Background
The foam forming process generally comprises 3 stages: 1) Injecting gas to dissolve in the polymer melt to form a saturated homogeneous system; 2) The internal and external pressure difference formed by rapid pressure relief drives the formation of bubble nucleus hot spots and heterogeneous formation of nucleating agents into hot spot nuclei; 3) The growth of bubble nucleus and the solidification and shaping of the bubble body.
If the melt strength is too low in the PA foaming process, the balance between the gas pressure generated by decomposition due to foaming and the viscosity and elasticity of the material is difficult to achieve, and the phenomena of foam cell collapse, rupture, combination and the like can be caused by tiny resistance in foaming, namely, the foam wall can not maintain certain strength, so that effective bubbles can not be formed, and special attention must be paid to controlling the elasticity of the melt to ensure the normal production.
The nylon extrusion foaming molding is limited by factors such as low melt strength, semi-crystallinity of materials, high process control requirement of the extrusion process, high requirement of extrusion foaming molding equipment and the like, and the foam materials with uniform and continuous performance and stable foam holes are difficult to prepare. The size of the foam sheet product extruded by the extrusion foaming molding porous strip foam die head is single flat plate shape, and the surface needs to be planed, so that the foam surface is rough and not smooth, and the like.
Therefore, the existing techniques for preparing foamed materials are still under investigation.

Drawings
The above and/or additional aspects and advantages of the present invention will become apparent and readily appreciated from the following description of the embodiments, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of which:
fig. 1 is a schematic flow chart of a method for preparing a nylon molded foam material according to one embodiment of the present invention.
Detailed Description
The following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention is intended to be illustrative, and not to be construed as limiting the invention.
In one aspect of the invention, a method of making a nylon molded foam is provided. According to an embodiment of the invention, with reference to fig. 1, the method comprises:
s100: mixing nylon, chain extender, nucleating agent and antioxidant, and then melting, blending and extruding
In the step, nylon, a chain extender, a nucleating agent and an antioxidant are uniformly mixed, are metered by a weight-loss feeding system and then are added into a double-screw extruder for melt blending, are extruded by a specially designed slit structure die head, and are cooled and shaped to obtain a nylon plate blank with the thickness of 10-20mm and the width of 200-250mm. The inventor finds that the storage modulus, the loss modulus and the complex viscosity of the nylon are increased along with the increase of the addition amount, the loss factor is reduced along with the increase of the addition amount, the addition of the chain extender can effectively improve the melt strength of the nylon and improve the foaming property of the nylon, the phenomenon of obvious weakening is avoided along with the processing time, and the phenomena of foam collapse, foam hole breakage and foam hole combination in the foaming process are effectively prevented; the nucleating agent forms a large number of low potential energy points at the interface between melts in the foaming process, and forms a large number of uniform nucleating hot points, thereby being beneficial to obtaining the nylon mould pressing foaming material with higher multiplying power in the follow-up process.
Further, the mass ratio of the nylon, the chain extender, the nucleating agent and the antioxidant is 100: (0.5-2): (0.5-2): (0.5-1). The inventor finds that if the chain extender is added too high, the melt is in a gel state, similar to a rubber state, the color is also darkened, and the extrusion is not facilitated; if the addition of the chain extender is too low, the growth of foam cannot be supported, and the foam collapse phenomenon is caused; meanwhile, if the nucleating agent is added too much, agglomeration can be formed, which is not beneficial to the formation of a uniform cell structure; if the addition of the nucleating agent is too low, an ideal nucleating effect cannot be achieved, heterogeneous nucleating points are few, and a compact foam structure cannot be formed; if the addition amount of the antioxidant exceeds 1 part by weight, the antioxidant stabilizing effect is not increased any more, and a precipitation phenomenon exists; if the antioxidant is added too low, the oxidability of the material cannot be effectively reduced, and the material is discolored and degraded. According to one embodiment of the invention, the nylon comprises at least one of PA6, PA66, PA610, PA612, PA12, PA1212, PA56, TPAE and MXD6, preferably a combination of PA6 and TPAE, and the proportion of TPAE is not more than 20% of the combined mass of PA6 and TPAE. The inventors found that PA6 has high strength and stiffness, low friction, excellent chemical and abrasion resistance, but is brittle; the PA6 and the TPAE are blended, TPAE elastomer particles are dispersed in a PA6 matrix to form a stress concentration point, and the stress concentration point can absorb a large amount of external energy, remarkably improve the notch impact strength, low-temperature impact and processability of the PA6 and play a role of a foam material toughening agent; and under the condition that the proportion of TPAE is not more than 20 parts by weight, TPAE particles also play a role of nucleating agent in the crystallization process of PA6, so that the crystallization rate of PA6 is promoted, and the formation of a cell structure in the foaming process is facilitated. Preferably, the mass ratio of the nylon, the chain extender, the nucleating agent and the antioxidant is 100: (0.5-2): (0.5-2): (0.5-1).
