Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of polymer materials technology, and more specifically, to a polypropylene composition, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology
[0002] As automotive interiors evolve towards "high durability, intelligence, and environmental friendliness," traditional automotive polypropylene compositions exhibit low hardness in high-frequency contact areas such as door panels and center consoles. This makes them susceptible to scratches from metal objects (such as keys and zippers), leading to surface whitening and reduced gloss, severely impacting the interior's aesthetics. Luxury models and new energy vehicles demand even higher interior quality, requiring a smooth feel and exceptional durability. While polypropylene (PP) is a commonly used material for automotive interiors, its poor self-healing properties make it difficult for scratches on automotive interiors made from PP to self-repair after being struck by metal objects (such as keys and zippers).
[0003] Therefore, developing a polypropylene composition with strong self-healing properties is of great significance. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a polypropylene composition, its preparation method, and its application.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows: In a first aspect, the present invention provides a polypropylene composition comprising the following components in parts by weight: 30-50 parts block copolymer polypropylene (PP-B), 10-25 parts thermoplastic elastomer A and thermoplastic elastomer B, 30-50 parts polybutene; The glass transition temperature of the thermoplastic elastomer A is -63℃ to -53℃; The glass transition temperature of the thermoplastic elastomer B is -43℃ to -31℃.

The amorphous regions provided by thermoplastic elastomers A and B, with different specific glass transition temperatures, have different lubricity in different areas, which can promote the mutual diffusion of block copolymer polypropylene and polybutene in the amorphous regions, improve the compatibility between block copolymer polypropylene and polybutene, and enable the block copolymer polypropylene crystals and polybutene crystals to crystallize synergistically. Simultaneously, under thermal action, the block copolymer polypropylene crystals form a network that maintains the overall structural stability of the system, while the polybutene crystals melt and transform into an amorphous form, synergistically enhancing the chain segment mobility in the amorphous regions with different lubricity, achieving scratch self-healing, and improving the self-healing performance of the polypropylene composition.

(2) Make a 20mm long and 2mm deep scratch on the sample, and then bake it in a 100℃ oven for 60 minutes to allow the polypropylene composition to self-heal under heat. Take it out and measure the depth of the scratch at this time, which is recorded as H (unit: mm). Calculate the degree of self-healing of the polypropylene composition (%) according to the following formula: Self-repair rate (%) = (2-H) / 2 × 100%; The higher the self-healing value, the stronger the self-healing performance of the polypropylene composition. The experimental results are shown in the table below: Table 5 Performance test results of the polypropylene compositions of each example and comparative example. As shown in Table 5, the polypropylene composition of the present invention also has good self-healing properties, wherein the degree of self-healing is ≥60.0%.
[0056] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of the present invention without departing from the essence and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention.
