Description

Preparation method and application of durable hydrophilic polypropylene foaming particles
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of polypropylene foaming materials, relates to a preparation method and application of polypropylene foaming particles, and particularly relates to a preparation method of durable hydrophilic polypropylene foaming particles and application of the durable hydrophilic polypropylene foaming particles in a carrier material for sewage treatment.
Background
The foam plastic has the advantages of light weight, heat insulation, buffering, insulation, corrosion prevention, low price and the like, so the foam plastic is widely applied to daily necessities, packaging, industry, agriculture, transportation industry, military industry and aerospace industry, and the development of the foam plastic is very rapid since 20 th century and 90 th year in China, wherein the main varieties comprise three major types of Polyurethane (PU) flexible and rigid foam plastic, Polystyrene (PS) foam plastic and Polyethylene (PE) foam plastic. However, in the polyurethane foam, there is isocyanate residue harmful to human body during foaming, and the foamed material cannot be recycled. However, during the foaming process of Polystyrene (PS), chlorofluorocarbon or butane is usually used, which has adverse effects on the environment, and the products are difficult to degrade and easily form "white pollution", so the united nations environmental protection organization has decided to stop using PS foamed products. The rigidity of the cross-linked polyethylene foam is low, and the maximum service temperature is 80 ℃.
Polypropylene is a crystalline polymer with regular structure, is white waxy material, and is transparent and light in appearance. Has the chemical formula of (C3H6)nThe density is 0.89 to 0.91g/cm3The material is flammable, has a melting point of 165 ℃, is softened at about 155 ℃, and has a use temperature range of-30-140 ℃. Can resist corrosion of acid, alkali, salt solution and various organic solvents at the temperature of below 80 ℃, and can be decomposed at high temperature and under the action of oxidation. From the performance point of view, polypropylene (PP) is more rigid than Polyethylene (PE), and the chemical resistance is similar to PE; the glass transition temperature of the polypropylene is lower than room temperature, the impact resistance is superior to PS, and the polypropylene foam is an environment-friendly material; the polypropylene has higher heat distortion temperature and can be applied in some high-temperature fields. Expanded polypropylene is generally capable of withstanding high temperatures of 130 c, much higher than the maximum service temperature of 80 c for polyethylene foam. The closed cell structure makes the thermal conductivity of the cell structure not affected by moisture, so that the cell structure can be used as a heat preservation material; good low temperature characteristics, i.e.The performance is good at minus 30 ℃; the energy absorption, the PP foaming product has good energy absorption characteristic and excellent compression-resistant energy absorption performance, can be widely applied to an automobile bumper energy treatment system and other anti-collision energy absorption components, and has size and shape recovery stability, and the PP foaming product can quickly recover the original shape without permanent deformation after being subjected to multiple continuous impacts and flexural deformations; the product has the advantages of light weight, repeated use, good flexibility, difficult breakage, easy recycling, easy decomposition, no toxic and harmful components to human bodies, and no toxic substances generated by combustion; the PP foaming product is semi-hard formed, has moderate hardness and flexibility, does not scratch or bruise objects contacted with the PP foaming product, and has better surface protection. Therefore, the research and development of polypropylene foam have also become hot spots in recent years, and although polypropylene foam products have good performance and application prospects, the development difficulty of polypropylene foam is very high, related and industrializable core technologies exist in China, and some developed countries are under vigorous development and are used as green materials for replacing expanded polystyrene.
Therefore, how to find a suitable method to endow polypropylene materials with more characteristics, widen the application field of polypropylene foam materials, and deepen the application thereof has become one of the focuses of great attention of many research and development manufacturers and researchers.
