Description

Eccentric rolling device and method for polymer film surface periodic gradual change microstructure
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of polymer films, and relates to an eccentric rolling device and method for a periodic gradual change microstructure on the surface of a polymer film.
Background
The polymer film products with surface micro-functional structures are widely applied in the fields of optical films, flexible electronics, thin film solar cells and the like. At present, microstructures commonly adopted on the surface of a polymer film comprise a micro-lens array, a micro-pyramid array, a micro-prism array and the like, and the microstructures only have single functions and cannot meet the requirements of multifunctional compounding. Compared with the traditional array microstructure, the periodic gradual change microstructure on the surface of the polymer film can provide more comprehensive and variable physical properties, and has unique application in the fields of optics, interface research and the like.
Researches show that the gradual-change type nano-projection array structure on the cornea and wing surfaces of compound eyes of some insects in nature has ideal broad-spectrum anti-reflection, super-hydrophobic self-cleaning and anti-fog properties. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 3,3989775 (patent name: Method of Making a reflection-corrected Material) discloses a surface microsphere structure with antireflection property, which is formed by attaching microspheres on the surface of a wavy substrate to form a periodically-graded multi-stage structure, and can effectively reduce reflection and improve the utilization rate of light. Chinese patent publication No. CN102856618A discloses a rainbow local area device with gradually changing planar groove depth, which is mainly characterized in that metal units are periodically arranged, the size and shape of the metal units are the same, and grooves perpendicular to the length direction are arranged on the metal units, and the depth of the grooves increases or decreases progressively. The periodic gradual change multi-stage structure has unique and superior performance and wide potential application range.
Currently, the processing methods for polymer film products generally include hot stamping and Ultraviolet (UV) curing molding processes. In recent years, roll-to-roll forming processes have been rapidly developed to meet the demand for mass production of large-area polymer film products. Chinese patent publication No. CN102700123A discloses a roll-to-roll rolling forming device for microstructure of polymer film products, and chinese patent publication No. CN104608370A discloses a system and a method for processing microstructure on surface of polymer film based on roll-to-roll UV curing, and these two forming processes can copy the mold structure on the surface of polymer continuously in batch. However, for the surface periodic gradient microstructure, the current design is limited to the one-level gradient structure, and cannot be used for processing the multi-level composite periodic gradient microstructure. Meanwhile, aiming at the batch production of the periodic gradual change microstructure, the traditional forming process needs to adopt a mold with a corresponding complex structure, and the processing characteristics of the periodic gradual change microstructure have the characteristics of small structure, dense arrangement and continuous change, so that the difficulty of mold processing is high, and the process is time-consuming.

Detailed Description
The periodic graded microstructure 19 has a periodic and continuous grading characteristic in the depth direction, including but not limited to the several structures shown in fig. 1. The micro-grating gradual change array 1, the micro-lens gradual change array 2, the micro-pyramid gradual change array 3, the alternating structure 7 and the periodic array in the depth direction of the superposition structure 8 enable the microstructure to present a multi-stage composite state.

