Definitions

  • the present invention relates to polymer sheet materials made from oriented olefin polymer fibres or tapes, and in particular an improved process for making such materials.
  • the fibres may have been subjected to a prior crosslinking process, preferably an irradiation crosslinking process comprising irradiating the fibres with an ionising radiation in an inert environment containing alkyne or diene compounds, and then an annealing step comprising annealing the irradiated polymer at an elevated temperature, in an inert environment containing alkyne or diene compounds.
  • a prior crosslinking process preferably an irradiation crosslinking process comprising irradiating the fibres with an ionising radiation in an inert environment containing alkyne or diene compounds, and then an annealing step comprising annealing the irradiated polymer at an elevated temperature, in an inert environment containing alkyne or diene compounds.
  • the hot compacted materials are preferably cooled to ambient temperature under controlled conditions. Rapid cooling is less preferred. The most convenient technique is to allow the compacts to stand in the air until they have cooled to ambient temperature.”
  • the examples of GB 2253420A do not mention cooling rate.
  • the present invention provides a process for production of a monolithic article from a web of fibres of oriented polypropylene homopolymer or copolymer having a weight average molecular weight (M w ) of at least 250,000, the process comprising the steps of subjecting the web to elevated temperature and pressure sufficient to melt a proportion of the polymer and compact it, thereby yielding an oriented phase and a matrix phase, and effecting a heat treatment selected from
  • the fibres can be made by any suitable process, for example solution or gel or melt forming, preferably by melt forming.
  • fibres of oriented polypropylene homopolymer or copolymer is used herein to mean all elongate elements which comprise polypropylene. They may be in the form of strands or filaments. They may be in the form of bands, ribbons or tapes, formed for example by initially slitting melt formed films. Whatever their form the fibres may be laid in a non-woven web for the process of the invention. Alternatively they may be formed into yarns comprising multiple fibres, or used in the form of a monofilament yarn. The fibres are usually formed into a fabric by weaving or knitting. Optionally the fibres may have been subjected to a crosslinking process, as described in WO 98/15397.
  • Woven fabrics may comprise only fibres in the form of strands or filaments, or they may comprise a mixture of fibres in the form of strands or filaments and fibres in the form of tapes. Most preferred are fabrics which are woven from flat tapes, as these have the best mechanical properties.
  • a retarded rate of cooling in this specification means cooling under conditions such that heat is lost from the compacted web more slowly than if it were cooled from the elevated temperature to said lower temperature under ambient conditions, that is, in still air at ambient temperature, typically 20° C.
  • the retarded cooling step (i) preferably takes place immediately after compaction. More preferably, it takes place immediately after compaction without the compacted web having been removed from the compaction apparatus.
  • the mean cooling rate from the compaction temperature down to said lower temperature is suitably not greater than 10° C./min, preferably not greater than 5° C./min, more preferably not greater than 3° C./min and, especially, not greater than 2° C./min. Whilst the preceding definitions are of mean cooling rate, preferably the cooling rate is retarded for the entire cooling regime, down to said lower temperature.
  • said lower temperature is below the temperature at which the recrystallisation of the matrix is complete.
  • it is up to 5° C. lower.
  • it is up to 10° C. lower.
  • said lower temperature is in the range 100-110° C. Most preferably the lower temperature is 100° C.
  • annealing takes place within 15° C. of the temperature at which the matrix phase is completely melted, more preferably within 10° C. of this temperature, still more preferably within 5° C. of this temperature, and most preferably within 3° C. of this temperature.
  • the annealing temperature is below the temperature at which the matrix phase is completely melted.
  • an annealing temperature which is within 3° C. of the temperature at which the matrix phase is completely melted, but below that temperature. Such an annealing temperature has been found to give excellent results.
  • a heat treatment step (ii) is effected for at least 1 minute, preferably for at least 2 minutes, more preferably for at least 3 minutes, and most preferably for at least 5 minutes.
  • a heat treatment step (ii) may be effected immediately after compaction.
  • One embodiment of the present invention employs only a retarded cooling step (i).
