Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of polymer materials technology, and in particular to a low-warpage PC composite material, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] As consumers demand higher levels of comfort from air conditioners, "windless" technology has become a key selling point for high-end air conditioners. This technology uses micro-perforated airflow and multi-layered air guides to achieve gentle diffusion of cool air, avoiding direct airflow onto the human body. However, as a core moving component, the air guide is constantly exposed to start-stop cycles, temperature variations (-10℃ to 60℃), and humidity fluctuations, making it prone to thermal deformation, warping, and stress cracking.

[0003] Existing air guide plates mostly use ABS, PP, or ordinary PC+GF materials, which have the following defects: ABS / PP materials: poor heat resistance (HDT < 80℃), easily softening and deforming at high temperatures; poor dimensional stability, easily warping due to humid heat cycling; conventional PC+GF materials: although they have high strength and heat resistance, the warping problem is particularly prominent due to the inherent high melt viscosity and internal stress of PC, coupled with the anisotropic shrinkage caused by GF orientation, making it difficult to meet the precision requirement of air guide plate assembly gap ≤0.3mm; lack of targeted interface control: traditional coupling agents (such as KH550) have limited improvement on the PC / GF interface, resulting in weak interfacial bonding, affecting rigidity transfer efficiency and long-term durability.

Detailed Implementation

[0049] The technical solution of the present invention will be described in detail through specific embodiments.

[0050] In the following examples and comparative examples, the specific information regarding the raw materials used is as follows:

[0051] PC resin: Teijin L-1250Y, MFR=10 g / 10min;

[0052] Toughening agent: EBA-GMA: DuPont Elvaloy PTW;

[0056] The modified glass fiber is a flat glass fiber: Jushi ECS-301HP-3-M4, with a fiber diameter of 10~15μm and an axial ratio of 4. The preparation of the modified glass fiber includes: placing the flat glass fiber in a muffle furnace and heat-treating it at 430℃ for 1.5 hours to remove surface wetting agents and organic matter; after cooling, rinsing it three times with deionized water, then immersing it in dilute hydrochloric acid (5wt%, room temperature) for 10 minutes to activate the surface silanol groups; finally, rinsing it with deionized water until neutral (pH...). 7) Dry the pretreated glass fiber in an oven at 110℃ for 1 hour to obtain pretreated glass fiber; dissolve KH-550 in an ethanol / water mixed solvent (volume ratio 95:5), controlling the mass concentration of KH-550 at 1.5%, adjust the pH to 4 with acetic acid (to promote silane hydrolysis), stir for 30 minutes, and let it stand for 1 hour to obtain a silane coupling agent solution; immerse the pretreated glass fiber in the silane coupling agent solution at a bath ratio of 1:10 (glass fiber:solution), and soak at room temperature for 8 minutes. Slowly increase the temperature to 65℃ and stir at a constant temperature for 25 minutes to ensure that the coupling agent is fully grafted onto the glass fiber surface. Remove the glass fiber and drain off excess solution (avoid dripping).

The preparation of the modified SiO2-α-Al2O3 composite microspheres included: dissolving 60 g / L TEOS and 25 g / L aluminum isopropoxide in anhydrous ethanol, adding 1 vol% ammonia (25 wt%), stirring (400 rpm) at 55℃ for 2 hours to form a homogeneous sol; heating to 75℃, slowly adding deionized water (initiating hydrolysis-condensation), and aging at this temperature for 5 hours to generate SiO2-α-Al2O3 gel microspheres. These microspheres were centrifuged (9000 rpm, 15 minutes), washed three times with ethanol, and then ball-milled (2 hours, 200 rpm) to ensure sphericity and particle size (D50=4 µm). After sieving, the microspheres were calcined at 600℃ for 1 hour to obtain SiO2-α-Al2O3 composite microspheres. The sphericity (≥0.92) was verified using a laser particle size analyzer and SEM. KH-570 was dissolved in an ethanol / water mixture (90:10, volume ratio), the pH was adjusted to 4 with acetic acid, and the mixture was stirred and aged for 30 minutes (to promote silane hydrolysis) to obtain a KH-570 silane coupling agent solution. The KH-570 silane coupling agent solution was added to the composite microspheres (bath ratio 1:15, microspheres:solution), and ultrasonically dispersed for 10 minutes (40kHz). The mixture was then heated to 65℃ and stirred at a constant temperature for 1.5 hours (to graft silane onto the microsphere surface). The microspheres were recovered by centrifugation (10000 rpm, 10 minutes), washed with ethanol to remove unreacted substances, and vacuum dried (80℃, 2 hours) to obtain modified SiO2-α-Al2O3 composite microspheres. Post-processing and quality control: Sieving (400-mesh sieve) removes agglomerates to ensure monodispersity. FTIR is used to detect grafting effectiveness (characteristic peak at 1720 cm⁻¹). -1 (Corresponding to the C=O bond, confirming successful modification of KH-570). Store in a desiccator (humidity <30%) to avoid moisture absorption that could lead to performance degradation.

[0058] The preparation of the core-shell crystal nucleation inhibitor includes: ultrasonically treating 65 parts styrene, 4 parts methacrylic acid, and 1 part emulsifier for 15 min to obtain a core layer pre-emulsion; adding the core layer pre-emulsion and an aqueous solution containing 0.4 parts KPS (260 parts water) dropwise at 75°C under a nitrogen atmosphere; after 2 h of addition, adding 0.6 parts EGDMA and maintaining the temperature for 1.5 h to obtain a core layer emulsion with a particle size of 80 nm; and then adding 35 parts butyl acrylate, 4 parts methacrylic acid, and... Two parts of emulsifier were ultrasonically treated for 15 minutes to obtain a shell pre-emulsion. The core emulsion was heated to 80°C, and the shell pre-emulsion was slowly added dropwise for 1.5 hours. Then, 0.3 parts of KPS aqueous solution (120 parts water) were added and reacted for 2 hours. Then, 1 part of EGDMA and 1.2 parts of organophosphate were added and reacted for 2 hours. After cooling to 40°C and adjusting the pH to 7, the mixture was centrifuged and washed (12000 rpm, 20 minutes) and then freeze-dried into powder to obtain the product. The organophosphate was 2,2'-methylenebis(4,6-di-tert-butylphenyl)aluminum phosphate. The emulsifier was composed of SDS and OP-10 in a mass ratio of 3:1.
