Description

Plant fiber reinforced polypropylene material and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of plastic materials, in particular to a plant fiber reinforced polypropylene material and a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
Polypropylene (PP) is widely used in the fields of automobiles, home appliances, electric tools, etc. because of its advantages of abundant raw material sources, light specific gravity, low price, etc. Various plastic products derived from polypropylene occupy an important position in daily life of people, but because polypropylene is extracted from petroleum, the use of the plastic products in large quantity inevitably causes a great deal of consumption of petroleum resources; and the plastic products have short service life and are not easy to degrade after being discarded, which can stress and destroy the natural ecological environment, thus promoting the increasing demand of people on biodegradable and non-petroleum-based renewable resources. The natural plant fiber is a renewable resource with the most abundant reserves in the nature, has higher strength due to the existence of a huge hydrogen bond network structure, is a reinforcing filler of a plurality of high polymer materials, and has irreplaceable effect on solving the problems of energy and environmental protection. The plant fiber composite plastic material is durable, has long service life, has the appearance similar to wood, has higher hardness than plastic, does not have the defects of wood products, such as wooden knots, inclined textures, decay and the like, and is more and more favored by designers of automobile decorative materials.
The plant fiber reinforced polypropylene material has the following problems: (1) Because the polypropylene has side methyl, tertiary carbon atoms alternately appear on the molecular chain of the polypropylene, and the tertiary carbon atoms are easily attacked by heat and oxygen to generate oxidation reaction, so that the material has the problems of poor oxidation resistance, easy pulverization, great attenuation of mechanical property and the like; (2) The plant fiber surface contains a large amount of hydroxyl groups and has strong hydrophilicity, but the hydrophobic polypropylene resin lacks groups capable of reacting with the hydroxyl groups, so that the compatibility of the plant fiber and the polypropylene resin is poor, gaps and defects are easily formed at the interface, the tensile strength and the impact resistance of the material are poor, and the defects can further induce a thermal oxidation reaction, accelerate the pulverization of the material and reduce the mechanical property.
Therefore, the plant fiber reinforced polypropylene material with excellent thermal-oxidative aging resistance and mechanical property has excellent industrial application prospect.
Disclosure of Invention
Based on the defects in the prior art, the invention aims to provide a plant fiber reinforced polypropylene material, and a preparation method and application thereof.
In order to achieve the above object, in a first aspect, the present invention provides a plant fiber reinforced polypropylene material, which comprises the following components in parts by weight: 76-88 parts of polypropylene resin, 12-24 parts of plant fiber, 2-8 parts of compatilizer, 0.2-0.6 part of nucleating agent and 0.2-0.6 part of first antioxidant, wherein the compatilizer comprises polypropylene grafted polyethylene glycol dimethacrylate. The plant fiber has a special structure, high crystallinity and a compact hydrogen bond network, and strong intramolecular/intermolecular acting force; the polyethylene glycol dimethacrylate grafted with polypropylene has large polyethylene glycol dimethacrylate functional group size and small interaction, and can be used for replacing hydroxyl in plant fibers, so that the hydrogen bond effect among plant fiber components can be weakened, the bonding force among molecules can be reduced, and the crystal structure of the plant fibers can be damaged, thereby improving the movement capability of molecular chains in the plant fibers, greatly improving the compatibility between hydrophilic plant fibers and hydrophobic polypropylene resin in the thermal processing process, enhancing the interface bonding force of the hydrophilic plant fibers and the hydrophobic polypropylene resin, promoting the polypropylene and the plant fibers to form a stable blending structure, and remarkably improving the thermal-oxidative aging resistance, tensile strength, impact strength and other mechanical properties of the plant fiber reinforced polypropylene material.
The nucleating agent can refine polypropylene spherulites and make the crystallization more uniform and regular, thereby reducing gaps and defects of polypropylene and plant fiber interfaces, obstructing the entry of oxygen and improving the thermal-oxidative aging resistance of the material.
