Abstract:
By using ultrasonic technology to prepare anhydrous CaSO
4 whisker loaded amides β nucleating agent (βNB) for making polypropylene (PP) composites, the mechanical properties of PP composites were studied, and the influencing factors were explored by DSC and SEM. The results show that using ultrasonic technology to treat CaSO
4W load βNB can greatly improve the impact toughness of the blending of ultrasonic CaSO
4(UCaSO
4W) loaded βBN and PP composites by 56.1%-124.1% compared with pure PP, while untreated CaSO
4W loaded βNB and βNB alone with βNB/PP composites without this effect. DSC and SEM analysis show that the changes of PP beta crystal content in the βNB/PP, CaSO
4W-βNB/PP and UCaSO
4W-βNB/PP composites are related to the addition of βNB content, CaSO
4W and βNB existed antagonism action on PP beta crystal effect; the main cause of the improvement of the impact performance is not the change of PP beta crystal content, but the processing of ultrasonic CaSO
4W and βNB.