Further, the chain extender includes, but is not limited to, at least one of a Homoisocyanate (HDI), a polyfunctional epoxy resin (ADR 4468), and triglycidyl isocyanurate (TGIC); the nucleating agent includes, but is not limited to, at least one of silica, talc, sodium montanate, magnesium oxide, and aluminum oxide, and preferably sodium montanate. The inventor finds that the long-chain linear saturated sodium montanate takes the chain length of C28-C32 as the main component and is used as a nylon nucleating agent, on one hand, the long-chain linear saturated sodium montanate and nylon end groups carry out branching chemical reaction to form micromolecule heterogeneous nucleation, so that the crystallization efficiency and the thermal deformation temperature of nylon are improved, uniform and compact cell nucleation points are formed, and the preparation of a foam material with lower density is facilitated; on the other hand, the sodium montanate has very strong polar centers and very long nonpolar carbon chains, and the part compatible with the plastic in polarity in the structure of the sodium montanate plays a role in internal lubrication, and the part incompatible with the plastic in polarity plays a role in external lubrication and demolding, so that the fluidity in the extrusion process and the demolding performance between a melt and equipment are improved and improved, and the gas expansion foaming processing period of 10 percent in the mould pressing foaming process is shortened. The antioxidant comprises at least one of antioxidant 1098, antioxidant 1216, antioxidant 626 and antioxidant S9228.
According to another embodiment of the present invention, at least one of the high temperature resistant lubricant and the compatibilizer may be further added in the above step, for example, nylon, the chain extender, the nucleating agent, and the antioxidant are mixed with the high temperature resistant lubricant and the compatibilizer and then are melt blended and extruded. The inventor finds that the high-temperature-resistant lubricant is added, so that the phenomena of thermal degradation, melt fracture and surface roughness of the melt caused by high temperature and shearing can be improved, the fluidity of the melt in the extrusion process is improved, and the demolding performance between the melt and equipment is improved. Preferably, the high-temperature-resistant lubricant is polyester wax, montanic acid wax or PETs; the compatilizer can be compounded by one or more of MA-SEBS, SMA and POE-g-MAH, and preferably the SMA is adopted. The inventor finds that SMA is a styrene-maleic anhydride graft copolymer, and the molecular chain contains more MA groups, so that the SMA can perform amidation reaction with PA6 and esterification reaction with TPAE, and the interfacial compatibility of TPAE and PA6 can be obviously improved; meanwhile, the tensile strength and the bending strength of the foam material of the blending system are reduced along with the increase of the TPAE content, and the compatilizer SMA is added to play a role in improving the action force of the phase interface between the blends while ensuring that the foam material prepared by the compression molding of the rear section has high toughness, so that the foam material is ensured to have higher tensile strength and bending strength.
Further, the high temperature-resistant lubricant is used in an amount of 0.2 to 0.5 parts by weight, and the compatibilizer is preferably used in an amount of 0.5 to 1 part by weight, based on 100 parts by mass of the nylon. The inventor finds that if the adding amount of the high-temperature lubricant is too low, the high-temperature lubricant cannot play a role in lubrication, and the melt is relatively coarse in a high-temperature state; and if the adding amount of the high-temperature lubricant is too high, the melt strength of the melt is reduced, and the gas support of the cells is not facilitated. If the addition amount of the compatilizer is too high, plasticization is caused, the mechanical property and the modulus of the nylon base material are reduced, and in addition, agglomeration and steric effect are generated; if the addition amount of the compatibilizer is too low, the incompatible two polymers cannot be bonded together by virtue of intermolecular bonding force.
S200: placing the nylon plate blank in a foaming cavity of a primary compression molding mold for heating, and injecting high-pressure supercritical fluid into the foaming cavity when the nylon plate blank is molten
In the step, the obtained nylon plate blank is placed in a foaming cavity of a primary compression molding die to be processed at the pressure of 6-15 MPa and the temperature of 210-270 ℃, and high-pressure supercritical fluid is injected into the foaming cavity when the nylon plate blank is melted, so that the high-pressure supercritical fluid is diffused and dissolved in the nylon plate blank, the high-pressure supercritical fluid is locked for 10-25 min, and then the die is opened to release the pressure, so that the nylon pre-foaming material with the foaming multiplying power of 2-5 times is obtained.
