Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to a composite material in which a polyamide-based profile and an olefin / vinyl aromatic polymer-based profile are firmly bonded to each other at the contact zone of the two profiles without an intermediate layer or adhesive, and to a method for making said composite material. [Background technology]
[0002] Thermoplastic polyamide materials have established themselves in many areas of structural component production, particularly in the automotive sector, but also in the electronics sector, for example in the housings of mobile devices, due in particular to their good mechanical properties, resistance to chemicals, good processability, low specific gravity, etc.
[0003] Flexible, highly flexible synthetic resins are used for switch covers, particularly in automotive remote control keys and other electrical and electronic equipment, where protection from moisture and water intrusion is required. These covers, made from highly flexible olefin / vinyl aromatic polymers, must adhere to rigid housing components, and the adhesive strength should be as strong as possible. Often, the composites are also required to be resistant to higher temperatures and the simultaneous presence of moisture and water. Typically, the adhesive strength between a rigid polyamide and a flexible olefin / vinyl aromatic polymer is improved by adding a certain amount of the olefin / vinyl aromatic polymer to the polyamide molding compound or by grafting the olefin / vinyl aromatic polymer with carboxylic acid or anhydride groups.
[0004] The problem with this bonding is that the adhesion between the olefin / vinyl aromatic polymer and the modified polyamide, or between the modified olefin / vinyl aromatic polymer and the polyamide, becomes poor after storage at high temperature and / or high humidity. The modified olefin / vinyl aromatic polymer adheres immediately after the composite is made, but rapidly loses its adhesive strength after storage at a temperature of 70°C and a relative humidity of 62%. When the polyamide is modified with an appropriate amount of a flexible component, the excellent mechanical properties, good processability, and other properties of the polyamide mentioned above are lost. This is where the present invention comes into play. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The object of the present invention is therefore to provide thermoplastic composite materials based on thermoplastic polyamides and thermoplastic olefin / vinyl aromatic polymers, which have mechanical properties suitable for the above-mentioned applications and at the same time have excellent adhesive strength, even after storage at high temperature and in the presence of moisture, in particular after storage at a temperature of 70° C. and a relative humidity of at least 50%. The object of the present application is achieved in accordance with the subject matter of the claims, in particular by a composite of at least one profile based on polyamide and at least one adjacent profile made of an olefin / vinyl aromatic polymer, and by the use of polyethyleneimines or copolymers or derivatives thereof to improve the adhesive strength between the different profiles.
[0006] The core of the present invention is the unexpected discovery that polyethyleneimines significantly improve adhesion between thermoplastic polyamide molding materials and thermoplastic molding materials based on olefin / vinyl aromatic polymers, specifically olefin / vinyl aromatic polymers, including polystyrene block copolymers such as SEBS and SEBS-g-MAH. Polyethyleneimines can be added to polyamide molding materials or olefin / vinyl aromatic polymer-based molding materials without detracting from the beneficial mechanical properties of the polyamide or olefin / vinyl aromatic polymer-based molding materials. Surprisingly, this high adhesive strength is maintained for a long time even under the influence of heat and humidity. Composites according to the present invention preferably achieve adhesive strengths (peel forces) of at least 50 N, specifically at least 70 N (either without storage or immediately after preparation). Furthermore, the adhesive strength of composites according to the present invention preferably decreases by less than 30%, particularly preferably by less than 20%, relative to the initial value before storage during 120 hours of storage at 70°C and 62% relative humidity. The adhesive strength is determined by a roller peel test at 23°C in which a 30 mm wide profile (II) of the composite molding used for the measurement is peeled from profile (I) by moving it on a roller at an angle of 90° and a pulling speed of 50 mm / min. The average peel force [N] across the measurement profile is taken as the adhesive strength.
[0007] It is a known basic principle from other fields that polyethyleneimines can be added to polyamide molding materials, but cannot be added to molding materials based on thermoplastic elastomers, specifically olefin / vinyl aromatic polymers, due to problems with adhesion strength.
