In matrix material of the present invention, the content of polynite is 0.005-15 part (weight part).Polynite content is lower than 0.005 part, the enhancement deficiency, and also nucleating effect is also not obvious.When content was higher than 15 parts, the toughness of material had bigger decline.The content of polynite is relatively good 0.5-10 part.The purposes difference, the content of polynite is also different.As the matrix material that engineering plastics are used, the content of polynite is 1-10 part; Make filamentary material usefulness and then be 0.1-3 part; Make film with being 0.005-2 part.
In matrix material of the present invention, used polynite is an enhydrite.Its structure is two drift angles Si-O tetrahedrons inwardly, therebetween a slice Al-(O, OH) the octahedra unit cell of forming.Structure cell is parallel and repeatedly puts.Its octahedron can be regarded oxyhydrogen aluminum stone (Al as
2(OH)
6) layer, per three oxygen by two vacation six side's network summits of being formed by Si-O of (OH) are wherein replaced, and tetrahedron leans on shared Sauerstoffatom to be connected with octahedra.There is Al-OH to exist in the structure cell.It causes the polynite cohesion easily, and forms larger particles.Cause composite property decline and can't carry out spinning.So, must be to the Al-OH termination process, promptly through being crushed to the polynite more than 300 orders, after the thorough drying, with containing halosilanes: be selected from-chlorine trimethyl silane or dichlorodimethylsilane or METHYL TRICHLORO SILANE combination treatment.The add-on that contains halosilanes is the 1-10% of polynite consumption, and 2-8% is better, and 3-6% is best.

2+Handle through the organic ion exchange Deng need.Its organic ion exchanger is the hydramine ion, or the amino acid ion.Hydramine is the one-level hydramine, be selected from monoethanolamine, aminopropanol; Or the secondary hydramine, be selected from N-methylamino ethanol, diethanolamine; Or tertiary alcohol amine, be selected from the N-dimethylaminoethanol, trolamine.Amino acid is Padil or alanine or hexosamine or aminoundecanoic acid.The protonating agent for preparing described organic ion can be organic acid or mineral acid, is selected from P-hydroxybenzoic acid, terephthalic acid, m-phthalic acid, boric acid, hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, phosphoric acid, acetic acid, sulfuric acid.
The solvent that polynite and organic ion exchange are handled can be water, methyl alcohol, ethanol, propyl alcohol, ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, butyleneglycol and their mixture.Wherein water is the best swelling agent of polynite.Polynite is at water and 1: 4-4: in 1 the water and the mixed solvent of ethylene glycol fabulous dispersiveness is arranged, ion-exchange speed is the fastest.But,, can influence the polyreaction of PET owing to a large amount of existence of water in the system.So must remove.Remove the method for anhydrating and to adopt straight run distillation, centrifugation and fractionated method.The former is simple to operate.Centrifugation adds that the method for filtration washing can be effectively except that anhydrating and other impurity, and it is more firm that ion is combined with cheating engaging layer.Also can remove and anhydrate with fractionated method.
In matrix material of the present invention, the unit cell bed thickness of polynite is 1nm, and layer width is about 100nm, and interlamellar spacing is 0.2-0.5nm.After the organic ion exchange was handled, interlamellar spacing was expanded as 1.5-3nm.One end of organic ion is that static combines with cheating engaging layer, and the reactive functionality of the other end participates in the polyreaction of PET.
In matrix material of the present invention, other additive is reactive flame retardant or matting agent or whitening agent.The purpose of adding them is for permanent fire-retardant, the delustring that increases this matrix material, brightens function.Its addition is respectively 2-3.5 part; 0.5-1.0 part; 0.1-0.5 part.
On the other hand, the present invention also provides the method for this Novel PET matrix material of preparation.This method is included in the process of preparation PET, the arbitrary stage before finishing from the polycondensation of pulling an oar, exchange the swelling polynite of handling but add through halosilanes end-blocking and organic ion, and be prepared into the PET matrix material.It is to utilize esterification or the polycondensation that participates in the PET preparation process through the polynite of halosilanes end-blocking and organic ion exchange processing, struts in the process that the PET molecular chain increases and then cheating engaging layer, reaches nano level and disperses.And, realize organic and inorganic material bonded new technology by the Coulombian charge effect.Prepare that crystallization velocity is fast, the PET matrix material of good mechanical property, thermotolerance and excellent size stability.
The preparation of PET matrix material of the present invention can be begun by PTA and EG; Also can be begun by DMT and EG, any stage before treated polynite can be finished from the polycondensation of pulling an oar adds reaction system, but adds best in earlier stage in polycondensation.Preparing this matrix material 1. can adopt. continuous polymerization.Or 2. .PTA direct esterification, gap polycondensation method.Or 3. .DMT ester-interchange method different process technological line.
The reaction mechanism and the pure PET that adopt the present invention to prepare the PET matrix material do not have tangible difference.Therefore do not need to add special catalyst.When adopting the DMT method, transesterification catalyst remains the acetate of manganese, magnesium, zinc etc., and its consumption is also suitable with the pure PET of preparation.Polycondensation catalyst still is Sb (CH commonly used
3COO)

3When polynite content≤5%, its molecular weight and distribute and be not subjected to the influence of polynite content can prepare the PET matrix material of higher molecular weight and narrower molecular weight distribution.
With the PET matrix material of method preparation of the present invention, observe, measure through high resolution transmission electron microscopy, confirm that the dispersion of polynite in PET reaches nano-scale.The most probable layer thickness distribution is 30-50nm.
There is stronger statcoulomb power to combine between PET macromole and the silicate layer.Therefore, they are the true solution state in phenol/tetrachloroethane solvent.
The kinetics of crystallization of PET matrix material of the present invention studies show that it can increase substantially the crystallization velocity of PET.The isothermal crystal semi-period has improved about five times than PET; The supercooling temperature of nonisothermal crystallization improves 15-17 ℃.Therefore, the matrix material for preparing with the present invention carries out the injection-molded man-hour that adds, and die temperature can be reduced to 50-70 ℃.This just provides necessary condition for developing its application in the engineering plastics field.
Because the nano-dispersed of polynite and the Chemical bond between the organic-inorganic are significantly improved mechanical property, thermotolerance and the dimensional stability of PET matrix material.
The PET matrix material of the present invention's preparation can adopt common melt processing to be processed into fiber.This matrix material is in the spun filament that obtains under the speed of spinning of 2000m/min, 3.2 times of drawing-offs, and 180 ℃ of typings, the initial modulus of gained fiber is higher more than 60% than pure PET.Dried, damp and hot contraction obviously reduces.Indicate its application prospect in PET industrial fiber field.
