Description

The extrusion compositions of the width of cloth that contracts that has high drawdown and significantly reduce
The present invention relates to the polyethylene extrusion compositions.Specifically, the present invention relates to a kind of ethene polymers extrusion compositions of the width of cloth that contracts that has high drawdown and significantly reduce.The invention still further relates to the method for making this ethene polymers extrusion compositions and make the goods of extrusion coating goods, extrusion profile form and extrude the method for the goods of curtain coating form of film.
The known heterogeneous linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) (LLDPE) of being made in low pressure to middle pressure combined polymerization in the presence of common Ziegler coordination (transition metal) catalyst at low density polyethylene (LDPE) (LDPE) that high pressure polymerisation in the presence of the radical initiator is made and by ethene and alpha-olefin by ethene and ultra-low density polyethylene (ULDPE) for example can be used for to ground such as cardboard carry out extrusion coating, for the preparation of the sleeve pipe of extruding cast film and preparing extrusion profile such as electric wire and cable such as disposable diaper and food Package. Yet although LDPE shows usually and excellent extrudes processing characteristics and height is extruded drawing speed, for many application, the LDPE extrusion compositions lacks enough anti-misuse and toughness.For extrusion coating with extrude curtain coating, have high molecular and (that is to say melt index I by providing2Less than about 2g/10) the LDPE composition be invalid with the trial that improves anti-misuse property, to such an extent as to because this composition must have too high melt strength can not be successfully drafted under high line speed.
Although LLDPE and ULDPE extrusion compositions have improved anti-misuse and toughness and MDPE (medium-density polyethylene) extrusion compositions and have improved barrier properties (for example preventing the infiltration of moisture and grease), but these linear ethylene polymkeric substance can not be extruded or drawing-off under height is drawn speed, and they show the relatively poor processibility of extruding as everyone knows.
The limit of ethylene alpha-olefin interpolymers is extruded drawing speed (under other feasible extruding production line speed) and is limited by the generation of the melt-flow wild effect of a kind of being called " draw resonance ", rather than the melt tension fracture that is caused by " strain hardening " limits, " strain hardening " takes place under higher line speed, and typically at the high pressure ethylene polymer of LDPE and other high branching for example ethylene-acrylic acid (EAA) interpolymer and ethene-vinyl acetate base ester (EVA) interpolymer.
" draw resonance " or " the melt material gushes " can take place in the course of processing of LLDPE, ULDPE and other simple linear polymer such as high density polyethylene(HDPE) (HDPE), polypropylene and polyester, described processing comprises the quick stretching of melt or draws, and extrudes cast film, extrusion profile and fine denier fiber spinning as extrusion coating, manufacturing.Equally, the outbreak of draw resonance or appearance are also clearly.
US4,339, people's such as Kurtz patented technology and US4 in 507,486, in 377 in people's such as Lucchesi the patented technology, it is when final condition is fixed die head position and speed and fixed extraction location speed that draw resonance is said to be, and occurs in randomness and/or periodically sustained oscillation, change or the pulsation of polymer melt aspect speed and cross-sectional area of the melt draw-down operation between die head position and the extraction location.Draw resonance when surpassing the polymkeric substance certain limit, ratio of drawing (be the momentary velocity of the melt velocity of extraction location divided by die head exit place melt, this value often is similar to the inverse of the inverse of final polymer thickness divided by the instantaneous melt thickness in die head exit place) takes place.Draw resonance is a kind of melt-flow unstable, and the size that shows as final veneer, film or fiber is irregular, and often change very big thickness and width.During speed when line speed obviously surpasses draw resonance and takes place, can cause tablet or filament breakage and whole drawing-off or veneer operation are stopped work.
Can there be each species diversity and complexcase between known different extrusion equipment, recently represent relative anti-draw resonance through limit drawing-off commonly used, for common linear ethylene polymkeric substance, although most of industrial drawing-off manipulation requires greater than 20: 1 ratio of drawing, have found that the maximum stable ratio of drawing should be less than 10: 1.
" drawing-off " be meant along machine direction here and occasionally (side by side) with lesser extent also along cross directional stretch or the elongation molten polymer extrudate (tablet or long filament).
