Description

Impact-resistant polypropylene material with high melt strength
Technical Field
The invention relates to a polypropylene material, in particular to an impact-resistant polypropylene material with high melt strength and a preparation method thereof.
Background
The impact-resistant polypropylene has excellent high and low temperature impact strength, higher rigidity such as tensile strength, flexural modulus and the like and higher heat resistance temperature, and is widely applied to various fields such as molded or extruded automobile parts, household appliance parts, containers, household goods and the like. The impact polypropylene is generally used for injection processing due to low melt strength, and when the impact polypropylene is used for blow molding, the problems of unstable size of a mold blank, uneven thickness of a product and even no molding can be realized, and the like exist.
A common practice to increase the melt strength of polypropylene is to lower the melt index, i.e. increase the polypropylene molecular weight, but this can lead to difficulties in melting and extruding the material. Another method is to broaden the molecular weight distribution, for example, US7365136 and US6875826 report a method for preparing homo-and random-copolymerized polypropylene with wide molecular weight distribution and high melt strength, which selects alkoxysilane as an external electron donor (such as dicyclopentyldimethoxysilane), and regulates the molecular weight and distribution by adjusting the hydrogen concentration in a plurality of reactors connected in series, thereby achieving the effect of improving the melt strength of polypropylene. WO9426794 discloses a process for the preparation of high melt strength homo-and random co-polypropylene in multiple reactors in series by adjusting the hydrogen concentration in the different reactors to prepare high melt strength polypropylene with broad molecular weight distribution or bimodal distribution, the properties of the catalyst being not adjusted in the individual reactors, so that a large amount of hydrogen is required for the preparation process.
CN102134290 and CN102134291 disclose a preparation method of homo-polypropylene with wide molecular weight distribution and high melt strength, which adopts a plurality of reactors connected in series to prepare homo-polypropylene or random co-polypropylene with wide molecular weight distribution and high melt strength by controlling the types and proportions of external electron donor components in different reaction stages and combining the control of hydrogen dosage of a molecular weight regulator.
The chinese application patent 201210422726.5 also reports a preparation method for obtaining homo-polypropylene or random co-polypropylene with wide molecular weight distribution and high melt strength by adjusting and controlling the isotactic index and hydrogen regulation sensitivity of the catalyst in different reactors through the reasonable matching of two different types of external electron donors, namely silane and diether.
The above patents report methods for preparing homo-polypropylene or random co-polypropylene having high melt strength, that is, homo-polypropylene or random co-polypropylene prepared by these methods have insufficient rigidity, toughness or impact resistance in spite of having high melt strength, thereby limiting the applications of the obtained polypropylene. Therefore, it would be of great significance to provide an impact polypropylene having high melt strength, high rigidity and toughness with a rubber component and a dispersed phase structure of rubber, and a method for preparing the same.
