Abstract

Foams prepared from a blend of a syndiotactic polypropylene (sPP) resin and a foamable thermoplastic polymer resin are provided which exhibit a combination of desirable properties which have heretofore been difficult, if not impossible, to achieve. The foams of the present invention are useful in applications such as thermal insulation, packaging, and the formation of molded articles such as cups, and trays.

Description

Porous plastics by the preparation of the blend of syndiotactic polypropylene and thermoplastic polymer
The present invention relates generally to porous plastics, relate more specifically to porous plastics by syndiotactic polypropylene and foamable thermoplastic polymer resin's blend preparation.
Porous plastics is used for various uses, comprises that thermal isolation, packing reach the formation such as moulded partss such as cup and plates.According to the end-use of porous plastics, the expectation porous plastics represents the combination of specific character or character.For example, when as insulating material or amortizing packaging material, it is quite expectation that porous plastics expand into low density.
In addition, the porous plastics with high texturing temperature is desired for several applications, comprises the insulation in the hot environment.Wait the special use of insulation foam according to this and decide, it also expects these porous plastics except that having high texturing temperature also is flexible.Degree of flexibility and thermal distortion demand are decided according to the end-use of insulation foam.For example, in the use of some automobile or when being used for the insulation of hot-water line, need have and be higher than 90 ℃ or in the flexible foam of some situation greater than 110 ℃-120 ℃ heat-drawn wire.In addition, for meeting underwriter laboratory test UL1191 appendix A, as the porous plastics of filler in the individual floatation device except that needs very soft and tool flexible, also need to resist for a long time 60 ℃ temperature.
But it is difficult to reach flexible (that is low elastic modulus) and the character of high heat-drawn wire in the same foam plastics.Typically, the heat-drawn wire of flexible (that is the Young's modulus) of given resin and resin is all directly related with the fusing point of resin.In other words, (that is, high flexible) resin needs resin to have lower fusing point usually, and the resin with high texturing temperature needs resin to have high melt point usually to have low elastic modulus.In addition, even find the character of flexible and high heat-drawn wire in identical resin or resin blend, resin or resin blend also may not foam, and maybe can not foam by the method that makes things convenient for such as extrusion method.Branched polyolefin resin by the preparation of high-pressure free radical method can become flexible foam by extrusion foaming, but porous plastics is used the shortage temperature tolerance for some.The example of branched polyolefin resin comprises that having density range is 0.915g/cm 3To 0.932g/cm 3The low density polyethylene homopolymer resin, and the multipolymer of ethene and vinyl ester (such as vinyl-acetic ester and methyl acrylate).By catalysis process (for example, use Ziegler-Natta type or metallocene catalyst) the line type polyolefin homopolymer resin of preparation (such as, high density polyethylene(HDPE) and isotatic polypropylene (iPP) resin) has higher heat-drawn wire, but be difficult to foam by extrusion method.In addition, the porous plastics that waits the toughness homopolymer resin to make thus lacks flexible.The less linear copolymers resin of toughness can make by catalysis process, but this resin experience same shortage as homopolymer is expandable.The use temperature of polyolefin resin foam plastics can be by crosslinked increase.For example, can under the temperature that is higher than uncrosslinked porous plastics, use, but use temperature (it is lower than 100 ℃) is not high enough for some application from the crosslinked plastic foam that ldpe resin makes.In addition, the high and recovery that can not circulate of the preparation cost of crosslinked plastic foam.
From the high melting-point polyolefins resin (for example, high density polyethylene(HDPE) and iPP) porous plastics that makes with the blend of new LDPE (film grade) (LDPE) is difficult to expand into low-density foam by extrusion method, the freezing transfer of the resin with high melting point that depends on the foaminess difference because porous plastics expands.When being applied to cross-linking method, this blend causes another kind of difficulty.In the method, foamable composition is extruded into sheet material in low temperature, and wherein whipping agent and linking agent keep not being activated basically.Usually, the required processing temperature of dystectic line type polyolefin surpasses the ultimate temperature of whipping agent and linking agent, and may make its activation prematurely.