" melt strength " is also referred to as " melt tension " in relevant technical field, its implication and quantity here are meant more than the extrudate fusing point with specific speed drawing-off and melt extrude thing required stress or power (as being applied by the rolling cylinder that strain transducer is housed) when passing the die head that has standard plastometer (described the sort of as ASTM D1238-E).Melt strength values is used a li newton (cN) expression here, uses Gottfert Rheotens in 190 ℃ of mensuration.In general, for ethylene alpha-olefin interpolymers and high pressure ethylene polymer, melt strength can be along with the increase of molecular weight or widening and/or increasing along with the increase of melt-flow ratio along with molecular weight distribution.
" width of cloth contracts " influenced by the extrudate swollen, and is subjected to the influence of surface tension effects, its implication to be meant the extrudate width of die width and extraction location here on less degree or makes difference between the final width of goods.The amplitude that contracts that records (under extrusion capacity constant condition) should keep constant or reduces owing to drawing speed improves, and in general, natural ethylene polymers molecular weight reduce and/or molecular weight distribution when narrowing down its amplitude increase of contracting be well-known.Here the said amplitude that contracts be with the weight of 1 mil (0.025mm) individual layer extrusion coating, to use diameter be that 3.5 inches (8.9cm), L/D are that 30: 1 Black-Clawson extrusion coating machine is measured, this extrusion coating machine is equipped with die head and 50 pounds of (22.7kg) kraft paper of can be wide by 30 inches (76.2cm) amplitude modulation to 24 inch (61cm) and having the die gap of 20 mils (0.51mm).
" extraction location " is meant point of contact on the multi-roll device (or upper end or lower end) here, this multi-roll device will melt extrude thing from it in the instantaneous initial thickness drawing-off of die head exit or draw until its final thickness.This multi-roll device can be nip rolls, rubber rollers, chill roll, they combination or by the similar roller of for example metal or rubber and various surface (as polishing, delustring or embossing) formation; All these rollers are working of counter extensioin resonance to a certain extent all.
The trend of various possible terms of settlement with the contract width of cloth and/or the draw resonance that reduce ethylene alpha-olefin interpolymers is disclosed.The way that many these class terms of settlement are relevant devices and other relate generally to the way of the improvement in performance of ethylene alpha-olefin interpolymers, and this improvement is to realize by forming a kind of polymkeric substance that is mixed with the high pressure ethylene polymer (for example new LDPE (film grade)) of high branching.The US4 of Thompson, 348,346th, attempt with equipment reduce the to contract example of the width of cloth and draw resonance.Thompson has set forth polymer molten fluid has been become owner of die head along the edge biphasic injection of major ingredient laminar flow, thereby reduces to contract the width of cloth and improved edge beading control is provided.
People such as Cancio are at US4,668,463 and US4,626, a kind of terms of settlement that improves equipment that stops draw resonance to take place that is specifically designed to is provided in 574, this method locates to be provided with take off roll being no more than 6 inches (15.2cm) from die head, thereby little air gap/drawing-off gap and the draw resonance that reduces are provided.People such as Luchessi are at US4, disclose the method that makes liquid medium such as nitrogen, carbon monoxide or air flow to the fusion tablet before the drawing-off position in 486,377, with this as the feasible method that stops draw resonance.Similarly, people such as Kurtz are at US4, disclose draw resonance in 608,221 can alleviate by using a kind of stretching device, and this device has no friction surface in " the rapid cooling zone territory " between die head and extraction location.
On the contrary, as the improved example of miscellaneous equipment that alleviates or reduce draw resonance, Chaing is at US4, discloses the method for radiation heating fusion tablet before the chill roll extraction location in 859,379.
The example that shows the improved ethylene alpha-olefin interpolymers composition that reduces draw resonance comprises US4,378,451 (Edwards), this patent disclosure based on the high flow rate composition of the degraded propene polymer that is mixed with new LDPE (film grade).Analogous cases be people such as Werkman at US3, provide in 247,290, the high density polyethylene(HDPE) of thermal destruction (viscosity breaking) is mixed with new LDPE (film grade) to prepare the extrusion coating composition of high drawdown.Other example that comprises the ethylene alpha-olefin interpolymers mixture of new LDPE (film grade) is disclosed in US4 by people such as Kurtz, 339, in 507, combine with heterogeneous common LLDPE and improved velocity of flow is provided for the extrusion coating composition thereby wherein disclose high pressure LDPE with 20-98wt%.
