The wear-resistant functional master batch prepared by the invention is mainly used for artificial grass filaments and is added into a grass filament formula according to a certain proportion. The silane crosslinked polyethylene in the master batch enables the linear polyethylene to be crosslinked into an effective three-dimensional network structure, so that the movement of a molecular chain becomes difficult, and the wear resistance, the mechanical property and the ageing resistance of the material are improved.

The polyethylene molecules are long-chain linear structures or branched structures, have good processing flowability, but have insufficient hardness and poor creep resistance. Therefore, the artificial grass silk fiber has better flexibility and smoother surface. However, the artificial grass filaments have low surface hardness and poor bearing capacity, and are easy to generate plastic deformation and adhesive abrasion in the repeated friction process of heavy load. Therefore, the wear resistance of the material is poor.
The silane crosslinking forms new-Si-O-chemical bonds among polyethylene molecules, the formation of a three-dimensional network three-dimensional structure improves the deformation resistance and the plowing resistance of polyethylene, the softening and adhesion phenomena of the material are reduced due to local friction heat aggregation in the friction process, the wear resistance is improved, on one hand, the surface hardness of the material is improved, the surface roughness is improved, the friction coefficient is increased due to the partial crosslinking of the polyethylene, and a good anti-slip effect is achieved to a certain extent.
