- an important benefit of the instant invention is the orientation of the plane of the layers of silicate material.
- the orientation is parallel to the cell wall with, for example, about seventy percent of the layers being within thirty degrees of parallel with the cell wall.
- the orientation is parallel to major surface of the film, sheet or tube.
- the orientation is parallel to fiber bundle.
- the orientation is parallel to the reinforcing fibers.
- the layers of silicate material are partially oriented by the initial extrusion process prior to foaming and further oriented parallel to the cell wall during foaming.
- the alignment is parallel to the plane of the part being molded.
- Another important benefit of the instant invention is that its articles can be relatively large (more than one kilogram) in comparison with articles made according to the prior art.
- the amount of multi-layered silicate material used in the instant invention is preferably between one and twenty weight percent.
- multi-layered silicate material is well known in the nanocomposite art and includes phyllosilicate clays and layered silicates. Illustrative of such materials are smectite clay minerals such as montmorillonite, nontronite, beidellite, hectorite, saponite, sauconite, and vermiculite clay minerals. This term also includes illite minerals such as ledikite and layered silicates such as magadiite and kenyaite.
- Preferred multi-layered silicate materials are phyllosilicates of the 2:1 type having a negative charge on the layers ranging from 0.25 to 1.5 charges per formula unit and a commensurate number of exchangeable cations in the interlayer spaces.
- smectite clay minerals such as montmorillonite, nontronite, beidellite, hectorite, saponite, sauconite, and the layered silicates magadiite, and kenyaite.
- the technique used to disperse or "exfoliate" a multi-layered silicate material into a polymer is not critical in the instant invention as long as the volume percent of the one, two, three, four and five layers of silicate material so dispersed or "exfoliated” are greater than the volume percent of the more than five layers of silicate material so dispersed or "exfoliated".
- such dispersion can be accomplished by polymerizing one or more monomers with a treated multi-layered silicate material as described in United States Patent 5,973,053, herein fully incorporated by reference or, for example, by melt blending a treated multi- layered silicate material with a polymer as described in United States Patent 5,385,776, herein fully incorporated by reference.
- the volume percent of single, double, three, four five and more than five layers of silicate material is determined herein by electron microscopic examination of a representative sample wherein each layer by definition herein has the same volume.
- an increase in the melt strength of the polymer is desirable for thinner cell walls and conventional fillers do not change the melt strength substantially.
- the orientation of the ideally single platelet shaped nanofillers of the instant invention (and the fact that, once oriented, they project a cross section of less than a few nanometers across the thickness of the cell walls) can overcome these difficulties and lead to lower density foam products with good load bearing capabilities.
- the high aspect ratio of the nanofillers of the instant invention also dramatically increases the polymer's melt strength and produces compositions in which the cell wall sees the maximum reinforcement both in the melt and solidified state. Thus a lower density foam can be produced which equals the performance of higher density products.
- multilayer polymer film, sheet or tube is defined in and a basic teaching regarding its process and articles will be found in the Encyclopedia of Polymer Science and Engineering, Vol. 7, 1987, p106-127 herein fully incorporated by reference and in United States Patents 3,576,707, 4,122,138, 5,443,874, 5,129,544, 5,441 ,781 , 4,005,967, 3,739,052, 3,947,204 and 3,884,606, each of which are herein fully incorporated by reference.
- the multilayer coextrusion process has been used commercially to manufacture unique articles, tubes, sheets and films with 3 to 10 layers. It allows manufacture of products with layers thinner than can be made and handled as an individual ply.
- the layers may individually provide a specific attribute, such as barrier properties, mechanical strength, printability, or adhesion, to the overall structure.
- the multilayer extrusion process of the instant invention can, of course, be coupled with other processes such as solid phase forming, blow molding, stretch-blow molding, injection-blow molding and thermoforming to produce shaped articles.
- the prior art multilayer coextrusion process suffers from difficulties in matching the rheology of separate layers. Mismatched rheology can lead to poor interracial adhesion, a wavy interface and in extreme cases breakup of the interface. Thus, poor optical properties and reduced physical properties can be produced. It would also be advantageous to reduce the thickness of the individual layers in order to save on material costs. Reduction in thickness requires improved performance as well as very uniform layer structures. Conventional relatively large sized fillers such as talc can not generally be used in layers below 50 micrometers in thickness because such conventional fillers produce defects and flow instabilities. Extrusion molding processes often provide improved strength in the machine (extrusion) direction but are much weaker in the cross-direction. Mechanical processes such as molding with rotation have been developed to overcome this problem but they require specialized additional equipment. A simple method for maintaining strength biaxially is desired.
- the ease of orientation of the plate-like nanofillers provides a method to optimize the properties in both thin layers and in relatively thick layers in a multilayer coextruded article.
- the plate-like nanofillers of the instant invention provide added melt strength to low viscosity layers which leads to more uniform layer thickness, are small enough so that they do not disrupt even the thinnest single layer and the formation process causes a high degree of orientation of the plates thus maximizing the performance of the article produced.
- the small size of the plates makes them transparent so that they can be used in applications where clarity is required.
- the biaxial nature of the platelet reinforcement provides additional strength in the cross- direction, which is inherently weak due to the fabrication process.