Not by comprise the polymer degradation step and/or mix with the branching high pressure ethylene polymer and the example of composition that reduces draw resonance by people such as Dohrer at US4,780, open in 264, find that wherein melt flow unexpectedly allows fast extrusion coating line speed and extrudate flow casting line speed than the LLDPE less than 8.3 (promptly the molecular weight distribution that adopts is than general adopt also narrow).Yet can conclude that what these materials also showed higher the contract width of cloth and/or difference extrudes processibility (for example the extruding machine amperage is higher).
Although obtained various progress, when extruding the ethylene alpha-olefin interpolymers composition, especially under high extruding production line speed, still need avoid draw resonance problem and high-shrinkage width of cloth problem.For example, although US5,395, disclosed composition is compared the width of cloth that contracts that shows significantly improved line speed (drawing speed), high anti-draw resonance and reduce with common line style ethylene ' alpha '-olefin composition in 471, but this composition still shows the high width of cloth that contracts (for example extrusion coating weight is 1.0 mils (0.025mm) time 〉=7 inch (17.8cm)).In addition, when in the ethylene alpha-olefin polymer composition with common high pressure ethylene polymer as the mixed polymer composition when improving line speed, anti-draw resonance and contracting width of cloth performance, need suitable high density (greater than composition total weight 20%) high pressure ethylene polymer could realize this improvement as the mixed polymer composition.Yet the production unit of resin or the capacity of convertor are limited, and the only feeding equipment that for example can buy is a kind of feeder of little heavyweight, and this can make the demand to the high pressure ethylene polymer mixing element of higher concentration be suppressed.
As mentioned below, the present invention has satisfied basically to the demand of the ethene polymers extrusion compositions with high line speed, high anti-draw resonance and the significantly reduced width of cloth that contracts and to make the demand of this method for compositions with the lower volume feeding equipment.Composition of the present invention can use in conjunction with known equipment improvement, and preferably uses with degradable polymer, and can realize the present invention and known terms of settlement combine advantage or collaborative advantage.
Make the advantage of improved extrusion compositions except using wide feeding equipment of range of choice or mixing equipment, convertor or processing units also can be realized improved anti-misuse or barrier properties (owing to having used ethylene alpha-olefin interpolymers), high productivity (owing to can reach higher line speed) at present and subtract the advantage of thick (lower coating weight or thin film and section bar), also make high-quality even veneer, section bar and film simultaneously.For not improved ethylene alpha-olefin interpolymers, other advantage of the present invention is the remarkable high melt strength that the present composition has.In section bar was extruded processing as the electric wire and cable goods, the melt strength of this raising can provide improved product clarity, less molten hanging down and higher pyrogen beginning intensity.

As the example of a calculating, if extruding composition contains 90wt%'s Extrusion coating contracting amplitude is 7.5 ethylene alpha-olefin interpolymers and 10wt during 1 mil (0.026mm) Extrusion coating contracting amplitude is 1.75 inches (4.4cm) high pressure second during 1 mil (0.025mm) of % Alkene polymer, then the expectation contracting amplitude of this extruding composition is 6.9 inches (17.5cm), wherein 6.75 inch (16.9cm) is provided remaining 0.175 inch by ethylene alpha-olefin interpolymers (0.44cm) provided by high pressure ethylene polymer.
Term " high pressure ethylene polymer " or " the ethene polyethylene of high branching " here refer to pressing In thermal reactor or the tubular reactor, above at 14,500psi (100MPa), cause at free radical The polymer that part or all of homopolymerization or copolymerization form under the existence of agent.
