Further, the pressure of the water vapor sintering molding is lower than 2.0bar, and the surface resistance of the molded part is 106-9Omega, does not change with temperature and humidity.
Compared with the prior art, the invention has the beneficial effects that:
(1) the polypropylene resin in the core layer has high melting point, so that the EPP molded product can obtain high-rigidity mechanical property, and the EPP molded product packaging material with high rigidity and difficult deformation has better anti-twisting or bending effect on electronic devices with larger sizes. The sheath layer polypropylene resin has low melting point, is more beneficial to the forming and sintering of EPP molded products and has excellent apparent quality.
(2) The skin layer does not need to add a coloring agent at all, and the apparent gray of the composite expanded beads is generated by the light transmittance of the expanded beads of the core layer; and the inorganic filling amount of the foaming beads is low, so that the foaming and antistatic properties of the molded product are ensured, the molding pressure of the molded product is low, the energy consumption is low, the apparent quality is excellent, and more importantly, the molded product is used as a packaging material, the powder removal phenomenon of inorganic powder is avoided, and the antistatic protective packaging material is suitable for antistatic protective packaging of precise electronic devices and liquid crystal display screens.
(3) The modified master batch is prepared by grafting the multi-walled carbon nanotube and maleic anhydride to the modified polypropylene, and the foaming stripping and blocking effects of the supercritical carbon dioxide are utilized in the process, so that the dispersion of the carbon nanotube in a matrix is facilitated, the re-agglomeration phenomenon is greatly reduced, a conductive network is more easily formed due to the advantage of high length-diameter ratio, and the good conductivity is still realized under the condition of low carbon nanotube filling amount.
(4) The polyether block copolymer antistatic agent containing strong polar chain segments or groups has excellent conductivity and surface resistance of 107Omega, the proportion of the omega in the weight of the skin layer is 15-24 percent, and the dosage of the omega is lower than that of the polyether block material conductive agent in the prior art. On one hand, in the melting and blending process of the skin layer formula, the maleic anhydride modified PP conductive master batch tends to uniformly exist at the interface of polypropylene and a polyether block conductive agent due to excellent interface compatibility, part of the carbon nanotube network in the modified master batch can migrate to a polypropylene phase and an antistatic agent phase due to the shearing and mixing action of mixing, and the carbon nanotube network tends to be closer to the antistatic agent due to the strong polar chain segment or group existing in the polyether block copolymer antistatic agent phase containing the strong polar chain segment or group; the carbon nano tube network promotes the stable connection and the electric conduction of the antistatic agent in the cortex, and the electric conduction performance of a few carbon nano networks in a tightly connected area is better than that of the antistatic agent. The carbon nano tube with good dispersibility and the polyether block copolymer antistatic agent generate a synergistic antistatic effect, so that the addition amount of the polyether block copolymer antistatic agent is reduced; on the other hand, the reduction of the addition amount of the polyether block copolymer antistatic agent is more beneficial to the forming and sintering firmness of a molded product and improves the mechanical property and the apparent quality of the molded product.
(5) The composite foaming bead skin layer accounts for 8-15% of the total weight, and can stabilize the surface resistance of the molded product to 106-9Omega, andcan meet the mechanical property of a molding product and improve the stability of the process of co-extruding and manufacturing particles. CN 103724653A also prepared antistatic 10 using similar techniques5-10According to European composite foamed particles and molded bodies thereof, the conductive layer of the composite foamed particles is added with a large amount of conductive carbon black, the apparent color of the product is black under high carbon content, and the composite foamed particles also have the risk of powder falling to damage the surface of a liquid crystal screen when packaged as a high-end display screen.
(6) The peak area of the highest melting point peak of the first DSC temperature rising curve of the core layer of the composite foaming bead is controlled to be 15-20J/g through the optimized selection of the polypropylene raw material and the accurate control of the foaming process. The molded product produced by the expanded beads in the range not only has better rigidity, namely good compression performance, but also has moderate molding pressure and reduced energy consumption. A large number of experiments show that the area of the highest melting point peak of the first DSC temperature rising curve of the core layer of the composite foaming bead and the secondary foaming easiness degree of the foaming bead have correlation and are closely related to the apparent mass of a molded product. The composite foaming bead has the advantages that in the steam molding process, the numerical value of pressure (KPa) of 10% compression strain of a 45P molded part/apparent density (g/L) of a molded product is more than 5, the molded product has permanent antistatic property and good rigidity, and the molded product can show good buffer protection effect on electronic screens with larger sizes and heavier weights.

The production process of the composite expanded beads of the present invention is that firstly, the preferable composite particles with the length of 1.0-2.5mm and the single weight of 0.5-1.5mg are carried out according to the following processes: (1) putting the composite particles, the aqueous dispersion liquid and the dispersing auxiliary agent into a high-pressure-resistant closed kettle according to a certain weight ratio and sealing; (2) under the action of mechanical stirring, the kettle body is heated to foaming temperature T2, and CO2 is introduced into the closed dispersion system through a booster pump to reach foaming pressure P; (3) after the composite fine particles are impregnated with the gas, the dispersion is instantaneously discharged to an atmosphere of a pressure lower than P to obtain expanded primary expanded beads. The specific temperature and pressure parameters were: t1-8 ℃ and T2 ℃ and T1+15 ℃, 0.5MPa and P5.5 MPa; (4) and (3) carrying out air pressure loading on the primary expanded beads through a pre-pressing tank, and then expanding the particles keeping the internal pressure under the heating action of hot air to obtain secondary composite expanded beads with lower density and 20-50 times of magnification.
