基于填料选择性分布的聚碳酸酯-纳米二氧化钛/聚丙烯光扩散材料的制备及性能

Preparation and properties of polycarbonate-nano titanium dioxide/polypropylene light diffusing materials based on selective distribution of fillers

  • 摘要: 光扩散材料能够将点、线光源均匀地转化为柔和的面光源,现已应用于照明、显示、太阳能光伏、光检测器等多领域,其中体散射型光扩散材料的性能可根据散射粒子性质和分布状态实现调节。本文通过调整聚丙烯(PP)、聚碳酸酯(PC)以及改性纳米二氧化钛(nTiO2)的共混方式,促使nTiO2实现不同的分布状态。结合动力学和热力学因素对nTiO2的迁移行为进行了分析,具体研究了复合材料微观形貌对其力学、光扩散及抗紫外性能的影响。研究结果表明:一步共混方式下,nTiO2主要分布在PP基体中,在复合材料中表现出更显著的异相成核作用,然而nTiO2在基体相中的直接分布过度加剧了散射现象,使得一步共混方式得到的nTiO2/PC/PP材料透光率显著降低,综合光学性能下降;分步共混方式制得的(PC-nTiO2)/PP材料中,nTiO2主要分布在PP、PC相界面处及PC分散相内。复合材料表现出均衡光学性能的同时,PC相中分布的nTiO2可引发多重散射效应,使得材料具备更大的散射范围。力学方面,归因于PC- nTiO2分散相的刚性以及nTiO2的桥接作用对PP、PC相界面强度的强化,分步共混方式制得的(PC-nTiO2)/PP材料表现出更优的力学性能。nTiO2的分布情况也对复合材料的抗紫外性能有所影响。

     

    Abstract: Light-diffusing materials could convert point and line light sources into surface light sources, which are widely used in lighting, display, solar photovoltaic, light detectors and other fields. The performance of volumetric light-diffusing materials could be further modulated according to the characteristics and the distribution state of the scattering particles. In this paper, different blending methods were applied for polypropylene (PP), polycarbonate (PC) and modified nano titanium dioxide (nTiO2) during melt-blending process to achieve different distribution states of nTiO2. The migration behavior of TiO2 nanoparticles was analyzed considering kinetic and thermodynamic factors, and the effects of microscopic morphology on the mechanical and light diffusion properties of the composites were specifically investigated. The results showed that: nTiO2 was mainly distributed in the PP matrix and showed more significant heterogeneous nucleation in the composites when applying the one-step blending method. However, the distribution of nTiO2 in the PP matrix excessively exacerbated the scattering phenomenon, which resulted in a significant decrease in the light transmittance and comprehensive optical properties of the nTiO2/PC/PP materials obtained by one-step blending method. In (PC-nTiO2)/PP composites prepared by the stepwise blending method, nTiO2 was mainly distributed at the interface and within the PC dispersed phase. The composites showed balanced opticalproperties,meanwhile the distribution of nTiO2 in the PC phase might trigger multiple scattering, resulting in a larger scattering range. The (PC-nTiO2)/PP materials produced by the stepwise blending method showed better mechanical properties due to the rigidity of the PC-nTiO2 dispersed phase and strengthened interfacial interaction between the PP and PC phases raised by the bridging effect of nTiO2. The distribution state of nTiO2 also had an impact on the UV resistance of the composites.