[0008] With regard to the prior art, reference is made to the following documents: WO 2015 / 024912 and similarly WO 2015 / 024911 describe composite synthetic resin molded articles having a first synthetic resin component and a second synthetic resin component, and including a polyethyleneimine to improve adhesion between them. These prior art documents also relate to methods for making the composite synthetic resin molded articles, methods for improving adhesion between the first and second synthetic resin components of a composite synthetic resin molded article, and the use of polyethyleneimines to improve adhesion between the first and second synthetic resin components of a composite synthetic resin molded article. Both synthetic resin components are made of polyamide. In addition, one synthetic resin component contains a three-dimensional reinforcing fabric and therefore cannot be thermoplastically processed by injection molding or extrusion. A polyamide-based film without reinforcing fibers is used as a layer to enhance adhesion between the two synthetic resin components. Therefore, all of the described contact zones are formed by a polyamide-based molding material.
[0009] WO 2011 / 138300 describes a composite molding comprising at least one profile made of a polyamide molding compound and at least one profile made of a vulcanized elastomer, such as EPDM, EPM, ACM, fluororubber, NBR, H-NBR, or AEM, either alone or in combination. The polyamide molding compound comprises a mixture of 60 to 99 parts by weight of a polyamide and at least 40% by weight of the following monomers: a) 0.5 to 25% by weight, based on the graft copolymer, of a polyamine having at least four nitrogen atoms, and b) 1 to 40 parts by weight of a graft copolymer that can be prepared using polyamide-forming monomers selected from lactams and ω-aminocarboxylic acids and / or equimolar combinations of diamines and dicarboxylic acids, where the sum of the parts by weight of a) and b) is 100. The presence of the graft copolymer is said to provide improved adhesion between the profiles.
[0010] From the perspective of the present application, the thermoplastic polyamide molding materials or composite moldings proposed herein do not contain crosslinked or vulcanized elastomer components, which may contain, alone or in combination, e.g., EPDM, EPM, ACM, fluororubber, NBR, H-NBR, or AEM. Elastomers can be used in the form of rubber compounds containing, for example, vulcanizing agents, vulcanization activators, oils, and / or fillers. The thermoplastic polyamide molding materials proposed herein also preferably do not contain a graft copolymer that can be prepared using a) 0.5 to 25% by weight, based on the graft copolymer, of a polyamine having at least four nitrogen atoms, and b) 75 to 99.5% by weight, based on the graft copolymer, of a polyamide-forming monomer selected from lactams, ω-aminocarboxylic acids, and / or equimolar combinations of diamines and dicarboxylic acids, where the sum of the parts by weight of a) and b) is 100.
[0011] In view of the present application, it is preferred to use exclusively ungrafted polyethyleneimines as component (B), i.e. the molding material as a whole is free from grafted polyethyleneimines.
[0012] EP 1 541 336 A1 relates to a thermoplastic multilayer composite comprising at least one first layer based on a fluoropolymer and at least one additional second layer directly adjacent to the first layer, at least in part. In such a multilayer composite, adhesion between the two layers is achieved by forming the second layer with a polyamide / polyamine copolymer as the base material. Such a second layer can be particularly advantageously used as an adhesion-promoting layer for a third additional polyamide-based layer. In the form of a hollow body or hollow shape, a structure comprising at least three layers can be used as a fuel line in the automotive sector.
[0013] From the standpoint of the present application, it is preferred to use exclusively polyethyleneimines as component (B) that does not contain any amide-forming copolymer units, i.e., the molding material as a whole does not contain any polyethyleneimines that contain amide-forming copolymer units.
[0014] German Patent Application No. 19736345 A1 relates to a thermoplastic multicomponent injection-molding composition made of at least partially incompatible independent components, i.e., a polyamide molding composition and a modified block copolymer, which are firmly bonded to one another by injection molding or extrusion. The block copolymer is based on vinyl aromatic and olefinic monomers and is grafted with carboxyl groups or groups derived therefrom. The polyamide molding composition contains the modified block copolymer to improve adhesion. The adhesive strength is good immediately after injection molding, but decreases to unacceptable values within one to two days when stored in a standard climate (70°C / 62% relative humidity).
[0015] Therefore, the present invention specifically relates to directly adjacent and firmly adhered (I) a profile formed from a thermoplastic molding material FM-1, which comprises at least one polyamide (A), and optionally fillers and / or reinforcing materials (C) and additives (D), (II) a profile formed from a thermoplastic molding material FM-2 containing at least one olefin and / or vinyl aromatic polymer (E), and optionally fillers and reinforcing materials (F), plasticizers (G), and additives (H); Including, The present invention relates to a composite material, wherein the molding material FM-1 or the molding material FM-2 contains 0.1 to 5.0% by weight of polyethyleneimine (B) or a copolymer or derivative thereof.
