This invention relates to the field of lightweight wood-plastic composite materials, specifically to an antistatic lightweight wood-plastic
composite material and its preparation method, which addresses the problems of insufficient antistatic properties and
high density in existing wood-plastic composite materials. The method involves mixing an
antistatic agent with high-density
polyethylene, extruding, cooling, crushing, and sieving to obtain an antistatic
masterbatch. Modified
wood flour, high-density
polyethylene,
maleic anhydride graft compatibilizer,
antioxidant, 2-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzophenone, and γ-aminopropyltriethoxysilane are then mixed, cooled, and the antistatic
masterbatch is added for further mixing. The mixture is fed into a twin-screw extruder, and
cobalt ferrite-coated hollow glass microspheres are added. After
extrusion, cooling, and crushing, the mixture is then subjected to secondary molding in a single-screw extruder, gradient cooling for shaping, and traction
cutting to obtain the antistatic lightweight wood-plastic
composite material. This material possesses excellent antistatic properties,
low density, and lightweight characteristics, along with good
flexural strength and
impact strength, low water absorption, and excellent
water resistance.
