The electronic cross-linked polyethylene foaming coiled material is foamed by heating a chemical foaming agent pre-dispersed in a cross-linking system, and the density of the coiled material can be as low as 0.03g/cm 3 The foamed sheet of (2), however, the heat resistance of the foamed sheet product is generally lower than 100 ℃, and there are problems of poor elasticity and poor tensile recovery; the cross-linked polyurethane foam coiled material is prepared by adopting a reaction foaming method, and the foamed coiled material product has the problem of higher density; the crosslinked organosilicon foam coiled material can adopt chemical foamingThe foam is prepared by a reaction foaming method, has excellent heat resistance and good compression recovery performance, but has the problems of low tearing strength and large cell size. Meanwhile, it is difficult to prepare a crosslinked polyurethane foam coil and a crosslinked silicone foam coil having a density as low as 0.3g/cm 3 And a foamed roll having a thickness of less than 0.3 mm. Furthermore, the sizes of the foam holes of the cross-linked polymer foaming coiled material prepared by the prior art are all 200-500 microns, and are all more than 100-200 microns, and the heat insulation performance is poor. Therefore, there is a need in the industry to produce high performance crosslinked polymer microcellular foamed webs that are simultaneously microcellular, low density, high heat resistance, high thermal insulation, high tear, and high resilience.
The thermoplastic elastomer comprises thermoplastic polyurethane, thermoplastic polyester elastomer and thermoplastic nylon elastomer which are high-performance elastomers, the melting point of the thermoplastic elastomer is generally higher than 150 ℃, even can reach 200 ℃, the thermoplastic elastomer can meet a plurality of application requirements under the condition of no crosslinking, and meanwhile, the thermoplastic elastomer has the excellent characteristics of high resilience, high tear strength, high elastic recovery and the like. CN113248770A discloses a method for preparing a thermoplastic elastomer foamed coiled material by high-pressure fluid physical foaming, and the density of the prepared thermoplastic elastomer foamed coiled material is 0.1-0.6 g/cm 3 However, the density of the thermoplastic elastomer foamed coiled material can not reach the level of the electronic crosslinked polyethylene (can be as low as 0.03 to 0.05 g/cm) 3 ) Secondly, the thermoplastic elastomers have linear molecular structures and low crystallinity, and have poor solvent resistance, poor creep resistance and poor high-temperature thermal stability, which limits the application field of the thermoplastic elastomer foamed coiled materials.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to overcome the defects of the prior art and provides a crosslinked thermoplastic elastomer micro-foaming coiled material, a preparation method and application thereof. The crosslinked thermoplastic elastomer micro-foamed coiled material has the advantages of uniform crosslinked network distribution, small and uniform foam hole size, low density, excellent heat resistance, good solvent resistance, smooth and clean surface crust, controllable thickness and the like, and the preparation conditions of the coiled material are mild, so that large-scale continuous production can be realized.
In order to realize the purpose, the invention adopts the technical scheme that:
the invention provides a crosslinked thermoplastic elastomer micro-foaming coiled material, wherein the thickness of the crosslinked thermoplastic elastomer micro-foaming coiled material is 0.5-10 mm, and the density of the crosslinked thermoplastic elastomer micro-foaming coiled material is 0.05-0.3 g/cm 3 The average cell size is 1-200 μm; the crosslinked thermoplastic elastomer micro-foaming coiled material comprises a thermoplastic elastomer, wherein the melting point of the thermoplastic elastomer is 150-200 ℃, and the crystallinity of the thermoplastic elastomer is 1-15%.
In the irradiation crosslinking process of the thermoplastic elastomer, molecular chains in an amorphous state are easy to crosslink, and molecular chains in a crystalline state are not easy to crosslink. Thermoplastic elastomers comprise a physically crosslinked network of crystalline ordered structures, which generally have a melting point higher than 150 ℃ and therefore have a high heat resistance, but the thermoplastic elastomers have a low crystallinity (e.g., 0 to 10%) and a linear molecular chain structure, which results in a thermoplastic elastomer foamed web having an insufficient heat resistance, poor solvent resistance and poor creep resistance.
The invention limits the melting point and the crystallinity of the thermoplastic elastomer, limits the molecular chain movement capacity of the thermoplastic elastomer melt, obtains the crosslinked thermoplastic elastomer with uniform crosslinked network structure after the thermoplastic elastomer is irradiated and crosslinked, and improves the thermal stability, the creep resistance and the chemical stability of the crosslinked thermoplastic elastomer.
The heat shrinkage rate of the crosslinked thermoplastic elastomer micro-foamed coiled material at 110 ℃/1h is less than 2%, and obvious performance attenuation can not occur after the coiled material is immersed in alcohols (alcohol resistance test) such as methanol, ethanol, butanol and the like for 1 h.
