Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of building materials technology, and in particular to a multi-layer composite reinforced door and window frame and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] As an important component of building decoration, the covering technology and material selection of door and window frames directly affect the product's aesthetics, durability, and environmental friendliness. Traditional door and window frames are mostly made of materials such as solid wood, MDF, PVC, or aluminum alloy, and are covered with processes such as heat transfer printing, film application, or spraying. However, they still have a series of significant defects in practical applications. Solid wood door and window frames, while possessing good environmental friendliness and decorative effects, are expensive and easily cracked and deformed due to changes in temperature and humidity. MDF door and window frames, although cheaper, have poor waterproof and moisture-proof performance, are prone to absorbing moisture and expanding, and long-term use in humid environments can lead to the coating peeling off and mold growth. They also often contain harmful substances such as formaldehyde, which are detrimental to indoor environmental health. PVC door and window frames have poor weather resistance and are prone to aging and discoloration outdoors or under strong ultraviolet radiation, resulting in a short service life. Aluminum alloy door and window frames, while having high structural strength, are expensive and offer limited decorative effects, failing to meet diverse aesthetic needs.
[0003] In terms of cladding technology, existing techniques struggle to effectively address the challenge of cladding door and window frames at corners. Due to insufficient material flexibility, stress concentration easily occurs at corners, leading to cracking and peeling of the cladding layer, affecting overall aesthetics and structural integrity. Furthermore, traditional door and window frames lack sufficient weather resistance in outdoor or high-humidity environments, easily fading, deforming, and aging, limiting their application in outdoor or damp areas (such as kitchens and bathrooms). Simultaneously, existing door and window frames have poor adaptability to uneven walls, easily resulting in incomplete cladding, hollow areas, and gaps during installation, affecting construction quality and the final effect. Regarding environmental protection, formaldehyde release from engineered wood products such as MDF is increasingly concerning, while solid wood materials consume significant amounts of forest resources, contradicting sustainable development principles. Therefore, the market urgently needs a door and window frame and its cladding technology that meets requirements for high strength, high weather resistance, and crack resistance, while also possessing good waterproof and moisture-proof properties, being environmentally friendly and recyclable, and having strong installation adaptability.

[0069] The basic principles of this invention are explained as follows: The multi-layer composite reinforced door and window frame provided by this invention uses glass fiber reinforced polyolefin composite material as the base material. Utilizing the high strength and high modulus of glass fiber, it is composited with polyolefin resin to provide a skeleton for the entire door and window frame, ensuring its basic structural strength, dimensional stability, and lightweight. The extrusion molding process ensures that it can be processed into various required profile sections. The composite coating layer includes an adhesive layer, a reinforcing layer, a decorative layer, and a weather-resistant layer, wherein: 1) The adhesive layer firmly bonds the substrate to the remaining covering layers through chemical bonding force; 2) The reinforcing layer is the core functional layer for crack prevention. It uses epoxy resin as the continuous matrix and modified bacterial cellulose and rubber particles as reinforcing phases. Through synergy with a silane coupling agent, it forms a strong interfacial bond, achieving efficient stress transfer. The modified bacterial cellulose has an extremely high aspect ratio and, during preparation, randomly orients, cross-links, and entangles within the epoxy resin matrix, forming a continuous, interpenetrating three-dimensional nanofiber network that runs throughout the entire reinforcing layer. When the composite material is subjected to external forces (such as bending, impact, especially complex stresses at the corners of door and window frames), the stress first acts on the continuous epoxy resin matrix, and then... Through strong interfacial bonding between the modified bacterial cellulose network and the resin matrix, stress can be efficiently transferred from the relatively weak resin matrix to the rigid nanofiber network, achieving stress dispersion and preventing crack initiation and propagation. The rubber particles act as stress concentration points. When the material is subjected to impact or bending stress, the matrix around the rubber particles generates crazing and shear bands, consuming a large amount of energy. At the same time, the elastic deformation capacity of the rubber particles can effectively blunt the crack tip and prevent crack propagation. The modified bacterial cellulose and rubber particles form a soft and hard synergistic toughening system, with the former providing rigid support and the latter providing toughness, achieving a balance between strength and toughness. 3) The decorative layer is used to provide decorative effects such as wood grain and stone grain. The addition of nano titanium dioxide can enhance the hiding power and protect the underlying resin and ink through its excellent ultraviolet shielding ability and high refractive index, and delay fading. 4) The weather-resistant layer utilizes the extremely high chemical inertness, extremely low surface energy, and excellent UV resistance of fluoropolymers to form a dense protective layer outside the decorative layer, effectively blocking the erosion of internal materials by moisture, ultraviolet rays, pollutants, and temperature changes.
[0070] During the preparation process, hot-pressing is performed at 100-120℃ and 0.5-0.8MPa for 20-40 minutes, which allows the hot melt adhesive film of the adhesive layer to melt, flow, and wet the substrate, and undergo a moisture curing reaction. The epoxy resin of the reinforcing layer undergoes a cross-linking reaction with the curing agent, and is completely cured and shaped. The melamine resin in the decorative layer is further cured. This integrated hot-pressing and simultaneous curing avoids the problems of interlayer thermal stress, interface contamination and low efficiency caused by step curing, and ensures that the interfaces of each layer are tightly bonded at the molecular level.
[0071] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: The multi-layer composite reinforced door and window casing provided by this invention utilizes the synergistic toughening effect of a three-dimensional nano-network constructed from modified bacterial cellulose in the reinforcing layer and rubber particles to efficiently disperse stress, making the product significantly more resistant to cracking than traditional materials at stress concentration points such as corners. The composite effect of the fluororesin weather-resistant layer and the internal decorative layer containing nano-titanium dioxide gives the product excellent UV shielding, chemical corrosion resistance, and anti-aging capabilities, making it suitable for harsh outdoor environments. The dense epoxy resin reinforcing layer and strong interface bonding design ensure low water absorption, high wet strength, and a balance between flexibility and rigidity. Using a low-formaldehyde system and recyclable substrate, the product also has good flexibility and dimensional stability, easily adapting to various irregular wall shapes and uneven base surfaces, achieving a firm and aesthetically pleasing covering effect, solving the problems of traditional products being prone to cracking, aging, moisture susceptibility, and difficult installation.