In general sense, term " homogeneous ethylene polymer " and " homogeneously branched ethylene polymer pass Be tied to a kind of ethene polymers, the comonomer in this ethene polymers is in given polymer molecule Random distribution, and whole polymer molecules have identical ethene and the mole of comonomer basically Ratio. The feature of homogeneously branched ethylene polymer be short-chain branched profile exponent (SCBDI) greater than or etc. In 30%, be preferably greater than or equal 50%, more preferably greater than or equal 90%, and basically do not have Detectable high density (crystallization) polymer moieties. The definition of SCBDI is common content of monomer entirely 50% percetage by weight with interior polymer molecule of section's comonomer molar content intermediate value. For poly-Alkene, the existence of SCBDI and high density polymer composition can be by known intensification elution fractionation (TREF) method is measured, this method as by people such as wild at the polymer science magazine, the polymer thing A reason version Vol.20, p.441 disclosed in (1982), by L.D.Cady, " the work of comonomer type With with contribution to the LLDPE properties of product ", the technical conference of SPE region, Quaker Square Hilton, Akron, Ohio, 1-2 day in October, disclosed among the pp.107-119 (1985), or At US4, disclosed in 798,081.
Term " substantially linear ethylene polymers " comprises term " substantial linear alpha-olefine polymers ". The substantial linear alpha-olefine polymers contains long chain branches and causes by being incorporated into the homogeneous phase comonomer Short chain branch. The structure of long chain branches is identical with main polymer chain and than short chain branch head. Substantially The main polymer chain of linear alpha-olefins polymer is former with an average 0.01-3 long chain branches/1000 carbon The degree of son is substituted. The used essentially linear polymer of the present invention is preferably with 0.01-1 long chain branches / 1000 carbon atoms, more preferably got with the degree of 0.05-1 long chain branches/1000 carbon atom Generation.
Long chain branches definition in this article is that chain length is at least 6 carbon atoms, more than 6 carbon atoms Length can not be distinguished out with the 13C nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Long chain branches is approximately accompanying with it The length that the length of main polymer chain is identical.
Can measure depositing of long chain branches in the Alathon with 13C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrometry , (V.2﹠3, p.285-297) disclosed method can for polymer chemistry physical comment, C29 with Randall To determine its quantity.
In fact, present13The C nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometry can not be measured the above long chain branches of 6 carbon atoms Length. But it is poly-also to exist other to be used to measure the ethene that comprises ethene/1-octene copolymer body The known method of the existence of long chain branches in the compound. Gel permeation chromatography and little angle laser light scattering detect Device cooperates (GPC-LALLS) and gel permeation chromatography to cooperate with differential viscosity meter detector (GPC-DV) be two kinds of these class methods. Application and the base thereof of these methods on long chain branches detects The plinth theory has sufficient proof in the literature. For example see Zimm, G.H.and Stockmayer, W.H., The Chemical Physics magazine, 17,1301, (1949) and Rudin, A., the modernism of polymer characterization, John Wiley ﹠ Sons, New York (1991) pp.103-112.
The willem deGroot of Dow chemical company and P.Steve Chum were on October 4th, 1994 At St.Louis, carry in the analytical chemistry of Missouri and spectrum scietific federation (FACSS) meeting The digital proof GPC-DV that goes out is that a kind of existence to long chain branches in the substantial linear ethenyl copolymer is advanced The process useful that row is quantitative. Especially, deGroot and Chum find to use Zimm-Stockmayer side Amount and the usefulness of the long chain branches of the substantial linear ethylene homo matter sample that journey is measured13The long-chain that C NMR measures The amount of branch is very relevant.
In addition, deGroot and Chum find that the existence of octene can not change polyethylene specimen in the solution The hydrodynamics volume, therefore by the mole percent of octene in the known sample, can calculate by The molecular weight that octene short chain branch causes improves. In order to eliminate 1-octene short chain branch to the molecular weight liter High role, deGroot and Chum show GPC-DV can be used for to substantial linear ethene/ The amount of long chain branches is carried out quantitatively in the octene copolymer.
DeGroot and Chum give Log (I2Melt index (MI)) with the Log of GPC-DV definition The function relation curve of (GPC weight average molecular weight), the bright substantially linear ethylene polymers of this curve table Long chain branches situation (not being the size of long-chain branch) and high pressure, high branched low density polyethylene (LDPE) Be more or less the same, and with Ziegler-type catalyst (such as the titanium complex) and common homogeneous catalyst (as Hafnium complex and vanadium complex) the polyvinyl situation of producing has notable difference.
For ethylene alpha-olefin interpolymers, its long chain branches length is longer than by mixing α in the main polymer chain-alkene and the short chain branch that produces. In the used substantial linear ethylene alpha-olefin interpolymers of the present invention The experienced impact that has long chain branches and produce for example shows as, and rheological property improves and/or melt Mobile, I20/I 2Improve, this paper adopts the results expression stream of gas extrusion rheometry (GER) Sex change can and quantitative to it.