[0016] The molding material FM-1 or FM-2 contains polyethyleneimine (B) preferably in an amount of 0.5 to 4.0 weight percent, particularly preferably 0.8 to 3.0 weight percent, based on the total weight of the molding material FM-1 or FM-2, respectively.
[0017] Thus, a composite according to the present invention refers to a molding having at least one profile (I) and at least one profile (II) that are firmly bonded to each other at at least one point or at at least one contact surface without the use of an intermediate layer or adhesive to promote adhesion. That is, profile (I) and profile (II) are in direct contact at at least one point and bonded to each other through this contact. For example, if one or both profiles are planar, the contact surface can be limited to only one narrow side of the profile in question, can extend over the entire side of one profile, or can be characterized by a partial or complete overlap of the upper or lower surfaces of both profiles. For example, profile (II) can be bonded to profile (I) at one or all of its sides and also at a portion of its upper or lower surface.
[0018] The composite material according to the invention is preferably a hard-soft composite in which profile (I) has a higher Shore hardness of D or A than profile (II), each determined in the dry state according to ISO 7619-1 (2012-02). In this respect, it is particularly preferred if profile (I) has a Shore hardness of at least 70D, preferably at least 75D, particularly preferably at least 80D, and / or profile (II) has a Shore hardness of at most 60D, preferably at most 50D, particularly preferably at most 39D or 90A, each determined in the dry state according to ISO 7619-1 (2012-02).
[0019] Furthermore, it is preferred that the elastic modulus of profile (I) is greater than that of profile (II), each determined in the dry state according to ISO 527 (2012). It is preferred that profile (I) has an elastic modulus of at most 1000 MPa, preferably at most 4000 MPa, particularly preferably at most 8000 MPa, and / or profile (II) has an elastic modulus of at most 500 MPa, at most 300 MPa, particularly preferably at most 200 MPa.
[0020] The composite material according to the present invention preferably refers to a rigid-flexible composite in which rigid (hard) and flexible (soft) profiles are adjacent to each other and bonded to each other at at least one point or one contact surface. The rigid (hard) profile (I) and the flexible (soft) profile (II) preferably form separate parts of the molding and can be bonded to each other only at the contact transitions between the profiles, i.e., the contact points or surfaces described above, for example, by abutting and / or overlapping. In this way, the unique and very different material properties of the independent profiles (I) and (II) of the composite are fully utilized. This means that completely different molding materials must be used to produce the various profiles. Polyamide-based molding material FM-1 is used to produce rigid profile (I), while olefin / vinyl aromatic polymer-based molding material FM-2 is used to produce profile (II).
[0021] For purposes of this invention, the terms "olefin / vinyl aromatic polymer" and "olefin and / or vinyl aromatic polymer" are used interchangeably and include a general term including both homopolymeric and copolymeric polyolefins and copolymers made from vinyl aromatic and olefin monomers, as well as modifications thereof grafted with carboxylic acid or carboxylic acid anhydride groups.
[0022] In the context of the present invention, the term "polyamide" (abbreviated PA) is recognized as a generic term that includes homopolyamides and copolymeric polyamides. The selected spellings and abbreviations of polyamides and their monomers are consistent with those specified in ISO 16396-1 (2015(D)). In the following, the abbreviations used are used synonymously with the IUPAC names of the monomers, and specifically the following abbreviations exist for the monomers: MACM stands for bis(4-amino-3-methyl-cyclohexyl)methane, also known as (3,3'-dimethyl-4,4'-diaminodicyclohexylmethane, CAS No. 6864-37-5); PACM stands for bis(4-amino-cyclohexyl)methane, also known as (4,4'-diaminodicyclohexylmethane, CAS No. 1761-71-3); TMDC stands for bis(4-amino-3,5-dimethyl-cyclohexyl)methane, also known as (3,3',5,5'-tetramethyl-4,4'-diamino-dicyclohexylmethane, CAS No. 65962-45-0); T stands for terephthalic acid (CAS No. 100-21-0); and I stands for isophthalic acid (CAS No. 121-95-5).
