Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of polymer materials technology, specifically to an impact-resistant and scratch-resistant automotive wheel hubcap and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] As an important aesthetic and functional component, automotive wheel covers must possess a balance of beauty, weather resistance, and reliability. They are constantly exposed to complex and harsh environments, needing to withstand impacts from gravel, scratches from car wash brushes, UV radiation, diurnal temperature variations, and the high temperatures generated by the braking system. Currently, mainstream wheel cover materials mostly use PC, PC / ABS alloys, or ordinary modified PP. While PC and its alloys have good toughness, their heat resistance is limited, with long-term operating temperatures typically below 120℃, making them prone to heat deformation and aging when in close proximity to brake discs. Ordinary modified PP, on the other hand, suffers from poor rigidity, heat resistance, and scratch resistance.

[0003] Nylon (PA) materials, such as PA6 and PA66, are considered potential ideal alternatives due to their excellent mechanical strength, heat resistance, and chemical resistance. However, their widespread application is severely limited by two inherent drawbacks: First, their strong hygroscopicity leads to poor dimensional stability; products easily swell after absorbing water and shrink after drying, making it difficult to guarantee the assembly clearance with metal hubs, and their mechanical properties significantly decrease after water absorption. Second, pure nylon materials are notch sensitive, lack low-temperature impact toughness, and are prone to noticeable whitening under scratching, damaging their appearance.

[0004] While existing technologies employ glass fiber reinforced nylon to enhance rigidity and heat resistance, these often come at the cost of impact toughness, and their effects on scratch resistance and dimensional stability are limited. Other methods simply add toughening agents or lubricants, which struggle to maintain performance under combined conditions of high temperature, high humidity, and UV aging. Furthermore, the lack of synergistic effects between components fails to fundamentally resolve the challenges faced by nylon materials in high-end exterior components. Therefore, developing a method to simultaneously and fundamentally improve the impact resistance, scratch resistance, and dimensional stability of nylon-based wheel caps has significant industrial application value. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an impact-resistant and scratch-resistant automotive wheel hubcap and its manufacturing method, thereby solving the following technical problems: Existing nylon-based car wheel covers have problems such as being not scratch-resistant, not impact-resistant, and having poor performance due to moisture absorption.

[0006] The objective of this invention can be achieved through the following technical solutions: An impact-resistant and scratch-resistant car wheel hub cover, comprising at least the following parts by weight of raw materials: 100 parts Nylon 6 resin; 5-15 parts bismaleimide resin prepolymer; 10-15 parts hydrogenated styrene-butadiene block copolymer grafted with maleic anhydride; 10-20 parts modified basalt fiber; 5-15 parts modified polyarylate fiber; 0.2-0.5 parts antioxidant; 0.3-0.8 parts light stabilizer; 2-4 parts color masterbatch; 0.3-0.8 parts lubricant; The bismaleimide resin prepolymer is prepared by mixing 4,4'-diphenylmethane bismaleimide and 2,2'-diallyl bisphenol A. The modified basalt fiber is a co-precipitation modified by polydopamine, polyethyleneimine and octaaminocage-type polysilsesquioxane-functionalized graphene oxide. The modified polyaryl ester fiber is modified by co-precipitation of polydopamine and polyethyleneimine.

[0007] As a further aspect of the present invention: the mass ratio of 4,4'-diphenylmethane bismaleimide and 2,2'-diallyl bisphenol A in the bismaleimide resin prepolymer is 1:0.6-1.

[0008] As a further aspect of the present invention, the method for preparing the modified basalt fiber includes the following steps: An octaaminocage-type polysilsesquioxane dispersion was added to a graphene oxide dispersion, along with phosphorus pentoxide. The mixture was heated and stirred. After the reaction, the mixture was centrifuged, washed, and dried to obtain octaaminocage-type polysilsesquioxane-functionalized graphene oxide. Basalt fibers were added to a KH550 solution, ultrasonically treated, and dried to obtain activated basalt fibers. The octaaminocage-type polysilsesquioxane-functionalized graphene oxide, polydopamine, and polyethyleneimine were added to a Tris buffer solution, ultrasonically treated, and then the activated basalt fiber was added. After stirring, the mixture was washed and dried to obtain modified basalt fiber.

[0009] As a further aspect of the present invention: the mass ratio of the octaaminocage-type polysilsesquioxane to the graphene oxide is 1:0.8-1.2, and the mass of KH550 is 1%-3% of the mass of the basalt fiber.

[0010] As a further aspect of the present invention: the mass ratio of the octaaminocage-type polysilsesquioxane functionalized graphene oxide, the polydopamine, the polyethyleneimine, and the activated basalt fiber is 1-3:1-3:1-3:100.

