Description

High-melt-strength impact-resistant polypropylene foamed sheet and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of high polymer materials, in particular to a high-melt-strength impact-resistant polypropylene foamed sheet and a preparation method thereof.
Background
Foamed sheets are widely used for containers, building materials, automobile parts, impact energy absorbing materials, and the like. Polypropylene (PP) -based foamed sheets have excellent rigidity and thermal stability compared to polystyrene-based foamed sheets, and the demand for it has been increasing in recent years. The method for forming polypropylene extrusion foaming sheet is also widely regarded. The polypropylene foaming sheet and the polypropylene board are mainly obtained by an extrusion foaming method, and specifically, the mixing and melting of foaming components are directly completed in an extruder, and the foaming process is completed through the decomposition and overflow of the foaming agent in the extruder. The direct extrusion foaming method is a method in which the mixing, melting and foaming processes of foaming components are directly completed in an extruder, and can be called a one-step extrusion foaming molding method. Direct extrusion foam molding methods can be further classified into physical foam and chemical foam methods according to the foaming agent used, and the common control factor in either method is to establish a sufficiently high head pressure to suppress premature foaming of the foam system near the extrusion die, and to release the pressure for foam molding once the foam system enters the die. The specific extrusion process, energy consumption and equipment requirements vary according to the published patent.
Compared with the polystyrene series resin foaming plate forming products, the polypropylene foaming forming body obtained by molding the polypropylene foaming plate has excellent performances such as corrosion resistance, toughness, heat resistance, compression rebound resilience and the like. However, polypropylene has poor low temperature impact properties, especially propylene homopolymer. The impact polypropylene can be prepared through process adjustment. 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-resistant temperature, and is widely applied in many fields. The foamed sheet prepared from the impact-resistant polypropylene also has good low-temperature resistance, and has wide prospects in the fields of cold chain transportation and packaging, sports equipment, building heat preservation, aerospace and the like. However, the conventional general-purpose impact polypropylene has low melt strength, and when the conventional general-purpose impact polypropylene is used for preparing foamed sheets, the problems of merging and breaking of cells, poor molding forming capability and the like exist.
The homo-polypropylene or random co-polypropylene prepared in the prior art often cannot have high melt strength and impact resistance, and has poor performances such as rigidity and toughness, so that the performance exertion and application of the polypropylene foamed sheet prepared on the basis of the polypropylene material are still limited. Therefore, the polypropylene foam board with high melt strength and impact resistance, which is prepared by using the high-melt strength and impact resistance polypropylene as a base material and combining an optimized foaming process, and has good high-low-temperature impact resistance and high closed cell ratio is still widely demanded by the current market.

The above high melt strength impact resistanceThe polypropylene has excellent rigidity and toughness and higher melt strength, and the foamed sheet prepared by using the polypropylene as the base resin has high melt strength, rigidity and toughness. Therefore, the invention provides the high-melt-strength impact-resistant polypropylene foamed sheet.
In the present invention, the high melt strength impact polypropylene refers to polypropylene comprising the above-described features.
In the present invention, high melt strength means a melt strength of more than 0.1N, especially 0.15-0.25N.

In the present invention, the content of the rubber phase of the base resin, in terms of the xylene solubles content at room temperature, can be determined according to the CRYSTEX method. For ease of characterization, the molecular weight of the rubber phase is based on the molecular weight of the trichlorobenzene solubles.
In the base resin used in the invention, the random copolymerization polypropylene is used as a continuous phase to provide certain rigidity for the polypropylene base resin, and the propylene-ethylene copolymer rubber is used as a disperse phase to improve the toughness of the polypropylene base resin. In order to ensure that the product of the invention has better rigidity-toughness balance, the invention adopts ethylene-propylene copolymer as the rubber component, and the inventor of the invention finds that in the high melt strength impact polypropylene material used in the invention, when the ethylene content in the xylene soluble content at room temperature of the material is more than or equal to 28 wt% and less than 45 wt%, the impact polypropylene material has better rigidity and toughness. In particular, in the present invention, by arranging the random copolymer polypropylene continuous phase to include at least a first random copolymer polypropylene and a second random copolymer polypropylene, and the first random copolymer polypropylene and the second random copolymer polypropylene are each independently selected from a propylene-ethylene random copolymer or a propylene-1-butene random copolymer or an ethylene-propylene-1-butene terpolymer, the continuous phase and the dispersed phase are better compounded with each other, resulting in an impact polypropylene material with high melt strength and high toughness, which is advantageous as a base resin for polypropylene foamed sheets. It is to be understood that the term "ethylene content" as used herein means the weight content of the portion of ethylene monomer in the polymer in which the ethylene monomer is present. In this context, the other means the "butene content" in the polymer, which is synonymous therewith.
In order to obtain higher melt strength, the melt index of the high melt strength impact polypropylene material used in the present invention is preferably controlled in the range of 0.1 to 15g/10min, and more preferably 0.1 to 6.0g/10 min.

The base resin with higher melt strength can effectively solve the problems of combination and breakage of foam holes in the rapid pressure relief expansion process in the preparation process of the foamed sheet, and can effectively improve the closed porosity of the sheet.
For high melt strength impact polypropylene, the factors affecting melt strength become more complex due to the material being of multi-phase structure.

Comparative examples 1 to 3
Referring to the procedure for preparing the polypropylene foamed sheets of examples 1 to 12, tests were carried out using ordinary random copolymer polypropylene 4908 instead of HMSPP801, HMSPP802, HMSPP803 and HMSPP804, and the specific formulation and process conditions and properties of the prepared polypropylene foamed sheets were shown in table 3 and fig. 2.
Comparative examples 4 to 6
Referring to the procedure for preparing the polypropylene foamed sheets of examples 1 to 12, the tests were carried out using the high melt strength copolymerized polypropylene WB260HMS instead of HMSPP801, HMSPP802, HMSPP803 and HMSPP804, and the specific formulation and process conditions and properties of the prepared polypropylene foamed sheets are shown in table 3.
It can be seen from examples 1-12 that the HMSPP801, HMSPP802, HMSPP803 and HMSPP804 prepared by the present invention have high melt strength and impact strength, high tensile strength and flexural modulus, and high notched impact strength, and the foamed sheet with dense and uniform cells and smooth surface can be obtained by using the organic foaming agent provided by the present invention as a base resin and foaming the sheet by a method of foaming and rolling the sheet with the organic foaming agent (as shown in fig. 1). By adjusting the type and amount of the foaming agent, the foaming temperature, etc., a density of, for example, 0.2 to 0.9g cm can be obtained-3The foamed sheet of (1).
As can be seen from comparative examples 1-6, the foamed sheet products obtained by using conventional random copolymer polypropylene 4908 or high melt strength copolymer polypropylene WB260HMS as the base resin have non-uniform cells and uneven sheet surface (as shown in FIG. 2) compared with the high melt strength impact polypropylene HMSPP801, HMSPP802, HMSPP803 and HMSPP 804.

It can be seen from comparative examples 4-6 that the density of the foamed sheet product obtained with WB260HMS is higher than that of the high melt strength polypropylene HMSPP, and the surface is not smooth and the cells are not uniform. It is speculated that the product is unstable due primarily to WB260HMS being a high melt strength polypropylene obtained by the addition of peroxide during the synthesis.
