Method
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of novel surface of clay processing method, use the method energy activated clay surface so that it is energy
Enough efficient and easy grafting organic molecules, by the design to course of reaction parameter, control the kind of surface of clay organic molecule
Class and grafting amount, so that modified clay is applicable to prepare different types of polymer nanocomposites.
Background technology
In recent years, in order to improve the performances such as the mechanics of polymer, barrier properties for gases, a lot of scientific research institutions attempt system with company
Standby composite nano polymer/clay material.It is excellent with intensity, the biggest specific surface area etc. that clay layer itself has high modulus
Different characteristic.It is added with suitable process the serviceability that products obtained therefrom can be greatly improved in polymer, expands it and use neck
Territory.But, the lamella polarity of clay is the highest, and the main polymer chain compatibility with low polarity is bad;And clay layer and interlayer from
Son has the strongest interaction, therefore, it is difficult to make it be dispersed into polymeric matrix with the state of monolithic layer, so that clay
Modified effect can not get fully playing.In order to solve an above difficult problem, current widespread practice is to use quaternary ammonium salt to pass through ion
Clay is modified by the method for exchange.Quaternary ammonium salt can reduce surface of clay polarity, and expands the interlamellar spacing of clay with fall
Interaction between low layer, thus improve clay dispersion in the polymer.
Although said method improves the dispersibility of clay, ignore the interaction between clay and polymer.Viscous
The soil naturally occurring functional group in surface is less, causes clay poor with the interface performance of polymeric matrix, the external force suffered by material
The filler of rigidity cannot be delivered to, so that the potentiation of filler significantly weakens.Filler even can change in extreme circumstances
Become additional impurity, the too early inefficacy of induced material, fracture.Meanwhile, quaternary ammonium salt thermally-stabilised relatively low, seriously limit it at certain
Application in a little high-melting-point polymers.It is especially by solution blending or in situ when composite nano polymer/clay material
The method of polymerization is when preparing, and quaternary ammonium salt can be due to long-time contact with solvent or polymer monomer from montmorillonite layer dissolution.
Further, for high-melting-point polymer, its melt blending temperature the highest (such as nylon, PET etc.), therefore quaternary ammonium salt modified montmorillonoid
When preparing nano composite polymer-montmorillonoid material, range is severely limited.And by coupling agent and clay layer
The methods such as section hydroxyl direct reaction introduce active group and are then available for the hydroxyl value quantitative limitation of reaction by surface of clay, it is difficult to
The interfacial characteristics of clay is greatly improved.Simultaneously as clay and the polarity difference of polymer, during preparing composite
Generally require interpolation compatilizer to improve dispersibility and the compatibility of filler, such as maleic anhydride grafted polymer etc..These auxiliary agents
Although the microscopic appearance of composite can be improved to a certain extent, but enhancing modified effect is not notable, and equally
Result in stability problem and add production cost.
Summary of the invention
The invention provides a kind of novel surface of clay processing mode, can not only in the way of the most simple and effective
Surface of clay introduces functional group, more can improve the clay compatibility in the polymer and dispersibility, thus at polymer and clay
Build stronger interaction between filler, in the case of not using any compatilizer by melt blending, solution blending or
The methods such as person's in-situ polymerization prepare nano composite material, and the performance of gained composite is substantially improved.