With term " substantially linear ethylene polymers " contrast, term " linear ethylene polymer " refers to This polymer does not have to measure or evincible long chain branches.
The molecular structure of high pressure ethylene polymer composition is for the contracting width of cloth, the melt strength of final composition It is critical improving with processing characteristics. Being used for high pressure ethylene polymer of the present invention has higher Melt strength, just at least 9cN, preferably at least 15cN, more preferably at least 20cN, optimum Select at least 25cN.

The density of the used high pressure ethylene polymer of the present invention is at least 0.916g/cc, preferred At least 0.917g/cc, more preferably 0.918g/cc at least. When with EVA (copolymer or three for example Membered copolymer such as ethene-vinyl acetate base ester-carbon monoxide (EVACO)) as mixed polymer During composition, the density of high pressure ethylene polymer composition will be higher.
The selected high pressure ethylene polymer composition that mixes with the ethylene alpha-olefin interpolymers composition can In hydrothermal reaction device or tubular reactor, to use at least a radical initiator poly-with conventional high pressure The method of closing is made. When using the hydrothermal reaction device, reaction zone can be single district or multi-region. Telogen as Propylene and iso-butane also can be used as chain-transferring agent. Preferably, use hydrothermal reaction device and do not add accent Aggressiveness and prepare high pressure ethylene polymer is because the tubular reactor method is difficult to produce the wide/bimodal molecular weight branch Cloth. Yet the hydrothermal reaction device is combined in the mode of serial or parallel connection with tubular reactor and also is suitable for making The present composition is because also can produce bimodal molecular weight distribution in this way.
Be applicable to that the radical initiator that makes vinyl polymerization under high reactor pressure is comprising of knowing (but being not limited to) peroxide and oxygen. The polyvinyl melt that uses high pressure polymerisation to make is strong It also is known that degree reaches maximum method, includes, but is not limited to make the reaction zone temperature difference to reach Greatly, inject multiple initator, prolong holdup time and raising at reactor and post-reactor The gas access temperature.

Substantially linear ethylene polymers significantly is different from and is commonly referred to as homogeneously branched linear ethylene/alpha-olefin One base polymer of copolymer, this base polymer for example is disclosed in US3 by Elston, in 645,992. It is poly-that substantially linear ethylene polymers also significantly is different from the linear ethylene that is commonly referred to as the polymerization of homogeneous phase Ziegler (for example ultra-low density polyethylene, linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) or high density polyethylene (HDPE), they adopt compound With such as people such as Anderson at US4, the people such as disclosed method and Dohrer use in 076,698 Be disclosed in US4, the method in 780,264 is made) a base polymer, and significantly be different from and be called High branching high pressure low density Alathon and ethenyl copolymer such as ethylene-acrylic acid that free radical causes (EAA) base polymer of copolymer and ethene-vinyl acetate base ester (EVA) copolymer.
Can with single-point (singlesite) polymerization catalyst (for example by Canich at US5,026,798 In disclosed or by Canich at US5, disclosed monocycle-pentadienyl transition metal alkene in 055,438 The polymerized hydrocarbon catalyst) or controlled how much (constrained geometry) catalyst (for example by The people such as Stevens are at US5, and are disclosed in 064,802) for the preparation of substantially linear ethylene polymers, only Want this catalyst to use and US5, disclosed method is assisted mutually in 272,236 and US5,278,272 Transfer. This polymerization also is disclosed in PCT/US92/08812 (proposition on October 15th, 1992) In. Yet, substantial linear ethenyl copolymer and homopolymers preferably use suitable controlled geometry catalyst, Especially U. S. application 545,403, on September 12nd, 1991 of proposing July 3 nineteen ninety propose 24,758,660 and 1991 on June proposing 12,758,654,1991 on September propose 720,041 in disclosed controlled geometry catalyst.
The co-catalyst that is applicable to the application includes, but is not limited to such as polymerization or oligomeric aikyiaiurnirsoxan beta, Particularly the MAO of MAO or modification (for example use US5,041,584, US4, disclosed method preparation in 544,762, US5,015,749 and/or US5,041,585) and Inertia, compatible non-coordination ion type compound. Preferred co-catalyst is the non-coordination boron of inertia Compound.
