TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of high polymer material processing, in particular to high dispersion master batch modified ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE, molecular weight usually > 1 million) is widely used in medical devices, mining machinery and other fields due to its excellent wear resistance, impact resistance and chemical stability. However, the melt viscosity of UHMWPE is extremely high (melt flow index MFI close to 0), making it difficult to be molded by conventional melt processing (such as injection molding, extrusion). Traditional modification methods usually adopt the following two ways: (1) Direct blending of additives, directly mixing lubricants, reinforcing agents and other additives with UHMWPE powder, but due to its poor melt flowability, the additives are not uniformly dispersed, leading to agglomeration, interface defects, and significant decrease in mechanical properties (such as tensile strength loss > 30%). (2) Low molecular weight carrier premixing, using low molecular weight polyethylene (such as LDPE, molecular weight < 100,000) as an additive carrier, but due to its poor compatibility with UHMWPE, phase separation occurs after processing, leading to performance degradation due to additive precipitation.
[0003] Defects of prior art: poor dispersion of additives, low efficiency of functional modification; poor compatibility of carrier with UHMWPE, poor long-term stability; high processing temperature (> 300℃), leading to material oxidation degradation.
[0004] Chinese patent application CN113736159A, published on December 3, 2021, discloses an ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) pipe and its preparation method. The formulation includes low molecular weight polyethylene (10-20 parts), graphene (0.1-0.6 parts), polyethylene wax, and other additives. By controlling the mixing temperature (130-140℃), the processing performance of the UHMWPE pipe is improved. Graphene enhances thermal conductivity, polyethylene wax improves lubricity, and the extrusion stability of the pipe is enhanced, making it suitable for industrial pipelines and wear-resistant liners. However, high filler content (such as graphene) may increase costs, and the problem of high-temperature oxidative degradation of UHMWPE is not solved. Chinese patent application CN1252168C, published on April 19, 2006, discloses a new method for improving the processing rheological properties of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene. It adds 1%-10% of hyperbranched polyester-amide polymer, and through high-shear mixing (180-280℃), significantly reduces the melt viscosity of UHMWPE (torque reduction of 85%), improving fluidity. Hyperbranched polymers, with their three-dimensional structure, reduce molecular chain entanglement, making them suitable for injection molding and extrusion molding with significantly improved processing efficiency. However, hyperbranched polymers are costly and difficult to mass-produce industrially; long-term stability verification of mechanical properties is not addressed. Chinese patent application CN107739463A, published on February 27, 2018, uses a blend of 75% UHMWPE and 25% HDPE, adding pyrolytic silica nucleating agent (1 part) and zinc stearate lubricant (0.5 parts) to improve processing fluidity. HDPE acts as a carrier resin to enhance melt flowability; the nucleating agent optimizes the crystal structure and reduces shrinkage deformation. However, it offers limited improvement in abrasion resistance and impact resistance; the formulation is simple, and the technological barriers are relatively low. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the purpose of this invention is to provide a highly dispersed masterbatch-modified ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene with significantly improved mechanical properties and high stability.
[0006] Another objective of this invention is to provide a method for preparing highly dispersed masterbatch-modified ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE). By using highly filled masterbatch, the additives are uniformly dispersed, solving the problems of poor flowability, large shrinkage deformation, and easy precipitation of additives in traditional processes, while maintaining the high strength and wear resistance of UHMWPE.
[0007] This invention is achieved using the following technical solution: The highly dispersed masterbatch modified ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene comprises the following raw materials in parts by weight: carrier resin: 82-93 parts; lubricant: 0.5-5 parts; antioxidant: 0.3-1 parts; nucleating agent: 1-2 parts; thermally conductive material: 2-5 parts; reinforcing material: 3-5 parts; wherein the thermally conductive material is silicon carbide or aluminum nitride powder; and the reinforcing material is one of glass fiber powder or carbon nanotubes.
[0008] The carrier resin is medium-to-high molecular weight polyethylene with a molecular weight of 500,000-600,000; the lubricant is one or more of calcium stearate, oxidized polyethylene wax, or coupling agent-modified nano-SiO2; the antioxidant is a mixture of high molecular weight hindered phenolic antioxidant and phosphite antioxidant in a mass ratio of 1:2; the nucleating agent is nano-boron nitride with a particle size of 80-200 nm. The preferred high molecular weight hindered phenolic antioxidant is antioxidant 1010, and the preferred phosphite antioxidant is phosphite antioxidant 626.
