Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of adhesive film technology, specifically to an adhesive film, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] Against the backdrop of increasingly scarce global natural and oil resources, new energy vehicles, led by electric vehicles, have begun to emerge as a powerful force. Compared to traditional gasoline vehicles, they use electricity and do not produce harmful gases such as carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide, thus reducing environmental pollution. Protective plates, installed on the underside of the vehicle, are load-bearing components for the power battery pack in new energy vehicles, protecting it from damage by external impacts and pressure. Currently, automotive protective plates mainly use metal alloy materials, but these are heavy, significantly reducing battery range; moreover, the chassis is frequently in contact with rainwater and oil, causing continuous corrosion of metal parts and posing safety hazards. Continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites, due to their lightweight, high rigidity, high toughness, and recyclability, are widely used in many fields such as automotive, aerospace, military, and electronics. However, pure continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites have poor ductility when facing impacts from stones and sharp objects, failing to adequately protect the battery. Therefore, combining continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites with metal materials, leveraging their respective advantages, and applying them to the protective plates of power battery vehicles represents an innovation in the industry.

[0003] Patent CN 217788632 U discloses a battery protective base plate, including an upper fiber-reinforced resin layer, a metal plate, and a lower fiber-reinforced resin layer. Both the upper and lower fiber-reinforced resin layers are made of continuous fiber-reinforced thermoplastic resin. The paper compares the pulverization zone and hollowness of the protective base plate under the impact of a falling ball with different fiber-reinforced resin layer thickness ratios to illustrate the bonding strength between different thickness ratios and the metal plate. However, it does not show the influence of the adhesive layer medium on the bonding performance and impact resistance of the composite material and the metal plate, nor does it synergistically correlate the bonding strength between the fiber-reinforced resin layer and the metal plate with the impact energy absorption. Summary of the Invention

[0004] Based on the deficiencies of the existing technology, the purpose of this application is to provide an adhesive film, its preparation method and application. The adhesive film is suitable for bonding metals and continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites, and can impart excellent bonding performance and impact resistance to bonded parts (such as protective plates).

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, in a first aspect, this application provides an adhesive film comprising the following components in parts by weight: 100 parts of PP (polypropylene) resin PP grafted with maleic anhydride, 60-145 parts. 80-190 parts of thermoplastic elastomer; The thermoplastic elastomer is a copolymer of α-olefin and ethylene, wherein the α-olefin has 4 or more carbon atoms.

[0006] During their research, the inventors discovered that introducing PP grafted with maleic anhydride into polypropylene resin can improve the adhesion between the adhesive film and the metal. The selection of the aforementioned specific thermoplastic elastomer can improve adhesion because it possesses a unique microscopic two-phase structure and is softer. During casting or blow molding, it can optimize the rheological properties of the adhesive film, ensuring good spreading of the molten adhesive film and allowing it to penetrate into the microscopic pores of the metal surface in the next lamination process, enhancing interfacial adhesion. Furthermore, its microscopic phase separation structure allows it to disperse in the adhesive film matrix... When the adhesive is in the body, it forms an "island" structure. When external forces (especially impact forces and peeling forces) are applied to the bonding interface, the stress will concentrate inside the adhesive layer. The micro-regions of thermoplastic elastomers, as stress concentration points, can induce a large number of crazes and shear bands in the surrounding matrix. The process of generating crazes and shear bands requires a lot of energy. More importantly, these numerous and fine crazes and shear bands can effectively terminate the propagation of cracks and prevent them from penetrating into large cracks that lead to overall failure. This greatly improves the fracture toughness and impact resistance of the interface.

[0007] The adhesive film, under the combined action of appropriate amounts of each component, has excellent adhesive properties and is suitable for bonding metals to continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites. Moreover, when used for bonding metals to continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites, it not only achieves excellent adhesive properties but also imparts excellent impact resistance to the bonded parts (such as protective plates).

[0062] Each of the following embodiments and comparative examples provides a film, the specific composition of which is shown in Table 1 or Table 2. Their preparation methods include the following steps: The raw materials are mixed and dispersed, then added to a twin-screw extruder for melting, extrusion, and granulation, and finally cast into a film to obtain the adhesive film. The twin-screw extruder has a twin-screw temperature of 210℃, a screw speed of 330 rpm, a screw length-to-diameter ratio of 40, and a casting temperature of 200℃.

[0063] The film thickness obtained using the film formulations of each embodiment and comparative example is 0.1 mm.

[0064] Table 1 Table 2 The above-described examples and comparative examples of adhesive films are used to prepare protective panels. The preparation method includes the following steps: The layers are laid up in the following order: continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic composite, film, metal plate, film, and continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic composite. The layers are then hot-pressed, and a roller peeling strip with a length of 350 mm and a width of 60 mm is prepared in accordance with GB / T 1457-2005 standard. The continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites are all 1.0 mm thick and consist of 4 layers of unidirectional continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic composite sheets with the following layup design: 0° / 90° / 90° / 0°. The thickness of each unidirectional continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic composite sheet is 0.25 mm. Each unidirectional continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic composite sheet contains the following components by mass percentage: 65 wt% glass fiber, 29.6 wt% PP, 5 wt% compatibilizer (i.e., PP grafted with maleic anhydride 1), and 0.4 wt% antioxidant (a mixture of antioxidant 1010 and antioxidant 168 in a mass ratio of 1:1). The PP is grade EP640V and was purchased from Sinopec Maoming Petrochemical. The metal sheet is a galvanized steel sheet, model HC420 / 780DP, with a thickness of 0.8mm; The hot pressing temperature is 240℃, the hot pressing pressure is 3 bar, and the hot pressing speed is 3 m / min.

[0065] The following performance tests were performed on the obtained protective plate: Peel strength: Tested according to GB / T 1457-2005 Test method for peel strength of sandwich structure rollers; Impact resistance: Tested according to ASTM D7136 / D7136M-20, with an impact energy of 300J, a ball head diameter of 25mm, and the maximum dent depth of the protective plate was measured.

[0066] The test results are shown in Table 3.

[0067] Table 3 As can be seen from the above data, when the adhesive films of the various embodiments of this application are used for bonding metal and continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic composite materials, they can impart excellent bonding performance and impact resistance. For example, the resulting protective plate has a roller peel strength of more than 240 N·mm / mm; and in the impact resistance test, the maximum indentation depth is less than 9 mm.

[0068] As can be seen from the comparison of Examples 1, 4-7, when the melting point of each PP in the adhesive film is independently within the range of 120-150℃, the adhesive film can better melt and penetrate into the microscopic uneven pores of the metal surface, resulting in a better bonding effect.

[0069] Comparison of Examples 1 and 10-11 shows that when the melting point of maleic anhydride grafted onto PP in the adhesive film is in the range of 120-150℃, the adhesive film can better melt and penetrate into the microscopic uneven pores of the metal surface, resulting in a better bonding effect.

[0070] As can be seen from the comparison of Examples 1, 12-14 and Comparative Examples 1-2, when the added thermoplastic elastomer is EVA, the adhesion to the steel plate is poor because EVA has poor compatibility with PP and the uniformity of the adhesive film is poor. However, when the added thermoplastic elastomer is a copolymer of α-olefin and ethylene, and the number of carbon atoms in the α-olefin is more than 4, the thermoplastic elastomer is softer and can better wet the steel plate, further improving the adhesion performance.

[0071] In Comparative Example 3, the excessive addition of PP-grafted maleic anhydride and thermoplastic elastomer resulted in poor adhesion.

[0072] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Although this application 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 this application without departing from the substance and scope of the technical solutions of this application.