Preparing a foaming sample with the length and width larger than 10cm and 10cm, placing the foaming sample in an oven, taking out the foaming sample, measuring the length and width of the sample, and calculating the thermal shrinkage rate, wherein the formula is as follows: (initial length-post-shrinkage length)/initial length 100%.
As a preferred embodiment of the crosslinked thermoplastic elastomer micro-foamed web of the present invention, the crosslinked thermoplastic elastomer micro-foamed web comprises the following components in parts by weight:
80-100 parts of thermoplastic elastomer, 2-20 parts of polar elastomer, 0-3 parts of lubricant and 0-10 parts of nucleating agent.
As a preferred embodiment of the crosslinked thermoplastic elastomer micro-foamed web of the present invention, the thermoplastic elastomer comprises at least one of a thermoplastic polyurethane, a thermoplastic polyester elastomer, a nylon elastomer.
As a preferred embodiment of the crosslinked thermoplastic elastomer micro-foamed web of the present invention, the polar elastomer comprises an ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer or a polyolefin elastomer-maleic anhydride graft; the content of vinyl acetate in the ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer is 18-40 mol percent; the content of the maleic anhydride graft in the polyolefin elastomer maleic anhydride graft is 0.1-3.5 mol percent.
Preferably, the polyolefin elastomer-maleic anhydride graft comprises at least one of a maleic anhydride graft of ethylene vinyl acetate, a maleic anhydride graft of ethylene-propylene copolymer, and a maleic anhydride graft of ethylene-octene copolymer.
The ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer or polyolefin elastomer-maleic anhydride graft has low density, good irradiation crosslinking capability and supercritical fluid foaming capability, and the addition of the ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer or polyolefin elastomer-maleic anhydride graft can reduce the density of the crosslinked thermoplastic elastomer micro-foamed coiled material. Good compatibility is a prerequisite for the polar elastomer to improve the foaming properties of the crosslinked thermoplastic elastomer microcellular foamed webs.
The higher the vinyl acetate content of the ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer, the better its compatibility with the thermoplastic elastomer, but the lower the degree of radiation crosslinking of the elastomer composite; the higher the content of maleic anhydride grafts, the higher its compatibility with the thermoplastic elastomer, but it tends to cause the polar elastomer to exhibit a yellow and irritating taste, affecting the appearance and properties of the article. By limiting the content of vinyl acetate in the ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer and the content of maleic anhydride grafts in the polyolefin elastomer-maleic anhydride grafts, the compatibility between the thermoplastic elastomer and the polar elastomer can be improved on the premise of not losing the performance of the elastomer composite.
As a preferred embodiment of the crosslinked thermoplastic elastomer micro-foamed web of the present invention, the gel content is from 10 to 60wt.%, preferably from 40 to 50wt.%. The gel content of the crosslinked thermoplastic elastomer was tested by the solvent extraction method.
According to the invention, the gel content in the crosslinked thermoplastic elastomer micro-foamed coiled material is limited to 10-60wt.%, when the gel content is higher than 60wt.%, the foam hole growth is hindered, the crosslinked thermoplastic elastomer micro-foamed coiled material with moderate expansion ratio is difficult to obtain, and when the gel content is lower than 10wt.%, the movement of a melt molecular chain is violent, the fluid viscosity is small, and the heat resistance and the chemical stability of the crosslinked thermoplastic elastomer micro-foamed coiled material can be influenced.
According to the invention, the gel content of the crosslinked thermoplastic elastomer is limited, and the crosslinked thermoplastic elastomer coiled material prepared by twin-screw extrusion casting film forming and irradiation crosslinking can meet the requirement of subsequent foaming.
Preferably, the lubricant is at least one of stearic acid, stearate and polyethylene wax; the nucleating agent is at least one of calcium carbonate, talcum powder, mica and montmorillonite, and the size of the nucleating agent is 0.3-10 microns.
The invention provides a preparation method of the crosslinked thermoplastic elastomer micro-foaming coiled material, which comprises the following steps:
1) Adding 80-100 parts of thermoplastic elastomer, 0-20 parts of polar elastomer, 0-3 parts of lubricant and 0-10 parts of nucleating agent into a double-screw casting machine, and performing extrusion casting film forming and irradiation crosslinking to obtain a crosslinked thermoplastic elastomer coiled material with a crosslinked structure;
(2) Placing the crosslinked thermoplastic elastomer web into supercritical N 2 Dipping in fluid to obtain a dipped and crosslinked thermoplastic elastomer coiled material, then carrying out low-temperature air-locking treatment on the dipped and crosslinked thermoplastic elastomer coiled material, and carrying out hot air temperature rise physical foaming to obtain a crosslinked thermoplastic elastomer micro-foaming coiled material.
As a preferred embodiment of the preparation method of the present invention, in the step (1), a twin-screw extruder is used for continuous extrusion and casting to obtain a thermoplastic elastomer film, wherein the material is dried by hot air, the moisture content after drying is less than 0.05%, the temperature from the feed inlet to the casting die head of the extruder is set to be 120/160/180/200/190/190 ℃, and the thickness of the casting film is 0.1-4.0 mm.
