Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of polypropylene materials, in particular to a nano-filled and reinforced high-efficiency flame-retardant polypropylene material and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Polypropylene (PP) is widely used in automotive parts, electronic appliances, building materials and other fields due to its excellent processing performance, chemical stability and low cost. However, the limiting oxygen index (LOI) of polypropylene is only 17-18%, which belongs to flammable materials, and the melt dripping phenomenon is serious during combustion, which exists a major fire hazard. With the increasing demand for comprehensive performance of materials, it is an urgent need to develop polypropylene composites with high-efficiency flame retardancy, excellent mechanical properties and environmental friendliness.

[0003] Traditional halogen-based flame retardants (such as decabromodiphenyl ether) have high flame retardant efficiency, but release toxic gases such as dioxins during combustion, and have been gradually banned. Halogen-free flame retardants (such as aluminum hydroxide, expanded graphite) require high addition amount (> 30wt%) to achieve V-0 level, which seriously deteriorates the tensile strength (< 35MPa) and impact toughness (< 10KJ / m 2 ). Bio-based flame retardants (such as phytic acid, chitosan) are environmentally friendly but have poor heat resistance and are easily decomposed during high-temperature processing; the release amount of volatile organic compounds and aldehyde ketone compounds is difficult to meet the standards of high-end fields such as automotive interiors.

[0004] Nanofillers (such as silicon dioxide, carbon nanotubes) are prone to agglomeration, which leads to stress concentration and reduces the toughness of the material; when the surface modification is insufficient, the interface compatibility between the nanoparticles and the polypropylene matrix is poor, which restricts the strength improvement effect. The existing technology attempts to improve the performance by compounding the flame retardant system or surface modifying the nanoparticles, but the compatibility between the flame retardant and the matrix is insufficient, and the long-term use is prone to migration and precipitation; the bending strength is generally lower than 60MPa, and the anti-scratch performance is poor; in addition, it is difficult to achieve high oxygen index (> 30%) and high impact strength (> 14KJ / m 2 ). SUMMARY

[0011] Further, the modified zinc oxide whisker is prepared by coupling agent modification.

[0012] Further, the zinc oxide whisker is a four-needle zinc oxide whisker needle body, the length is about 15-25μm, the bottom diameter is about 1.5-3.5μm, and the tip diameter is about 300-500nm.

[0013] Further, the mass ratio of the dispersion liquid to boric acid and phytic acid is 1:1-2:0.2-1.

[0015] Further, the concentration of boric acid is 5-15g / L.

[0016] Further, the concentration of phytic acid is 5-15g / L.

[0017] Further, the concentration of the dispersion liquid is 1-10g / L.

[0018] The application also provides a preparation method of the nano-filled and reinforced high-efficiency fire-retardant polypropylene material.

[0019] Take 100 parts of polypropylene by weight and heat to a molten state, add 20-30 parts of flame-retardant silica sol, 0.5-1 part of dicumyl peroxide, 10-15 parts of modified zinc oxide whisker, melt blend for 70 minutes at 30 rpm, then add 50-60 parts of masterbatch A, 10-20 parts of maleic anhydride grafted polypropylene, 10-15 parts of nano filler, 1-5 parts of vinyl trimethoxysilane, extrude and granulate at 180°C to obtain a polypropylene material.

[0025] (1) The present application selects a high proportion of polystyrene as masterbatch A, and adjusts the proportion relationship between it and polypropylene masterbatch B to improve the rigidity and strength of the polypropylene material while ensuring the toughness of the polypropylene matrix.

[0026] (2) The present application selects forsterite as the raw material of the flame-retardant sol, and forsterite releases Mg and Fe atoms in an acidic medium, which are then converted into silica sol. The acidic medium of the present application uses boric acid and phytic acid, which can dissolve Mg atoms while reacting with Si-OH in the structure of the silica sol to modify the sol, achieve B and P element doping, and synergize with the silica sol to greatly improve the flame-retardant effect of the sol, thereby making the polypropylene material have excellent flame-retardant properties. In addition, vinyl silane is added during preparation to introduce double bonds into the molecular chain of the silica sol, which can be chemically bonded to the polypropylene molecular chain during the melt blending and extrusion stage, achieving good interfacial compatibility and thus imparting the polypropylene material with more stable flame-retardant effect.

[0027] (3) The polypropylene composite material prepared by the application has good mechanical properties, and also has good flame retardation and impact resistance. Moreover, the polypropylene composite material has low content of volatile organic compounds and aldehyde ketone compounds, can well meet the increasingly improved environmental protection demand at present, and meets the demand of environmental protection and sustainable development.

[0028] (4) Compared with single use, the application of the compounded nano inorganic filler into the system is optimal for improving the strength, impact resistance and flame retardation. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