The polymerizing condition of making the used substantial linear ethylene copolymer composition of the present invention is preferably suitable In those conditions of continuous solution polymerization method, but the present invention is unqualified in this. As long as used Suitable catalyst and polymerizing condition also can adopt continuous slurry polymerization method and continuous gas-phase polymerization Method. In order to make the present invention used substantial linear EVA and copolymer polymerization, can use aforementioned list Site catalyst and controlled geometry catalyst, but for substantially linear ethylene polymers, these polymerizations Method should form substantially linear ethylene polymers. That is to say, even use same catalyst, Polymerizing condition that neither be all can both be made substantially linear ethylene polymers inherently.
For example, in the polymerization enforcement side of a suitable novel substantially linear ethylene polymers of preparation In the case, adopt continuous polymerization, be different from the batch polymerization method.
For substantially linear ethylene polymers, preferably carry out polymerization with the continuous solution polymerization method. Logical Often, in order to adopt controlled geometry catalyst technology as herein described to make substantially linear ethylene polymers And when making Mw/Mn keep lower, I10/I 2Along with temperature of reactor and/or ethylene concentration and become Change. The ethylene concentration that reduces and higher temperature produce higher I usually10/I 2 Generally, because reaction Ethylene concentration reduces in the device, and polymer concentration is raise. For novel substantial linear ethenyl copolymer and Homopolymers, the polymer concentration of continuous solution polymerization method are preferably about 5wt% of reactor capacity More than, especially be more than about 6wt% of reactor capacity. Usually, adopt controlled geometry catalyst The polymerization temperature of the continuity method of technology is 20-250 ℃. If need to have higher I10/I 2Than (I for example10/I 2Be about 7 or higher, preferably be at least about 8, especially be at least about 9) narrow molecular-weight Distribution polymer, then the ethylene concentration in the reactor preferably is no more than about 8wt% of reactor capacity, Especially be no more than about 6wt% of reactor capacity, more preferably no more than about 4wt of reactor capacity %.
The feature of the substantial linear ethylene copolymer composition that the present invention is used is:
(a) melt flows compares I10/I 2≥5.63,
(b) use the gel permeation chromatography molecular weight distribution mw/mn, and define in order to lower equation:
  (Mw/Mn)≤(I 10/I 2)-4.63,
(c) extrude rheology according to gas, substantially linear ethylene polymers surface melt fracture begins
The time the utmost point of limit shear rate when beginning than the melt fracture of linear ethylene polymer surfaces at least
The limit shear rate is high by 50%, wherein substantially linear ethylene polymers and linear ethylene polymer bag
Contain one or more same comonomers, the I of linear ethylene polymer2, Mw/Mn and close
Degree account for substantially linear ethylene polymers 10% in, and substantial linear vinyl polymerization wherein
The corresponding limit shearing rate of thing and linear ethylene polymkeric substance is to adopt under the same melt temperature
The gas squeezing rheometer is measured, and
(d) according to single dsc DSC, melting peak is between-30 and 150 ℃.
" high-density " part that the used substantial linear ethenyl copolymer of the present invention does not have available TREF technology to measure basically.The substantial linear ethenyl copolymer does not generally contain the polymer moieties that the degree of branching is less than or equal to 2 methyl/1000 carbon atoms." high density polymer part " also can be said to is the polymer moieties of the degree of branching less than about 2 methyl/1000 carbon atoms.Together with other benefit, do not contain high density polymer applying smoothness, impressionability, optical property are improved, and improved the flexibility and the elasticity of film/veneer.