But, decide according to specific end-use, be not to expect that all insulation foam is a flexible.Rigid foamed plastics with high texturing temperature is also for desired.The rigid insulation porous plastics is generally made by alkyl aromatic polymkeric substance (such as, polystyrene), and it is because the consideration of environment, increases with carbonic acid gas and expands.But, represent little abscess-size with carbon dioxide expanded low-density foam (such as, polystyrene).
But, can be easy to be shaped and be easy to preparation by extrusion method easily for making rigid foamed plastics, need make porous plastics have the abscess-size of expansion.Porous plastics with small cells size not only is difficult to be extruded into the large section, and also is difficult to processing (for example, sheet or be cut into final shape).For making it be easy to preparation, expectation makes porous plastics have abscess-size greater than 0.4mm.
Existing many effort are in order to prepare the alkyl aromatic porous plastics (referring to for example United States Patent (USP) 4,229,396 and 5,489,407) of the abscess-size with expansion by adding the various additives that are used to enlarge abscess-size.But typical abscess enlarges the heat-drawn wire that additive is difficult to add in the forcing machine and is easy to influence foam article.
Except that insulation foam with high texturing temperature (it is 1) flexible or 2) rigidity and have the abscess-size of expansion), being higher than the flexible foam that 0 ℃ thermoplastic polymer makes by Tg is to need noise and shock damping and desired in order to the end-use of damping packing.When being used for damping packing or shock damping, flexible foam is protected goods by the impact and the vibration energy that absorb in its foam structure.This energy is absorbed in gas phase and the polymer phase.Porous plastics with cell wall of the heat of irreversibly mechanical energy being dispersed into is desired.Fluoropolymer resin the second-order transition temperature (Tg) of resin can disperse most effectively down mechanical energy (referring to for example polymer property, the third edition, the 14th chapter, " acoustic properties ", D.w.VanKrevelen, Elsevier, Amserdam-London, New York-Tokyo, 1990).Most of conventional polyolefins resin (such as, polyethylene and polypropylene) be flexible, but have lower Tg, that is, be lower than 0 ℃, thereby, can not be used for the end-use of damping packing or shock damping.
Therefore, still there is following demand in this area: the flexible foam that 1) has high texturing temperature; 2) have the high rigidity alkyl aromatic porous plastics that is out of shape the abscess-size of heat and expansion, it is easy to preparation, and distortion heat is stable therebetween; And 3) be higher than the flexible thermoplastic porous plastics that 0 ℃ thermoplastic polymer makes from Tg.
Can satisfy these needs by the present invention.Therefore, the invention provides the prepared polymer foam of blend by syndiotactic polypropylene (sPP) resin and foamable thermoplastic polymer resin.

Fig. 1 describes the differential scanning calorimetric thermogram after foundation porous plastics of the present invention is extruded.
Fig. 2 is the differential scanning calorimetric thermogram that is described in 120 ℃ of aging foundation porous plastics of the present invention after 5 days.
The invention provides porous plastics by sPP resin and thermoplastic polymer resin's blend preparation.Polymer blend porous plastics of the present invention represents the combination of required character, and it was reached in being difficult to (if not can not time) in the past.
