This study addresses the challenge of achieving foam with a high expansion ratio and poor mechanical properties, caused by the low melt viscosity of semi-crystalline polypropylene (PP). We systematically employ a modification approach involving blending PP with polyolefin elastomers (POE), irradiation crosslinking, and fiber reinforcement to prepare fiber-reinforced crosslinked PP/POE composite foam. Through optimization and characterization of material composition and processing conditions, the obtained fiber-reinforced crosslinked PP/POE composite foam exhibits both low density and high performance. Specifically, at a crosslinking degree of 12%, the expansion ratio reaches 16 times its original value, and a foam density of 0.057 g/cm is reduced by 36% compared to the non-crosslinked PP/POE system with a density of 0.089 g/cm. The density of the short-carbon-fiber-reinforced crosslinked sCF/PP/POE composite foam is comparable to that of the crosslinked PP/POE system, but the tensile strength reaches 0.69 MPa, representing a 200% increase over the crosslinked PP/POE system and a 41% increase over the non-crosslinked PP/POE system. Simultaneously, it exhibits excellent impact strength, tear resistance, and low heat shrinkage. Irradiation crosslinking is beneficial for enhancing the melt strength and resistance to high temperature thermal shrinkage of PP/POE foam, while fiber reinforcement contributes significantly to improving mechanical properties. These achieve a good complementary effect in low-density and high-performance PP foam modification.
本研究应对了由半结晶聚丙烯(PP)熔体粘度低所导致的高膨胀比与机械性能差的泡沫制备挑战。我们系统地采用了一种改性方法,包括将PP与聚烯烃弹性体(POE)共混、辐照交联和纤维增强,以制备纤维增强交联PP/POE复合泡沫。通过对材料组成和加工条件的优化与表征,所获得的纤维增强交联PP/POE复合泡沫兼具低密度和高性能。具体而言,在交联度为12%时,膨胀比达到其原始值的16倍,泡沫密度为0.057 g/cm³,相较于密度为0.089 g/cm³的非交联PP/POE体系,降低了36%。短碳纤维增强交联sCF/PP/POE复合泡沫的密度与交联PP/POE体系相当,但其拉伸强度达到0.69 MPa,相较于交联PP/POE体系提高了200%,相较于非交联PP/POE体系提高了41%。同时,它还表现出优异的冲击强度、抗撕裂性和低热收缩率。辐照交联有利于提高PP/POE泡沫的熔体强度和耐高温热收缩性,而纤维增强对改善机械性能有显著贡献。这些在低密度和高性能PP泡沫改性中实现了良好的互补效应。