With gas squeezing rheometer (GER) limit shearing rate of relevant melt fracture and ultimate shearing stress and other rheological property (PI) are measured as " rheology processing index ".The gas squeezing rheometer is by M.Shida, R.N.Shroff and L.V.Cancio are at polymer engineering science Vol.17, p.770, No.11 discloses at " rheometer that is used for molten plastic " (1982) pp.97-99 that is published by Van NostrandReinhold Co. in (1977) and by John Dealy.GER experiment is under the pressure of 190 ℃ temperature, nitrogen atmosphere, 250-5500 pound/in2, and adopting diameter 0.0754mm, L/D is that 20: 1, fluid inlet angle are that 180 ° die head carries out.For substantially linear ethylene polymers as herein described, PI is to be 2.15 * 10 with GER at apparent shearing stress 6Dyne/cm 2The time material apparent density (thousand pools) measured.The used substantially linear ethylene polymers of the present invention is that the PI scope is 0.01-50 thousand pools, preferred 15,000 pool or littler ethenyl copolymers.The PI of substantially linear ethylene polymers used herein be less than or equal to the linear ethylene polymkeric substance (common Ziegler polymeric polymkeric substance or by Elston at US3, the even branched polymers of disclosed line style in 645,992) PI 70%, the I of linear ethylene polymkeric substance 2, Mw/Mn and density all substantially linear ethylene polymers 10% in.
The rheological behaviour of substantially linear ethylene polymers also can be with Dow rheology index (DRI) expression, and " the stdn time of relaxation that is caused by long chain branches " of this exponential representation polymkeric substance (sees S.Lai and G.W.Knight ANTEC93 progress, INSITE TMStructure/the rheological of technology polyolefine (ITP)-ethylene concerns new regulation, New Orleans, and La., May1993).For the polymkeric substance that does not have any detectable long chain branches (for example, the Tafmer that can obtain from Mitsui petrochemical industry company TMProduct and the Exact that can obtain from Exxon chemical company TMProduct), the scope of its DRI value is from 0-about 15 and irrelevant with melt index.Usually, compare with the dependency of melt flow ratio with DRI, low pressure extremely middle pressure ethene polymers (especially more low-density) DRI provides dependency improved and melt elasticity and high-shear flowability.For the used substantially linear ethylene polymers of the present invention, DRI is preferably at least 0.1, is preferably at least 0.5 especially, most preferably is at least 0.8.DRI can be by following Equation for Calculating:
DRI=(3652879*τ 01.00649/η 0-1)/10
τ wherein 0Be the characteristic relaxation time of material, η 0It is the shear viscosity at zero point of material.τ 0And η 0All
Be " best fit " value of following intersection equation:
η/η 0=1/(1+(γ*τ 0) 1-n)
Wherein n is the power law index of material, and η and γ are respectively viscosity and the shearing rate that records.Sticking
The basic mensuration employing of degree and shearing rate data be 190 ℃ 0.1-100 radian per second
Rheology machinery spectrometer (RMS-800) and gas under the dynamic scan mode are extruded rheology
Instrument (GER), its extrusion pressure are 1,000psi-5, and 000psi (6.89-34.5MPa),
The shearing stress that is equivalent to 0.086-0.43MPa, using diameter 0.754mm, L/D is 20: 1
190 ℃ die head.Change the requirement that adapts, certain material in order to satisfy with melt index
Detection can carry out at 140-190 ℃.
The relation curve of apparent shearing stress and apparent shear rate is used for distinguishing the melt fracture phenomenon and gives polyvinyl limit shearing rate and the quantitative usefulness of ultimate shearing stress.According to Ramamurthy at the rheology magazine, 30 (2), 337-357, the elaboration in 1986, more than a certain limit velocity of flow, the viewed irregularity of extruding can generally reduce two kinds of main types: surperficial melt fracture and whole melt fracture.
The surface melt fracture is to take place under the stable from the teeth outwards flow condition, and scope loses specular gloss to forming very serious " shark skin spot " from film in detail.Here, according to measuring with above-mentioned GER, the feature that (OSMF) takes place surperficial melt fracture is that extrudate begins to tarnish, and at this moment the surfaceness of extrudate can only be measured by 40 times magnification.Limit shearing rate when the surperficial melt fracture of substantial linear ethenyl copolymer and homopolymer takes place is at least than having essentially identical I 2Limit shearing rate when taking place with the surperficial melt fracture of the linear ethylene polymkeric substance of Mw/Mn is high by 50%.
