Coupling agent is also called surface modifier. It can reduce the viscosity of the synthetic resin melt in the plastic processing process, improve the dispersion of the filler to improve the processing performance, and then make the product obtain good surface quality and mechanical, thermal and electrical properties.
1. Classification of coupling agent
According to the chemical structure and composition of the coupling agent, it is divided into four categories: organic chromium complexes, silanes, titanates and aluminates:
Chromium complex coupling
The chromium complex coupling agent was developed in the early 1950s. The metal chromium complex formed by unsaturated organic acid and trivalent chromium ion has mature synthesis and application technology and low cost, but the variety is relatively simple-- .
A silane coupling agent
The general formula of silane coupling agent is RSIX3, where R represents amino, mercapto, vinyl, epoxy, cyano and methacryloxy groups. These groups and different matrix resins have strong X represents an alkoxy group (such as methoxy group, ethoxy group, etc.) that can be hydrolyzed. There are several types of silane coupling agent in China: KH550, KH560, KH570, KH792, DL602, DL171.
Titanate coupling agent
According to their unique molecular structure, titanate coupling agents include four basic types: ①Single alkoxy type. This type of coupling agent is suitable for a variety of resin-based composite material systems, especially suitable for free water and only Filling system containing chemically bonded water or physical water; ②Monoalkoxy pyrophosphate type coupling agent is suitable for a variety of resin-based composite material systems, especially suitable for filler systems with high moisture content; ③Chelating type This type of coupling agent is suitable
Used in a variety of resin-based composite material systems, because they have very good hydrolytic stability, this type of coupling agent is especially suitable for water-containing polymer systems; ④The ligand type of this type of coupling agent is used in a variety of resin-based or rubber It has a good coupling effect in the base composite system, which overcomes the shortcomings of the general titanate coupling agent used in the resin-based composite system.
Other coupling agents
The zirconium coupling agent is a low molecular weight inorganic polymer containing zirconium aluminate. It can not only promote the adhesion between different substances, but also improve the performance of the composite material system, especially the rheological properties. This type of coupling agent is not only suitable for a variety of thermosetting resins, but also for a variety of thermoplastic resins. In addition, there are magnesium coupling agents and tin coupling agents.
Among the reinforced plastics, a chemical substance that can improve the bonding force between the resin and the reinforced material. A substance that promotes or establishes a strong bond at the interface between the resin matrix and the reinforcing material. Note: The coupling agent can be applied to the reinforcing material or added to the resin, or a combination of the two.
