Automotive Interior Resin Composition for Heat-Humidity Stability
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional resins used in automotive interior materials suffer from hydrolysis and physical property deterioration in high temperature and humidity environments, leading to reduced mechanical properties and heat resistance, necessitating a material that maintains stability and appearance under such conditions.
Innovation Solution
A composite resin composition comprising specific proportions of polybutylene terephthalate resin, polyethylene terephthalate resin, (meth)acrylate compound-conjugated diene compound-aromatic vinyl compound copolymer, carboxy reactive epoxy resin, and glass fiber with SiO2, CaO, and Al2O3, which is processed through melt-kneading and extrusion to enhance heat resistance, impact stability, and crystallization rate controllability.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If PC/ABS or PC/PBT resins are used in automotive interior materials, then excellent physical properties are achieved, but the resins deteriorate in high temperature and high humidity environments due to hydrolysis and transesterification
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a specific copolymer composition containing conjugated diene compounds (10-30 parts by weight), aromatic vinyl compounds (10-30 parts by weight), and (meth)acrylate compounds (5-20 parts by weight) as an intermediary substance that prevents hydrolysis and transesterification reactions between PC and PBT resins, thereby maintaining resin stability in high temperature and high humidity environments without compromising the excellent physical properties
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a composite resin composition by combining polycarbonate resin (30-70 parts by weight), polybutylene terephthalate resin (20-50 parts by weight), and the specific copolymer composition (10-60 parts by weight) in controlled ratios, achieving both excellent physical properties and resistance to hydrolysis and transesterification in harsh environments
2Strength
If conventional resin compositions are used, then manufacturing is simple, but heat resistance and impact stability are insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent optimizes the compositional parameters by specifying precise weight ranges for each component: polycarbonate resin (30-70 parts), polybutylene terephthalate resin (20-50 parts), and the copolymer composition (10-60 parts), achieving enhanced impact stability and heat resistance through controlled parameter variation rather than complex formulation
3Strength
If the resin composition is optimized for mechanical properties, then strength is improved, but fluidity and crystallization rate controllability deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by using the specific copolymer composition with conjugated diene compounds, aromatic vinyl compounds, and (meth)acrylate compounds in controlled amounts to locally modify the resin matrix, providing enhanced mechanical properties in specific regions while maintaining overall fluidity and crystallization rate controllability through the balanced formulation
