Description

Process for controlling polymer crystallinity in extrusion processing process
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of polymer crystallinity control, in particular to a process for controlling polymer crystallinity in an extrusion processing process.
Background
At present, the common extrusion process in the field of polymer processing and manufacturing cannot well control the crystallinity of the crystalline polymer. This results in the following: the crystallinity of the final extruded product of crystalline polymers is often uncontrollable, thus leading to unstable or undesirable product properties. In recent years, 3D printing, also called additive manufacturing, has been emerging, and is a class of advanced manufacturing methods based on the principle of layer-by-layer material accumulation that has emerged and developed rapidly in recent 30 years. The material extrusion type 3D printing in the sub-process has been widely applied in recent years due to the advantages of low equipment cost, wide material selection, good performance of the formed part and the like. The material extrusion type 3D printing process is based on the construction of 3D objects by extruding, layer-by-layer stacking and solidifying (e.g. glass transition, crystallization, solvent evaporation, etc.) of materials under pressure in a flow regime (e.g. molten state, solution, etc.). One of the processes widely used in material extrusion type 3D printing is called fused deposition modeling (fused deposition modeling) or fused wire fabrication (fused wire fabrication), and the basic principle is as follows: conveying a thermoplastic macromolecule wire to a high-temperature hot end by using a gear to melt the macromolecule, moving the hot end along the section profile and the filling track of the part under the control of a computer motion control system, extruding the molten material, rapidly solidifying the material, and locally fusing the material with the surrounding material; this process is repeated layer by layer to build up the three-dimensional object.
In the case of a crystalline polymer for melt-bulk molding, the crystallinity of the wire is very important for the printing performance. Meanwhile, a large number of researches prove that the post-treatment thermal process has important influence on the crystallinity of the crystal-form polymer. However, the process for improving the crystallinity through the thermal technique in the existing research has the disadvantages of high cost, requirements on the composition of materials (such as fibers and nanoparticles), complex equipment and process control and great difficulty in practical application. Therefore, the cooling part of the extrusion process, which is common in practical production, usually contains only a heat medium (e.g., cold water) at normal or low temperature, and the purpose is only to rapidly cool the melt. For many crystalline polymers, the conventional process results in poor crystallinity, poor properties, instability, and even internal stress of the final extruded product.
In view of the above, there is an urgent need in the market for a process that can effectively and precisely control the crystallization behavior of crystalline polymers during the extrusion process. The process can be widely used for crystalline polymer extrusion products, and improves the control on the product performance. The process is particularly suitable for preparing crystalline polymer wires for melt-deposition molding.

Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below. The examples, in which specific conditions are not specified, were conducted under conventional conditions or conditions recommended by the manufacturer. The reagents or instruments used are not indicated by the manufacturer, and are all conventional products available commercially.
The cooling crystallization process of the polymer melt is roughly as follows: the plastic particles are extruded to form a polymer melt, and the microstructure is composed of randomly entangled polymer chains. In the process of cooling the polymer melt at the outlet die, some polymer chains keep a disordered state to form an amorphous area; some polymer chains are regularly arranged to form crystal regions. The ratio of the crystalline region is the crystallinity of the polymer material.
The crystallization of the high molecular material mainly comprises two steps: (1) nucleation, i.e. the formation of crystal nuclei by the polymer chains or other components under certain conditions; (2) and (4) crystal growth, namely regularly arranging high molecular chains around the crystal nucleus to form crystals. For a particular material, there will be a temperature dependence of nucleation and crystal growth, i.e. there will be temperatures T 'and T "(where T' < T") corresponding to the fastest nucleation and fastest crystal growth temperatures, respectively. In the process of cooling the melt, part of the high polymer material can only form crystal nuclei and cannot grow into crystals. This is because when the temperature of the melt is gradually cooled from a high temperature, the melt reaches a temperature around T ″ (the temperature at which crystals grow fastest), and at this time, the molecular chain moves and easily grows crystals, but the melt lacks crystal nuclei for the crystals to adhere and grow, so that no crystallization region is formed in the melt; when the temperature further drops to reach the vicinity of T', a large number of crystal nuclei begin to be formed by the melt, but at the moment and subsequent temperature, the molecular chain segment is difficult to move, and crystals cannot grow out in a regular arrangement around the crystal nuclei. When the cooled material is heated a second time and the temperature reaches around T ", the polymer chains start to grow crystals from the crystal nuclei. This crystallization behavior is generally referred to as cold crystallization, and a polymer material having a cold crystallization behavior may also be referred to as a cold-crystallized polymer. Common cold-crystallizing polymers include: polylactic acid, poly (dimethyl terephthalate), a portion of polyamide, and the like.
The cold crystallization behavior can generally be characterized by Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC). The characterization method comprises the following steps:
1. appropriate amounts of sample (usually several milligrams to tens of milligrams) are weighed as required by the particular DSC instrument;
2. the samples were placed in a DSC instrument and measured using the following temperature program:
a. primary temperature rise: heating the sample to a specific temperature T at a constant heating rate (10-20C/min)h,ThAbove the maximum melting point T of the materialmAnd all crystal regions of the material can be completely melted to form a melt;
b. cooling: cooling the sample to a specific temperature T at a constant cooling rate (10-20C/min)l,TlBelow the glass transition temperature T of the materialgAnd can make the material completely turn into solid state without fluidity;
c. secondary heating: reheating the sample to a specific temperature T at a constant temperature rise rate (10-20C/min)h’,Th' above the highest melting point T of the materialmAnd all crystal regions of the material can be completely melted to form a melt. T ish' and ThMay be the same or different;
d. record the heat flow during the first temperature rise, temperature fall and second temperature rise.
Wherein, Th,TlAnd Th' flexible selection can be made for the characteristics of different materials. If the material exhibits a crystallization peak (generally, an exothermic peak at a temperature lower than the melting peak, as shown in fig. 1) having an area not equal to zero during the secondary temperature increase, it can be judged that the material has cold crystallization behavior. The temperature corresponding to the crystallization peak in the secondary heating process is the cold crystallization temperature, Tcold
T' > T ", or both, of another portion of the polymeric material, nucleation of the material melt during cooling occurs prior to crystal growth, or nucleation and crystal growth occur simultaneously. Such polymers typically do not exhibit a cold crystallization peak, i.e., no significant crystallization peak during the second temperature increase, under testing using the same DSC method as described above. The crystallization peak usually occurs only during the cooling. The temperature corresponding to the crystallization peak during the temperature reduction process can generally be considered as the crystallization temperature, or Tc, of the material.

Example 3
The extrusion processing of polylactic acid material of L2001 brand from Suzhou Polyconjugated Polymer materials Ltd was used, and the detection method of example 1 was used, and the material and the relevant parameters of its crystallization behavior were obtained by DSC measurement on DSC-60Plus instrument from Shimadzu. The properties of the material related to crystallization behavior were finally measured as follows: t isg=56.6℃;Tc=124.2℃;Tcold=93.2℃;Tm168.6 ℃. It is seen that the material has both melt and cold crystallization behavior.

The addition of an additional heat medium between any two of the above heat media can realize the process of wire nucleation and crystal growth by adjusting the temperature, and all the additional heat media are possible embodiments of the present invention within the allowable scope of the technology described in the present invention. It should be understood that the present embodiment is also applicable to multi-component polymer blends, such as simultaneously comprising a plurality of polymer compositions having different crystallization behaviors. Specific embodiments can be designed and implemented according to the same principles and specific component compositions.
The thermal media in the thermal media combination may be implemented with different materials and embodiments. Specific materials and embodiments may be air blast, water bath, oil bath, molten low temperature alloy, high temperature salt melt, infrared radiation, microwave radiation, alternating magnetic field, and the like. The operator can flexibly select the materials according to the properties of the materials, the process requirements and other factors. The preferred schemes are blowing, water bath and oil bath. The blowing has the advantages that the settable temperature range is large, the blowing does not contact the surface of the melt, the effect of each angle of the extruded melt is relatively uniform, and the blowing has the defects of low heat transfer efficiency and incapability of quickly realizing temperature control; the water bath has the advantages of high heat transfer speed and easy cleaning of attached water drops; the defects that the settable temperature range is small, and the water flow and other effects have influence on the surface of the wire rod; the oil bath has the advantages of high heat transfer speed, large settable temperature range and capability of meeting the crystallization control requirement of more high polymer materials, and has the defects of more complicated process and unfavorable production management because additional auxiliary equipment is required to remove residual oil on the surface of the wire.
It has also been found in experiments that the residence time of the melt in each section of the heat medium is also an important factor influencing the degree of crystallinity. The specific residence time can be selected and adjusted by factors such as the crystallization rate of the material and the crystallinity requirements for the final product, the extrusion rate, the length of each section of the heat medium, the heat medium material/embodiment, and the like.
It should be understood that the process disclosed in this example is applicable to all polymer extrusion equipment. The particular extrusion equipment may be selected by the operator as appropriate. A common extrusion apparatus comprises: single screw extruders, twin screw extruders, multiple screw extruders, ram extruders, blade plasticating extruders, and the like. Meanwhile, the operator can select additional equipment, such as a melt metering pump, according to actual requirements.

