Background technology
Ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene(UHMWPE) (UHMWPE) is a kind of thermoplastic engineering plastic of excellent performance, because of its excellent physical and mechanical properties, make it to be widely used in industries such as machinery, chemical industry, food and papermaking, can be used as and make corrosion-resistant, wear-resistant, HI high impact, the low temperature resistant and starting material that can not use the component of lubricating oil, also can be used as the starting material of preparation feed bin lining, chute, slideway liner plate, slide rail, fuel tank etc.
Ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene(UHMWPE) belongs to the linear macromolecule structure, molecular chain is very long, and tangle mutually, melt viscosity is high, because it is extremely insensitive to hot shearing, shear fracture takes place easily, or be heated and degrade, and, can't satisfy some special requirements of client because macromolecule polyethylene base itself exists defectives such as heat-drawn wire is low, hardness is not enough, the dimensional contraction rate is big.For example the use temperature of some ash discharge pipeline of power plant reaches more than 90 ℃; The material wear ability of some coal mine equipment requires to have surpassed the wear resistance index of pure ultra-high molecular mass polyethylene; Glass industry proposes further to improve the surface hardness of superhigh molecular weight polyethylene material, enables to use in the sector.
At of the particular requirement of above-mentioned industry, need be fit to some special requirements of industries by pure ultra-high molecular mass polyethylene is carried out modification to superhigh molecular weight polyethylene material.Adopting nanotechnology that ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene(UHMWPE) is carried out modification is exactly one of numerous methods.But, with nanotechnology ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene(UHMWPE) is carried out the modification meeting and run into following problems: (1) is because the ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene(UHMWPE) molecular chain is very long, tangle mutually each other, even under molten state, its melt viscosity is still very high, causes directly difficulties in dispersion in the pure ultra-high molecular mass polyethylene matrix of Nano filling particle.(2) there is interfacial effect between Nano filling particle and ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene(UHMWPE) matrix, can reduces even eliminate two alternate interfaces, realize two alternate compatible even combinations.(3) because ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene(UHMWPE) is of many uses, when different occasions were used, the client can propose different requirements to the performance of product, and the nano composite material of single variety is difficult to satisfy different performance requriementss.Therefore, at specific requirement, the Nano composite material of polyethylene in super high molecular weight of exploitation series of different has realistic meaning.
Ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene(UHMWPE) is a kind of hydrophobicity, non-polar polymer, and general nano inorganic material all is hydrophilic polar materials, because the molecule segment of ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene(UHMWPE) is extremely long, twine severity mutually, therefore can't adopt fusion-grafting method of modifying commonly used.U.S. Brennan, people such as A.B. are by adopting
60The method of Co-gamma-ray irradiation ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene(UHMWPE) surface grafting polystyrene and styrene-propene acid butyl ester-cyclohexyl methyl acrylate terpolymer, however irradiation grafting modification expense is very high, is unfavorable for industrial applications.EP0722973A1, Korea S Yim, Chae I. etc. discloses a kind of modified with ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene method, employing uses the peroxide crosslinking ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene(UHMWPE) strengthening its wear resistance under molten state, but ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene(UHMWPE) mechanical property after crosslinked can descend.
