Definitions
- This invention relates to a process for making alkenyl aromatic polymer rigid foams having a wide range of cell morphologies by utilizing nano-particles as nucleating agents.
- Such rigid foams are useful for forming rigid insulating foam boards suitable in many conventional thermal insulation applications.
- the physical properties of rigid polymer foam boards, such as their compressive strength, thermal conductivity, dimensional stability, water absorption rate, depend in large part on the micro-structure of the material forming the boards, that is., the cell morphology of the foam.
- cell defects may also be attributed, at least in part, to the hydrophilic surface of most conventional inorganic nucleation agents that makes them difficult to disperse evenly in a polymer.
- These effects tend to result in processing difficulties, such as corrugation of the resulting foam board, when nucleation agents are added at levels greater than about 2 weight percent or the median cell size of the resulting foam is less than around 120 microns.
- Prior art attempts to avoid foam structure corrugation effects have utilized cell size enlarging agents such as the waxy compositions disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 4,229,396, and the non-waxy compositions disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 5,489,407.
- the present invention provides a process for making a closed-cell, alkenyl aromatic polymer foam in which nano-particle nucleation agents are utilized to control the cell morphology.
- the exemplary process comprises: 1) heating an alkenyl aromatic polymer to the temperature above the glass transition temperature of the polymer (for crystal polymer), or melt point of the polymer (for amorphous polymer) to form a polymer melt; 2) incorporating an appropriate amount of selected nano-particles into the polymer melt to alter the polymer property and process behavior, such as rheology, melt strength; 3) incorporating blowing agents into the polymer melt at elevated pressure; 4) incorporating other additives, such as flame retardants into the polymer melt; and 5) extruding and forming a foam board under an atmospheric or sub-atmospheric pressure (partial vacuum) to produce a desired cell morphology, characterized by parameters such as cell size range and distribution, cell orientation and cell wall thickness.
- the nano-particles are typically particles with at least one dimension less than 100 nm and may be incorporated into the polymers as surface modified nano-particles, nano-particles having mechnochemical bonds to a core micron sized particle, nano-particle compounds in combination with polymers, such as master batch compositions, and/or liquid blowing agents.
- the nanoparticle polymer compounds can be intercalated nano-layers, such as compounds formed simply by mixing nano-Montmorillonite (MMT) or expanded graphite with a polymer, or exfoliated nano-layers, such as compounds formed by the in-situ polymerization of polymer precursors in the presence of nano-MMT or other surface-modified inorganic or graphite particles.
- MMT nano-Montmorillonite
- exfoliated nano-layers such as compounds formed by the in-situ polymerization of polymer precursors in the presence of nano-MMT or other surface-modified inorganic or graphite particles.
- a first exemplary embodiment of the present invention provides a process for making a rigid polymer foam having a relatively small median cell size of around 60 microns by using surface modified hydrophobic nano-MMT particles. Conventional foams, in comparison, tend to have a median cell size of more than 150 microns produced by using conventional inorganic nucleating agents such as hydrophilic talc.
- a second exemplary embodiment of the present invention provides a process for producing rigid foams having an increased cell orientation of at least about 1.4, compared with a conventional cell orientation of about 1.0, was observed by adding needle-shaped nano-particles of, for example, calcium carbonate, in addition to a conventional nucleating agent, such as talc.
- a third exemplary embodiment of the present invention provides a process for forming an improved foam structure using a carbon dioxide blowing agent in combination with a nano-scale nucleating agent, such as nano-MMT, to produce a rigid foam having a reduced median cell size and thinner cell walls both to improve mechanical strength and decrease thermal conductivity (thereby increasing the insulation value) of the resulting foam.
- a carbon dioxide blowing agent in combination with a nano-scale nucleating agent, such as nano-MMT
- FIG. 1 shows an SEM image of the cell wall structure of a typical XPS foam.
- FIG. 2 shows an SEM image of the cell strut structure of a typical extruded polystyrene ("XPS") foam.
- FIG. 3 shows an SEM image of an XPS foam with average cell size of about 81 microns produced with about 0.5% of a nano-clay nucleating agent.
- FIG. 4 shows an optical microscope image of the cell size, cell size distribution, and cell orientation (x/z) of an XPS foam with 2% nano-calcium carbonate.
- FIG. 5 shows an optical microscope image of the cell size, cell size distribution, and cell orientation (x/z) of an XPS foam with 3.3% of a nano-expanded graphite nucleating agent.
- FIG. 6 shows an SEM cell morphology image of an XPS foam sample prepared using 5% nano-MMT as a nucleating agent and 6% CO as a blowing agent.
- the cell morphology includes parameters such as cell mean size, cell anisotropic ratio or cell orientation, cell density, cell size distribution, cell wall thickness, cell strut effective diameter, open/closed cell ratio, cell shape, such as pentagonal dodecahedral, rhombic dodecahedron, tetra dodecahedral (with curved surface), and other models of cells such as bi-cell and cell-in-cell models.
- cell mean size, cell wall thickness, cell strut effective diameter, and cell orientation are the key parameters for determining the foam physical properties of closed cell foams.
- FIG. 1 and 2 show the SEM imagines of the cell wall and strut structure of a typical XPS foam. If a polymer foam is ideally depicted as a close wall of pentagonal dodecahedral cells in a uniform size, the cell wall thickness and the strut effective diameter then depend primarily on the density of the foam and the cell size.
- This invention uses nano-particles and a related extrusion process for controlling the cell size, cell wall thickness, strut effective diameter, as well as cell orientation within a relatively broad range.
- conventional polymer foams tend to exhibit a cell mean size in the range between about 120 and 280 microns.

- the particle size of the present nano-particle cell size controlling agent is typically no greater than 100 angstroms in at least one dimension, and may be an organic or inorganic material either with or without surface modification.
- the primary component of the foam structure is an alkenyl aromatic polymer material.
- Suitable alkenyl aromatic polymer materials include alkenyl aromatic homopolymers and copolymers of alkenyl aromatic compounds and copolymerizable ethylenically unsaturated comonomers.
- the alkenyl aromatic polymer material may further include minor proportions of non-alkenyl aromatic polymers.
- the alkenyl aromatic polymer material may be comprised solely of one or more alkenyl aromatic homopolymers, one or more of each of alkenyl aromatic homopolymers and copolymers, or blends of any of the foregoing with a non-alkenyl aromatic polymer.

- a preferred alkenyl aromatic polymer is at least 95% polystyrene and may be composed completely of polystyrene.
- the present foam structure will also typically include one or more blowing agents selected from 1) organic blowing agents, such as aliphatic hydrocarbons having 1-9 carbon atoms (including, for example, methane, ethanol, ethane, propane, n-butane and isopentane) and fully or partially halogenated aliphatic hydrocarbons having 1-4 carbon atoms (fluorocarbons, chlorocarbons and chlorofluorocarbons); 2) inorganic blowing agents, such as carbon dioxide, nitrogen and water; and 3) chemical blowing agents, such as azodicarbonamide, p-toluenesulfonyl.