[0011] As a further aspect of the present invention, the method for preparing the modified polyarylate fiber includes the following steps: Polydopamine and polyethyleneimine were added to a Tris buffer solution and sonicated. Then, polyarylate fibers that had been washed and dried with acetone were added, stirred, washed, and dried to obtain modified polyarylate fibers.

[0012] As a further aspect of the present invention: the mass ratio of the polydopamine, the polyethyleneimine and the polyarylate fiber is 1-3:1-3:100.

[0013] As a further aspect of the present invention: the antioxidant is at least one of antioxidant 1010 or antioxidant 168, the light stabilizer is at least one of light stabilizer 622 or light stabilizer 770, the color masterbatch is a red, yellow, green, blue or black color masterbatch with PA, PE or EVA resin as a carrier, and the lubricant is at least one of silicone powder, ethylene bis-stearamide, calcium stearate, ethylene bis-stearamide or oxidized polyethylene wax.

[0014] A method for preparing an impact-resistant and scratch-resistant automotive wheel hubcap as described in any one of the above claims, comprising at least the following preparation steps: Nylon 6 resin, bismaleimide resin prepolymer, hydrogenated styrene-butadiene block copolymer grafted with maleic anhydride, antioxidant, light stabilizer, color masterbatch and lubricant are added to a high-speed mixer in a certain mass ratio to obtain a premix. The premixed material is added from the main feed port of the twin-screw extruder, and the modified basalt fiber and modified polyarylate fiber are added from the side feed port. The mixture is melt-blended and granulated, dried, and then injection molded to obtain an impact-resistant and scratch-resistant car wheel hub cover.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this invention are: The impact-resistant and scratch-resistant automotive wheel hubcap prepared by this invention uses nylon 6 resin and bismaleimide resin prepolymer as the base material, and adds hydrogenated styrene-butadiene block copolymer grafted with maleic anhydride as a compatibilizer. Through the chemical reaction between bismaleimide resin and the terminal amino groups of nylon, a cross-linked network is formed, which significantly improves the dimensional stability and reliability of the product in humid environments. Modified basalt fiber and polyaryl ester fiber are also added to form a reinforcing network, which greatly improves the notched impact strength and scratch resistance. Both fibers are modified with polydopamine and polyethyleneimine. Polydopamine can form a highly adhesive film on the fiber surface, and its phenolic hydroxyl and amino groups can form hydrogen bonds and electrostatic interactions with the amino groups of polyethyleneimine. At the same time, the active amino groups of polyethyleneimine can further react with the end groups of nylon 6 and the anhydride groups of the compatibilizer to build a strong chemical bond interface, solving the problem of easy delamination in traditional fiber-reinforced materials. The car wheel hub cover prepared by this invention has high impact resistance and high scratch resistance, and significantly reduces moisture absorption. It can be exposed to complex and harsh environments for a long time and withstand the impact of gravel, scratching by car wash brushes, ultraviolet radiation, humid environments and high temperatures generated by the braking system.

[0016] In this invention, basalt fibers are modified by co-precipitation of polydopamine, polyethyleneimine, and octaaminocage-type polysilsesquioxane-functionalized graphene oxide. The basalt fibers serve as a rigid skeleton, greatly improving the material's strength, modulus, and heat resistance. The modification by polydopamine and polyethyleneimine enhances the dispersibility and compatibility of the basalt fibers in the resin matrix, ensuring efficient transfer of impact stress and improving the material's impact resistance. The two-dimensional sheet structure of graphene oxide and the nano-reinforcing effect of the octaaminocage-type polysilsesquioxane-functionalized graphene oxide improve the material's resistance to plastic deformation, making the surface more difficult to scratch and enhancing the material's scratch resistance.

[0017] This invention utilizes the excellent toughness and low water absorption of polyaryl ester fibers. After modification with polydopamine and polyethyleneimine, the interfacial bonding strength with the nylon 6 matrix is ​​significantly improved. The polyaryl ester fibers absorb a large amount of energy through their own plastic deformation and pull-out effect, thereby improving the notched impact strength of the composite material and avoiding toughening failure caused by weak interfacial bonding in unmodified fibers. Simultaneously, when the polyaryl ester fibers are dispersed in the nylon matrix, they effectively create a hydrophobic, non-absorbent network, hindering the diffusion path of water molecules within the matrix. This effectively reduces the overall water absorption rate and saturated water absorption rate of the composite material, improving the dimensional stability and reliability of the product in humid environments.

[0026] Compared with Example 4, Comparative Example 2 only replaced the modified basalt fiber prepared in Example 1 with the modified polyarylate fiber prepared in Example 2. The other components and preparation methods were completely the same as those in Example 4.

