Optical diffusion polyester master batch, optical diffusion polyester film and preparation methods thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of polymer film materials, in particular to an optical diffusion polyester master batch, an optical diffusion polyester film and a preparation method thereof.
Background
The optical diffusion film is a film material capable of promoting the uniformity of illumination brightness. When light passes through the film materials, refraction, reflection and scattering phenomena occur in the film materials, and then the light is corrected into a uniform surface light source so as to achieve the effect of optical diffusion. The optical diffusion film is mainly applied to the fields of LCD backlight source modules, planar illumination and the like.
Currently, an optical diffusion film based on a polymer film material can be prepared by the following three methods:
(1) Through processing modes such as electrospray, photoetching or hot-pressing film technology, the surface of the film material is formed with microstructures (including V-groove shapes, hemispheres, cones and the like) which are regularly arranged, and the microstructures display different photophysical properties along different directions. When light passes through the surface of the film material with the microstructure, refraction and reflection actions are carried out for a plurality of times, so that the effect of light diffusion is achieved. The haze and the light transmittance of the diffusion film are adjusted by regulating and controlling the surface microstructure morphology and the distribution density of the film material.
(2) The holographic recording technology is used for forming orderly arranged grains on the surface of the film substrate, diffraction behaviors can be generated when light reaches the surface of the film material, and then the light diffusion direction is accurately controlled, so that the light diffusion effect is achieved. The holographic recording technology can regulate and control the incident light source for most of incident light and the incident light with a wider wavelength range.
(3) The matrix resin and the diffusion particles are subjected to melt mixing, stretching traction, solidification and cooling to form a film after being physically mixed uniformly; or coating the liquid mixture on a transparent film substrate, and solidifying and cooling to form the light diffusion film. When light passes through the interface between the diffusion particles and the matrix resin, scattering and refraction phenomena occur due to the difference of refractive indexes between the two phases, so that the effect of light diffusion is achieved.
The selected diffusion particles are divided into inorganic diffusion particles and organic diffusion particles. The inorganic diffusion particles comprise nano silicon dioxide, nano calcium carbonate, nano titanium dioxide, nano barium sulfate, glass beads and the like, the particles absorb incident light to a certain extent and are easy to agglomerate in the film material, and the light can be transmitted when the light is refracted, scattered or diffracted after encountering the particles, so that the light loss and the haze of the light diffusion film prepared from the inorganic diffusion particles and the resin are high, and the light transmittance is relatively low.
The organic diffusion particles comprise acrylic, polystyrene, polymethacrylate, organic silicon and the like, belong to particles with higher transparency, have small influence on light loss of incident light rays, and can realize the light diffusion requirement under the condition of high light transmittance. However, the light diffusion film prepared from the organic diffusion particles and the resin has poor dimensional stability and low abrasion resistance and tensile resistance.
The preparation of the light diffusion film by adopting the surface microstructure regulation and control and holographic recording technology requires complex process and expensive instruments and equipment, and is not suitable for large-scale and low-cost industrialized production and sales; the preparation process of the light diffusion film prepared by adopting the matrix resin and diffusion particle composite mode is relatively simple, the universality of instruments and equipment is high, and the light diffusion film is suitable for large-scale industrialized production. The method for preparing the matrix resin and the diffusion particles in a compounding way comprises a coating type and a non-coating type. The coating process requires good adhesion between the coating containing the diffusion particles and the matrix resin, and the diffusion particles are uniformly dispersed in the coating, so that the process flow is simple and easy to control, but a thin film coating production line (comprising thin film pretreatment, coating, drying and other processes) is additionally arranged at the rear end of the matrix resin film manufacturing equipment.
CN102167839a discloses a preparation method of a high-performance optical diffusion film, wherein diffusion particles are acrylic or silicon dioxide particles or siloxane particles, a layer of polyethylene glycol methacrylate monomer is coated on the surface layer of polybutylene terephthalate with diffusion particles, which is subjected to hydroxylation and bromination treatment, the monomer is polymerized under a certain thermal environment condition to obtain an oligomer, the polybutylene terephthalate is used as a substrate bottom layer, the polyethylene glycol methacrylate is used as a diffusion layer, and the diffusion particles are regularly arranged on the uppermost layer, so that the high light transmittance and high haze characteristics of the film are realized.
CN105589117a discloses an optical diffusion film with covering rate and light transmittance coordination, wherein the upper layer of the substrate is a diffusion layer, the lower layer is a back coating, and the resin in the diffusion layer coating and the back coating is at least one of acrylic resin, polyurethane and acrylic polyol respectively; the particles in the diffusion layer mainly comprise organic particles such as polymethyl methacrylate, polystyrene, polyethylene, polycarbonate and the like with different particle sizes and inorganic particles such as silicon dioxide, aluminum oxide, titanium dioxide, calcium carbonate, barium sulfate and the like; the particles in the back coating layer mainly consist of anti-adhesion inorganic particles of silica, alumina, titania and the like with small particle sizes.
