Compared with silane copolymerization PC with extremely high price, the low-temperature toughness of the PC material is improved, the high rubber powder has excellent cost advantage, and the injection molding flowability is better than that of the silane copolymerization PC; on the other hand, the content of butadiene in the high rubber powder is obviously higher than that of the ABS material, so that better low-temperature toughness can be obtained, and the PC/ABS material needs more ABS components or toughening agent components to obtain the same low-temperature performance effect, so that the weather resistance and the flame retardant property are greatly influenced. Therefore, the polycarbonate composition prepared by the invention has excellent performance and ultrahigh cost performance, and is convenient for large-area popularization in the market.
(2) Aiming at the problem of poor weather resistance of high rubber powder, the comprehensive weather resistance of the material is obviously improved by adopting a compounding mode of a conventional ultraviolet absorbent and a high molecular weight hindered amine light stabilizer with a special molecular structure, and compared with the problem that the physical and mechanical properties of a PC material are seriously attenuated due to the obvious degradation in the processing process of the PC material because the conventional low molecular weight hindered amine has higher alkalinity, the high molecular weight hindered amine adopted in the invention can form an excellent synergistic effect with the ultraviolet absorbent due to extremely low alkalinity, and can obviously improve the defect of poor weather resistance caused by butadiene components in the high rubber powder.
(3) The prepared polycarbonate material has the characteristics of excellent flame retardance, weather resistance, cracking resistance, low-temperature toughness, high fluidity, high cost performance and the like, and can be popularized and applied to different parts such as charging pile shells and the like.

The test method of the material performance is as follows:
physical and mechanical properties: the tensile property test refers to GB/T1040.2-2006 standard; the elongation at break test refers to GB/T1040.2-2006 standard, and the stretching speed is 10 mm/min; the bending property test refers to the GB/T9341-2008 standard, and the bending speed is 2 mm/min; the impact performance test refers to the GB/T1043.1-2008 standard; the heat distortion temperature (0.45Mpa) refers to GB/T1634.2-2004 standard; the flame-retardant vertical combustion test refers to the GB/T2408 + 2008 standard; the melt flow rate was determined in accordance with GB/T3682-2000, test conditions were selected at 300 ℃ C. 1.2 kg.
And (3) testing weather resistance: the prepared material is subjected to injection molding on an injection molding machine (the injection molding temperature is 250 ℃, 240 ℃ and 230 ℃) to form a conventional physical and mechanical property sample strip, then the sample strip is placed in a xenon lamp aging box to be subjected to an aging test according to GB/T16422.2-2014, the sample strip exposure condition is carried out by adopting the condition of a cycle method 1, the impact property of the simply supported beam notch of the material is tested after the sample strip is aged for 1000 hours, and the corresponding property retention rate is (the performance after the aging/the performance without aging) 100%.
The materials respectively prepared in examples 1 to 6 were tested according to the test method, and the initial material performance and the retention rate of the notch impact performance of the simply supported beam after 1000-hour xenon lamp aging are shown in table 2 below.
TABLE 2 results of the Performance test of the high flow polycarbonate compositions of examples 1-6
As can be seen from the table, the high-molecular-weight hindered amine light stabilizer and the ultraviolet absorber are compounded, so that the problem of poor weather resistance of butadiene on a high-molecular-weight rubber powder chain is well solved, and the high-flow high-cost-performance polycarbonate composition for the charging pile shell is obtained. Compared with the examples 1-3, the low-temperature toughness of the material is gradually enhanced along with the increase of the addition amount of the high rubber powder, and particularly, when the high rubber powder is added to 10%, the low-temperature impact performance is mutated; in the aspect of weather resistance of the material, the notch impact retention rate of the material is gradually reduced along with the increase of the addition amount of the high rubber powder, but due to the good synergistic effect of the light stabilizer and the ultraviolet absorber, the performance retention rate can be kept over 75% after the material is aged for 1000 hours. Comparing the performances of the embodiment 4 and the embodiments 1 to 3, when the content of the high rubber powder reaches 15%, the mechanical strength and the impact property of the material are rapidly reduced, and the aging property retention rate of the material is also reduced to a great extent, which may be related to the fact that the ultrahigh rubber content is difficult to form better dispersion in a polycarbonate matrix. Therefore, the preferable amount of the high rubber powder is 8 to 12 parts.
Comparing example 2 with example 5, increasing the addition of the light stabilizer causes little change in the conventional mechanical properties of the material, slightly decreases the notch impact performance, but increases the retention rate of the aged performance, so that the light stabilizer has a better improvement effect on the weather resistance of the material; comparing example 2 with example 6, increasing the content of the ultraviolet absorbent, the mechanical property and the weather resistance of the material are basically not changed, and the effect of the visible ultraviolet absorbent is basically saturated when more than 0.3 part.
Comparative examples 1 to 5
The purpose of comparative examples 1 to 5 is to study the influence of the synergistic effect of the high rubber powder, the light stabilizer and the ultraviolet absorber on the performance of the polycarbonate composition. The specific preparation method and the extrusion processing technology are the same as those in the embodiments 1 to 6. The addition amounts of the raw material components in comparative examples 1-5 are shown in Table 3, wherein S2001 is a silicon-based toughening agent and has a good low-temperature toughening effect; 944 is a high molecular weight hindered amine light stabilizer with a molecular weight of 2100-3000.

The polycarbonate compositions prepared in comparative examples 1 to 5 were tested according to the test methods described above, and the initial material properties and the retention rate of the notched impact properties of the simply supported beam after 1000-hour xenon lamp aging are shown in table 4 below.
TABLE 4 results of Performance test of the polycarbonate compositions of comparative examples 1 to 5
Compared with a pure PC system, the addition of the high rubber powder obviously improves the low-temperature impact toughness and the injection molding fluidity of the material, compared with a silicon-based toughening agent S2001, under the condition of the same addition amount, although the normal-temperature impact resistance of S2001 is slightly higher, the notch impact strength at minus 40 ℃ is obviously better than that of the high rubber powder, and the fluidity of the embodiment 2 is better than that of the comparative example 2. Although the high rubber powder has slightly poor weather resistance, the weather resistance notch performance retention of the material obtained in example 2 is only slightly lower than that of comparative example 1 due to the synergistic effect of the high molecular weight hindered amine light stabilizer with a special structure and the ultraviolet absorber.
Compared with the data in the comparative examples 3-5, the data in the example 2 show that the aging performance of the material is greatly different when the light stabilizer and the ultraviolet absorber are added independently and the two auxiliary agents are added simultaneously, so that the two auxiliary agents have excellent synergistic effect on the aging performance of the material. In comparative example 5, hindered amine light stabilizer 944 is used, and although the molecular weight of the hindered amine light stabilizer 944 is above 2000, the hindered amine light stabilizer added to a PC matrix can cause processing degradation of the material, and further cause the material to have extremely high fluidity and poor mechanical impact property. In addition, the retention rate of the aging notch impact performance of the comparative example 5 is obviously lower than that of the example 2, which shows that the high molecular weight hindered amine light stabilizer with a special structure adopted by the invention has better matching property and compatibility with high rubber powder, and can effectively improve the weather resistance of the polycarbonate composition.
Furthermore, it should be understood that various changes and modifications can be made by one skilled in the art after reading the above description of the present invention, and equivalents also fall within the scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.
