Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of matrix material of forming by layered silicates such as polymeric amide and polynites and preparation method thereof, specifically, the present invention relates to a kind of polyamide/montmorillonite composite material that adopts the rare-earth modifier modification and preparation method thereof.
Background technology
Nylon is a kind of widely used engineering plastics, has excellent physical and mechanical properties.But since the effect of acid amides polar group, the water-intake rate height of nylon, and heat-drawn wire is low, has limited its application.Adopt the Inorganic Fillers Filled modification of nylon, for example, add lime carbonate or clay mineral mica etc., can improve dimensional stability and improve rigidity, and reduce cost, but also cause the particularly decline of impelling strength of the strength of materials.Adopting the filling-modified polymer materials of ultra-fine inorganic thing is one of approach that improves performance.When packing material size during less than 0.1 μ m, ultrafine particle adopts traditional blend method because of its great surface energy makes that interparticle self aggregation effect is very big, is difficult to prevent the autohemagglutination effect and makes filler obtain homodisperse on the nanometer level.For improving the bonding interface of filler and polymkeric substance, common employing silane coupling agent or titanate coupling agent or other have the interfacial compatibilizers such as organic polymer grafts to the similar group of matrix macromolecular chain, to improve the interfacial tension between filler and polymeric matrix, homodisperse of realizing ideal and bonding interface.But above-mentioned filling-modified matrix material only belongs to the microcosmic matrix material, has influenced the improvement of reinforcing effect and resistance toheat.Have only when between mineral filler and polymeric matrix strong interaction is arranged, and reach the dispersion of nanoscale, just rigidity, dimensional stability and the thermotolerance of inorganics and toughness, the workability of polymkeric substance ideally may be combined the Organic of obtained performance excellence.
Polynite is a kind of nonmetal stratiform silicate minerals.Its unit cell is formed by carrying the layer of aluminum oxygen octahedra secretly in the middle of the two-layer silicon-oxy tetrahedron, connects by shared Sauerstoffatom between the two.The montmorillonite layer internal surface has negative charge, interlayer cation Na
+, Ca
2+, Mg
2+Deng being the interchangeability positively charged ion, after cationic exchange, can make macromole be inserted into interlayer.
Preparation polymeric amide/inorganics nano composite material adopts monomer intercalation polymeric method usually, makes monomer of polyamide such as hexanolactam carry out polymerization and form matrix material at the interlayer of layered silicate.But because silicate granules interlamellar spacing 1 nanometer scale only, monomer is difficult to infiltrate its interlayer, and the matrix material after the polymerization does not reach the ideal reinforced effects equally.United States Patent (USP) 4,739,007 discloses the method for preparing nanometer composite polyamide-clay material by intercalation polymeric.Above-mentioned patent can be called two step method, and its implementation process is: at first clay is carried out the processing of intercalation expansionization, its interlamellar spacing is enlarged.Polymerization single polymerization monomer and swelling clay mix and infiltrate its interlayer then.In the time of monomer polymerization, the clay laminate dissociates and disintegration becomes the nanometer fineness, is dispersed in the polymer, realizes the nano combined of polyamide-clay.But, this technology has two shortcomings, and the one, the expansion treating processes of clay need increase equipment, expends a large amount of time and energy and is used for drying and fragmentation, causes production cost to rise, and production efficiency descends; Another shortcoming is that the clay after handling mixes with monomer of polyamide, causes the difficulty of melt polycondensation operation.Chinese patent ZL 96105362.3 discloses the one-step polymerization process that a kind of preparation has the nanometer composite polyamide-clay material of excellent mechanical property, this in-situ polymerization intercalated technology is monomer to be inserted between accurate two-dimentional silicate clay material layer carry out in-situ polymerization, obtains high molecular polymer/clay composite material.Wherein the silicate component provides excellent mechanics and thermostability, and organic polymer has guaranteed good workability.
Above-mentioned patent preparation process is after the intercalation expansion process with clay, to carry out polymerization with polymerization single polymerization monomer again.Its shortcoming is that intercalation polymeric process need large quantity of moisture dispersion media will be done corresponding improvement to production unit with monomer and intercalation soil homodisperse before polymerization, mainly be applicable to the production in enormous quantities of fixing prescription, was unsuitable for the production of many kinds, short run.
Chinese patent 97112237.7 discloses a kind of nanometer composite polyamide-clay material and preparation method thereof, it will be extruded through clay and polymeric amide melt blending on twin screw extruder of intercalation processing, power chemical action by restricted clearance makes clay combine with polyamide substrate and with the nanoscale homodisperse, thereby is prepared into the high-performance nano matrix material.The technological process of this invention is simple, without solvent, does not need aftertreatment, has reduced cost, can reach the effect of intercalation polymeric.
In the prior art, the dispersion of montmorillonite particle in polyamide/montmorillonite composite material is still not ideal enough, be difficult to reach nano level dispersion, also be that existing matrix material is difficult to become nano material, and preparation method's complexity, in general, in order to reach better particles dispersed, polynite will be passed through intercalation processing.This has greatly increased production cost concerning industrial production.
Summary of the invention
The invention provides a kind of novel polyamide/montmorillonite layered silicate matrix material, contain the rare-earth modifier that the polynite of being adopted is carried out modification in this matrix material, the polynite of being adopted then is the original montmorillonoid soil of cationic exchange total volume (CEC) between 50-200meq/100g or the montmorillonite intercalation soil of crossing through intercalation processing, and preferred CEC is 70-160meq/100g.As CEC during greater than 200meq/100g, higher interlayer Coulomb's force makes polynite be difficult for being dispersed in the polymeric matrix; And when CEC was lower than 50meq/100g, polynite can not be compatible with polymeric matrix effectively, is difficult for being dispersed in the polymeric matrix.
In the present invention, adopt a kind of novel rare-earth modifier, used this rare-earth modifier can prepare polyamide/montmorillonite layered silicate matrix material simplely.This rare-earth modifier is a kind of rare earth organometallic compound or mixture, be mineral compound or its mixture by one or more lanthanon, saturated and/or undersaturated organic acid and/or the formed compound of organic acid derivatives, title complex and/or with one or more from aggressiveness.Wherein, said rare earth element can be a kind of in the lanthanon, two kinds and two or more mixtures, preferably light rare earthss such as lanthanum, cerium, praseodymium, neodymium, yttrium and composition thereof; Described organic acid and/or organic acid derivatives are C