[0009] The preparation method of the highly dispersed masterbatch modified ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene includes the following steps: (1) Low temperature premixing: Under nitrogen protection, the carrier resin, lubricant, antioxidant, nucleating agent, thermal conductive material and reinforcing material are added to the internal mixer at an initial temperature of 200-250℃ and a rotation speed of 30-60r / min. (2) High-temperature high-speed dispersion: raise the temperature to 280-300℃ and increase the rotation speed to 200-300r / min; (3) Extrusion granulation: The melt after internal mixing is transferred to a twin-screw extruder, and then melt-extruded, water-cooled and pelletized to obtain masterbatch; (4) The masterbatch is crushed by an air jet mill or a ball mill to obtain powder; (5) Dry mix the masterbatch powder and high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) at a mass ratio of (1-3): (7-9), and then obtain highly dispersed masterbatch modified ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene by molding, extrusion or injection molding.
[0010] In step (1), the mixing time is 10-20 min; in step (2), the mixing time is 3-5 min.
[0011] In step (3), the twin-screw extruder has a length-to-diameter ratio of 40:1 and a temperature zone of 200-260℃.
[0012] In step (5), the dry mixing is carried out using a high-speed mixer with a speed of 500-1000 r / min for 10-15 min.
[0013] In step (5), the molding pressure is 10-20 MPa and the temperature is 220-240℃.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: (1) Processing performance optimization: The high flowability carrier resin (MFI>1g / 10min) in the masterbatch reduces the overall melt viscosity of UHMWPE, and the injection molding temperature is reduced to 220-240℃ (the traditional process requires 260-300℃); the melt flow index (MFI) is increased to 0.5-1.2g / 10min, which meets the molding requirements of complex products.
[0015] (2) Significantly improved mechanical properties: shrinkage rate <0.8% (traditional process >1.5%), warpage reduced by more than 50%; tensile strength ≥35MPa (pure UHMWPE about 30MPa), wear rate <3×10⁻ 6 mm³ / N•m.
[0016] (3) The stability of the additives is greatly improved: After the additives in the masterbatch are dispersed under high shear, there is no migration or precipitation in the UHMWPE matrix (no precipitates on the surface after aging at 85℃ for 1000h); the nanofillers are evenly dispersed.

[0043] The test data for Examples 1-5 and Comparative Examples 1-3 are shown in Table 1.
[0044] Table 1: Test data of Examples 1-5 and Comparative Examples 1-3
[0045] Based on the test data from Examples 1-5 and Comparative Examples 1-3, the highly dispersed masterbatch-modified ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene of the present invention exhibits excellent performance in multiple aspects. Regarding flowability, the melt flow index (MFI) of the examples reached 0.5–1.2 g / 10 min, significantly higher than the 0.02 g / 10 min of pure ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene in Comparative Example 1. In Example 3, due to its high carrier resin content and masterbatch addition of 30%, the highest MFI was 1.2 g / 10 min, indicating that the carrier resin in the masterbatch effectively reduces the melt viscosity of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene. Simultaneously, the added lubricant interacts with it, further reducing the melt viscosity and meeting the requirements of complex molding. Regarding dimensional stability, the shrinkage rate of the examples was ≤0.8%, superior to the >1.5% of the traditional process, while the shrinkage rate of Comparative Example 2, without the addition of a nucleating agent, reached 1.0%, confirming the crucial role of the nucleating agent (nano boron nitride) in optimizing the crystal structure and inhibiting shrinkage. In terms of mechanical properties, the tensile strength of the examples is ≥35MPa, exceeding the 30MPa of pure ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene. In particular, Example 4, reinforced with carbon nanotubes, has the highest strength of 38MPa, demonstrating the synergistic effect of the reinforcing material and the highly dispersed masterbatch. Regarding the functional modification effect, the examples with added thermally conductive materials such as silicon carbide or aluminum nitride have a thermal conductivity ≥0.9W / m·K, while the comparative example 3 without added thermally conductive materials has a thermal conductivity of only 0.5W / m·K and a decrease in strength, proving the necessity of thermally conductive materials for comprehensive performance.
