Based on general Engineering and plastics the strength, flame retardancy, impact resistance, toughness in addition to antibacterial properties of plastics can be improved through filling or strengthening as well as other methods.
How can nano materials modify plastics?
1. Aging resistance of reinforced plastics
The aging process for polymer materials including photooxidation, begins on the outside of materials or products including discoloration cracking, pulverization, glossiness diminution, but then it gradually gets deeper to the inside. The properties of polymers that prevent aging directly impact their lifespan and environment, especially for agricultural plastics and plastic construction materials. It is not just a metric that demands the most attention, but an important part of polymer chemical science. The wavelength of sunlight is 200400nm. The UV spectrum that is 280400nm could damage the molecular chain of the polymer creating a material that is more prone to aging. Nano-oxides (such as nano-alumina, nano-titanium oxide, nano-silica and many others, have excellent absorption properties in the microwave and infrared. A proper mix of nano SiO2 and TiO2 can absorb an enormous amount of ultraviolet rays . They ensure that plastics are not damaged by sunlight, and help in the prevention of plastic products cracking, discoloration and other lighting-related damage, making the materials anti-aging.
2. Improve the characteristics of the antibacterial, anti-mildew, and anti-milde plastics
Antibacterial plastics are usually made by adding antimicrobial agents or antibacterial masterbatch in the resin. Because plastic molding requires to go through high temperature, there are inorganic antimicrobial products that are able to withstand the extreme temperature. Traditional antibacterial metal powders , such like copper sulfate and Nitrate are difficult to combine directly into thermoplastics. Inorganic nano-antibacterial powder is specially modified to create antibacterial polymer masterbatch. It’s simple to incorporate into plastic products and has good interactions with other plastics. It can aid in the dispersion of antimicrobial agents. Inorganic silver ions can be transformed into nano titanium dioxide nano-silicon aluminum dioxide and other inorganic nano-materials. the resultant powder has antibacterial properties. It is combined with plastics, extruded and molded by UV irradiation for the formation of antibacterial polymers. its antibacterial effect is formed by the slow release of antimicrobials, in order to create the antibacterial effects.
3. Improve the toughness and strength of plastics
When the second ingredient are added to the polymeric mat the composite is created, which is a stronger and more durable material. is created through compounding that is utilized to enhance the mechanical strength and impact force of the materials. Nanomaterials are emerging as a an exciting new technique and method to improve the toughening and reinforcement improvement of plastics. The defects on the surface of the small-sized particles dispersed in phase are not too numerous and there are lots of non-paired electrons. The ratio of the surface number of atoms to total quantity of nanoparticles goes up with the decrease of particle size. This is due to the fact that the field of the crystal and the interaction energy of surface atoms are different from those of internal molecules, and therefore they possess a great chemical activity. Thanks to the micronization effect of the field and the growth of active surface atoms, surface energy is significantly enhanced, so it can be very closely linked with the polymer substrate, and exhibits good compatibility. If it is subjected externally, the ion is not readily detachable from the substrate , and is able to more effectively transfer the stress. While at the same time as it interacts with the stress field with the substrate, there will be more microcracks and plastic deformations inside the materialthat could cause the substrate to yield and consume more force, in order to accomplish the goal of strengthening and toughening simultaneously. Nano-materials that are most commonly utilized are nano alumina, nano silica nano-calcium carbonate, and so on.
4. Improve the thermal conductivity plastics
The thermoconductive plastics are type of plastic with great thermal conductivity. They generally is greater than 1w/ (m. K.). The thermal conductive plastics are becoming more and more commonly used because of their lightweight they have, their rapid thermal conductivity easy injection moldings, low processing cost and so on. Because of its good in thermal insulation, and conductivity the use of nano-alumina in thermal conductive plastics thermal conductive rubber, construction age, thermally conducting coatings and other fields. Compared with metal filler, nano-alumina / nano-magnesia can not only improve the thermal conductivity, but also increase the insulation effect, and the mechanical properties of plastics can be enhanced.
5. Improve processesability for plastics
Certain polymers like high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) having a typical viscosity molecular weight greater than 150 minutes, exhibit excellent overall properties, but they are not easily produced and processed due their high viscosity, which limits their usage and popularization. Profiting from the low interlaminar friction value of layers of silicate, the nano-rare earth/ultra high molecular weight polyethylene composite was made by mixing UHMWPE with layered silicate that can reduce the interspersion of UHMWPE molecular chain as well as reduce the viscosity. Play a good role in the lubrication process, thereby greatly increasing the processing capabilities.
6. Nanomaterials make plastics functional.
Metal nanoparticles can be found in heterogeneous nucleation, which may trigger the formation or formation of specific crystal structures that confer toughness and durability to materials. When polypropylene is stuffed with high melting point metal nanoparticles, it is found that they could serve as of conductive channel. It can also aid in strengthening and toughening the polypropylene and its low melting point improves the processability of composites.