Under the combined action of the polypropylene grafted polyethylene glycol dimethacrylate and the nucleating agent, the thermal-oxidative aging resistance (the pulverization time is more than 200h, the testing method is the same as the effect example, the following is the same) and the mechanical properties such as tensile strength, impact strength and the like of the plant fiber reinforced polypropylene material are obviously improved, the comprehensive performance is more excellent, and the plant fiber reinforced polypropylene material is suitable for being used as an automobile exterior material and even an automobile interior material (wherein the pulverization time required by the automobile exterior material is more than 200h, and the pulverization time required by the automobile interior material is more than 400 h).
In the polypropylene grafted polyethylene glycol dimethacrylate, polypropylene is used as a main chain, and polyethylene glycol dimethacrylate is used as a branched chain.
Preferably, the plant fiber reinforced polypropylene material comprises the following components in parts by weight: 79 to 87 portions of polypropylene resin, 18 to 21 portions of plant fiber, 4 to 6 portions of compatilizer, 0.3 to 0.5 portion of nucleating agent and 0.4 to 0.6 portion of first antioxidant. Under the specific formula, the plant fiber reinforced polypropylene material has higher tensile strength and impact strength, longer pulverization time and more excellent comprehensive performance.
Optionally, the grafting ratio of the polypropylene grafted polyethylene glycol dimethacrylate is 0.3% to 1.5%. Preferably, the grafting rate of the polypropylene grafted polyethylene glycol dimethacrylate is 0.5-1.5%.

The degree of difficulty in obtaining the polypropylene grafted polyethylene glycol dimethacrylate and the degree of improvement of the thermal oxidation aging resistance, the tensile strength, the impact strength and other mechanical properties of the plant fiber reinforced polypropylene material are comprehensively considered, and the grafting rate of the polypropylene grafted polyethylene glycol dimethacrylate is preferably 0.5-1.5%.

The average fiber length of the plant fiber can be selected within the range of 0.5-8 mm. However, when the average fiber length of the plant fiber is too short, the contact interface between the plant fiber and the outside is too much, so that the thermal-oxidative aging resistance of the material is reduced, the interweaving and bridging in resin are not facilitated, the mechanical property is reduced, meanwhile, the texture effect of the plant fiber cannot be observed, and the decoration effect cannot be achieved; when the average fiber length of the plant fibers is too long, the plant fibers are easy to accumulate and aggregate in the processing process, the dispersion effect is poor, the heat-oxygen aging resistance and the mechanical property of the material are not good, and the good ornamental effect cannot be achieved, so that the average fiber length of the plant fibers is preferably within the range of 2-5 mm.

As can be seen from Table 4, compared with the plant fiber reinforced polypropylene material of comparative example 1 without the addition of the compatilizer and the nucleating agent, the pulverization time of the plant fiber reinforced polypropylene material prepared by the embodiments of the invention is remarkably prolonged (above 200 h), that is, the thermo-oxidative aging resistance is remarkably improved, meanwhile, the mechanical properties such as tensile strength, impact strength and the like are remarkably improved, the comprehensive performance is more excellent, and the requirements of automobile exterior decorations on the material performance can be met. And when the plant fiber reinforced polypropylene material comprises the following components in parts by weight: 79 to 87 parts of polypropylene resin, 18 to 21 parts of plant fiber, 4 to 6 parts of compatilizer, 0.3 to 0.5 part of nucleating agent and 0.4 to 0.6 part of first antioxidant, the plant fiber reinforced polypropylene material has higher tensile strength and impact strength, longer pulverization time and more excellent comprehensive performance.
Compared with the example 2, the polypropylene resin has poor compatibility with the plant fiber, weak intermolecular bonding force, shorter pulverization time, poorer mechanical properties such as tensile strength, impact strength and the like without adding a compatilizer.
Compared with the example 2, the nucleating agent is added in too much amount and dispersed unevenly, so that the nucleating agent is easy to agglomerate, the effects of refining polypropylene grains and increasing the compatibility with plant fibers cannot be achieved, the pulverization time is obviously shortened, the requirements of automobile exterior and interior decorations cannot be met, and the mechanical properties such as impact strength and the like are obviously poor.
