Electret master batch for melt-blown electret and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of polymer materials, in particular to a electret master batch for melt-blown electret, and a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
Electrets are widely used in various industries due to their permanent charging characteristics. Among them, melt-blown electrets are widely used for filtering particulate contaminants and pathogens, such as personal protection products for masks and the like, due to their ultra-fine web structure. The materials used in the melt-blown electret are required to have non-conductivity, and polypropylene is widely used in the melt-blown electret due to its high resistivity, good chemical stability and hygiene, excellent combination property and low price.
The electret polypropylene melt-blown fiber material can only filter particles through physical barrier effect, and can not effectively filter tiny bacteria and germs. The polypropylene melt-blown fiber material can be charged only through electret treatment, and can effectively filter particles and germs through electrostatic adsorption. To enable polypropylene melt blown electrets to better retain and store charge, it is necessary to add electret master batches with electret agents as the main component during the production of the electrets. The electret not only can improve the crystallinity and mechanical deformation of the material and change the structure of the material to form slender hole channels so as to prevent charge drift, but also can generate charge traps to trap charges.
The electret method also has an influence on the charge storage performance, the commonly used electret method is a corona discharge method at present, the surface electret is obvious, but the filtration efficiency can not reach the peak value, the charge storage can be reduced with time, and the electrostatic attenuation of the surface of the material is obvious. In the water charging method, the prepared pure water is conveyed to the fan-shaped nozzle through the high-pressure water pump, the melt-blown cloth is subjected to water jet injection, and electric charge is generated through friction between the pure water and the melt-blown cloth, so that the effect of electret is achieved. The static amount of the polypropylene melt-blown electret through the water charging electret is saturated, the electric quantity is more durable, and the problem of reduced filtration effect after the melt-blown electret is stored can be effectively solved.
In the prior art, patent CN111607895A adopts corona electret to prepare a melt-blown cloth for filtering oily particles by adding oil-absorbing resin, inorganic electret and organic electret for compounding, but the filtering effect of the melt-blown cloth under the high-temperature condition is not studied; patent CN111560137a adopts a method of combining a electret stearate and an imide polymer, combining a stearate and a hindered amine or combining a stearate, an imide polymer and a hindered amine to prepare a mask melt-blown non-woven fabric, the salt particle filtration efficiency under high temperature and high humidity is studied, and the oil filtration efficiency is not studied; patent CN110036148A takes 944LD as a electret agent, prepares electret fiber sheets by a water charging mode, and researches the influence of a crystal nucleus agent on the particle filtration efficiency of the electret fiber sheets.
The melt-blown electret prepared by the prior art is mainly used for filtering non-oily particles, can not effectively filter oily particles such as chemical waste gas, oil smoke particles and the like, and has obvious charge attenuation at high temperature, so that the filtering effect is reduced.
