Modified polypropylene composite material and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of polypropylene composite materials, and particularly relates to a modified propylene composite material and a preparation method thereof.
Background
The polypropylene (PP) has good mechanical property and processability, and has the advantages of simple synthesis method, rich raw material source, low price and wide application field. However, due to the existence of tertiary carbon atoms with high chemical activity, polypropylene materials are easy to age under ultraviolet irradiation, resulting in performance degradation, so that polypropylene needs to be modified to make up for the deficiency of ultraviolet aging resistance.
At present, the ultraviolet aging resistance of a polypropylene material is improved by adding montmorillonite, but the influence of the addition amount on the mechanical property of the polypropylene material is large, when the content of the montmorillonite is low, the modulus and the impact strength of the polypropylene can be improved, but with the increase of the content of the filler, the reinforcing effect cannot be achieved, and the mechanical property is reduced. In addition, the ultraviolet aging resistance of polypropylene can be enhanced by adding mica, but the impact toughness is reduced.
Therefore, it is a problem to be solved to further improve the ultraviolet aging resistance and mechanical properties of polypropylene modified by adding proper additives.
Attapulgite is a water-containing magnesium-rich aluminosilicate clay mineral with a layer chain structure, has a special fiber and porous structure, shows unusual colloid and adsorption performance, can be used as a carrier, a thickening agent, an air purifying agent and the like, but the ultraviolet aging resistance of polypropylene is improved by utilizing the synergistic effect of attapulgite at present.