Compared with example 2, the addition amount of the compatilizer is too much, which is contrary to the action of a bridge, the excessive compatilizer is stacked, the most effective combination of the PP resin and the surface of the plant fiber is prevented, the branched chains of the polyethylene glycol dimethacrylate functional groups are tangled, the flexibility of the polypropylene resin is reduced, and the impact strength is greatly reduced; and the aging level is obviously reduced.
Example 12 compares with comparative examples 3-4 and shows that, compared with conventional compatibilizers 1 and 2, the compatibilizer 4 has a better effect of improving the thermo-oxidative aging resistance and mechanical properties of the material, because the polyethylene glycol dimethacrylate functional group of the compatibilizer 4 has a large size and a small interaction, and replaces hydroxyl in the plant fiber with the polyethylene glycol dimethacrylate functional group, so that the hydrogen bonding effect between the components of each plant fiber can be weakened, the bonding force between molecules can be reduced, and the crystalline structure of the plant fiber can be destroyed, thereby improving the mobility of molecular chains in the plant fiber, greatly improving the compatibility between the hydrophilic plant fiber and the hydrophobic polypropylene resin in the thermal processing process, enhancing the interfacial bonding force between the hydrophilic plant fiber and the hydrophobic polypropylene resin, promoting the polypropylene and the plant fiber to form a stable blending structure, effectively blocking oxygen from entering the air, and remarkably improving the thermo-oxidative aging resistance and the comprehensive mechanical properties (such as tensile strength and impact resistance) of the plant fiber reinforced polypropylene material.
Comparing examples 2 and 12-14, it can be seen that, with the increase of the grafting rate of polypropylene grafted polyethylene glycol dimethacrylate, the powdering time of the plant fiber reinforced polypropylene material is longer, and the mechanical properties such as tensile strength, impact strength and the like are better. The polypropylene grafted polyethylene glycol dimethacrylate is difficult to prepare after the grafting rate of the polypropylene grafted polyethylene glycol dimethacrylate exceeds 1.5 percent, so the grafting rate of the polypropylene grafted polyethylene glycol dimethacrylate is preferably within the range of 0.5 to 1.5 percent to obtain better heat-resistant oxygen aging resistance and mechanical property.
Comparing example 3 with examples 6 to 9, it can be seen that the coconut fiber can prolong the powdering time of the plant fiber reinforced polypropylene material and improve the mechanical properties such as tensile strength and impact strength, compared with the plant fibers such as Korean pine fiber, wheat straw fiber, coconut fiber and bamboo fiber.
The comparison of examples 2 and 15-18 shows that the average fiber length of the plant fibers can affect the thermal-oxidative-aging-resistant performance and the mechanical property of the plant fiber reinforced polypropylene material, the average fiber length of the plant fibers is too short, so that the contact interface between the plant fibers and the outside is too many, the thermal-oxidative-aging-resistant performance is reduced, the interweaving and bridging in resin are not facilitated, the mechanical property is reduced, meanwhile, the texture effect of the plant fibers cannot be observed, and the decoration effect cannot be achieved; the average fiber length of the plant fibers is too long, the plant fibers are easy to accumulate and aggregate in the processing process, the dispersion effect is not good, the heat-resistant oxygen aging resistance and the mechanical property of the material are not good, and meanwhile, the good ornamental effect cannot be achieved; in addition, the excess length is crushed by the twin-screw extruder during the processing, and the partial actual remaining length is reduced to a normal level, so that the average fiber length of the vegetable fiber is preferably in the range of 2 to 5 mm.
Comparison between example 3 and example 10 shows that the polypropylene copolymer can obtain better mechanical properties and longer pulverization time of the plant fiber reinforced polypropylene material than the polypropylene homopolymer.
Comparing example 3 with example 11, it can be known that compared with the beta crystal form nucleating agent, the alpha crystal form nucleating agent enables the pulverization time of the plant fiber reinforced polypropylene material to be longer, and the mechanical properties such as tensile strength, impact strength and the like to be better.
Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used for illustrating the technical solutions of the present invention and not for limiting the protection scope of the present invention, and although the present invention is described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, it should be understood by those skilled in the art that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made on the technical solutions of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention.