[0023] In comparison with semi-crystalline polyamides, amorphous polyamides have no or extremely low, almost undetectable heats of fusion. In differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) according to ISO 11357 (2013) at a heating rate of 20 K / min, amorphous polyamides preferably exhibit a heat of fusion of at most 5 J / g, particularly preferably at most 3 J / g, and very particularly preferably 0 to 1 J / g. Due to their amorphous nature, amorphous polyamides have no melting point.

[0101] In a preferred embodiment of the composite, the thermoplastic polyamide molding material FM-1 according to the invention comprises: (A) 40 to 74 weight percent of component (A), 20 to 100 weight percent, preferably 40 to 80 weight percent, of at least one semi-crystalline acyclic aliphatic polyamide (A1) and / or at least one semi-aromatic semi-crystalline polyamide (A2), 0 to 80 weight percent, preferably 20 to 60 weight percent, of at least one amorphous semi-aromatic polyamide (A4) and / or at least one cycloaliphatic polyamide (A3), Component (A), wherein the sum of the weight percentages of components (A1) to (A4) is 100 weight percent; (B) 0.8 to 3.0 weight percent polyethyleneimine; (C) 25 to 55 weight percent fillers and / or reinforcing materials; (D) 0.2 to 2.0 weight percent of an additive other than (A) to (C). It consists of The total of (A) to (D) is 100% by weight of the thermoplastic polyamide molding material, and the thermoplastic material FM-2 according to the present invention is (E) 55 to 94.9 weight percent of at least one vinyl aromatic polymer, particularly preferably at least one vinyl aromatic polymer selected from the group consisting of styrene-ethylene-butylene-styrene block copolymer (SEBS), styrene-ethylene-propylene-styrene block copolymer (SEPS), styrene-butylene-styrene block copolymer (SBS), styrene-styrene-butylene-styrene block copolymer (SSBS), grafted with acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, or maleic anhydride, and / or polyethylene, polypropylene, polybutadiene, poly-4-methylpentene, ethylene a vinyl aromatic polymer selected from the group consisting of ethylene-propylene copolymer, ethylene-butene copolymer, ethylene-methylhexadiene copolymer, propylene-methylhexadiene copolymer, ethylene-octene copolymer, ethylene-propylene-butene copolymer, ethylene-propylene-hexene copolymer, ethylene-propylene-methylhexadiene copolymer, poly(ethylene-vinyl acetate) (EVA), ethylene-ethyl acrylate copolymer (EEA), ethylene-hexene copolymer, and ethylene-propylene-diene terpolymer, wherein the degree of graft polymerization is from 0.1 to 4.0 weight percent based on the graft polymer (E); (F) 0 to 10 weight percent fillers and / or reinforcing materials; (G) 5 to 35 wt. % of a plasticizer; (H) 0.1 to 4.0 weight percent of additives other than (E), (F), and (G). It consists of The total of (E) to (H) is 100 weight percent of the thermoplastic molding material FM-2.
[0102] The present invention also relates to the use of the thermoplastic molding materials FM-1 and FM-2 as described above for producing such composites. The composites according to the invention can be produced by injection molding or extrusion.
[0103] The method according to the invention for producing the composite material described above is preferably based on injection molding and comprises the following steps: (i) inserting a molding comprising at least one profile (I) formed from molding material FM-1 into an injection mold or injecting thermoplastic molding material FM-1 into an injection mold to form at least one profile (I), and (ii) the step of injecting the thermoplastic molding material FM-2 to form at least one profile (II) Including, Introducing the melt of molding material FM-1 and the melt of molding material FM-2 into an injection mold in parallel or sequentially without mixing or substantially without mixing; The process is such that the shapes (I) and (II) are in contact at least at one point.
[0104] In this case, it is preferable that the molding material FM-2 forms a flat profile (II) in the finished injection-molded product that is in contact with the profile (I) formed from the molding material FM-1, preferably on narrow sides and / or partial upper or lower surfaces, particularly preferably only on both sides.
[0105] In the context of the present description, the definition "without or substantially without mixing" means that the thermoplastic molding materials FM-1 and FM-2 for the composite enter the molding tool in an extrusion flow or in a co-flow manner.
