The invention discloses a
black glass fiber reinforced
polypropylene composite material suitable for
infrared laser welding and a preparation method thereof, and belongs to the technical field of
polymer composite materials. The
composite material is prepared from the following components in parts by weight: 40-60 parts of
polypropylene, 20-40 parts of glass fibers, 1-4 parts of
laser-transmitting black color master batches, 2-6 parts of a compatilizer and 0.2-2 parts of an
antioxidant. The core innovation of the invention is as follows: firstly, the
laser-transmitting black color master batch taking a composite inorganic
pigment such as
copper chromium manganese black as a coloring agent is selected, and the laser-transmitting black color master batch and a
maleic anhydride grafted
polypropylene (PP-g-MAH) compatilizer form a synergistic interface
system, so that the contradiction between high
glass fiber content (up to 40 parts) and high near-
infrared laser
transmittance is successfully solved; the
transmittance of a 2mm sample plate under the
wavelength of 980nm is greater than or equal to 20%, and meanwhile, excellent mechanical properties (the tensile strength is greater than 75MPa) are kept; 2, through
system optimization, it is determined that the optimal adding amount of the laser-transmitting black color master batch is 2 parts by weight, and the optimal balance of cost and performance is achieved.