In comparison, the non-coating process is to directly melt and mix the diffusion particles with a resin base material after surface modification, and then obtain the corresponding optical diffusion film through tape casting film formation and biaxial stretching. The process can be completed on the existing polyester film production line, has high production efficiency, does not need to additionally increase manufacturing equipment, and has higher compatibility requirement on the modified diffusion particles and matrix resin. In order to realize uniform dispersion of diffusion particles in matrix resin in a non-coating process, so that the composite film achieves higher haze and light transmittance, and simultaneously, excellent mechanical property and thermal yield performance of the film are ensured, it is necessary to perform screening combination (including shape, size, specific gravity and the like) on diffusion particles for preparing an optical diffusion film, further modify surface properties of the combined diffusion particles, adjust and optimize material compounding, film stretching process and the like, and prepare the high-performance optical diffusion film based on a polyester substrate at low cost.
Disclosure of Invention
Aiming at the problem that the optical diffusion film prepared by a non-coating process in the prior art cannot have excellent mechanical properties and light diffusion properties, the invention provides a polyester master batch of the optical diffusion film, wherein carbon black, calcium carbonate, silicon dioxide microspheres and chopped glass fibers are adopted as combined diffusion particles in the master batch, and the polyester master batch is obtained by compounding the polyester master batch with a polyester substrate after surface modification, and the master batch is further fused and compounded with a pure polyester chip to prepare the optical diffusion film with high haze, uniform light transmission brightness and excellent mechanical properties, and is applied to the fields of LCD backlight modules, planar illumination and the like.
In order to achieve the above purpose, the invention adopts the following technical scheme:

The optical diffusion aid comprises white carbon black, silica microspheres, glass fibers, nano calcium carbonate and a surface treatment agent, wherein the white carbon black and the nano calcium carbonate can toughen and stiffen a base material, and the scattering and refraction effects of light rays in a polyester film are improved; the silica microspheres have larger particle size, and the light rays are further corrected into uniform area light sources by changing the transmission line of the light rays through reflection, scattering and refraction at the interface with the substrate; the glass fiber has a certain length-diameter ratio, so that the matrix material can be enhanced, and the other diffusion particles can be promoted to be uniformly dispersed in the matrix material, so that the refraction and reflection effects of light rays in the film can be improved. The surface treating agent modifies the surface properties of white carbon black, silica microspheres, nano calcium carbonate and glass fibers, improves the compatibility among diffusion particles, glass fibers and polyester, enhances the interfacial binding force among the diffusion particles, glass fibers and polyester, realizes the uniform dispersion of the optical diffusion aid in the polyester film, and achieves the effect of uniform light diffusion on a microscopic scale under the condition of high haze. The final product has high haze, uniform light transmission brightness and excellent mechanical properties through the combined action of multiple components.
The polyester comprises one or more than two of polyethylene terephthalate, polypropylene terephthalate and polybutylene terephthalate. When in use, the polyester needs to be dried and heat treated to remove water, and the water content is not more than 500ppm.
Preferably, the optical diffusion film master batch comprises the following raw material components in percentage by mass of 100 percent: 65-70% of polyester and 30-35% of optical diffusion auxiliary agent;
Considering the light transmittance, haze, thermal shrinkage, tensile property and the like of the optical diffusion film comprehensively, more preferably, the optical diffusion film master batch comprises the following raw material components in percentage by mass of 100 percent: 67% of polyester and 33% of optical diffusion auxiliary agent, and the obtained master batch is used for preparing an optical diffusion film with better comprehensive performance.
Preferably, the optical diffusion aid comprises the following raw material components in percentage by mass of 100 percent:
The modified white carbon black and the modified silica microspheres are products of the white carbon black and the silica microspheres modified by silane A; the modified glass fiber is a product of modifying glass fiber by silane B; the modified nano calcium carbonate is a product of modifying nano calcium carbonate by silane C;
The silane A comprises any one of bis- (gamma-triethoxysilylpropyl) tetrasulfide, gamma-mercaptopropyl trimethoxysilane and gamma-mercaptopropyl triethoxysilane;
the silane B comprises one of gamma-methacryloxypropyl trimethoxysilane, gamma-glycidoxypropyl trimethoxysilane, vinyl triethoxysilane and vinyl trimethoxysilane;
the silane C comprises gamma-aminopropyl triethoxysilane and/or gamma-aminopropyl trimethoxysilane.
