Comparative example 1PC/ Nano-meter SiO_22The preparation of composite
One, PC surface modification SiO2The method of nanoparticle, concretely comprises the following steps:
1) ultrasonic disperse 5~10g Nano-meter SiO_22SiO is obtained in 500mlTHF solvent2Dispersion liquid, ultrasonic power and time respectively 100W and 1h;Subsequently 40~45gPC pellet is dissolved under mechanical agitation above-mentioned SiO2Dispersion liquid, is stirred at room temperature 4h;PC adds 500ml methanol after being completely dissolved and promotes PC/SiO2Pre-composition Precipitation, standby after filtration drying;
2) by dry for 5g PC/SiO2Pre-composition is dissolved in 200mlTHF again, the nanoparticle in high speed centrifugation (10000rpm, 30min) separation and Extraction mixture;In order to ensure that the nanoparticle surface separated is absent from free PC strand, by in the centrifugal precipitate redispersion obtained first to THF solvent, ultrasonic 15min separates to recentrifuge after homogeneous solution, repeat above-mentioned centrifugal-purification process of dispersion-centrifugal at least 4 times, the Nano-meter SiO_2 obtained2Particle is referred to as SiO2-0 (namely pre-composition is without melt blending, and the melt blending time is 0min).
By gained SiO2-0 carries out thermogravimetric test (specific experiment according to ISO11358-1997 standard perform), result as it is shown in figure 1, as shown in Figure 1, SiO2The thermogravimetric curve of-0 almost with original SiO2Thermogravimetric curve overlap, (50~700 DEG C), SiO in Range of measuring temp2-0 mass loss only having about 2.3wt%, illustrate solution blending process can not graft polymers to Nano-meter SiO_22Surface.
Two, PC/ Nano-meter SiO_22The preparation of composite
By the original SiO in step one2And SiO2-0 mixes with PC Matrix Solution: the SiO of 100mg2SiO with 100mg2-0 is added separately in 200mlTHF, ultrasonic 1h (ultrasonic power 100W), dissolve 9.9gPC pellet subsequently respectively and obtain nanoparticle suspension, until completely dissolved (2h), add 200ml methanol extraction under mechanical agitation respectively and precipitate out composite, equal vacuum drying 24h under 80 DEG C of conditions after filtration, obtains PC/SiO2Nano composite material (abbreviation PCS) PCSp and PCS0.
By dry PCSp and PCS0 composite by hot-forming, hot-forming condition: preheat 10min at 240 DEG C, then hot pressing 5min under 15MPa pressure, is cooled to glass transition temperature (145 DEG C) rear pressure release, sampling below subsequently at this pressure;The nanoparticle impact on composite materials property, stretching condition: under room temperature, draw speed is 10mm/min is observed by extension test;Fig. 5 is the stresses typical-strain curve of pure PC and PCS composite;Fig. 6 is hot strength and the fracture elongation of pure PC and PCS composite;The tensile property of composite is specifically tested and is performed according to GB/T1040-2006 standard.By Fig. 5 and Fig. 6 it can be seen that add original SiO2And SiO2After-0 particle, the hot strength of PC is kept approximately constant in range of error;But due to the non-grafted polymer of nanoparticle surface, surface can cause more greatly the reason reunited, and tensile toughness sharply worsens;73.8% and 72% is declined respectively compared to pure PC, PCSp and PCS0 fracture of composite materials elongation percentage.
Embodiment 1PC/ functionalized nano SiO2The preparation of composite
One, functionalized nano SiO2Preparation
In this embodiment, the preparation of pre-composition and centrifugal treating method are with comparative example 1, simply by pre-composition (weighing 20g therein) melt blending 10min on the twin screw extruder, wherein, screw speed 30rpm, melt temperature 250 DEG C, pelletize after extrusion;The functional nanoparticle that this embodiment obtains is referred to as SiO2-10。
By gained SiO2-10 carry out thermogravimetric test (method is with comparative example 1), result as it is shown in figure 1, as shown in Figure 1, SiO2The thermogravimetric curve of-10 is compared to original SiO2Having significant difference, have obvious mass loss within the scope of 350~550 DEG C, the physics chemical action illustrated in melt blending 10min process promotes organic polymer to be grafted on Nano-meter SiO_22Surface.
Additionally, SiO2FTIR (Fig. 2 (a), the SiO of-102There is PC characteristic peak in the FTIR curve of-10, such as 2972,1779,1226cm-1Deng) and XPS (Fig. 3 (a) and (b), SiO2The appearance of-10 surface typical case's PC strand feature keys, such as C-C, C-O-C, C=O etc.) result all shows that the PC strand of Partial digestion is grafted to Nano-meter SiO_2 in melt blending process2Surface.In conjunction with original SiO2With the thermogravimetric curve of pure PC, be computed SiO2The surface grafting rate of-10 is 30.2%.
