A kind of 3D printing composite polylactic acid material and preparation method thereof
Technical field
The invention belongs to field of high polymer material modification, it is related to a kind of poly-lactic acid material, it is more particularly to a kind of suitable
Composite polylactic acid material with the high heat-resisting vertical structure performance of high-ductility for 3D printing and preparation method thereof.
Background technology
3D printing is to rise a kind of fast free forming technique in 1990s mid-term, and its principle is with computer
Based on the digital model that modeling or scanning prototype are obtained, according to the two-dimensional section data after layering, software and numerical control are utilized
System, by powdery metal, ceramics or polymer etc. can jointing material by the increasing material manufacturing mode successively printed be built into three
Tie up entity.Compared with traditional molding methods, the maximum advantage of 3D printing, just can be directly without machining or mould
The object of any shape is generated from computer graphics data, so as to highly shortened the production cycle of product.3D printing is
Gradually it is applied to education, medical treatment, industrial modeling, scientific research archaeology, architectural design, food industries, clothing component, culture and arts, friendship
The logical field such as instrument and Aero-Space.
3D printing mainly with technology have following four:Selective laser sintering (Selective Laser
Sintering, SLA), fusion sediment moulding (Fused Deposition Modeling, FDM), stereolithography apparatus
(Stereo Lithography Appearance, SLA) and layer separated growth (Laminated Object
Manufacturing, LOM).Wherein, fusion sediment moulding (FDM) is most simple to equipment requirement, and printing cost is also minimum, is mesh
Before the printing type that is most widely used, especially for personal desktop's level 3D printer.
FDM not against laser as shaping the energy, but by thermoplastic silk material heat melt, it is successively accumulated simultaneously
Cooling and solidifying constitutes three-dimensional objects.Conventional FDM printed materials mainly have PLA (PLA), acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS)
Copolymer (ABS), nylon (PA) and makrolon (PC) etc..ABS can produce penetrating odor in print procedure, nylon and poly-
The melting temperature of carbonic ester is high, and printing difficulty is big, is also easy to produce buckling deformation.Comparatively, PLA is used as a kind of biological source
Degradable high polymer material, have the advantages that nonhazardous, environmentally safe, melting temperature are low and cooling meat rate is small, make
It turns into most popular 3D printing material.But the crystalline rate of polylactic resin is slow, resistance to heat distorsion and impact resistance
Can be poor, limit the application of its printed product.Therefore, PLA is overcome by improving crystallizing power and toughening modifying
Applied defect in 3D printing material then seems very necessary.
Alpha-carbon atom in PLA monomeric unit is an asymmetric carbon atom, with optical activity, thus PLA have it is left-handed
And two kinds of isotactic spatial configurations of dextrorotation (PDLA) (PLLA).Stereocomplex crystallization can occur between PLLA and PDLA, than respective
The fusing point of homogeneity crystallization is high about 50 DEG C, and this provides possibility to prepare the poly-lactic acid material with high-fire resistance.But Stereocomplex
Crystallization is largely affected by molecular weight, (divides equally again for commonly used in practice HMW PLLA and PDLA
Son amount is more than 40,000 g/mol), due to being limited by intermolecular crystal nucleation, growth and strand transfer ability, molten condition
Homogeneity crystal is mainly generated during lower crystallization, only a small amount of Stereocomplex crystal generation.Therefore, the Stereocomplex of high-fire resistance is prepared
The key of poly-lactic acid material is how to promote its Stereocomplex to crystallize.From the point of view of crystallization and raising crystallinity is accelerated,
It is a kind of maximally efficient and simple and feasible method to add nucleator, and the addition of nucleator can reduce the free energy of nucleating surface
Build, substantial amounts of activation nucleus is provided initial stage in crystallization.
Current research emphasis is concentrated mainly on the crystalline modified of PLLA, and few on induction PLLA and PDLA blendings
The report of thing Stereocomplex crystallization.CN104059343A and CN104804388A utilizes aromatic amides class nucleator (N, N '-two
Cyclohexyl terephthalamide and N, N ', the equal benzene trimethamide of N ' '-thricyclohexyl) improve the vertical of PLLA and PDLA blends
Structure compound crystal speed and crystallinity, so that the poly-lactic acid material of high stereoscopic composite content is made.But this kind of nucleator synthesis
Cumbersome, building-up process uses the arene compounds containing phenyl ring, and preparation process and application may cause one to human body and environment
Fixed harm.
Additionally it has been disclosed that patent in be related to the toughener that 3D printing used with modified polylactic acid material and have inorganic nanoparticles
Sub (CN103665802B) and traditional non-biodegradation type elastomer such as polyethylene (CN104725802A), esters of acrylic acid polymerize
Thing and acetate ethylene copolymer (CN104725806A), transparent butylbenzene anti-impact resin (CN105111703A) etc., and it is biodegradable
Type toughener is mainly polycarbonate elastomer body (CN104629280A) and aliphatic and introduces aromatic binary acid dihydric alcohol
Copolyesters (CN103467950B, CN104177798A).Up to the present, do not increase on hydroxyl alkane acid lipin polymer also
The relevant report of tough PLA 3D printing material.