[0106] In the process according to the invention, in step (i), the molded body comprising the profile (I) can be inserted into the injection mold as an independent preform made at least partially from the molding material FM-1. According to an alternative embodiment, this molded body is made in the injection mold in step (i).
[0107] The composite can be produced in a single injection molding process, i.e., steps (i) and (ii) can be carried out in parallel. This approach is advantageous due to its effectiveness and simplicity. However, in view of the present invention, it is also possible, and in many cases advantageous, to inject the thermoplastic molding material FM-1 into the injection mold in a first step, followed by the injection of the second thermoplastic molding material FM-2 in a second step (step ii).
[0108] The single step procedure can advantageously utilize single step standard sandwich injection processing or single step monosandwich processing known to those skilled in the art.
[0109] However, in view of the present invention, a multi-channel sandwich injection molding process can also be utilized in which two melts, molding materials FM-1 and FM-2, are injected into the injection mold from two different hot runner systems.
[0110] In the monosandwich process, the thermoplastic molding material FM-2 for the soft layer is injected from a simple extruder into the main cylinder containing the worm, e.g., a pusher screw extruder, before the thermoplastic molding material FM-1 arranged for the hard layer. The materials arranged vertically in the main cylinder in terms of orientation and rheology are injected into the mold in a single injection molding process, where the composite according to the invention is formed.
[0111] A molded article using the profile (I) can be produced separately from the molding material FM-1, or can be produced as is, in other words, in the same injection mold.
[0112] The insert process, in which a molded body using the shape material (I) or shape material (II) that has been separately prepared in advance is inserted into a molding die, is particularly suitable for producing small batches or large-sized carriers.
[0113] When producing composite parts using the profile (I) by injection molding, it is advantageous to use a core-back molding process. In this method, a tool is used in which one or more slides are drawn into the preform, i.e., after injection molding of the profile (I) based on the molding material FM-1, to create a cavity for the composite part from the molding material FM-2. This tool is also called a "multislide tool." Alternatively, the carrier can be produced using a turning tool.
[0114] In the composite according to the invention, excellent adhesion between the profile (I) and the profile (II) is achieved.
[0115] The present invention also relates to the use of polyethyleneimine or a copolymer or derivative thereof in a composite comprising a profile (I) formed from a molding material containing a polyamide and a profile (II) formed from a molding material containing an olefin / vinyl aromatic polymer, to improve the adhesive strength between the profiles (I) and (II). Again, the polyethyleneimine is preferably present in the molding material in an amount of 0.5 to 4.0 weight percent, preferably 0.8 to 3.0 weight percent, based on the total weight of the polyamide molding material. In the case of polyethyleneimine, branched polyethyleneimine is preferred, with a primary to secondary amine ratio of 1:2 to 2:1, preferably 1.2:1 to 1:1.2, and / or a primary to tertiary amine ratio of 3:1 to 1:1, preferably 2:1 to 1.4:1, and / or a secondary to tertiary amine ratio of 3:1 to 1:1, preferably 2:1 to 1.2:1.
[0116] More preferably, the polyethyleneimine is a branched polyethyleneimine having a number average molar mass Mn in the range from 500 to 50,000 or from 500 to 25,000 g / mol, preferably in the range from 600 to 2000 or from 1000 to 2500 g / mol.
[0117] The polyethyleneimine can preferably have the other properties already mentioned above for the thermoplastic polyamide molding compounds.
[0118] Preferred applications of the composite material include car ignition keys, function keys for car ignition keys, all kinds of remote controls e.g. for televisions, cranes and overhead cranes, handles for various pliers and power hand tools, housing seals for sealing against moisture and water, housings with flexible membranes or sealing lips, electrical switches with flexible membrane covers, electrical plugs with waterproof sealing lips, etc. Further embodiments are specified in the dependent claims.

[0120] JPEG0007792748000001.jpg68170 DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0121] Preparation of polyamide molding material FM-1 Polyamide granules and additives were metered into the feed zone, and glass fibers were added to the molten polymer via a side feeder 3 housing unit before the nozzle. The components in Table 1 were mixed in the proportions in Table 2 in a Werner and Pfleiderer twin-screw extruder using a 25 mm screw diameter corresponding to the given process parameters (see Table 3). The compounds outlined in Table 2 were extruded as strands through a 3 mm diameter nozzle, quenched with water, and granulated. The granules were dried at 100°C under a vacuum of 30 mbar for 24 hours.

