DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a method for modifying crystalline polypropylene to improve crystallization rate, melt tension and stiffness. Crystalline polypropylene has superior transparency, rigidity, surface gloss, and heat resistance compared to other polyolefins, but its slow crystallization rate and low melt tension make it difficult to form in blow molding, inflation film molding, etc. Inferior. Known methods to improve this drawback include, for example, adding aluminum powder, talc, etc. to increase the crystallization rate, or adding high-pressure low-density polyethylene to increase the melt tension. This method has not yet been considered to be a satisfactory method, as impact strength is reduced, and the original transparency and surface gloss of polypropylene are impaired, and in the latter case, the original transparency and rigidity of polypropylene are reduced. On the other hand, when an organic peroxide is added to crystalline polypropylene and heat-treated, not only a crosslinking reaction occurs, but also polymer chain scission occurs, impairing the improvement of physical properties due to crosslinking. Therefore, a crosslinking aid is used in combination to stabilize polymer radicals. It is well known that the additives are used to prevent polymer chain scission and give priority to the crosslinking reaction (for example, Practical Handbook of Additives for Plastics and Rubber, published by Kagaku Kogyosha, pp. 896-897). However, the purpose of conventional crosslinking reactions was solely to form strong tertiary bonds and improve heat resistance, so there was no concept of secondary processing after crosslinking, and large amounts of organic peroxides and crosslinking aids were used. was used to achieve a high degree of crosslinking.
However, such highly crosslinked products have poor fluidity when melted, and secondary processing such as blow molding or inflation molding is often impossible. There was a risk that this would occur and damage the product value. Unlike the purpose of conventional crosslinking, the present inventors aim to improve the crystallization rate, melt tension and stiffness, without impairing the inherent transparency, surface gloss, mechanical properties and fluidity of polypropylene, and rather to improve the molding process. As a result of various studies aimed at improving the properties of polypropylene, we discovered that the above objective could be achieved by adding a specific amount of polypropylene organic peroxide and a crosslinking aid, which was much smaller than in conventional techniques, and heat-treating it at a specific temperature. The invention was completed. That is, in the present invention, 0.001 to 1 part by weight of organic peroxide and 0.001 to 1 part by weight of crosslinking agent are added and mixed to 100 parts by weight of polypropylene, and MFR 1 before heat treatment and MFR 2 after heat treatment are obtained. The present invention provides a method for modifying polypropylene characterized by heat treatment at 180°C to 350°C so that the ratio of 0.1≦MFR 2 /MFR 1 ≦10.
Polypropylene with excellent heat resistance, high crystallization rate, high melt tension, and improved rigidity can be obtained. The polypropylene used in the present invention is a crystalline polymer with high isotacticity, and is a homopolymer of propylene or a combination of propylene and α-olefin, such as ethylene, butene-1, hexene-1
Copolymers with propylene unit content such as
85mo1% or more), and preferably the intrinsic viscosity [η] measured at 135°C of the decalin solvent is 0.5 to
4.5 dl/g, particularly preferably in the range 0.8 to 4.0 dl/g. If [η] is larger than the above range, there is a risk that the moldability of polypropylene obtained by adding and mixing an organic peroxide and a crosslinking aid and heat treatment will be reduced, and if [η] is larger than the above range, A smaller size is not preferable because the polypropylene obtained by heat treatment will lack mechanical strength. Such polypropylene typically includes a solid titanium catalyst component that can be produced using a catalyst formed from a solid titanium catalyst component and an organometallic compound component, or a catalyst formed from both of these components and an electron donor. Typical examples include titanium trichloride or titanium trichloride compositions produced by various methods, or magnesium, halogen, an electron donor, preferably an aromatic carboxylic acid ester or an alkyl group-containing ether, or a silicon compound having a Si-OC bond. It is a supported titanium catalyst component which contains titanium as an essential component and preferably has a specific surface area of 100 m 2 /g or more. Particularly suitable is one produced using the latter supported catalyst component. As the organometallic compound component, organoaluminum compounds are suitable, such as trialkylaluminum, dialkylaluminum halide, alkyl aluminum sesquihalide, alkyl aluminum dihalide, etc., which are suitable depending on the type of titanium catalyst component. are also different. As the electron donor, the electron donor to be included in the solid titanium catalyst component described above, or an organic compound containing nitrogen, phosphorus, sulfur, oxygen, boron, etc., preferably an organic acid ester or a silicon compound having a Si-OC bond, Further, when the electron donor supported on the solid titanium catalyst component is a polyhydric carboxylic acid ester, it is particularly preferable to use a silicon compound having a Si--OC bond. Regarding the method for producing polypropylene using a supported catalyst component, for example, JP-A-50-108385 and JP-A-108385;