  • the retarded cooling is suitably carried out immediately after compaction, without the compacted web having been cooled first.
  • the temperature of the compacted web is allowed to fall from the compaction temperature to the lower temperature.
  • One embodiment of the present invention employs only an annealing step (ii).
  • both a retarded cooling step (i) and an annealing step (ii) are employed.
  • an annealing step (ii) may be followed directly by a retarded cooling step (i), with the starting point of the retarded cooling step being the annealing temperature rather than a compaction temperature, and with the annealing temperature and said lower temperature providing the temperature end points across which the mean cooling rate may be determined.
  • compaction is followed by a retarded cooling step (i), followed by later reheating to effect an annealing step (ii).
  • the hot compaction process of the invention uses a compaction pressure not exceeding 10 MPa. It is also preferred that a single pressure is used throughout the hot compaction process. Most preferred pressures are between 1 and 7 MPa, particularly between 2 and 5 MPa. It is preferred that the hot compaction pressure is maintained during cooling.
  • the minimum temperature at which the fibres should be contacted is preferably that at which the leading edge of the endotherm, measured by Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), of the constrained polymer fibres extrapolated to zero intersects the temperature axis.
  • DSC Differential Scanning Calorimetry
  • the temperature at which the fibres are compacted is no greater than the constrained peak temperature of melting at the ambient compaction pressure—i.e. the temperature at which the endotherm reaches it highest point.
  • the proportion of the fibres which is melted during the hot compaction process is generally between 10 and 50 percent by weight.
  • the fibres used in the present invention have a weight average molecular weight (M w ) in the range 250,000 to 450,000, most preferably 330,000 to 400,000, as determined by the method hereinafter described.
  • the polymer is preferably a polypropylene homopolymer, but may be a copolymer comprising polypropylene. Generally any copolymer containing polypropylene such as those disclosed in WO 98/15397 may be used.
  • the fibres have not been subjected to a prior crosslinking process, for example of the type described in WO 98/15397.
  • Compaction of the polypropylene may be carried out in an autoclave, or in a belt press or other apparatus in which the assembly is fed through a compaction zone where it is subjected to the required elevated temperature and pressure.
  • the process may be operated as a continuous or semi-continuous process. Cooling is preferably effected whilst the compacted web is restrained against dimensional change, for example by being held under tension, which may be applied uniaxially or biaxially, or by being still under a compaction pressure. The restraint may assist the maintenance of good properties in the oriented phase.
  • the monolithic article may be regarded as a polypropylene composite made up of a polypropylene matrix phase which was produced during the process, and a polypropylene fibre phase, a proportion of which may show selective surface melting, arising from the process.
  • the properties of each are of significance in achieving a monolithic article of the required properties, and they may be defined, and studied, separately.
  • the Young's modulus of the matrix phase is at least 0.9 GPa, more preferably at least 1.2 GPa, more preferably 1.5 GPa, and most preferably at least 1.7 GPa.
  • the failure strength of the matrix phase is at least 20 MPa, more preferably at least 25 MPa.
  • the failure strain of the matrix phase is at least 5%.
  • the Young's modulus in the longitudinal direction (which may alternatively be called the draw or axial direction) of the fibre phase is at least 4 GPa, more preferably at least 6 GPa.
  • the failure strength in the longitudinal direction of the fibre phase is at least 250 MPa, more preferably at least 350 MPa, and most preferably at least 400 MPa.
  • the failure strain in the longitudinal direction of the fibre phase is at least 5%, more preferably at least 8%, and most preferably at least 12%.
  • the effect of cooling rate was established by examining the cooling of a completely melted fabric, to simulate the melted matrix phase in a hot compacted sheet. It has been found that the properties of a hot compacted sheet are a combination of the properties of the original oriented fibres (the reinforcing phase), and the portion of the fibres which are melted (the matrix phase). Therefore by examining the properties of a melted fabric which has been cooled at different rates, it is possible to simulate the effect of cooling a hot compaction sheet at different rates.
