Background
The foam molding process generally includes 3 stages: 1) Injecting gas to dissolve in the polymer melt to form a saturated homogeneous system; 2) The driving force of the internal and external pressure difference formed by rapid pressure relief forms a bubble nucleus hot spot and the nucleating agent is out of phase to form a hot spot nucleus; 3) The growth of bubble nuclei and the solidification and shaping of bubbles.
If the intensity of the melt is too low in the foaming process of the PA, the balance between the pressure of the gas generated by decomposition generated by foaming and the viscosity and elasticity of the material is difficult to achieve, and the tiny resistance in the foaming process can lead to the phenomena of foam cell collapse, cracking, merging and the like of the foam material, namely the foam wall can not maintain a certain intensity, so that effective bubbles can not be formed, so that special attention must be paid to control the elasticity of the melt so as to ensure that the production is carried out normally.
Nylon extrusion foaming molding is limited by factors such as low melt strength, semicrystalline materials, high technological control requirements in the extrusion process, high requirements on extrusion foaming molding equipment and the like, and it is difficult to prepare foam materials with uniform and continuous properties and stable cells. The size of the extruded foam sheet product of the extrusion foaming molding porous strip foam die head is single flat plate shape, and the surface of the extruded foam sheet product needs to be planed, so that the phenomena of rough and unsmooth foam surface and the like are caused.
Therefore, the existing technology for preparing the foaming material needs to be explored.

Drawings
The foregoing and/or additional aspects and advantages of the invention will become apparent and may be better understood from the following description of embodiments taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in which:
FIG. 1 is a schematic flow chart of a method for preparing a nylon compression molded foam according to one embodiment of the invention.
Detailed Description
The following detailed description of the embodiments of the invention is intended to be illustrative of the invention and is not to be taken as limiting the invention.
In one aspect of the invention, a method of making a nylon compression molded foam is provided. Referring to fig. 1, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the method includes:
s100: nylon, chain extender, nucleating agent and antioxidant are mixed and then are melt, blended and extruded
In the step, nylon, a chain extender, a nucleating agent and an antioxidant are uniformly mixed, and are added into a double-screw extruder for melt blending after being metered by a weight loss feeding system, and are extruded by a specially designed slit structure die head, and a nylon slab with the thickness of 10-20mm and the width of 200-250mm is obtained after cooling and shaping. The inventor finds that the storage modulus, the loss modulus and the complex viscosity of nylon are increased along with the increase of the addition amount, the loss factor of the nylon 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 foamability of the nylon, and the phenomena of collapse, cell breakage and cell merging in the foaming process are effectively prevented without obvious weakening along with the processing time; the nucleating agent forms a large number of low potential energy points at the interface between melts in the foaming process to form a large number of uniform nucleation hot spots, thereby being beneficial to obtaining the nylon mould pressing foaming material with higher multiplying power subsequently.
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 gel-like, similar to rubber, and the color is also deep, which is not beneficial to extrusion; if the chain extender is added too low, the growth of foam cannot be supported, so that the foam collapse phenomenon is caused; meanwhile, if the nucleating agent is excessively added, agglomeration is formed, and the formation of uniform cell structures is not facilitated; if the addition of the nucleating agent is too low, the ideal nucleating effect cannot be obtained, heterogeneous nucleation points are few, and a compact foam structure cannot be formed; if the addition amount of the antioxidant exceeds 1 part by weight, the antioxidation 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 TPAE is no 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 great brittleness; the PA6 and the TPAE are blended, and TPAE elastomer particles are dispersed in a PA6 matrix to form a stress concentration point which can absorb a large amount of external energy, so that the notch impact strength, low-temperature impact and processability of the PA6 are obviously improved, and the effect of a foam material toughening agent is achieved; and under the condition that the TPAE illumination ratio is not more than 20 parts by weight, the TPAE particles also play the role of a nucleating agent in the crystallization process of the PA6, promote the crystallization rate of the PA6 and facilitate the formation of a cell structure in the foaming process. Preferably, the mass ratio of the nylon to the chain extender to the nucleating agent to 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 isocyanate (HDI), polyfunctional epoxy (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, preferably sodium montanate. The inventor finds that long-chain linear saturated sodium montanate takes chain length C28-C32 as a main component and is used as a nylon nucleating agent, on one hand, the long-chain linear saturated sodium montanate reacts with a nylon end group to form micromolecule heterogeneous nucleation, so that the crystallization efficiency and the heat 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 a very strong polar center and a very long nonpolar carbon chain, the part compatible with plastics in polarity in the structure plays a role in internal lubrication, and the part incompatible with plastics in polarity plays a role in external lubrication and demolding, so that the fluidity of the extrusion process and the demolding property between a melt and equipment are improved and improved, and the gas expansion foaming processing period of the compression molding foaming process is shortened by 10%. The antioxidants include at least one of antioxidant 1098, antioxidant 1216, antioxidant 626, and antioxidant S9228.