[0027] Compared with Example 4, Comparative Example 3 only replaced the modified polyarylate fiber prepared in Example 2 with the modified basalt fiber prepared in Example 1 in the same mass as that in Example 4. The other components and preparation methods were completely the same as those in Example 4.

[0028] Compared with Example 4, Comparative Example 4 only replaced the modified basalt fiber prepared in Example 1 with the polydopamine and polyethyleneimine modified basalt fiber prepared in Comparative Example 1 by the same mass. The other components and preparation methods were completely the same as those in Example 4.

[0029] Compared with Example 4, Comparative Example 5 replaced the modified basalt fiber prepared in Example 1 with unmodified basalt fiber and the modified polyaryl ester fiber prepared in Example 2 with unmodified polyaryl ester fiber.

[0030] Compared with Example 4, Comparative Example 6 did not add the bismaleimide resin prepolymer prepared in Example 3, but the remaining components and preparation methods were completely the same as in Example 4.

[0031] Performance testing Hardness testing: The test was conducted according to GB / T 2411-2008, using a Type D Shore hardness tester. During testing, five points were taken on each sample surface to measure hardness to minimize experimental error. At least 6 mm intervals were maintained between each point. The average hardness value was then calculated. The test results are shown in Table 1. Impact test: The test adopted the simply supported beam impact test mode. The size of the impact specimen and the test method followed the standard GB / T1043-2008. The test parameters were set as follows: impact velocity 2.9m / s, impact energy 5J. During the test, the impact equipment will measure the energy lost by the impact pendulum when it breaks the specimen, which is used to represent the impact resistance of the sample. The test results are shown in Table 1. Heat distortion temperature: According to GB / T 1634.2-2004, under a constant bending stress of 1.82MPa, the standard sample is immersed in a heat transfer medium with a constant rate of heating. When the deformation at the midpoint of the sample reaches the specified value (0.21mm), the temperature at this time is recorded, which is the heat distortion temperature; the test results are shown in Table 1. Water absorption performance test: Cut the sample, weigh the original weight, put the sample into deionized water, let it stand at room temperature, take the sample every 2.5 hours, wipe off the water, weigh the sample weight gain, repeat the test until the weight of the sample no longer changes, at which point the sample reaches the water absorption saturation state, and obtain the final value of the change of the water absorption rate of the sample over time as the saturation water absorption value; the test results are shown in Table 1. Friction and Wear Performance Testing: The tribological properties of the epoxy composite material were evaluated using a CSM tribological testing machine. The friction pair was a ball-disc contact type, and the motion mode was reciprocating sliding. The upper sample was a 6mm diameter bearing steel ball (GCr15), and the lower sample was the prepared PA6-based composite material. The experimental load range was 15N, the reciprocating motion frequency range was 3Hz, and the termination time was determined according to the set sliding distance. High-temperature tribological testing was performed by heating the lower sample with a heating plate at the bottom. The heating temperature range was from room temperature to 200℃. The heating curve was set through the system module, and after reaching the target temperature, it was held for 10 minutes before the friction test began. Before the friction test, the prepared PA6-based composite material required surface polishing. It was polished with 500#, 1000#, 1500#, and 2000# sandpaper, respectively, and then polished with 3000# diamond polishing paste to reduce the influence of surface roughness on the tribological properties of the tested material. Before the experiment, the steel ball and sample surfaces were wiped with anhydrous ethanol to prevent surface contamination. To minimize error, each experiment was repeated three times.

[0032] The coefficient of friction was calculated using the software integrated into the CSM testing machine. The volumetric wear rate was calculated using the formula ε=V / FL, where ε represents the volumetric wear rate (mm). 3 / Nm); V - Wear volume (mm) 3 F - Load (N); L - Total sliding distance (m); The test results are shown in Table 1; Table 1: Statistical Table of Performance Test Data of Automobile Wheel Hub Covers in Examples 4-6 and Comparative Examples 2-6

[0033] As shown in Table 1, the wheel hubcaps prepared by this invention achieve simultaneous improvement in impact resistance, scratch resistance, and dimensional stability through the synergistic design of composite modified fibers and resin matrix. Comparative Example 2, which only added modified polyaryl ester fibers, yielded the wheel hubcap with the highest impact strength but the worst heat resistance. Comparative Example 3, which only added modified basalt fibers, yielded the wheel hubcap with the highest heat resistance but the worst toughness. Comparative Example 4, where the modified basalt fibers were only modified with polydopamine and polyethyleneimine, resulted in a significant decrease in both impact strength and scratch resistance. Comparative Example 5, where the added fibers were modified, resulted in a comprehensive deterioration in the performance of the wheel hubcap, especially a significant decrease in impact strength and wear resistance. Comparative Example 6, which did not add bismaleimide resin prepolymer, resulted in a significant increase in water absorption.