If the amount of organic peroxide added is less than 0.001 part by weight, the effect of improving the crystallization rate will be small, and if it exceeds 1 part by weight, three-dimensional crosslinking will occur and a large amount of gel will be generated, which may reduce mechanical strength. There is. Furthermore, if the amount of the crosslinking aid added is less than 0.001 part by weight, the polypropylene will undergo thermal decomposition, the molecular weight will decrease, the crystallization rate will not be improved, and there is also a risk that the mechanical strength will decrease. The amount of the crosslinking aid may be 0.1 to 100 times the amount of the organic peroxide added, and if it is used in an amount exceeding 1 part by weight per 100 parts by weight of polypropylene, unreacted substances may be present in the composition. This is not preferred because the crosslinking aid remains. The organic peroxide to be added and mixed into the composition is preferably one having a decomposition temperature in the range of 150 to 270°C at which the half-life is 1 minute, and specifically, organic peroxides,
Organic peresters such as benzoyl peroxide, dichlorobenzoyl peroxide, dicumyl peroxide, di-tert-butyl peroxide,
2,5-dimethyl-2,5-di(peroxybenzoate)hexyne-3,1,4-bis(tert-
butylperoxyisopropyl)benzene, lauroylperoxide, tert-butylperacetate, 2,5-dimethyl-2,5-di(tert-butylperoxy)hexyne-3,2,5-dimethyl-2,5-di(tert- butyl peroxy)hexane, tert-butyl perbenzoate, tert-butyl perphenyl acetate, tert-butyl perisobutyrate, tert-butyl per-sec-octoate, tert-butyl perpivalate, cumyl perpivalate and tert- Butyl perdiethyl acetate is mentioned. Among these, dicumyl peroxide,
tert-butyl peroxide, 2,5-dimethyl-
2,5-di(tert-butylperoxy)hexane-3,2,5-dimethyl-2,5-di(tert-butylperoxy)hexane, 1,4-bis(tert-butylperoxy)hexane
Dialkyl peroxides such as -butylperoxyisopropyl)benzene are preferred. Further, specific examples of crosslinking aids used in combination with organic peroxides include ethylene glycol dimethacrylate, polyethylene glycol dimethacrylate, and Acrylate compounds such as bifunctional acrylates represented by, allyl compounds such as triallyl cyanurate and triallylisocyanurate, maleimide compounds such as phenylmaleimide,
Quinonedioxime compounds such as p,p-dibenzoylquinonedioxime, other 1,3,5-triacryloylhexahydro-s-triazine,
Divinylbenzene is mentioned. In addition, if the heat treatment temperature is less than 180℃, the crosslinking reaction of polypropylene will not occur sufficiently, making it impossible to obtain polypropylene with excellent crystallization rate, melt tension, and rigidity. This results in inferior polypropylene. The time required for heat treatment is based on the melt flow rate (MFR:
Although it varies depending on ASTM D 1238L), it is usually about 1 to 10. Furthermore, MFR 1 before heat treatment and after heat treatment
By performing heat treatment so that the ratio with MFR 2 is in the range of 0.1≦MFR 2 /MFR 1 ≦10, preferably 0.1≦MFR 2 /MFR 1 ≦7, further crystallization can be achieved without reducing mechanical strength. It is preferable because the speed is fast, the melt tension is large, the rigidity is excellent, and the extrudable product has a good texture. Various known methods can be used to mix the polypropylene, organic peroxide, and crosslinking aid. For example, polypropylene granules, powder or liquid organic peroxide, and crosslinking aid are mixed using a Henschel mixer, v. A method of mixing in a blender or the like and heat-treating with a kneader, Banbury mixer, single screw extruder, or twin screw extruder, or adding a powder or liquid organic peroxide and a crosslinking aid to a melt-kneaded polypropylene mixture as described above. Examples include a method of heat treatment using a method. When modifying polypropylene by the method of the present invention, antioxidants, ultraviolet absorbers, lubricants, antistatic agents, flame retardants, pigments, dyes, inorganic or organic fillers are added at any stage of the mixing. Various additives such as these can be added. The polypropylene obtained by the method of the present invention has a faster crystallization rate, higher melt tension, and superior rigidity than polypropylene obtained directly by conventional polymerization methods, and there is no decrease in transparency or fluidity. It is particularly suitable for blow molding, inflation film molding, and injection molding, but it is not limited to these moldings, but can also be used to produce various films, sheets, hollow containers, cups, etc. by T-die molding, extrusion molding, thermoforming, etc.