It is seen that the material has only melt crystallization behavior and no cold crystallization behavior.
The embodiment provides a process for controlling the crystallinity of a polymer in an extrusion process, which comprises the following steps:
step S1: melting and extruding the crystalline polymer;

Comparative example 1
This example provides a process for controlling the crystallinity of a polymer during an extrusion process, which is different from the process for controlling the crystallinity of a polymer during an extrusion process provided in example 1 in that: in step S2, the extruded crystalline polymer melt is passed through only 1 stage of heat medium, and the same 1 stage of heat medium adopts water bath with temperature T1(see Table 1 for specific temperatures).
Comparative example 2
This example provides a process for controlling the crystallinity of a polymer during an extrusion process, which is different from the process for controlling the crystallinity of a polymer during an extrusion process provided in example 1 in that: in step S2, the extruded crystalline polymer melt is passed through only 1 stage of heat medium, and the same 1 stage of heat medium is water bath at 60 ℃.
Comparative example 3
This example provides a process for controlling the crystallinity of a polymer during an extrusion process, which is different from the process for controlling the crystallinity of a polymer during an extrusion process provided in example 4 in that: in step S2, the extruded crystalline polymer melt is passed through only 1 stage of heat medium, and the same 1 stage of heat medium is water bath at 15 ℃.
Experimental example 1 the strands of polymer materials prepared by the process for controlling the crystallinity of a polymer during extrusion process of example 1 and comparative example 1 were evaluated using vicat softening points.
The crystallinity of a wire can be indirectly characterized by measuring the softening point of the wire, with higher softening points representing higher crystallinity of the material. The specific softening point measurement method is as follows: and (3) using an HVT-302B type Vicat softening point tester measured by Shenzhen Wan, taking a small section of wire to be tested, putting the wire into a test platform, pressing a pressing needle at the tip of a load rod to the center of the wire, then immersing the wire into a heat preservation bath, and touching the top end of the load rod by a dial indicator probe. After the pressing pin is positioned for 5min, a weight of 100g is put into the tray at the upper end of the load rod, and the temperature is raised at a constant speed of 120 ℃/h. When the pressing pin is pressed into the sample (1 +/-0.01) mm, the temperature at the moment is quickly recorded, and the temperature is the softening point temperature of the sample. This test example tested the wire softening point data at different temperatures for the polymeric materials prepared using the process for controlling the polymer crystallinity during extrusion processing of example 1 and comparative example 1, and is summarized in table 2 below.
Evaluating the crystallization degree of the L1001 polylactic acid material of Suzhou poly-complex high polymer material Co., Ltd without cold crystallization behavior by adopting a Vicat softening point, wherein the softening point of full crystallization is 145 ℃; and the softening point of the partial crystal is 90-110 ℃; a softening point of <90 ℃ with substantially no crystallization. From table 2, it can be seen from the experimental results of example 1 and comparative example 1 that higher water temperature and oil temperature both contribute to the improvement of the crystallinity of the wire rod. The temperature of the second section of heat medium has a great influence on the crystallinity of the wire, namely, the crystallinity of the wire passes through the 1 section of heat medium with lower temperature and then passes through the 2 sections of heat medium wire with higher temperature is improved.