The geometry of the periodic graded microstructure 19 varies periodically in the length direction. As shown in fig. 1, the discontinuous micro-grating array 5 and the discontinuous micro-lens array 6 are overlapped in a staggered manner, so that an alternating structure 7 with periodically changed geometric shapes in the length direction is obtained; the discontinuous micro-grating array 5 and the discontinuous micro-lens array 6 are superposed in an apposition manner, so that a superposed structure 8 can be obtained.
The invention is described in detail below with reference to the figures and specific embodiments. The present embodiment is implemented on the premise of the technical solution of the present invention, and a detailed implementation manner and a specific operation process are given, but the scope of the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments.
Example 1:
in this embodiment, for the micro-grating gradient array 1 shown in fig. 1, a layer of ultraviolet curing adhesive is dropped on the polymer film material 10 through the adhesive dropping nozzle 11, and the periodic gradient microstructure 19 is processed on the surface of the polymer film material 10 by a roll-to-roll eccentric roll forming method. The eccentric rolling device is shown in fig. 2. The surface of the mold roller 21 is of a micro-grating array structure, and the depths of the mold cavities are the same. The components of the ultraviolet light curing adhesive comprise a monomer, a photoinitiator, an auxiliary agent and a prepolymer, wherein the prepolymer is mainly a resin compound, and generates active free radicals or cations under the irradiation of UV light to initiate the polymerization and crosslinking chemical reaction of the monomer, so that the adhesive is converted from a liquid state to a solid state within several seconds.
Before the imprinting premise, the ultraviolet curing lamp 16 is turned on to preheat the ultraviolet curing lamp 16, and the ultraviolet curing lamp 16 is enabled to work normally after 5 minutes. And meanwhile, the air source is started to play an air cooling role and prevent the ultraviolet curing lamp 16 from being overhigh in temperature.
The specific processing method comprises the following steps:
1) unreeling: taking a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) base material with the thickness of 150 mu m as a polymer film material 10, discharging the base material from an unwinding roller 9, removing static electricity on the surface of the base material, and waiting for a certain time to ensure that the unwinding speed of the polymer film material 10 is uniform;
2) and (3) glue dripping: after the unreeling speed of the polymer film material 10 is uniform, starting a glue dripping device, adjusting the glue dripping speed of a glue dripping nozzle 11 according to the rolling speed, ensuring that ultraviolet curing glue is uniformly and continuously distributed on the polymer film material 10 and the side surface of the ultraviolet curing glue does not exceed a base material, and impressing the ultraviolet curing glue in an eccentric rolling mechanism after the ultraviolet curing glue forms a light curing glue film 12 on the polymer film material 10;
3) eccentric rolling: the polymer film material 10 enters an eccentric rolling mechanism, a light-cured glue film 12 is arranged between a mould roller 21 and a pressure roller 17, the contact pressure value of the mould roller 21 and the material at the near place measured by a pressure sensor is observed, and the eccentricity is adjusted to 50 mu m by the drive of a linear motor 15. The UV-curable adhesive is in a liquid state, has good fluidity, can flow into the die cavity under the action of pressure, and then is filled into the die cavity under the action of the pressure roller 17. Due to the eccentricity, the distance between the mold roller 21 and the polymer film material 10 is periodically changed in the imprinting process, and the filling rate of the mold cavity is also periodically changed, so that the processing of the periodic gradual-change microstructure is realized. Meanwhile, the eccentricity can be changed by adjusting the position of the linear motor 15, and the periodic gradual-change microstructure 19 can be regulated and controlled in real time;
4) winding: after the ultraviolet curing adhesive is cured by illumination of an ultraviolet curing lamp 16, a periodic gradual-change microstructure 19 is formed on the polymer film material 10, the periodic gradual-change microstructure 19 is adhered to the polymer film material 10 to form a polymer film product, and demolding and winding are completed under the traction of a winding roller 20.
Similarly, by using a micro pyramid array mold or a micro lens array mold, a micro lens gradient array 2 and a micro pyramid gradient array 3 shown in fig. 1 can be obtained.
Example 2:
in this embodiment, for the alternating structure 7 and the stacked structure 8 shown in fig. 1, the polymer film material 10 is a thermoplastic polymer polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), and the periodic graded microstructure 19 is processed by a two-time eccentric roll forming method using a roll-to-roll eccentric hot rolling device.
The apparatus is shown in fig. 3, in which the unwinding roller 9, the temperature gradient preheating roller group 22 and the die roller 21 are driven by respective motors, and together serve as a driving roller in roll-to-roll transfer, and the rotation of the pressure roller 17 is driven by the movement of the die roller 21 and the polymer film material 10 together. The hydraulic cylinder connected to the temperature gradient preheating roller group 22 may push the temperature gradient preheating roller group 22 toward the polymer film material 10, the three pairs of preheating rollers may perform preheating at gradually increasing temperatures, and the hydraulic cylinder connected to the pressure roller 17 may push the pressure roller 17 toward the mold roller 21.
Before the start of rolling, the surface of the temperature gradient preheating roller set 22 is heated to a temperature higher than the glass transition temperature of PMMA. In this example, the glass transition temperature of PMMA was 110 ℃ and the viscous flow temperature was 220 ℃. The surface of the mold roll 21 was heated to a temperature near the viscous flow temperature of PMMA, which was 220 ℃ in this example.
The specific processing method comprises the following steps:
1) unreeling and preheating: taking a PMMA film with the thickness of 200 mu m as a polymer film material 10, and transferring the PMMA film from an unwinding roller 9 to a temperature gradient preheating roller group 22, wherein the preheating temperatures of three pairs of preheating rollers in the temperature gradient preheating roller group 22 are respectively set to be 90 ℃, 120 ℃ and 150 ℃, the polymer film material 10 is heated to the attaching temperature of about 150 ℃ under pressure by the three pairs of preheating rollers, and at the moment, the polymer film material 10 is in a high-elastic state, and the material is softened;
2) primary eccentric rolling: the PMMA is in a viscous state at 150 ℃, has certain fluidity and can better fill a die cavity. The micro-structure array is regulated and controlled in real time by increasing the eccentricity, so that a discontinuous array structure is formed. Taking the prism array mold as an example, the prism height is 100 μm, the length and width are 20 μm, and the interval between adjacent prisms is 30 μm, and the sheet-like prism array mold is stuck to the surface of the mold roll 21. When the eccentricity is adjusted to be larger than 50 micrometers, the distance between the surface of the mold roller 21 and the polymer film material 10 is too large to contact with each other in a part of time in the imprinting process, so that a discontinuous periodic structure is formed;
3) demolding: after the polymer film material 10 is delivered out from between the mold roller 21 and the pressure roller 17, the polymer film material is naturally cooled, the temperature is rapidly reduced to be lower than the glass transition temperature, the material is solidified and separated from the mold roller 21 after being subjected to the traction force of the winding roller 20, and the periodic gradual-change microstructure 19 is formed on the polymer film material 10, so that the demolding process is completed;
4) winding: after demolding is finished, the polymer film material 10 is continuously cooled to realize solidification forming of the polymer film material 10, and finally, winding is carried out through a winding roller 20 to finish the roll-to-roll hot-roll stamping forming process;
5) secondary eccentric rolling: and (3) replacing the mold on the surface of the mold roller 21, putting the polymer film material 10 with the periodic gradual-change microstructure 19 on the surface into the unwinding roller 9 again, ensuring that the surface with the periodic gradual-change microstructure 19 is opposite to the mold roller 21, carrying out secondary imprinting by using the whole device, realizing the superposition or alternation of the two microstructures through precise positioning and precise adjustment of eccentricity, and further processing the alternative structure 7 or the superposed structure 8 shown in the figure 1.
Wherein, in the step 1), the bonding temperature range is from 10 ℃ below the glass transition temperature of the polymer film material 10 to 10 ℃ below the viscous flow temperature. In step 2), the imprinting temperature ranges from 40 ℃ below the viscous flow temperature of the polymer film material 10 to 50 ℃ above the viscous flow temperature.