- the composites of this embodiment of the instant invention are particularly applicable in multilayer automotive fuel tanks, automotive gas filler tube/neck, fuel transport lines and hollow multilayer moldings such as carbonated beverage bottles.
- the nanofillers of the instant invention may be incorporated into those layers responsible for the desired property, for example, barrier to gases or vapors.
- the nanofiller of the instant invention provides improved performance and clarity; the orientation imparted to the nanoparticles in the extrusion process maximizes the performance.
- the multilayer sheet may be extruded, followed by thermoforming of separate halves and welding of the halves together to make a completed structure.
- a multilayered tube (or “parison") can be extruded followed by blow molding or the parison into a mold of the desired shape. Sagging of the parison during extrusion and prior to blow molding can cause difficulties in reproducibly controlling the process.
- the high aspect ratio of the nanofiller provides substantial reinforcement of the polymer melt and thus reduces the sagging problem of a large parison.
- Other applications of this embodiment of the instant invention include semirigid containers for food and industrial materials, signage, machine and furniture side panels and appliances.
- the number of layers can be five to ten or more than ten layers.
- the article made can be more than one kilogram in weight.
- Coextrusion has been used commercially to manufacture unique films, sheets and tubes consisting of from as few as 3 layers to thousands of layers where the individual layers can be less than 100 nanometers thick.
- the plate-like fillers are highly oriented in these films by the extrusion process which assists in the flow stability during extrusion thus producing more intact layers. The thinner the layers, the greater the orientation and thus the greater the reinforcement.
- the orientation of the nanofiller also improves barrier and overall mechanical performance. Unlike conventional fillers, the thinness of the nanofillers of the instant invention allows for their presence without interfering with the optical properties of the films (or sheets or tubes).
- This improved performance can be more pronounced as the thickness of the composite is reduced due to the alignment of the nanocomposite plates via the shear induced in the pultrusion process.
- the reduction in the CLTE of the matrix due to the presence of the nanofiller produces a better match of CLTE's between carbon fibers and the matrix resin leading to a more intact interface. This performance is surprising because it tends not to take place with conventional filler materials such as talc or calcium carbonate.
- thermoset resin like epoxies, vinyl esters, vinyl ethers and urethanes.
- Applications include, for example, intermodal containers, building walls and panels, structural profiles for bridges, automotive body panels, auto door panels/modules and auto bumper beams.
- compression molding is defined in and a basic teaching regarding its process and articles will be found in the Encyclopedia of Polymer Science and Engineering, Vol. 4, 1986, p. 79-85, 104 and 108 which are herein fully incorporated by reference.
- a major problem with parts having support ribs which are made by compression molding an extruded fiber reinforced polymer pre-form can be "show through" of the support ribs when the wall thickness of the part is reduced below about 2 millimeters.
- the use of a nanocomposite of the instant invention in the extruded fiber reinforced polymer pre-form reduces rib "show through” by reducing the coefficient of thermal expansion of the polymer to more closely match that of the glass fibers.
- the extrusion process can optimize orientation of the dispersed nanofiller of the instant invention by the use of multi-slit dies.
- CLTE coefficient of linear expansion
- the use of a nanocomposite of the instant invention can also produce a class A finish of the article superior to the use of conventional filler materials. This embodiment of the instant invention is especially useful to make automotive parts such as door panels, side panels, front end modules and structural instrument panels modules.
- strand foamed polymer is defined in and a basic teaching regarding its process and articles will be found in United States Patents 5,527,573, 4,801 ,484, 5,206,082 and 4,824,720, each of which are herein fully incorporated by reference.
- the density of strand foams can be further reduced over standard foams using nanocomposites because the nanofiller plates of the instant invention are optimally oriented by the initial fiber extrusion process prior to foaming.
- the small size of the nanofiller of the instant invention makes this added thinning of the cell wall possible.
- the added orientation of the nanofiller of the instant embodiment also improves the polymer's melt rheology leading to improved foam stability.
- the resulting higher dimensional stability and impact strength makes the foams prepared according to this embodiment well suited for automobile bumpers, headliners, insulation panels and interior automobile pillars.
- the term "SCORIM” Shear Controlled Orientation in Injection Molding
- the unique properties of the plate-like nanofiller of the instant invention produces a high degree of alignment across a large cross-section with minimal randomization of the particles, even during a prolonged cooling cycle. Thus larger parts are possible via SCORIM injection molding.
- nanofillers of the instant invention can be used for both reinforcement and rheology modification of one or more of the layers in an injection or a co-injection molded part.
- Applications of this embodiment of the instant invention include refrigerator liners, automotive facia, containers and washing machine tubs.
- Coextruded films of nanocomposite polyolefin compounds are prepared using a coextrusion line that consists of two 19 millimeter single screw extruders equipped with gear pumps (1.2 cc/revolution pumping capacity). These extruders provide two independent meltstreams into a coextrusion feedblock that provides an initial two-layer meltstream (i.e., the first composite stream). This first composite stream is subsequently passed through a series of two channel layer multipliers (similar in design to those taught by Schrenk, et al. in U.S. 5,202,074, herein fully incorporated by reference) to create a second composite stream having an increased number of layers in accordance with the following equation:
- N 2(2 n )
- N Total number of layers
- n Number of layer multiplication stages
- the second composite stream is subsequently passed though a 350 millimeter wide flex lip die and onto a chilled casting drum to fabricate a thin film.
