Low-water-absorption polyamide material and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of high polymer materials, and particularly relates to a low-water-absorption polyamide material and a preparation method thereof.
Background
Polyamide 6 (PA 6) and polyamide 66 (PA 66) have become one of the most widely used engineering plastics due to their excellent combination properties, and are widely used in the fields of automobiles, aerospace, general machinery, electronics, electrical appliances, instruments, household appliances, office appliances, and the like. However, in the later use process of the PA6 and PA66 products, the-NHCO-group in the molecular chain has stronger polarity, so that hydrogen bonds are easily formed with water molecules in the environment, the product has larger water absorption rate increase, and the size stability, mechanical property and electrical property of the PA6 and PA66 products are poor, so that the use of the products is affected.
In order to reduce the water absorption of PA6, PA66, researchers have proposed various solutions, mainly the following three methods: 1. fillers (glass fiber, talcum powder, montmorillonite, wollastonite and the like) are added, and the water absorption rate is reduced by reducing the content of PA6 and PA66 in the composite material; 2. adding low water absorption materials (polyolefin, polyketone, aromatic nylon, PPS, PPO and the like), and reducing the water absorption by adding the low water absorption materials and the forms of PA6 and PA66 alloy; 3. the water absorption is reduced by adding a low water absorption auxiliary agent (monomer reactive with amide groups, acid anhydride groups, carboxylic acid groups, grafts reactive with amide groups, wax playing a barrier role, silicone, etc.), by reducing the hydrogen bond formation of amide with water and shielding water from contact with amide groups. Although the method can reduce the water absorption of the PA6 and the PA66, the method has the problems of large addition amount of filler and low water absorption material, limited efficiency, influence on the whole material performance, high cost, color and the like, and limits the application range of the PA6 and the PA66.