Unless otherwise specified, the raw materials, reagents, or apparatus used in the embodiments can be obtained from conventional commercial sources or by existing technical methods. Unless otherwise specified, the experimental or testing methods are conventional methods in the art.
[0074] Example 1 This embodiment prepares a multi-layer composite reinforced door and window frame, which consists of a door and window frame substrate and a composite covering layer covering the surface of the substrate. The composite covering layer, from the inside out, comprises an adhesive layer, a reinforcing layer, a decorative layer, and a weather-resistant layer. The preparation steps are as follows: S11. Mix 55wt% polypropylene resin, 30wt% glass fiber, 4wt% carbodiimide-type hydrolysis stabilizer, 1.5wt% antioxidant 1010, 0.5wt% antioxidant 168, 1wt% light stabilizer 770, and 8wt% maleic anhydride-grafted polypropylene, and extrude the mixture through a twin-screw extruder at 180-220℃ to obtain a door and window frame substrate. S21. The decorative base paper is passed at a uniform speed through an impregnation tank containing melamine-formaldehyde resin impregnation solution. The impregnation solution contains 55wt% melamine-formaldehyde resin and 2wt% nano-titanium dioxide (20-30nm). The amount of resin adhering is precisely controlled by the extrusion roller to make the resin solid content reach 120% of the dry weight of the base paper. The impregnated wet paper is sent into a drying oven and pre-cured at 75℃ for 12 hours. Subsequently, a wood grain pattern is printed on the surface of the pre-cured impregnated paper using a gravure printing machine to form a decorative layer. S31. Mix 75wt% bisphenol A type epoxy resin, 5wt% modified bacterial cellulose, 3wt% HDI trimer, 12wt% rubber particles, and 5wt% KH-560, apply the mixture to the back of the decorative layer (the side without pattern), and press it through a hot press roller assembly at a temperature of 80℃, a pressure of 0.4MPa, and a time of 5min. S32. Apply reactive hot melt polyurethane adhesive to the surface of the door and window frame substrate, then bond the back of the decorative layer to the adhesive layer, and hot press the composite material at 120°C and 0.8MPa for 30 minutes to form a composite blank. S41. Mix 30wt% acrylic fluorocarbon resin, 65wt% N-methylpyrrolidone, 1wt% UV326, 1.5wt% antioxidant 1010, 0.5wt% organosilicon leveling agent BYK-333, 1.5wt% BYK-163, and 0.5wt% BYK-066N, and apply the mixture to the decorative layer surface of the composite preform. First, evaporate the solvent at 100℃, and then bake at 220℃ for 5 minutes to level and form a film, thus obtaining the main door frame or casing of the multi-layer composite reinforced door and window casing.

Apply a layer of epoxy resin mixture to the mold, lay a layer of glass fiber mesh, and press it flat with a roller to impregnate it. Repeat this process until the required number of layers is reached, ensuring that the resin is fully impregnated. Then, hot-press the composite at 120°C and 0.8 MPa for 30 minutes to obtain a common glass fiber mesh reinforcement layer.
[0078] Preparation of pure epoxy resin layer: Bisphenol A type epoxy resin and HDI trimer were mixed at a mass ratio of 5:1, stirred evenly at room temperature, degassed under vacuum, coated onto a mold, and then hot-pressed at 120℃ and 0.8MPa for 30 min to obtain pure epoxy resin layer.

As can be seen from Tables 1-4, the modified bacterial cellulose reinforced layer is comprehensively and significantly superior to the traditional glass fiber reinforced and pure epoxy resin systems in terms of overall performance, especially achieving an ideal balance between strength and toughness, durability and processability. Specifically: 1) Significant advantages in key crack resistance and flexibility: The modified layer has the smallest bending radius (R=1-3mm) and the highest elongation at break (40.6%), far exceeding the control sample. In the simulated corner test, its... The lowest crack area percentage (2.9%) and crack propagation length (0.5mm), with microcrack arrest as the failure mode, demonstrate that its three-dimensional network stress dispersion mechanism can effectively inhibit crack initiation and propagation, fundamentally solving the problem of corner cracking; 2) It possesses both excellent mechanical strength and interfacial bonding: its tensile strength (≥300MPa) and interlaminar shear strength (38MPa) are the highest, and its peel strength (≥2.8N / cm) and heat aging retention rate (92%) are also the best, indicating that it has the strongest and most durable bonding with the upper and lower layers; 3) Significantly improved heat resistance and impact resistance: heat distortion temperature ≥200℃, impact toughness reaches 25kJ / m 2 This demonstrates that it maintains its shape at high temperatures and can effectively absorb impact energy. Therefore, this invention uses a modified bacterial cellulose reinforcement layer as the main functional layer, which can integrate the high strength, high toughness, high heat resistance and high interfacial bonding force that are difficult to achieve with traditional reinforcement materials, thus significantly improving the overall performance of door and window frames.