Fig. 2 (b) is SiO2-10 and pure PC carbonyl region (C=O) infrared spectrum, as shown in Fig. 2 (b), SiO2Carbonyl group (C=O) the infrared signature purer PC in peak position of-10 surface PC strands offsets;Fig. 3 (b) and Fig. 3 (c) is Nano-meter SiO_22With the pure PC XPS swarming fitted figure in C1s, Si2p position, as shown in Fig. 3 (b) and (c), SiO2The XPS characteristic peak of-10 surface PC strand C=O and C-O-C key also there occurs skew, and the Si-OH key of particle surface is changed into Si-O-C key.Result above proves that melt blending makes PC and Nano-meter SiO_22There occurs ester exchange reaction, this is due to Nano-meter SiO_22Surface silanol group (Si-OH) when the melt blending of high temperature Strong shear, and carbonate group generation alcoholysis in PC strand, cause PC strand covalence graft to Nano-meter SiO_22Surface.Additionally, original SiO2The lower valency Si atom that surface exists is oxidized to Si in melt blending process4+(Fig. 3 (c)).
It addition, our com-parison and analysis pure PC, pure PC fusion plastification 10min and PC/SiO2Exterior appearance after melt blending 10min;Result shows, PC granule is after melt blending 10min, particularly at Nano-meter SiO_22Under existence condition, there is notable change in appearance color, illustrates that thermal degradation occurs PC in melt blending process, and Nano-meter SiO_22Introducing accelerate above-mentioned thermal degradation process.Additionally, SiO2The thermogravimetric curve (Fig. 1) of-10 shows that the thermal degradation temperature of its Surface coating polymer molecular chain is lower than pure PC, and this also illustrates that the PC strand of degraded is grafted on Nano-meter SiO_22Surface.This is likely due to PC strand and occurs degraded to form terminal hydroxyl in melt blending process, then with Nano-meter SiO_22The silicone hydroxyl generation condensation reaction on surface is grafted to nanoparticle surface.
Fig. 4 is original SiO2(a) and SiO2Transmission electron microscope (TEM) picture of-10 (b) and static contact angle (illustration), as shown in Figure 4, due to the speciality of surface hydrophilicity, original SiO2(Fig. 4 (a)) and SiO2-10 (Fig. 4 (b)) all show as typically " chain " structure, and carefully contrast is it is observed that SiO2-10 particle profiles are more smooth, and mean diameter is higher than original SiO2(25.8nm > 21.5nm);More significantly difference can be passed through the feature of the inside and outside particle of comparison diagram 4 (b) circle and obtain.Two kinds of particle surface water-wet behaviors are by static contact angle (Fig. 4 illustration) display, due to the existence of surface grafting polymerization thing, SiO2-10 surface hydrophilicities are lower than original SiO2, this is beneficial to adopt SiO2-10 prepare polymer matrix composite.
Two, PC/ functionalized nano SiO2The preparation of composite
Further, by SiO2-10 nanoparticles are introduced back into PC matrix, prepare PCS10 composite.Preparation process is consistent with preparation PCSp and PCS0 composite in comparative example 1 with condition.Fig. 5 is the stresses typical-strain curve of pure PC and PCS composite;Fig. 6 is hot strength and the fracture elongation of pure PC and PCS composite;By Fig. 5 and Fig. 6 it can be seen that the hot strength of PCS10 composite and the purer PC of fracture elongation all improve a lot, increase rate reaches 16.8% and 241.1% respectively;This key factor is in SiO2Define caused by strong bonding interface between PC strand and the PC matrix of-10 surface graftings, it was shown that the present invention utilizes functionalization SiO2When nanoparticle prepares composite, hot strength and fracture elongation to PC matrix serve bigger raising effect.

Two, PC/ functionalized nano SiO2The preparation of composite
Further, by SiO2-20 nanoparticles are introduced back into PC matrix, prepare PCS20 composite.Preparation process is consistent with preparation PCSp and PCS0 composite in comparative example 1 with condition.Fig. 5 is the stresses typical-strain curve of pure PC and PCS composite;Fig. 6 is hot strength and the fracture elongation of pure PC and PCS composite;By Fig. 5 and Fig. 6 it can be seen that SiO2-20 introduce the hot strength and toughness that also are able to reinforcing material simultaneously in PC matrix, but increase rate is less than PCS10, i.e. SiO2-20 pairs of PC matrix potentiation are weaker than SiO2-10。
