Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of plastics technology, specifically to a polyolefin resin composition and its preparation method, polyolefin resin products, and their respective applications. Background Technology
[0002] Polypropylene resin has been widely used in the automotive and home appliance industries due to its advantages of easy recycling, lightweight, and relatively low price, and is gradually replacing metals and engineering plastics. Taking automotive polypropylene as an example, polypropylene used in automotive interior parts needs extremely low volatile organic compound (VOC) content and high flowability and rigidity; polypropylene used in automotive bumpers needs extremely high impact resistance. The requirements for polypropylene materials vary significantly depending on the automotive component. With the development of new energy vehicles, automotive appearances are becoming increasingly diversified, emphasizing a technological feel. Consequently, automakers have raised new demands for automotive polypropylene materials, requiring them to possess high light transmittance and low haze characteristics in addition to the conventional properties of polypropylene.
[0003] Light transmittance and haze are two different optical parameters. Light transmittance refers to the ratio of the luminous flux transmitted through the sample to the incident luminous flux, while haze refers to the ratio of the scattered luminous flux transmitted through the sample but deviating from the incident light direction (2.5°) to the transmitted luminous flux. Light transmittance and haze are not positively correlated, and light transmittance is not equivalent to transparency.
[0004] Currently, most polypropylene materials with high light transmittance are transparent polypropylene, but the preparation of transparent polypropylene materials mainly relies on reducing haze. For homopolymer polypropylene, spherulites within the system cause deviation of incident light, increasing haze and thus reducing transparency. To reduce polypropylene haze, the main approach is to reduce the size of the spherulites or the dispersed phase, thereby minimizing the deviation of incident light. Adding antireflective nucleating agents can reduce spherulite size, thereby reducing haze and increasing transparency. Introducing comonomers into the polypropylene molecular chain disrupts the crystallization of the polypropylene molecular chain, reducing spherulite size; this is also why random copolymer polypropylene has high transparency. For impact-resistant polypropylene, reducing the dispersed phase size also reduces haze to some extent and increases transparency. Currently, methods to increase haze include adding light diffusing agents and fillers to polypropylene, but this may not only reduce light transmittance but also affect the mechanical properties of the polypropylene material.
[0005] CN104448538B discloses a polypropylene composition that combines high impact resistance and good transparency, containing 40-70% by weight of crystalline polypropylene A and 30-60% by weight of ethylene-propylene elastic copolymer B. The molecular weight distribution index of both the polypropylene composition and the crystalline polypropylene A is greater than 4, and the ratio of the melt index of the polypropylene composition to the melt index of the crystalline polypropylene A is 0.7-1.3. In the examples, the composition has a maximum haze of 36.3%, corresponding to a transmittance of 75.2%. This composition improves transparency by reducing the dispersed phase size; therefore, its low haze does not meet the required standards.
[0006] CN104448537B discloses a polypropylene composition with high impact resistance and good transparency, containing 70-95% by weight of crystalline polypropylene A and 5-30% by weight of ethylene-propylene elastic copolymer B. The molecular weight distribution index of both the polypropylene composition and the crystalline polypropylene A is greater than 4, and the ratio of the melt index of the polypropylene composition to the melt index of the crystalline polypropylene A is 0.7-1.3. The maximum haze of the composition in this patent is 55.2%, corresponding to a transmittance of 77.8%. This patent also improves transparency by reducing the dispersed phase size, therefore its haze is low and does not meet the requirements. Other patents for transparent impact-resistant polypropylene, such as CN1861674B and CN1380893A, do not provide haze data, and in practice, they are equivalent to replacing the main body of the impact-resistant polypropylene homopolymer with random copolymer polypropylene, resulting in a decrease in the rigidity, hardness, and heat distortion temperature of the final product. Furthermore, the use of a random copolymer reduces the spherulite grain size, suggesting that the material has lower haze. Patents CN14106453B and CN14106454B mention compositions with low haze and high gloss and transparency, which do not meet the requirement of high haze. Patent application CN114854136A discloses a polypropylene material with high haze and high light transmittance, mainly prepared by blending copolymerized polypropylene with additives such as β-crystal nucleating agents, nano zinc oxide, and nano barium sulfate, and the melt flow rate of the material is below 5 g / 10 min.
[0007] The analysis of the above patents reveals that existing polypropylene materials generally have low haze when meeting the requirements for light transmittance, and cannot simultaneously possess the characteristics of high light transmittance and high haze. Summary of the Invention

[0055] A second aspect of the present invention provides a method for preparing a polyolefin resin composition, the method comprising: (1) Under the first olefin polymerization conditions, propylene monomer is contacted with Ziegler-Natta catalyst with high stereoselectivity, and unreacted monomer is removed from the mixture obtained after the contact reaction to obtain homopolymer polypropylene A. (2) Under the conditions of olefin gas-phase polymerization, ethylene monomer and propylene monomer are contacted and reacted with homopolymer polypropylene A obtained in step (1), and unreacted monomers are removed from the mixture obtained after the contact reaction to obtain a mixture containing homopolymer polypropylene A and ethylene-propylene elastic copolymer B.

More preferably, the molar ratio of phosphate ester and α-cyanosuccinate is 1:40-400.
[0067] The inventors of this invention further discovered that using a combination of phosphate ester, α-cyanosuccinate and dialkoxy-substituted alkanes as internal electron donors can not only improve the molecular weight distribution (Mw / Mn) of the polymer, but also further enhance the activity of the polymerization reaction.
[0068] In another preferred embodiment of the present invention, the internal electron donors include phosphate esters, α-cyanosuccinates, and alkoxy-substituted alkanes.

[0130] Table 2
[0131] As can be seen from Tables 1 and 2, the polyolefin resin products obtained by the present invention have both high haze and high light transmittance.
[0132] In Comparative Example 1, the nucleating agent was replaced with the conventional commercial nucleating agent NA-21. Although the light transmittance of the polyolefin resin product was improved, its haze was only 51.3%, which is relatively low.
[0133] Compared with Example 1, the ethylene content in component B of Comparative Example 2 is not within the range defined by this invention, and the light transmittance of the polyolefin resin product is much lower.
[0134] Compared with Example 1, the main catalyst type of Comparative Example 3 was changed, and its main catalyst contained only one internal electron donor, specifically diisobutyl phthalate. The isotacticity of the resulting homopolymer polypropylene component decreased and the molecular weight distribution narrowed, resulting in a significant decrease in its flexural modulus and low light transmittance.
[0135] Compared with Example 1, no nucleating agent was added in Comparative Example 4, and the resulting polyolefin resin product had low haze.
