Description

Nylon powder for 3D printing with high multiplexing rate
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of 3D printing resin, and particularly relates to nylon powder for 3D printing with a high multiplexing rate.
Background
The 3D printing, namely the additive manufacturing technology, is a novel manufacturing and processing technology, changes the traditional material reduction manufacturing technology (cutting processing technology), and is applied to the fields of industry, building, medical treatment and the like. Wherein, selective Laser Sintering (SLS) is with its advantages such as being suitable for the material variety abundant, goods excellent performance, becomes the hot spot in 3D printing field, and its applicable consumptive material is mostly polymeric material and metal material.
At present, a polymer powder material widely applied to a selective laser sintering material is a nylon material, and has the advantages of good thermal stability, low melt viscosity, high strength of a sintered forming piece, good compactness and the like, but the cost is high, so that the use cost of consumables can be reduced by recycling powder in actual use. Research shows that the sintered nylon powder generates viscous flow due to the aggravation of molecular chain segment movement, so that the viscosity is increased, the melt fluidity is poor, the performance of a sintered part is reduced, and the surface smoothness is reduced; therefore, the key factor for improving the reuse rate of the nylon powder is to improve the melt fluidity of the nylon powder.
In the sintering process, under the nitrogen atmosphere, the terminal carboxyl and the terminal amino which are not completely blocked on the main chain of the nylon molecule can generate condensation reaction, so that the molecular weight of the recovered powder is increased, the high-temperature aging phenomenon is generated, the melt fluidity is obviously reduced, and the reuse rate of the nylon powder is reduced. The current common method is to mix the uncured powder around the sintered part with new powder for reuse. However, because the mixing amount of the new powder is large, the recycling rate of the recycled powder is low, and meanwhile, the performance of the added recycled powder material is changed, the performance of a sintered part is influenced to a certain extent, and the recycling frequency of the recycled powder is very limited.
Therefore, nylon needs to be modified, entanglement of nylon molecular chains in a sintering process is effectively reduced, and increase of molecular weight in an aging process is prevented, so that reduction of melt fluidity is avoided, and the nylon powder reuse rate is improved.

In order to reduce the influence of high-temperature aging of nylon powder on melt fluidity in a sintering process, the invention introduces the novel functionalized aromatic hydroxyl-terminated polyether end-capping modifier, thereby avoiding the reduction of melt fluidity caused by end group condensation in the high-temperature sintering process. An aromatic benzene ring structure is introduced to be conjugated with O and N atoms in amido bonds, and the introduced amido bonds enhance intermolecular force, so that the heat resistance and stability of a nylon molecular chain are better; and meanwhile, polyether flexible chain segments are introduced, so that molecular chain entanglement is effectively prevented.
The nylon has a long carbon chain structure and good flexibility, so that aromatic hydroxyl-terminated polyether with a novel structure is introduced as a terminated modifier, the direction of the added ether chain is consistent with the direction of a nylon main chain, the flexibility of the tail end of the nylon chain is properly increased by the ether chain, the molecular structure of the nylon chain is linear, and the distance between the tail ends of the nylon chain and the mean square is reduced, so that the entanglement degree of the tail ends of the nylon is effectively avoided, the toughness is improved, meanwhile, the molecular chain entanglement in the sintering process is reduced, and the flowability of nylon powder is increased; the benzene ring structure introduced at the tail end of the material increases the rigidity through the conjugation, reduces the reduction of the strength and the glass transition temperature caused by the introduction of a flexible chain segment, and improves the heat resistance of a molecular chain; the stability of the introduced amido bond can be effectively improved.

Compared with example 4, the difference is that adipic acid is used as the end-capping reagent, and as can be seen from table 6, as the sintering frequency increases, the melt index of the PA12 powder is significantly reduced, and meanwhile, the tensile strength, the elongation at break and the impact toughness are all lower, but as the multiplexing frequency increases, the tensile strength increases to a certain extent, and the elongation at break shows a significantly decreasing trend; the impact toughness of the material shows a trend of increasing firstly and then decreasing with the increase of the reuse times. The melt flowability and mechanical properties were inferior to those obtained by using the novel end-capping modifier in example 4.
After the nylon 12 powder prepared by the invention is repeatedly sintered for eight times, the melt index is reduced to 42.3g/10min from 48.8g/10min, and is reduced by 13.3 percent compared with the melt index of the new powder, the tensile strength and the elongation at break of a formed part prepared from the powder after end capping modification are not obviously reduced after being reused for 8 times, and the impact toughness is more stable. Therefore, the aromatic hydroxyl-terminated polyether end-capping modifier with a novel structure is introduced, so that the reduction of melt fluidity caused by the increase of molecular weight and molecular chain entanglement in the sintering process of nylon powder can be effectively avoided, the reusability of the powder is obviously improved, and the toughness of a formed part is enhanced.
