GMT, English Glass Mat Reinforced Thermoplastic by name, be that a kind of glass mat strengthens the thermoplas tic resin composite, it has other polymer matrix composite and the unrivaled premium properties of engineering plastics: the high impact that (1) is outstanding, and it is higher 2.5 times than the sheet molding compound (SMC) of thermoset that it absorbs ballistic ability; (2) moulding process is simple, and process velocity is fast, and is easy to make massive article; (3) do not have chemical reaction in the production and the course of processing, be easy to reclaim, can reuse, environmental pollution is little, so GMT is called as " green material ".With the polypropylene is the GMT-PP-GMT of matrix, have superior P/C ratio, so PP-GMT is most widely used.GMT at first mainly is used in the aggregated(particle) structure parts of automobile industry, for example engine shield, preceding face, chair back skeleton, panel board and collision bumper, and it uses the fields such as petroleum industry, electrical equipment, construction equipment and furniture of having expanded at present.Though GMT has the above advantage, to compare with same with thermosetting compound material and also to have weak point, the GMT rigidity is not enough, and generally between 3~6GPa, same with thermosetting compound material is then more than 10GPa for the modulus in flexure of PP-GMT; Warping phenomenon appears in the massive article poor dimensional stability of GMT compression molding easily; GMT causes surface property relatively poor because glass fibre is exposed to product surface easily.Therefore GMT is requiring relatively stricter occasion to compete with same with thermosetting compound material to rigidity and surface property.Therefore, many scientific workers have proposed many improved plans to existing GMT, as:
US Patent 4,983,647 proposes short glass fiber and the common Reinforced Polypropylene of mica, because mica is the two-dimensional sheet structure, is a kind of good polypropylene mineral filler, and mica filled polypropylene has quite high rigidity.Mica filled polypropylene articles dimensional stability is splendid, and the rigidity of goods and dimensional stability are all obviously improved.This patent provides the preparation method of above-mentioned Reinforced Polypropylene simultaneously, this method with polypropylene and glass fibre and mica by forcing machine mixing granulation, injection moulding again.Because glass fibre is constantly shredded in mixing and injection moulding process, the glass fibre length in the end article is less than 1mm, and the glass fibre reinforced effects is significantly weakened, and the intensity of material and impact property are all lower;
EP 0,945, and 253 provide a kind of is the GMT of filler by talcum powder, mica, lime carbonate and barium sulfate etc., with the mechanical property that improves material or reduce cost.The talcum powder that this patent is made is filled the GMT material, the rigidity of GMT is improved to some extent, but the technical problem that the inreal adding that solves filler of this patent brings: the adding of (1) filler combines interface between glass fibre and the matrix and exists influence, when filler content is higher, filler significantly reduces fiber and matrix with the meeting that contacts of glass fibre, the interface bond strength of filler and matrix, cause the reinforced effects of glass and filler all obviously to reduce, this patent is not noticed the influence of the adding of filler to the interface, and therefore the rigidity of the filling GMT that makes is compared with Traditional GM T and do not had breakthrough raising; (2) affiliation that adds of filler is risen the viscosity of matrix, this will cause that matrix is to the increase of glass mat dipping difficulty in the GMT preparation process, and dipping effect is an important factor of the final performance of decision GMT, and this patent does not have effectively to solve the technology condition that GMT is filled in preparation yet;
The short glass fiber Reinforced Polypropylene of Japan Daiwa Giken K.K. exploitation (the corrosion and protection newspaper, 1997,3, pp15) adopt calcium carbonate filling modification, to improve rigidity and the P/C ratio of GMT.The adding of lime carbonate can reduce the cost of material, but because the feature of lime carbonate own determines it can not effectively improve the rigidity of material, owing to adopt short glass fiber, the impact property of material is relatively poor in addition, so material is used for building template still existence deficiency on performance in this.
