Definitions
- the present invention relates to filled olefin polymer compositions and filled olefin polymer concentrates having improved mechanical properties and scratch resistance.
- Industrial and automotive applications frequently utilize filled polymer systems to provide desirable mechanical properties.
- surface mechanical properties such as the smoothness and scratch and mar resistance of filled systems, are often insufficient to meet commercial needs.
- polyethylene wax is a high melt flow rate material, its incorporation typically results in a deterioration in the mechanical properties of the polymer system.
- Japanese Patent No. 2003245967 describes compositions containing crosslinked polypropylene, maleated propylene and glass fibers.
- the present invention relates to a filled olefin polymer concentrate comprising: A. about 1.0 wt% to about 40.0 wt% of an oxidized olefin polymer material containing from about 1 to about 200 mmol total peroxide per kilogram of oxidized olefin polymer; B.
- the present invention relates to a filled olefin polymer composition
- a filled olefin polymer composition comprising: A. about 0.5 to about 30.0 wt% of an oxidized olefin polymer material containing from about 1 to about 200 mmol total peroxide per kilogram of oxidized olefin polymer; B.
- Figure 1 is a scanning electron micrograph image of Comparative Example 6.
- Figure 2 is a scanning electron micrograph image of Example 1.
- Figure 3 is a scanning electron micrograph image of Example 2.

- the starting material for the oxidized olefin polymer material and the non-oxidized olefin polymer material in the compositions of the invention can be the same or different from each other.
- the olefin polymer starting material is first exposed to high-energy ionizing radiation under a blanket of inert gas, preferably nitrogen.
- the ionizing radiation should have sufficient energy to penetrate the mass of polymer material being irradiated to the extent desired.
- the ionizing radiation can be of any kind, but preferably includes electrons and gamma rays. More preferred are electrons beamed from an electron generator having an accelerating potential of about 500 to about 4,000 kilovolts. Satisfactory results are obtained at a dose of ionizing radiation of about 0.1 to about 15 megarads ("Mrad"), preferably about 0.5 to about 9.0 Mrad.
- Mrad megarad
- rad is usually defined as that quantity of ionizing radiation that results in the absorption of 100 ergs of energy per gram of irradiated material regardless of the source of the radiation using the process described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,047,446.
- Energy absorption from ionizing radiation is measured by the well-known convention dosimeter, a measuring device in which a strip of polymer film containing a radiation-sensitive dye is the energy absorption sensing means.
- the term "rad” means that quantity of ionizing radiation resulting in the absorption of the equivalent of 100 ergs of energy per gram of the polymer film of a dosimeter placed at the surface of the olefin polymer material being irradiated, whether in the form of a bed or layer of particles, or a film, or a sheet.
- the irradiated olefin polymer material is then oxidized, preferably in a series of steps.
- the first treatment step consists of heating the irradiated polymer in the presence of a first controlled amount of active oxygen greater than about 0.004% by volume but less than about 15%) by volume, preferably less than about 8% by volume, more preferably less than about 5% by volume, and most preferably from about 1.3% to about 3.0% by volume, to a first temperature of at least about 25°C but below the softening point of the polymer, preferably about 25°C to about 140°C, more preferably about 25°C to about 100°C, and most preferably about 40°C to about 80°C. Heating to the desired temperature is accomplished as quickly as possible, preferably in less than about 10 minutes.
- the polymer is then held at the selected temperature, typically for about 5 to about 90 minutes, to increase the extent of reaction of the oxygen with the free radicals in the polymer.
- the holding time which can be determined by one skilled in the art, depends upon the properties of the starting material, the active oxygen concentration used, the irradiation dose, and the temperature. The maximum time is determined by the physical constraints of the fluid bed.
- the irradiated polymer is heated in the presence of a second controlled amount of oxygen greater than about 0.004%) but less than about 15 > by volume, preferably less than about 8%> by volume, more preferably less than about 5% by volume, and most preferably from about 1.3% to about 3.0%> by volume, to a second temperature of at least about 25°C but below the softening point of the polymer.
- the second temperature is from about 100°C to less than the softening point of the polymer, and greater than the first temperature of the first step.
- the polymer is then held at the selected temperature and oxygen concentration conditions, for about 10 to about 300 minutes, preferably about 20 to about 180 minutes, to increase the rate of chain scission and to minimize the recombination of chain fragments so as to form long chain branches, i.e., to minimize the formation of long chain branches.
- the holding time is determined by the same factors discussed in relation to the first treatment step.
- the oxidized olefin polymer material is heated under a blanket of inert gas, preferably nitrogen, to a third temperature of at least about 80°C but below the softening point of the polymer, and held at that temperature for about 10 to about 120 minutes, preferably about 60 minutes. A more stable product is produced if this step is carried out.
- the oxidized olefin polymer is going to be stored rather than used immediately, or if the radiation dose that is used is on the high end of the range described above.
- the polymer is then cooled to a fourth temperature of about 70°C over a period of about 10 minutes under a blanket of inert gas, preferably nitrogen, before being discharged from the bed. In this manner, stable intermediates are formed that can be stored at room temperature for long periods of time without further degradation.
- a preferred method of carrying out the treatment is to pass the irradiated olefin polymer through a fluid bed assembly operating at a first temperature in the presence of a first controlled amount of oxygen, passing the polymer through a second fluid bed assembly operating at a second temperature in the presence of a second controlled amount of oxygen, and then maintaining the polymer at a third temperature under a blanket of nitrogen, in a third fluid bed assembly.
- a continuous process using separate fluid beds for the first two steps, and a purged, mixed bed for the third step is preferred.
- the process can also be carried out in a batch mode in one fluid bed, using a fluidizing gas stream heated to the desired temperature for each treatment step.
- the fluidized bed method does not require the conversion of the irradiated polymer into the molten state and subsequent re-solidification and comminution into the desired form.
- the fluidizing medium can be, for example, nitrogen or any other gas that is inert with respect to the free radicals present, e.g., argon, krypton, and helium.
- the concentration of peroxide groups formed on the polymer can be controlled by varying the radiation dose during the preparation of the irradiated polymer and the amount of oxygen to which such polymer is exposed after irradiation.
- the oxygen level in the fluid bed gas stream is controlled by the addition of dried, filtered air at the inlet to the fluid bed.
- the oxidized olefin polymer materials can be prepared according to the following procedures.
- the olefin polymer starting material is treated with 0.1 to 10 wt%o of an organic peroxide initiator while adding a controlled amount of oxygen so that the olefin polymer material is exposed to greater than 0.004%> but less than 21% by volume, preferably less than 15%, more preferably less than 8% by volume, and most preferably 1.0% to 5.0%) by volume; at a temperature of at least 25 °C but below the softening point of the polymer, preferably about 25 °C to about 140 °C.
- the polymer is then heated to a temperature of at least 25°C up to the softening point of the polymer, preferably from 100°C to less than the softening point of the polymer, at an oxygen concentration that is within the same range as in the first treatment step.
- the total reaction time is typically about 0.5 hour to four hours.