For example, first embodiment of the present invention provides the polymer foam by the blend preparation of sPP resin and flexible thermoplastic fluoropolymer resin, and it is a flexible, and has high texturing temperature., use and the insulation of hot-water line as the insulation foam in the hot environment that needs flexible foam according to the polymer blend porous plastics of first embodiment of the invention such as some automobile.The dimensional stability of the flexible insulation foam of first embodiment of the invention only is better than from the porous plastics of flexible thermoplastic fluoropolymer resin preparation.As previously mentioned, the flexible foam with high heat distortion temperature prepares as the expandable thermoplastic polymer resin in the blend by using the flexible thermoplastic fluoropolymer resin.Though do not desire to be subject to any particular theory, believe that the interpolation of sPP resin makes the blend foam plastics have high heat-drawn wire, and cause the porous plastics expansible that comes from the slow crystallization rate of resin seldom to disturb.The slow crystallization rate of sPP (represent injection molding long cycling time problem) is advantageously used in the preparation of porous plastics of the present invention.Because crystallization rate slowly, sPP resin can crystallizations under the blowing temperature of flexible thermoplastic fluoropolymer resin, but at ambient temperature or the porous plastics for preparing first embodiment of the invention by blend and stable after the heating period second time between crystallization.In case crystallization, sPP resin component provides the porous plastics of the blend with high deformation heat, and this is because crystalline high-melting-point (that is, 130 ℃).This phenomenon confirms by the dsc of Figure 1 and Figure 2.Fig. 1 describe according to of the present invention by 50/50 weight the LDPE resin and the differential scanning calorimetric thermogram of the porous plastics of the resin extruded preparation of sPP, it is shown in about 113 ℃ of heat absorptions, and does not have heat absorption when about 130 ℃ (sPP crystalline fusing point).The porous plastics that Fig. 2 describes Fig. 1 is in about 120 ℃ of differential scanning calorimetric thermograms after aging 5 days, and it is shown in about 113 ℃ of heat absorptions, and heat absorption when about 130 ℃ (sPP crystalline fusing point).Differential scanning calorimetric thermogram confirmation LDPE resin and sPP resin illustrated in figures 1 and 2 are immiscible mixed, and the sPP resin in the blend carries out crystallization between about 120 ℃ heating period.
In addition, the sPP resin component of blend is not crystallization fully between the aging time of porous plastics at ambient temperature, but pines for observing further crystallization in adding subsequently.Secondary crystal can be advantageously used in the thermoforming of foam article, because amorphous sPP molecule meets the distortion of plastic foam sheet material and shape, but further crystallization during thermoforming, thereby helps the curing of articles thermoformed therefrom.Interpolation sPP resin also promotes the dimensional stability of flexible foam.For example, find by sPP resin and the blend preparation of LDPE resin and with Trimethylmethane expansible porous plastics of the present invention than having more dimensional stability with Trimethylmethane expansible LDPE resin foam plastics.The dimensional stability of this increase is beat all, at least reported a kind of sPP resin and had low-crystallinity (about 30%) [referring to Wheat, w.R. the rheology of the syndiotactic polypropylene character " explain " ANTEC 95 Preprint] and to the higher perviousness [referring to Schardl, " syndiotactic polypropylene Overview Clear Impact polymkeric substance " ANTEC 95 Preprint of people such as J.] of gas and steam.
In addition, the insulating polymer porous plastics according to first embodiment of the invention also is suitable as damping packing or noise and shock damping product.The sPP resin has 4-6 ℃ Tg, thereby makes mechanical energy be dispersed into heat effectively.But independent sPP resin is difficult for foaming by extrusion method.By contrast, not only can foam according to the sPP resin of first embodiment of the invention and the blend of flexible thermoplastic fluoropolymer resin, and formed porous plastics also has the character of indivedual components resin.Therefore, the porous plastics that expection is made by this immiscible blend polymer has different Tg, thereby, expect that this porous plastics helps the noise and the shock damping of the frequency and the temperature of wide region.
Second embodiment of the invention provides the polymer foam by the blend preparation of sPP resin and rigid thermoplastic polymer resin, and it is an inflexible, has high texturing temperature, and has the abscess-size of expansion.Therefore, the polymer blend porous plastics of second embodiment of the invention is suitable for as the insulation foam in the application that needs the processing porous plastics.The sPP resin additive that is used to enlarge the abscess-size of rigid thermoplastic polymer porous plastics is easy to add in the forcing machine, and can not influence the heat-drawn wire of porous plastics.Do not know acrylic resin and at least a rigid thermoplastic polymer resin (such as, polystyrene) compatible (referring to for example United States Patent (USP) 4,386,187, embodiment 18 and 22, and United States Patent (USP) 5,460,818, embodiment 3), and the foaming and intumescing of incompatible polymers blend generally is difficult (referring to for example United States Patent (USP) 4 when not having compatible additive, 020,025), adding the sPP resin in polystyrene resin can not disturb, but help the expansion of polystyrene resin, this fact is unexpected.
