Technical field
The present invention relates to field of organic, specifically is a kind of polymkeric substance/organic montmorillonite nano composite flame-proof masterbatch and its production and application.
Background technology
In recent years, along with the enhancing of people's environmental consciousness and the appearance successively of strict environmental regulation more that some are relevant with fire retardant material, some traditional Halogen flame-retardant system uses in the macromolecular material flame retardant area have been subjected to increasing restriction, when burning, can produce a large amount of toxic smogs and corrosive gases because contain the macromolecular material of this class flame-retardant system, cause secondary pollution.The new way that the nano composite polymer/laminated silicate material of later 1980s rise has been opened up flame retarded polymeric material.In nano composite polymer/laminated silicate material, the addition of layered silicate only needs in 5% (massfraction, down together) flame retardant properties of polymer materials is significantly improved.
In recent years, both at home and abroad carried out more research at nano composite polymer/laminated silicate material aspect fire-retardant, and obtained gratifying progress, wherein using more layered silicate is polynite.Find that polynite content is that the heat release rate peak value (PHRR) of polystyrene/Nano composite material of montmorillonite of 2% is than pure polystyrene 55% (Flammabillty of polystyrene layered silicate (clay) the nanocomposites:carbonaceous char formation.Fire and materials that descended, 2002,26:247-253); The PHRR of ABS/ Nano composite material of montmorillonite that contains 5% polynite is than pure ABS 28% (the Preparation andcharacterization of flame retardant ABS/montmonrillonite nanocomposite.Applied clayscience that descended, 2004,25:49-55); The PHRR of urethane/Nano composite material of montmorillonite that contains 5% organic modification montmonrillonite is than pure urethane 57% (the Study on the properties of flame retardantpolyurethane/organoclay nanocomposite.Polymer degradation andstability that descended, 2005,87:111-116).Why nano composite polymer/laminated silicate material has flame retardant properties, be that it is in combustion processes, in polymeric matrix, be nano level dispersive layered silicate lamella and " caving in voluntarily " phenomenon can occur, the bigger layered silicate range of distribution of distribution density in burning surface forms than polymeric matrix, the polymeric matrix residue of these layered silicate lamellas and carbonization is closely linked, form fine and close barrier layer, play heat insulation, oxygen barrier and stop inner flammable volatile matter to effects such as burning surface migrations, thus play the incendiary effect that stops.
Can montmorillonite layer play fire retardation in polymkeric substance, key is how to make montmorillonite layer reach nano level in polymeric matrix to disperse.At present, the preparation method of nano composite polymer-montmorillonoid material mainly contains melt intercalated method, in-situ inserted method and solution intercalation method.Melt intercalated method be meant polymkeric substance under molten state by the direct intercalation of external force effect to the method between montmorillonite layer, this method technology is simple, is easy to industrialization; But because the compatibility problem between polynite and the polymeric matrix, the nano level that montmorillonite layer is difficult to reach real in the matrix material that melt intercalated method makes disperses, this has influenced flame retardant properties on the one hand, on the other hand, because the consistency between polymkeric substance and the polynite is relatively poor, may have influence on the mechanical property of some polymkeric substance, particularly compare specific polymers as aggregated structures such as ABS; In addition, the dispersion state of montmorillonite layer is subjected to the influence of fabrication process condition very big in this method, and the course of processing is wayward, because polynite directly adds with the powder form, causes dust from flying easily simultaneously, is unfavorable for large-scale industrial production.In-situ inserted method is to make nano composite polymer-montmorillonoid material by the initiator that enters between cheating engaging layer in the direct trigger monomer polymerization of interlayer, in-situ inserted method can guarantee that montmorillonite layer reaches nano level and disperses in polymeric matrix, and use a small amount of polynite (<5%, massfraction), just can significantly improve every performance index of polymkeric substance, its shortcoming is to be applicable to that the polymer monomer kind of this method is less.The solution intercalation method has certain pollution owing to the use of solvent to environment, in addition, if directly use polymkeric substance to carry out the solution method intercalation, has limited the use of this method owing to some polymkeric substance is difficult to find suitable solvent.