Whole melt fracture takes place under unsettled Extrusion Flow condition, and scope is to random distortion from rule distortion (coarse and smooth replace, volution etc.) in detail.With regard to the acceptable and maximum anti-misuse property of the industry of film, veneer and section bar, if there is surface imperfection, these surface imperfection should be very little.Be used for those of substantially linear ethylene polymers composition, especially density>0.910g/cc of the present invention, the ultimate shearing stress when whole melt fracture takes place is greater than 4 * 10 6Dyne/cm 2When (OSMF) takes place in surperficial melt fracture used herein and the limit shearing rate of whole melt fracture when (OGMF) takes place be the basis that is changed to of the surfaceness of the extrudate extruded with GER and profile.Preferably, in the present invention, the substantially linear ethylene polymers composition is characterised in that its limit shearing rate rather than its ultimate shearing stress.
The substantial linear alpha-olefinic polymer is similar to the homogeneously branched ethylene alpha-olefin polymer composition that other contains single polymers composition material, it is characterized in that single DSC melting peak.This list melting peak is to use by the differential scanning calorimeter of indium and deionized water calibration to measure.Measuring method comprises the sample scale of 5-7mg, and " for the first time heating " to about 140 ℃ and kept 4 minutes, is cooled to-30 ℃ and kept 3 minutes with 10 ℃/minute speed, is heated to 140 ℃ and carry out " heating for the second time " with 10 ℃/minute speed again.Obtain single melting peak from the heat flow of " heating for the second time " and the relation curve of temperature.Calculate whole fusion heats of polymkeric substance by area under a curve.
For density is the substantially linear ethylene polymers composition of 0.875-0.910g/cc, sensitivity according to equipment, single melting peak can demonstrate " acromion " or " summit " in low melt one side, and low melt one side constitutes less than 12%, the especially less than 9% of the whole fusion heats of polymkeric substance, less than 6% more especially.Other homogeneously branched polymkeric substance such as Exact TMResin also can be observed this phenomenon, and can identify according to the inclination angle of single melting peak monotone variation of the melt region that passes this phenomenon.This phenomenon is to occur in 34 ℃ the time at the fusing point of single melting peak, the typical case 27 ℃ with interior appearance, more typical at 20 ℃ with interior appearance.Can be based on the fusion heat of this phenomenon respectively with the ratio integration mensuration of heat flow with the relation curve relevant area down of temperature.
The molecular weight distribution of ethylene alpha-olefin interpolymers composition and high pressure ethylene polymer composition is equipped with on the Waters150 high temperature chromatogram arrangement that differential refractometer and three mix the porousness posts at one with gel permeation chromatography (GPC) to be measured.These posts are by Polymer Laboratories supply, and to have filled up pore dimension usually be 10 3, 10 4, 10 5With 10 6The hole of dust.Solvent is 1,2, and the 4-trichlorobenzene is made the sample solution of the 0.3wt% that injects usefulness by it.Velocity of flow is 1.0 ml/min, and the device working temperature is 140 ℃, and injection rate is 100 microlitres.
Infer the molecule measuring definite value of relevant main polymer chain together with its elution volume by the polystyrene standard sample that uses narrow molecular weight distributions.By use suitable polyethylene and polystyrene Mark-Houwink coefficient measure the equivalent molecular weight of polyethylene (as by williams and ward at the polymer science magazine, the polymkeric substance communication, Vol.6, P.621, disclosed in 1968), thus derive following equation:
M Polyethylene=a* (M Polystyrene) bIn this equation, a=0.4316, b=1.0.Be calculated as follows weight-average molecular weight with common method: Mw=∑ w i* M j, w wherein iAnd M jBe respectively the parts by weight and the molecular weight of the i composition that comes out from GPC post wash-out.
Known substantially linear ethylene polymers has excellent workability, although it has narrow relatively molecular weight distribution (be that the Mw/Mn ratio is generally less than 3.5, preferably less than 2.5, be more preferably less than 2).Unexpectedly, elaboration (US4 from Dohrer and Niemann, 780,264 and ANTEC progress 1989, " by improving the draw resonance that resinous type suppresses LLDPE ", the 28-30 page or leaf) with different homogeneous phase and heterogeneous branching linear ethylene polymkeric substance, the melt flow of substantially linear ethylene polymers is than (I 10/ I 2) variation irrelevant with molecular weight distribution mw/mn basically.So the preferred ethylene alpha-olefin interpolymers of preparation extrusion compositions of the present invention is a substantially linear ethylene polymers.