According to a further embodiment of the present invention, at least one of a high temperature resistant lubricant and a compatibilizer may be added in the above steps, for example, nylon, a chain extender, a nucleating agent, an antioxidant, and the high temperature resistant lubricant and the compatibilizer are mixed and melt blended and extruded. The inventor finds that adding the high-temperature resistant lubricant can improve the phenomena of thermal degradation, melt fracture and surface roughness of the melt caused by over-high temperature and shearing, improve the fluidity of the melt in the extrusion process and improve the mold release between the melt and equipment. Preferred high temperature resistant lubricants are polyester waxes, montan acid waxes or PETs; the compatilizer can be one or more of MA-SEBS, SMA, POE-g-MAH, preferably SMA. The inventor finds that the SMA is a styrene-maleic anhydride graft copolymer, and the molecular chain contains more MA groups, so that the SMA can be subjected to amidation reaction with PA6 or esterification reaction with TPAE, and therefore, the interfacial compatibility of the TPAE and the 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 addition of the compatilizer SMA plays a role in improving the interfacial force between the blends while ensuring the high toughness of the foam material prepared by the later-stage compression molding, 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 weight 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 rough at a high temperature; if the addition amount of the high-temperature lubricant is too high, the melt strength of the melt is reduced, and the support of the gas by the foam cells is not facilitated. If the addition amount of the compatilizer is too high, plasticization is caused, the mechanical property and modulus of the nylon base material are reduced, and in addition, agglomeration and steric effect are generated; if the amount of the compatibilizing agent is too low, the two incompatible polymers cannot be caused to bond together by intermolecular bonding forces.
S200: heating the nylon slab in the foaming cavity of the one-step compression molding mold, and injecting high-pressure supercritical fluid into the foaming cavity after the nylon slab is melted
In the step, the obtained nylon slab is placed in a foaming cavity of a one-time compression molding die for treatment under the pressure of 6-15 MPa and the temperature of 210-270 ℃, high-pressure supercritical fluid is injected into the foaming cavity after the nylon slab is melted, so that the high-pressure supercritical fluid is diffused and dissolved in the nylon slab, and the die is opened for pressure relief after the high-pressure supercritical fluid is locked for 10-25 min, so that the nylon pre-foaming material with the foaming multiplying power of 2-5 times is obtained.
Further, according to one 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 (a) and (b); and is used in an amount of 1.5 to 3 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the nylon physical blowing agent. The inventor finds that if the addition amount of the physical foaming agent is too high, the excessive foaming agent does not participate in the cell growth process due to the limited solubility of the foaming agent in the nylon slab; 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 into a foaming cavity of a secondary compression molding die, locking gas under normal pressure and heating for a second preset time, and opening the die to release 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, the die is opened for pressure relief, cooling and shaping are carried out, and finally the nylon compression molding foaming material with high multiplying power and closed hole rate of more than or equal to 95% is obtained. 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 holes is 50-200 um, and the yield is more than or equal to 95%. According to GBT10799-2008 standard, the closed porosity of the nylon mould pressing foaming material is more than 95%; the nylon compression molded foam has a tensile strength of greater than 1.0MPa according to ASTM C297 standard.
In the traditional foam compression molding, a one-time compression molding foaming process is adopted, in order to reduce the density, namely to improve the foaming rate, and when the using amount of the foaming agent is increased to be the same as that of the two-time compression molding foaming agent, when the foaming material is released and taken out of the mold, foaming gas is instantaneously released, and foam holes grow up, so that the volume of the foaming material is 10-20 times compared with that of the foaming material in the mold, and the foaming material is broken and torn due to intense expansion in the process, so that the foaming quality of the foaming material is poor. In the application, the foaming is carried out by adopting twice mould pressing, the size of the foaming material is controlled to be 2-5 times of proper expansion volume ratio by virtue of once mould pressing foaming, then the pre-foaming material is moved into a twice mould pressing forming mould, normal pressure is set and heated, so that the gas remained in the pre-foaming material is slowly released, the size of the foaming material is gradually expanded to be the size designed according to the formula (5-20 times of expansion ratio), and the phenomena of hole and tearing of the foaming plate caused by the fierce expansion of once foaming are solved. Meanwhile, compared with the traditional extrusion foaming molding porous strip foaming die head extrusion foam board product, the size of the product is single flat plate shape, the product needs to be planed, the phenomenon that the surface of the foam is rough and not smooth is caused, and the like, the surface of the nylon mould pressing foaming material obtained by the invention is smooth.
In a second aspect of the invention, the invention provides a nylon compression molded foam. According to the embodiment of the invention, the nylon mould pressing foaming material is prepared by adopting the method. Thus, compared with the common foam material with the same density, the nylon mould pressing foam material prepared by the method (the density is less than or equal to 100kg/m at the lowest) 3 ) The mechanical property is higher, and the temperature resistance can reach 205 ℃ while the weight is greatly reduced; meanwhile, the obtained nylon mould pressing foaming material has extremely strong energy absorption, buffering and shockproof performances and excellent chemical resistance, is breathable, washable and reusable, and has a finished product yield of more than 95%, a closed pore rate of more than or equal to 95% and a foaming multiplying power of 5-20 times, so that the method can be practically applied to production and manufacturing and produce economic benefits, and can be widely applied to various fields of automobiles, aerospace, product protection, industrial parts, oceans, buildings, military, medical treatment, sports, leisure and the like.