There is a "valley" type relationship between the foaming temperature of the impregnated thermoplastic elastomer web and the density of the foamed web, resulting in difficulty in continuing to reduce the density of the thermoplastic elastomer foamed web by increasing the foaming temperature after the density of the thermoplastic elastomer foamed web reaches a minimum value. The cross-linked structure improves the thermal stability of the foamed melt, thereby allowing the cell structure in the melt to be further increased, and further remarkably improving the supercritical fluid foaming behavior of the cross-linked thermoplastic elastomer micro-foamed coiled material.
Preferably, in the step (1), the irradiation crosslinking adopts at least one of an electron accelerator, a 60 Co-gamma ray source, a 137 Cs-gamma ray source, an X-ray and a neutron source; the irradiation dose for irradiation crosslinking is 10-200 kGy, preferably 20-160 kGy.
As a preferred embodiment of the preparation method of the present invention, in the step (2), supercritical N is used 2 The solubility of the fluid in the crosslinked thermoplastic elastomer micro-foamed web is between 0.1 and 3.0wt.%, preferably between 0.2 and 2.5wt.%.
As a preferable embodiment of the production method of the present invention, in the step (2), the density of the initially expanded micro-foamed web of the crosslinked thermoplastic elastomer after the physical foaming by heating with hot air is not less than 0.02g/cm 3
After the crosslinked thermoplastic elastomer is foamed by heating, the heated foaming agent in the foam hole can continuously escape, and air in the air cannot diffuse into the foam hole in time, so that the pressure difference can cause the crosslinked thermoplastic elastomer micro-foamed coiled material to shrink to a certain degree, uniform shrinkage can cause a smooth sample surface, uniform coiled material thickness and the like, and uneven shrinkage can cause wrinkles on the surface of the coiled material and uneven thickness. Generally, the shrinkage behavior of the foaming coiled material is influenced by the condition of initial expansion after temperature rise foaming, and the shrinkage behavior of the crosslinking thermoplastic elastomer foaming coiled material is controlled by limiting the density of the initial expansion coiled material after temperature rise foaming, wherein the density of the initial expansion coiled material refers to the density tested within 10min after the crosslinking thermoplastic elastomer micro-foaming coiled material is prepared.
In a third aspect, the present invention provides the use of the crosslinked thermoplastic elastomer micro-foamed web in chemical mechanical polishing, adhesive tape, electronic appliance, automobile, rail transit, wearable electronic consumer product, or shoe material.
Preferably, the crosslinked thermoplastic elastomer micro-foaming coiled material further comprises a foaming skin layer and an internal foaming core layer, and the size of cells in the foaming core layer is 1-200 mu m.
Supercritical N 2 The fluid has low gas diffusion rate, high cell nucleation capability and high utilization rate of the foaming agent. Supercritical N 2 Too low a fluid solubility will reduce the degree of expansion of the crosslinked thermoplastic elastomer micro-foamed web, while too high a fluid solubility will significantly increase the pressure of the supercritical fluid, resulting in a significant increase in equipment costs. By pairing N 2 The content of the fluid, the low-temperature air-locking temperature and the escape content of the foaming agent are limited, so that the stable foaming of the impregnated crosslinked thermoplastic elastomer coiled material is facilitated, and the crosslinked thermoplastic elastomer micro-foamed coiled material with low density, smooth surface and uniform thickness is obtained.
Compared with the prior art, the invention has the following beneficial effects:
the invention provides a crosslinked thermoplastic elastomer micro-foaming coiled material and a preparation method and application thereof, wherein the crosslinked thermoplastic elastomer coiled material with uniform crosslinking network and proper crosslinking content is prepared by selecting raw materials, designing a formula, extruding, casting and irradiating for crosslinking, and supercritical N is adopted 2 Fluid impregnation, low-temperature air locking treatment and heating foaming are carried out to prepare the crosslinked thermoplastic elastomer micro-foamed coiled material, and the method can realize large-scale continuous production, and is safe and environment-friendly. The invention limits the melting point and the crystallinity of the thermoplastic elastomer, limits the molecular chain movement capacity of the thermoplastic elastomer melt, obtains the crosslinked thermoplastic elastomer with uniform crosslinked network structure after the thermoplastic elastomer is irradiated and crosslinked, and improves the thermal stability and the resistance of the crosslinked thermoplastic elastomerCreep property and chemical stability, and then improve the stability of microfoaming coiled material, this microfoaming coiled material is suitable for and uses in a plurality of fields such as chemical mechanical polishing, sealed and shock attenuation of sticky tape, electron electrical apparatus, car, track traffic, wearable consumer electronics, buffer memory packing, shoes material.