[0125] To determine the mechanical properties, the compounds were injected into test specimens using an Arburg Allrounder 320-210-750 injection molding machine at specified cylinder temperatures of 240 to 280°C in zones 1 to 4 and a mold temperature of 100°C.
[0126] Preparation of molding material FM-2 Ingredient (I): Kraton G1651 (SEBS) 42.7% by weight Polybond 3200 (PP-g-MAH)24.0% by weight Plasticizer (Paraffinum Perliquidum) 33.0% by weight Irganox HP2921 0.3% by weight Component (II): Kraton FG1901 GT (SEBS-g-MAH) 99.7% by weight Irganox HP2921 0.3% by weight Component (III): Kraton G1651 (SEBS) 42.7% by weight Polybond 3200 (PP-g-MAH)23.0% by weight Plasticizer (Paraffinum Perliquidum) 33.0% by weight Lupasol G20 1.0% by weight Irganox HP2921 0.3% by weight
[0127] The SEBS, PP, and additives were metered into the feed zone, and the plasticizer was added to the molten polymer using a metering pump through the cylinder bore at the heating zone 3 level. These components were mixed in the specified ratios in a Werner and Pfleiderer twin-screw extruder with a 25 mm screw diameter at an average zone temperature of 200 to 230°C, a screw speed of 250 rpm, and a throughput of 8 kg / h. The molten polymer was extruded as a strand through a 3 mm diameter nozzle, quenched with water, and then granulated. The granules were dried at 80°C under a 30 mbar vacuum for 24 hours. The Shore hardness of test specimens made from this granulated material was 80A for molding material FM-2(I), 70A for molding material FM-2(II), and 78A for molding material FM-2(III). Preparation of composite test specimens
[0128] An Arburg Allrounder 520A injection molding machine equipped with a three-zone 30 mm standard screw was used to produce composite test specimens, so-called 2K peel plates made from a frame and a tab. For this purpose, in the first step (i), a frame plate (profile (I)) was injection-molded from molding material FM-1 (i.e., polyamide molding materials B1, B2, and VB1 to VB5). 25 seconds after the start of injection of the frame plate, the slide that occupied the cavity for profile (II) during step (i) was withdrawn from the tool. In the second step (ii), molding material FM-2 was injected into this now-vacant cavity, thus forming the flexible tab (profile (II)). The injection molding parameters used are summarized in the table below. Composite test specimen 1 can be seen in Figure 1. The frame has a side length of 120 mm, a width of 90 mm, and a thickness of 3 mm, while the tab 4 has a side length of 150 mm, a width of 30 mm, and a thickness of 1 mm. The overlapping area of the frame 2 with the tab 4 is 50 × 30 mm. 2 The frame 2 includes an opening 3 having a side length c of 55 mm and a width d of 50 mm, and is arranged in the frame 2 so that the side of the tab 4 away from the sprue is positioned above the frame opening 3.
[0129] JPEG0007792748000005.jpg58170
[0130] Measurement method Unless otherwise specified, the test specimens were used dry. For this purpose, they were stored in a dry environment, i.e., on silica gel, at room temperature for at least 48 hours after injection molding.
[0131] The following measurement methods were used for this application: Melting point (Tm) and enthalpy of fusion (ΔHm): The melting point and enthalpy of fusion of the particulate material were determined according to ISO 11357-3 (2013). The DSC (differential scanning calorimetry) method was carried out at a heating rate of 20 K / min.
[0132] Glass transition temperature, Tg: The particulate glass transition temperature T was measured using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) according to ISO 11357-2 (2013). g This was performed for each of two heating runs at a heating rate of 20 K / min. After the first heating run, the sample was quenched in dry ice. The glass transition temperature (T g ) was determined during the second heating. The "half-maximum" method identified the midpoint of the glass transition region as the glass transition temperature.
[0133] Relative viscosity, η rel : The relative viscosity was determined at 20°C according to ISO 307 (2007). For this purpose, 0.5 g of polymer particles were weighed into 100 ml of m-cresol (unless otherwise specified) and the relative viscosity (RV) was calculated according to Chapter 11 of the standard, according to RV = t / t0.