One end of the silane A is a stronger polar group and is used for modifying the white carbon black and the silicon dioxide microspheres with high specific gravity, so that agglomeration among granular modified powder can be prevented; the hydrophobic end of the silane B used for modifying the glass fiber is a reactive group, so that the modified glass fiber, the modified white carbon black and the silica microspheres form chemical bonding, and the glass fiber isolation material is cooperated to uniformly disperse the modified mixed powder in the matrix resin in the film biaxial stretching process; the silane C is used for modifying nano calcium carbonate, and can further improve the compatibility effect between the nano calcium carbonate and the polyester substrate.
The specific steps of the modification process of the silica microsphere and the white carbon black through the silane A include: physically blending silane A with white carbon black and silica microspheres; the specific steps of the glass fiber modified by the silane B comprise: physically blending silane B with glass fibers; the specific steps of the modification process of the nano calcium carbonate by the silane C comprise: silane C was physically blended with nano calcium carbonate.
Preferably, the silane A accounts for 0.1 to 0.3 weight percent of the total mass of the white carbon black and the silica microspheres; the silane B accounts for 0.05 to 0.2 weight percent of the mass of the glass fiber; the silane C accounts for 0.1 to 0.2 weight percent of the mass of the nano calcium carbonate. The surface treating agent has the functions of modifying the surfaces of nano calcium carbonate, white carbon black, silica microspheres and glass fibers, improving the compatibility between modified particles and polyester base materials, but the single silane has poor effect, and silane A is used for improving the compatibility between the white carbon black and the silica microspheres, if the content of the silica microspheres is not improved or is insufficient, the compatibility between the modified particles and the polyester can not be improved; the excessively high proportion results in free silane A, which in turn affects the dispersibility of the modified glass fibers in the polyester film. Likewise, silane C is used for improving nano calcium carbonate, and if the content of the silane C is low, the modifying effect of the calcium carbonate can be reduced, so that the compatibility of the silane C with polyester is not improved; too high a ratio will also produce free silane C, reducing the dispersion of the modified glass fibers in the polyester film. Therefore, various silanes respectively modify other raw materials, and reasonably control the content of the silanes and the proportion of each component to effectively obtain the polyester master batch with excellent comprehensive performance.
The particle size of the white carbon black is 10-30 nanometers; the particle size of the silicon dioxide microsphere is 0.9-1.2 microns; the glass fiber comprises chopped alkali-free glass fiber, the diameter is 10-16 micrometers, and the length-diameter ratio is 12-15:1; the nano calcium carbonate is spindle-shaped and has the particle size of 60-80 nanometers.
The particle size of the nano calcium carbonate and the white carbon black is too small, so that particles are easy to agglomerate, the capability of light penetrating through the film is increased, and the scattering and refraction effects of light in the film are reduced; if the particle sizes of the calcium carbonate and the white carbon black particles are too large, the effect of toughening and reinforcing the matrix material cannot be achieved, the reflection and absorption effects of the film on light rays can be increased, and the transmittance of the light rays can be further reduced.
Preferably, the particle size range of the nano calcium carbonate is 65-75 nanometers, and the particle size range of the white carbon black is 14-20 nanometers.
The silica microspheres have too small particle size to change the transmission path of light, and the luminous flux is increased but the light is not uniformly spread over the whole surface of the film; if the particle size of the silica microspheres is too large, the blocking and reflection of the particles to light are enhanced, the refractive ratio of the particles to the interface of the substrate is reduced, and the uneven distribution of illumination intensity on the film surface light source is shown. Preferably, the silica microspheres have a particle size in the range of 1.05 to 1.15 microns.
The diameter of the glass fiber is too small, and particles such as calcium carbonate, white carbon black and silicon dioxide microspheres cannot be effectively pulled in the biaxially oriented process of the polyester film, so that the particles are not uniformly dispersed in the polyester film, and the refraction and reflection effects of the glass fiber on light rays in the film are weakened; too large a diameter tends to expose the surface of the mylar. Too small an aspect ratio of the glass fiber can not effectively enhance the tensile strength of the film, too large an aspect ratio can cause the fiber ends to be mutually stacked, affect the uniform dispersion of particles in the film, and simultaneously easily expose the surface of the polyester film. Preferably, the glass fibers have a diameter of 13 microns and an aspect ratio of 13:1.
The invention also provides a preparation method of the optical diffusion polyester master batch, which comprises the following steps:

in the step 2, the temperature of the mixed solution B and the glass fiber is 105-120 ℃ and the mixing time is 15 min-2 h;
In the step 3, the temperature of the mixed solution C and the nano calcium carbonate is 105-120 ℃ and the mixing time is 0.5-2 h.
