agent in the molten state, and can form chemical bonds with the active groups on the surface of the glass fiber, which can greatly improve the interfacial bonding strength between PET resin and glass fiber, so that when the composite material is subjected to external force, the stress can be more effectively transferred between the glass fiber and the matrix, avoiding the occurrence of destructive phenomena such as interface debonding.

[0023] Beneficial effects:

[0024] 1. This application first modifies PET to obtain modified PET resin particles with good compatibility with continuous glass fiber, and finally produces modified PET unidirectional prepreg with high glass fiber content by melt impregnation;

[0025] 2. This application solves the problem of impregnation compatibility between continuous glass fiber and PET resin through the synergistic effect of a compatibilizer and a lubricant, thereby obtaining a continuous glass fiber-reinforced modified PET unidirectional prepreg with good appearance. This is because the maleic anhydride and epoxy functional groups in the compatibilizer can react with the hydroxyl functional groups on the surface of the glass fiber. Secondly, according to the principle of like dissolves like, acrylate and PET also have good compatibility, so the compatibilizer acts like a bridge to connect PET and glass fiber. At the same time, a certain amount of lubricant can improve the fluidity of PET and enhance the impregnation effect of PET and glass fiber. Therefore, the compatibilizer and lubricant in the present invention have a synergistic effect, jointly improving the compatibility of glass fiber and PET.

[0026] 3. Compared with traditional continuous glass fiber reinforced PP and pure PET unidirectional prepreg tapes, the continuous glass fiber reinforced modified PET unidirectional prepreg tape and its preparation method in this application have better mechanical properties. At the same glass fiber content, the unidirectional prepreg tape in this application has a maximum tensile strength of 1115 MPa and a tensile modulus of 39 GPa, and has a good appearance, which is superior to the pure PET unidirectional prepreg tape with the same glass fiber content; this is mainly because the addition of the nucleating agent can accelerate the crystallization of PET and form an ordered crystalline structure, and the compatibilizer combines PET and glass fiber like a bridge. Therefore, the compatibilizer and the nucleating agent have a synergistic effect and jointly improve the mechanical properties of the product described in the present invention.

[0059] Comparative Example 1

[0060] The preparation method of continuous glass fiber reinforced modified PET unidirectional prepreg tape comprises the following steps:

[0061] The first step is material drying: the pure PET resin pellets and the compatibilizer are placed in a 120°C forced air drying oven for 4 hours; the intrinsic viscosity of the pure PET resin pellets is 0.68 dl / g, and the moisture content of the dried pure PET resin pellets is less than 0.01%;

[0075] Except for not adding the nucleating agent, other contents are the same as those in Example 2.

[0080] Comparative Example 10

[0081] Except for not adding the nucleating agent, other contents are the same as those in Example 3.

[0082]

[0083] By comparing Example 1 with Comparative Example 1, it can be found that the unmodified PET cannot form a good impregnation effect with the continuous glass fiber, and a large amount of dry yarn exists.

[0084] Comparing Examples 1, 2, and 3 with Comparative Examples 2, 5, and 8 reveals that the absence of a compatibilizer not only results in poor compatibility between the glass fiber and the resin infiltration, but also severely impacts the mechanical properties of the product. This is primarily due to the reaction of the maleic anhydride functional groups in the compatibilizer with the hydroxyl functional groups on the surface of the glass fiber. Furthermore, according to the principle of like dissolves like, acrylates and PET also exhibit good compatibility. Therefore, the compatibilizer acts like a bridge, tightly connecting the PET and glass fiber, improving the compatibility between the glass fiber and the resin and enhancing the mechanical properties of the product.

[0085] Comparing Examples 1, 2, and 3 with Comparative Examples 3, 6, and 9, it can be found that the absence of a lubricant has little effect on the mechanical properties of the product, but does affect the wetting effect between the glass fiber and the resin. This is primarily because the addition of a lubricant improves the fluidity of the resin and reduces friction between the resin and the equipment. The lubricant also regulates the interfacial interaction between the resin and the fiber, and the lubricant molecules form a buffer layer between the resin and the fiber, improving the compatibility between the resin and the fiber. Therefore, the compatibilizer and lubricant have a synergistic effect in improving the compatibility between the glass fiber and the resin.

[0086] Comparison of Examples 1, 2, and 3 with Comparative Examples 4, 7, and 10 reveals that the absence of a nucleating agent does not affect the compatibility of the resin and glass fiber, but does reduce the mechanical properties of the product. This is primarily due to the poor crystallization ability of PET resin itself. The addition of a nucleating agent can induce rapid crystallization of PET, forming an ordered crystalline structure. This ordered crystalline structure results in a tighter and more regular arrangement of the molecular chains within the material. When subjected to tensile forces, the molecular chains can more effectively share the external forces, thereby improving the mechanical properties of the product. This demonstrates that the compatibilizer and nucleating agent have a synergistic effect in improving the mechanical properties of the product.

[0087] The above shows and describes the basic principles, main features, and advantages of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. The above embodiments and descriptions are merely preferred examples of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.