[0134] Tensile modulus: The tensile modulus was determined according to ISO 527 (2012) at 23 °C, a pulling speed of 1 mm / min, with an ISO tensile rod (type A1, dimensions 170 × 20 / 10 × 4) according to standard: ISO / CD 3167 (2003).
[0135] Breaking stress and elongation: The breaking stress and elongation at break were determined according to ISO 527 (2012) at 23 °C, a tensile speed of 5 mm / min, on ISO tensile rods type A1 (dimensions 170 × 20 / 10 × 4 mm) prepared according to ISO standard / CD 3167 (2003).
[0136] Charpy impact strength: ISO179 / 2 * eU (1997, * The Charpy impact strength was determined at 23 °C on ISO test rods type B1 (dimensions 80 × 10 × 4 mm) prepared according to ISO / CD 3167 (2003) according to JIS B 2 = instrumentation.
[0137] Notched Charpy impact strength: ISO179 / 2 * eA (1997, *The notched Charpy impact strength was determined at 23 °C on ISO test rods type B1 (dimensions 80 × 10 × 4 mfm) prepared according to ISO / CD 3167 (2003) according to 2 = instrumentation. Shore hardness
[0138] Shore hardness was determined using a Karl Franknach hardness tester according to ISO 7619-1 (2012-02) according to measurement methods A and D. The arithmetic mean value was obtained from five measurements. The dimensions of the test specimens used were 60 x 60 x 4 mm, and the specimens were stored at 23°C in a dry place until immediately before testing, but for at least 48 hours after preparation. Measurements were also performed at 23°C, with readings taken after 15 seconds.
[0139] Adhesion strength: Composite specimens (2K peel plates) for determining adhesion strength according to Figure 1 were stored at 70 °C and 62% relative humidity for different times. The specimens were stored overnight (12 h) in an air-conditioned environment at 23 °C / 50% relative humidity until the peel test. Storage time 0 h means that the prepared composite specimens were stored in a dry environment, i.e., on silica gel, at room temperature (23 °C) for 48 h after injection molding. The terms used below in relation to the composite specimens and holder for the roller peel test refer to Figure 1.
[0140] The adhesion strength was determined by a roller peel test at 23 °C. The 30 mm-wide tab 4 (section II) of the composite specimen 1 used for the test was peeled from the frame 2 (section I) at a pulling speed of 50 mm / min using a tensile tester while moving at a 90° angle on a deflection roller 7. Table 2 shows the average peel force [N] determined from five independent measurements of the test section. The tab part away from the sprue was attached to the upper specimen holder of the tensile tester, and the specimen holder 6 was attached to the lower specimen holder. The deflection roller 7 used had a diameter of 20 mm. The composite specimen frame 2 was free to move in a plane perpendicular to the tensile axis Z and was stabilized by an anchor roller 8. During the peel test, the frame 2 was moved intermittently across the entire measurement area of the holder so that the failure zone (the zone between the still-adhered and already-detached parts) was always in the plane of the tensile axis Z.
[0141] Discussion of the results: Composites of profiles (I) made from polyamide molding compound B1 and profiles (II) made from molding compound FM-2(I) according to the invention have good adhesion strength and maintain this good adhesion at approximately the same level even after 5 days of storage at 70 °C and 62% relative humidity. By comparison, in contrast to B1, the adhesion strength of VB4, which does not contain component (B), to FM-2(I) is already 10% lower after preparation and insufficient after storage. The same situation emerges when comparing components B2 / FM-2(I) and VB5 / FM-2(I): excellent adhesion can be measured to B2 after preparation and after storage, while the adhesion of VB5 is insufficient after storage. Looking at the adhesion strength to molding compound FM-2(II), it becomes clear that molding compound B1 according to the invention has excellent adhesion strength both before and after storage, while the adhesion strength of VB4 is already 2.5 times lower than that of B1 after preparation and is insufficient after storage. The modification of polyamide molding compounds with MAH-grafted polyolefins according to the prior art does not result in sufficient adhesion in the composite, as shown by the comparative examples VB1 and VB3: when component (B) is simultaneously contained in both molding compounds or profiles (I) and (II) of the composite, no or only very weak adhesion strength is observed.