The forming process of the gray antistatic foamed polypropylene molding product is as follows: the composite foaming beads after being loaded and pressed by the pre-pressing tank are filled into a mold cavity through a vacuum pipeline, the beads expand and the skin is sintered under the action of high-temperature steam, and then the composite foaming beads are cooled and shaped by flowing medium water on the surface of the mold and are discharged from the mold. Further curing and shaping the molded part in a hot air curing chamber at 50-110 ℃ to obtain a gray antistatic foamed polypropylene molded product.
The components and their weight percentages of examples 1-5 and comparative examples 1-5 are shown in Table 2.

Figure BDA0002579676850000061
The method comprises the following steps of 1, adding no master batch F but increasing the using amount of a polyether block conductive agent C, 2, adding only the master batch F but not adding the polyether block conductive agent C, 3, 4 and 5, weighing maleic anhydride branched modified polypropylene D and carbon nano tubes, directly mixing the weighed materials with other components of a skin layer, matching with a particle core layer material, producing composite particles by adopting a customized extruder set for co-extruding and manufacturing particles and a special extrusion structure die head, obtaining foamed beads through a subsequent kettle type foaming process, and carrying out comparison and test on performance after molding.
The process parameters and the properties of the molded articles of examples 1 to 5 and comparative examples 1 to 5 are shown in Table 3.
TABLE 3
Figure BDA0002579676850000062
Figure BDA0002579676850000071
As can be seen from the parameters and performance tables of examples 1 to 5, the melting point and the melt index of the polypropylene A raw material of the foaming core layer are optimally selected, and the optimal kettle type foaming process parameters ensure that the peak areas of the highest melting points of the first DSC temperature rise curves of the composite foaming beads are all between 15 and 20J/g. Under the condition, the composite expanded bead has good secondary expansibility, and the ratio of the 10 percent compressive strain pressure of the 45P molded product to the apparent density of the molded product is more than 5, so that the EPP expanded molded product has good mechanical property. In addition, in the skin layer component, part of the carbon nanotube network in the master batch F can migrate to the polypropylene B phase and the polyether block conductive agent C phase, and the well-dispersed carbon nanotubes and the polyether block conductive agent C have synergistic antistatic effect, so that the addition amount of the polyether block conductive agent is reduced, the addition amount of the whole inorganic filler is also greatly reduced, the forming pressure of a molded product is reduced, the energy consumption is reduced, particularly, the surface resistance of the molded product is obvious, and the surface resistance is not obviously reduced even after 30 days. FIG. 1 shows a schematic view of the distribution of the polymer components in the skin of a molded article. The foamed core layer of the polypropylene composite foamed bead has a good closed-cell structure as shown in figure 2, and the skin layer has almost no cells or micro-foaming.
As can be seen from the performance of comparative example 1 in which the masterbatch F was not added, but only the amount of the polyether block conductive agent was increased in a large amount, the surface resistance of the molded article was relatively large because no carbon nanotube was added, and the molding pressure was high due to excessive addition of the polyether block conductive agent. From the performance of comparative example 2, in which substantially the same amount of masterbatch F as in example was added without polyether block conductive agent C, it can be seen that the low carbon nanotube-filled system did not achieve good permanent antistatic effect without the synergistic effect of the compounded conductive region. It can be seen from comparative examples 1 and 2 that the present invention utilizes the synergistic antistatic effect of the well-dispersed carbon nanotube network formed in the masterbatch F and the polyether block conductive agent to produce good permanent antistatic performance of the molded article prepared by the present invention.
From comparative examples 3 to 5, it can be seen that when the carbon nanotubes and the polyether block conductive agent C are simply dispersed in the skin layer of the polypropylene composite expanded beads, the surface resistance of the molded article does not meet the antistatic requirement, because the two conductive agent components may not exhibit a good synergistic antistatic effect due to the uneven dispersion or more agglomeration of the carbon nanotubes. Therefore, in the technology of the invention, the carbon nanotube master batch F modified by supercritical carbon dioxide expansion and dispersion is easier to embody the conductivity, and is more favorable for forming stable connected conductivity between the carbon nanotubes and the polyether block conductive agent in the cortex system. Therefore, under the condition of less adding amount of the carbon nano tube and the polyether block conductive agent, good permanent antistatic performance can be still achieved; moreover, the carbon nano tube content in the surface matrix of the molded product is very low, and the powder removal phenomenon of the molded product in the using process is eliminated.
In light of the foregoing description of the preferred embodiment of the present invention, many modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. The technical scope of the present invention is not limited to the content of the specification, and must be determined according to the scope of the claims.