Preferably, the mixed solution A is firstly mixed with the white carbon black and the silica microspheres at room temperature or 40-65 ℃ for 25-40 min, then the temperature is raised to 105-120 ℃ and the mixture is continuously mixed for 0.5-1 h; mixing the mixed solution B and the glass fiber at room temperature or 40-65 ℃ for 10-20 min, and continuously mixing for 30-60 min after the temperature is raised to 105-120 ℃; mixing the mixed solution C and nano calcium carbonate at room temperature or 40-65 ℃ for 40-50 min, and continuously mixing for 30-60 min after heating to 100-115 ℃; this ensures that the silane is fully contacted with the feed components and the modification is more uniform.
Further preferably, in the steps 1 to 4, the materials are mixed by a high-speed mixer, and the rotating speed is more than 1000 revolutions per minute; wherein the initial mixing temperature of inorganic raw materials such as silica microspheres, white carbon black, nano calcium carbonate and the like and silane is 40-65 ℃; the temperature of the melt blending granulation in the step 4 is 270-280 ℃, and the process can be carried out in a co-directional parallel double-screw extruder.

silane A, silane B or silane C5.5-11%;
75-88% of ethanol;
6.5 to 14 percent of water.
The pH value ranges of the mixed solution A, the mixed solution B and the mixed solution C are all 5.0-6.5. The pH value of the mixed solution of silane is adjusted by adding acid or alkali, such as acetic acid, sodium hydroxide and the like, and is too low, so that the mixed solution is easy to undergo condensation reaction in advance, and is not beneficial to further carrying out chemical reaction with inorganic particles; the pH value is too high, the product is unstable after the silane is hydrolyzed, and the method is not suitable for the requirement of industrial production.
Further preferably, the mixed solution A, the mixed solution B or the mixed solution C is respectively added into the silicon dioxide microspheres, the white carbon black, the nano calcium carbonate and the glass fiber in an atomizing spray mode, and the surface treatment agent is dispersed more uniformly and can be uniformly attached to the surfaces of modified particles or fibers due to the fact that the amount of the surface treatment agent is small.

The detection results are shown in Table 1.
Table 1 properties of optical diffusion films prepared in examples and comparative examples
From the results of the performance test obtained in table 1, examples 1-3 studied the influence of different silane treatment inorganic particles on the performance of the polyester film, and from the results, it can be seen that the prepared polyester film has balanced performance, haze of 100% and good effect of light correction into uniform surface light source by adopting silane a, silane B and silane C to treat white carbon black, silica microspheres, glass fibers and nano calcium carbonate respectively. In comparative example 5, however, the inorganic particles were directly added to the polyester film without being treated with the surface treatment agent, and various mechanical properties and optical properties of the polyester film were greatly reduced.
By observing examples 1, 4 and 5, it can be seen that the proportion of glass fibers and silica microspheres in the system is increased, the tensile strength and the light transmittance of the polyester film are improved, but the haze is reduced; the results of comparative examples 1 to 4 show that the absence of any auxiliary component results in a significant decrease in the mechanical and optical properties of the product.
Observing examples 1, 6 and 7, the addition amount of the optical diffusion film master batch in example 6 is reduced, and the elongation at break, the thermal shrinkage, the glossiness and the light transmittance of the polyester film are all improved, but the haze is obviously reduced; the amount of the optical diffusion film master batch added in example 7 was increased, and the obtained polyester film had high tensile strength, good dimensional stability, high haze, good optical diffusion effect, but decreased light transmittance and gloss.
In summary, the adoption of a proper surface treating agent to treat different inorganic particles and the addition amount of the master batch of the optical diffusion film respectively plays an important role in the performance of the polyester film, and the improper surface treatment of the inorganic particles or the lack of system components can lead to the reduction of the comprehensive performance of the product. The data in Table 1 show that the optical diffusion films obtained in examples 1-7 have good dimensional stability and higher haze and tensile strength, and can be applied to the fields of LCD backlight modules, planar illumination and the like to modify the light rays of the incident film into uniform surface light sources.
In the invention, any combination of the components within the dosage range defined by the invention can obtain the polyester film with the optical diffusion effect, such as polyester produced by different manufacturers, the change of the surface treatment agent type and the like, and the polyester film with the optical diffusion effect can be obtained. The concentration of the treating agent in the alcohol-water mixed solution of the surface treating agent has no strict requirement, so that the alcohol-water mixed solution is atomized mainly, the dosage and the proportion of the surface treating agent are within the limit range of the invention, the optical diffusion auxiliary agent is uniformly dispersed in the polyester film, and the compatibility and the binding force between the optical diffusion auxiliary agent and the polyester are improved. Thus, any combination within the amount range defined by the present invention is suitable for use in the present invention. And will not be described in detail herein.