Further, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the physical blowing agent includes, but is not limited to, cyclopentane, N 2 And CO 2 At least one of; and the amount of the nylon physical blowing agent is 1.5 to 3 parts by weight based on 100 parts by mass of the nylon physical blowing agent. The inventor finds that if the addition amount of the physical foaming agent is too high, the redundant foaming agent does not participate in the cell growth process due to the limited solubility of the foaming agent in the nylon plate blank; if the addition amount of the physical foaming agent is too low, the foaming ratio is low, and the weight reduction is not obvious.
S300: placing the nylon pre-foaming material in a foaming cavity of a secondary compression molding mould, locking gas at normal pressure and under heating for a second preset time, and then opening the mould to relieve pressure
In the step, the obtained nylon pre-foaming material is placed in a foaming cavity of a secondary compression molding die, gas is locked at the temperature of 210-270 ℃ for 10-30 min under normal pressure, then the die is opened to release pressure, and cooling and shaping are carried out, thus finally obtaining the nylon compression molding foaming material with high multiplying power and more than or equal to 95% of closed pore rate. Specifically, the density of the nylon mould pressing foaming material is 0.08-1.0 g/cm 3 The foaming multiplying power is 5-20 times, the size of the foam hole is 50-200 um, and the yield is more than or equal to 95 percent. The nylon molded foaming material is prepared according to GBT10799-2008 standardThe material closed porosity is more than 95%; the nylon molded foam has a tensile strength greater than 1.0MPa according to ASTM C297.
In the process of the traditional foam compression molding, in order to reduce the density, namely improve the foaming rate, the using amount of the foaming agent is increased to be the same as that of the foaming agent used in the two-time compression molding, when the foaming material is subjected to pressure relief and mold stripping, foaming gas can be instantly released, cells grow up, the volume of the foaming material is instantly expanded by 10-20 times relative to the volume in the mold, and the foaming material is broken and torn due to the violent expansion in the process, so that the foaming quality of the foaming material is poor. In the application, two-time mould pressing is adopted for foaming, the size of the foaming material is controlled at a proper expansion volume ratio (2-5 times) by virtue of one-time mould pressing foaming, then the pre-foaming material is moved into a secondary mould pressing forming mould, the normal pressure is set and the pre-foaming material is heated, so that the gas remained in the pre-foaming material is slowly released, the size of the foaming material is gradually expanded to the size (5-20 times) designed according to the formula, and the phenomena of hole breaking and tearing of the foaming plate caused by one-time foaming violent expansion are solved. Meanwhile, compared with the phenomenon that the size of a foam plate product extruded by a traditional extrusion foaming molding porous strip foam die head is single flat plate shape, and the surface of the foam plate product needs to be planed, so that the surface of the foam is rough and not smooth, the nylon mould pressing foaming material obtained by the invention has a smooth surface.
In a second aspect of the invention, a nylon molded foam is provided. According to the embodiment of the invention, the nylon molded foaming material is prepared by adopting the method. Therefore, compared with common foam materials with the same density, the nylon molded foam material prepared by the method disclosed by the application (the density is less than or equal to 100kg/m at the lowest) 3 ) The mechanical property is high, and the temperature resistance can reach 205 ℃ while the weight is greatly reduced; meanwhile, the obtained nylon mould pressing foaming material has strong energy absorption, buffering and shock resistance and excellent chemical resistance, is breathable, washable and reusable, the yield of finished products can reach more than 95 percent, the closed cell rate is more than or equal to 95 percent, and the foaming multiplying power is 5 to 20 times, so that the nylon mould pressing foaming material has the advantages of strong energy absorption, buffering and shock resistance, and excellent chemical resistance, and is breathable, washable and reusable, and the finished product yield can reach more than 95 percent, and the closed cell rate is more than or equal to 95 percent, so that the nylon mould pressing foaming material has the foaming multiplying power of 5 to 20 times, thereby the nylon mould pressing foaming material has the advantages of high strength, good sealing property and good sealing propertyThe method can be practically applied to production and manufacturing, generates economic benefits, and can be widely applied to a plurality of fields of automobiles, aerospace, product protection, industrial parts, oceans, buildings, military affairs, medical treatment, sports, leisure and the like.
