Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of fluoroplastic modification, in particular to a high-flexibility fluoroplastic and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Fluoroplastics are a general term for high molecular compounds containing fluorine in the main chain. Due to their excellent heat resistance, chemical corrosion resistance, insulation and low surface energy, they have become an indispensable key material in high-end fields such as national defense, aerospace, electronics, semiconductors, etc. However, some fluoroplastics represented by polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) and polychlorotrifluoroethylene (PCTFE) have high strength, but their flexibility (flexibility) is insufficient, which seriously limits their application in fields such as flexible pipes, high-performance seals, wire and cable, and flexible electronic devices that require high material flexibility.

[0003] To improve the flexibility of plastics, adding rubber or elastomer is a common and effective method. Fluororubber is considered an ideal toughening modification component due to its similar chemical structure to fluoroplastics and excellent medium resistance. However, fluororubber needs to be crosslinked to fully exhibit its elastomer properties. If uncrosslinked fluororubber is directly blended with fluoroplastics, it is easy to cause degradation of fluororubber during processing, and it is difficult to achieve uniform dispersion and effective crosslinking in the matrix, resulting in poor performance of the composite material. Therefore, how to achieve uniform dispersion and controllable crosslinking of fluororubber in the fluoroplastic matrix is the key to preparing high-flexibility fluoroplastic composites.

[0004] Dynamic vulcanization technology is one of the effective ways to solve the above problems, which can achieve crosslinking of the rubber phase during mixing, thereby obtaining a thermoplastic elastomer that can be melt processed. In the prior art, invention patent CN103396639B discloses a method for preparing a fluoroplastic / fluororubber / silicone rubber thermoplastic elastomer by dynamic vulcanization. Although this technology can obtain a material with both chemical resistance and repeatable processing, it still has obvious limitations: first, the fluoroplastic content in the system is low, which makes the overall performance of the material more biased towards rubber, and it lacks strength and surface hardness; second, the process requires high processing temperature and long processing time, under which additives are easily decomposed and the rubber phase is easily scorch, making it difficult to ensure the stability of product performance.

[0005] Tetrafluoroethylene / hexafluoropropylene / vinylidene fluoride copolymer (THV) as a new type of fluoroplastic provides a new idea for the blending modification with fluororubber due to its inherent high flexibility and relatively wide processing temperature window (160℃~185℃). The processing temperature of THV is highly consistent with the suitable vulcanization temperature range of fluororubber, which creates unique conditions for directly preparing a "flexibility-enhancing masterbatch" with good compatibility, melt processability and crosslinked rubber phase through a one-step dynamic vulcanization process.

[0006] In summary, the prior art fails to take full advantage of the characteristics of THV fluoroplastic, and there are deficiencies in terms of considering the material fluoroplastic intrinsic performance (high strength, high hardness) and efficient and stable processing technology. Therefore, the present application aims to provide a new solution to overcome the above-mentioned defects. SUMMARY

[0039] Compared with the prior art, the technical effects of the present application mainly reflect in the following aspects:

[0040] 1. Significantly improve material flexibility: By using a dynamic vulcanization process to prepare flexible masterbatch and introducing it into the fluoroplastic matrix, the flexibility and bending properties of the material can be significantly improved, giving the originally rigid fluoroplastics excellent ability to adapt to deformation.

[0041] 2. Achieve efficient and uniform dispersion: The terpolymer (THV) of tetrafluoroethylene, hexafluoropropylene and vinylidene fluoride is selected as the carrier. It has similar structure and good compatibility with a variety of fluoroplastics.

PVDF 50 parts, the masterbatch 50 parts, lubricant 0.3 parts (containing fluoropolymer processing aid and silicone powder 1:1), antioxidant 0.4 parts (1098 and 168 mixed in a mass ratio of 3:1) were weighed out, and a sample was prepared according to Step Two.

[0072] Comparative Example 3

[0073] Take PCTFE 70 parts, THV 30 parts (melt mass flow rate 15 g / 10 min), lubricant 0.5 parts (fluoropolymer processing aid and silicone powder 1:1), antioxidant 0.4 parts (1790 and DSTP mixed in a mass ratio of 3:1), according to step two to prepare the sample.

[0074] Comparative Example 4

[0075] Take fluorine rubber with CSM 246 50 parts (Mooney viscosity 45), TAIC 1.5 parts, accelerator AD 0.6 parts, according to step one to prepare the premix rubber particles.

[0076] The flexibility of the material can be intuitively reflected by the bending modulus, tensile elongation at break and surface hardness. Examples 1-7 and Comparative Examples 1-4 were hot-pressed into shape, and the tensile properties, bending properties and surface hardness of the samples were tested according to the test methods specified in GB / T 1040.2, GB / T 9341 and GB / T 2411. The test results are as follows:

[0077] Table 1 Performance data

[0078]

[0079] As can be seen from Examples 1 and 2 in Table 1, the higher the content of fluorine rubber in the softening masterbatch, the lower the bending modulus of the obtained sample, the higher the elongation at break, and the better the flexibility. The comparison of Example 1 with Examples 3 and 4 shows that when the amount of softening masterbatch increases from 30% to 50%, the bending modulus decreases by nearly 30%, the elongation at break increases, the surface hardness significantly decreases, and the flexibility greatly improves.

[0080] Compared with Example 1, the bending modulus of Comparative Example 1 is lower, but the mechanical properties are poor. The reason is that no vulcanizing agent is added in Comparative Example 1, and the fluororubber cannot achieve dynamic crosslinking, which is equivalent to melt blending the fluororubber raw rubber with THV and fluoroplastic, resulting in that the material cannot maintain stable performance. By comparing Comparative Example 3 with Comparative Example 2, it can be seen that the fluororubber used in Comparative Example 2 has no vulcanization site, and although it can achieve partial dynamic crosslinking under the action of the vulcanizing agent, the crosslinking degree is insufficient, the bending modulus is low, the overall mechanical properties decrease too much, and it also cannot maintain stability. The comparison of Example 5 and Example 6 with Comparative Example 3 and Comparative Example 4 further shows that the addition of THV alone has limited effect on the flexibility of fluoroplastic, and the material still shows great rigidity; and without the introduction of THV, the dynamic crosslinking of fluororubber in the fluoroplastic matrix only, the overall mechanical properties of the sample are poor, and defects such as low surface smoothness, easy scorching of fluororubber, yellowing of sample, etc. are observed in processing.

[0081] In summary, the flexible master batch prepared by the present application can significantly improve the flexibility of high-rigidity fluoroplastics such as PVDF, PCTFE, ETFE and ECTFE. The high-flexibility fluoroplastics obtained not only have excellent bending flexibility, but also have good mechanical properties, thereby being suitable for more widely used application scenarios.

[0082] The above examples are only for illustrating the technical concept and characteristics of the present application, and the purpose is to enable those skilled in the art to understand the content of the present application and implement it, and cannot limit the protection scope of the present application. Any equivalent changes or modifications made according to the spirit and essence of the present application shall be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