  • the fabrics used were made from a number of different melt-formed polypropylene homopolymers detailed in Table 1 below.
  • the reinforcement type indicates the type of fibre from which the fabric is woven.
  • M w and M n were measured by Rapra Technology Limited, of Shropshire, UK. Details of the testing are as follows:
  • the stress/strain behaviour of the above cooled films was measured using an RDP Howden servo-mechanical tensile testing machine.
  • the tensile tests on the compacted sheets and the melted films were carried out following ASTM D638 using a dumbbell shaped specimen.
  • a normal strain rate of 10 ⁇ 3 s ⁇ 1 was used for all the tests.
  • the sample strain during the tests was measured using a Messphysik video extensometer. Five samples were tested for each material at a temperature of 20 ⁇ 2° C. and a relative humidity of 35 ⁇ 5%.
  • Typical stress-strain curves are shown in FIG. 1 , for each of the four polymer tests.
  • the results show that for all four polymers, the quenched samples were ductile and drew in a stable manner with the formation of a stable neck region. Strain for these samples was measured from the crosshead speed, rather than directly on the sample, for if the neck formed outside the measured region, the strain in the measurement region actually decreased. However their Young's modulus and yield stress values were relatively low. The fast cooled and the quenched traces have been displaced a small way along the x-axis simply in order to display each trace clearly.
  • Tables 2 and 3 show the density and Young's modulus of the various melted films. Both of these properties can be used as a measure of the crystallinity of the films, as one can attribute increases in either parameter with an increase in crystallinity. As the cooling rate is increased, the density of Young's modulus for each polymer type decreases, suggesting the expected decrease in crystallinity (and associated improvement in ductility).
  • Example Set A the cooling rate of the hot compaction process is a key process parameter, because it has a significant effect on the mechanical properties of the matrix phase, probably due to changes in crystallinity.
  • the above results show that slow cooling may lead to good Young's modulus and failure strain properties, but compromised ductility; but that for polymers of higher M w a useful level of ductility may be achieved, especially for uses in which stiffness and failure strain are of primary importance.
  • slow cooled samples appear to show higher stiffness values than fast cooled samples, but may be brittle if the polypropylene is of low molecular weight. However, samples may show reasonable ductility if the polypropylene is of higher molecular weight.
  • Example Set A partially melted monolithic articles were prepared.
  • Polymer 4 of Example Set A was used, with 4 layers of woven cloth in the compaction assembly. Compaction conditions of 5 minutes at 193° C. and a compaction pressure of 4.8 GPa were employed. Slow cooling (20-30° C./min) or fast cooling (1-2° C./min) was effected as described in Example Set A.
  • FIG. 2 shows the temperature/time plots for the two samples. It will be seen that the fast cooled sample undergoes very rapid cooling to 150° C. The slow cooled sample takes about 25 minutes to drop from 193° C. to 150° C., and about 80 minutes to drop from 193° C. to 100° C.
  • the measured peel strengths were all quite high, with the slow cooled value holding up well in comparison to the fast cooled value.
  • the first annealing experiments were carried out on the fully melted Polymer 4, to make an article with, in effect, 100% matrix material, as this is the phase that is most likely to be affected, and any effects should be easy to interpret.
  • the annealing regimes studied were 150° C. for five minutes and 160° C. for 5 minutes.
  • woven layers of Polymer 4 were used for the manufacture of partially melted hot compacted articles having an oriented fibre phase and a matrix phase.
  • the conditions were 193° C. for 5 minutes, at a compaction pressure of 4.2 MPa. Annealing was as described in Example Set D.
  • Example Set D DTMA temperature scan testing as described in Example Set D was carried out. The results are shown in FIG. 5 .
  • the trace marked “original” refers to a sample cooled at 20-30° C./min after compaction.
  • stiffness as a function of the temperature at which the tests were carried out is an indication of expected creep or high temperature performance. It is likely to depend on the matrix phase, between the oriented phase. It will be seen that there is an improvement in the performance in the annealed sample at temperatures above 40° C., relative to the fast cooled sample.