Experimental example 2 evaluation of strands of polymer materials prepared by the process for controlling the crystallinity of a polymer during extrusion processing of examples 2 to 3 and comparative example 2.
In the test example, the water tank with adjustable retention time is adopted for verification, and after wires with different retention times are obtained, the Shimadzu DSC-60Plus instrument mentioned in test example 1 is adopted for testing the relative crystallinity of the wires. Detailed description of the inventionThe method comprises the following steps: 50mg of the material to be measured is weighed by a high-precision balance, placed in an aluminum crucible, and then an aluminum upper cover is added, and a sample is pressed and placed in an instrument. The test procedure of the set instrument is as follows: the temperature is raised from room temperature to 230 ℃ at a temperature raising rate of 10 ℃/min, and then the process is finished. From the curve data, the cold crystallization peak (T) was calculatedcoldCorresponding peak) and melting peak (T)mCorresponding peak) area of the sample. The melting peak area can approximately represent the complete crystallization degree of the material, the cold crystallization peak represents the part of the material which is not crystallized yet, and the difference value of the two is the crystallization part formed by the material in the experimental process. Therefore, the relative crystallinity (melting peak area-cold crystallization peak area)/melting peak area corresponds to the experimental data shown in table 3 below.
As can be seen from the data in table 3: (1) from the results of examples 2-3 and comparative example 2, it is found that the process for controlling the crystallinity of the polymer in the extrusion processing process of examples 2-3 can effectively obtain a wire with higher crystallinity by using a two-stage or three-stage heat medium combination compared with the conventional process for controlling the crystallinity of the polymer in comparative example 2 through a low-temperature heat medium; (2) from the comparison of examples 2 and 3, it can be found that the wire rod obtained when the three-stage heat medium was used had higher crystallinity than the wire rod obtained when the two-stage heat medium was used; (3) comparing different data of the wire rod manufactured in example 3, it can be obtained that when three stages of heat media are used, the temperature of the 3 stages of heat media is lower than the glass transition temperature TgWhen the crystallinity of the prepared wire rod is higher than the temperature of the 3-section heat mediumgHigher time; (4) data on the wire obtained in comparative example 3 when T is1、T2And T3Has a temperature relationship of T1<T2,T3<T2Wire ratio T of the obtained wire1<T2<T3The obtained wire has high crystallinity.

Experimental example 3 evaluation of strands of polymer materials prepared by the process for controlling crystallinity of polymer during extrusion process of example 4 and comparative example 3
In the test example, the water tank with adjustable retention time is adopted for verification, and after the wires with different retention times are obtained, the DSC-60Plus instrument of Shimadzu in test example 1 is adopted to test the relative crystallinity of the wires. The specific test method comprises the following steps: 50mg of the material to be measured is weighed by a high-precision balance, placed in an aluminum crucible, and then an aluminum upper cover is added, and a sample is pressed and placed in an instrument. The test procedure of the set instrument is as follows: heating from-20 deg.C to 150 deg.C at a heating rate of 10 deg.C/min, and finishing. From the curve data, the melting peak (T) was calculatedmCorresponding peak) area of the sample. The melting peak area of the measured wire rod approximately represents the corresponding crystallization degree, and the higher the crystallization degree is, the higher the stability of the wire rod is. The experiment also shows that the retention time of the material in the water bath at 39 ℃ exceeds 30s, the area of the melting peak is not increased any more, and is maintained to be around 48.1J/g. Therefore, the relative crystallinity is defined as melting peak area/maximum melting peak area of the material to be measured, and the corresponding experimental data are shown in table 4 below.

Figure BDA0001925940190000211
*: the melt could not be crystallized in the water bath, and remained molten, and no sample could be taken to test the relative crystallinity.
As can be seen from the data in table 4: (1) from the results of example 4 and comparative example 3, it is found that in the extrusion process of example 4, the crystallinity of the polymer is controlled by using the two-stage hot and cold medium combination process, and compared with the traditional process of comparative example 3, the wire with higher crystallinity can be effectively obtained by a low-temperature medium process; (2) when T is used in example 41At different temperatures, T1Is slightly less than TcIn this case, the crystallinity of the wire rod is better.
