Adhesive resin with barrier function and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of high-molecular functional materials, relates to the technical field of hot melt adhesives, and particularly relates to a bonding resin with a barrier function and a preparation method thereof.
Background
Ethylene vinyl alcohol copolymer (EVOH) is a crystalline polymer of chain structure, has excellent barrier properties against gas, and is known as three major barrier resins in the world together with Polyamide (PA) and polyvinylidene chloride (PVDC). EVOH has gas barrier properties 10000 times that of polyethylene, 100 times that of PA, and 40 times that of PVDC. However, EVOH also has some performance defects, namely, under the condition of higher humidity, the barrier property is reduced, the hygroscopicity is high, and compared with common thermoplastic plastics, namely polypropylene PP and polyethylene PE, the processability is poor and the toughness is poor. Therefore, at present, EVOH and polyolefin (PP, PE) with excellent moisture insulation performance are mainly used for manufacturing the barrier composite packaging material by a multi-layer co-extrusion or layered blending method.
The polyethylene has excellent physical and mechanical properties and processability, and is widely applied. The polyethylene adhesive resin (i.e. hot melt adhesive) is prepared by endowing common polyethylene with polar functional groups through chemical grafting, melt blending and the like, so that the polyethylene adhesive resin has strong adhesive property and can be tightly adhered with other materials. The polyethylene adhesive resin is used as an intermediate adhesive layer, so that common polyethylene can be tightly adhered with materials such as EVOH, PA, wood, metal and the like, and a plurality of composite materials can be prepared.
At present, the typical six-layer structure of the plastic fuel tank of the automobile is as follows: high density polyethylene HDPE (inner layer)/tie layer/EVOH barrier layer/tie layer/regrind layer/pigmented HDPE (outer layer). Multilayer coextruded plastic composite hoses also have a similar structure: polyethylene PE (print layer)/adhesive layer/EVOH barrier layer/adhesive layer/polyethylene PE (heat seal layer). The barrier composite material with such a structure has a barrier effect on oxygen and air mainly by the middle barrier layer, and the adhesive layer is generally made of maleic anhydride graft modified polyethylene adhesive resin.
Since the polyethylene bonding resin does not have barrier property, the effect of the small molecules and the organic molecules can affect the bonding effect of the bonding layer and further affect the barrier effect of the barrier product along with the passage of time. Therefore, how to improve the barrier performance of polyethylene adhesive resins while maintaining the adhesive performance is currently a significant research topic.
Chinese patent (publication No. CN 102134467A) describes a preparation method of a nanometer barrier hot melt adhesive, which is prepared by adding a certain amount of organic modified layered nanometer silicate into polyolefin to prepare a nanometer polyolefin material, and then carrying out melt reaction on tackifying resin, a monomer and an initiator and the nanometer polyolefin material through a double screw extruder to carry out in-situ grafting. Chinese patent (publication No. CN 103173167A) describes a preparation method of a hot melt adhesive for a multilayer oil tank, which is to prepare polyolefin graft polymers from polyethylene, polypropylene, monomers, an initiator and a polyolefin nucleating agent through a double-screw extruder, and then prepare the polyolefin graft polymers and the polyethylene into the hot melt adhesive for the multilayer oil tank through a double-screw extruder. None of the above patents, however, mention the use of barrier resins, EVOH, primarily in melt blending with polyethylene systems to improve the barrier properties of polyolefin tie resins.
