This application claims under 35 U.S.C. §119(a) the benefit of priority to Korean Patent Application Nos. 10-2014-0000864 and 10-2014-0195113 filed on Jan. 3, 2014; Dec. 31, 2014, respectively, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
(a) Technical Field
The present invention relates to a novel composite material which can replace a conventionally used metal material and includes an aramid composite, a production method thereof, and use of the composite material as a material for car tail trims based on reduced weight, high heat resistance and superior formability thereof.
(b) Background Art
In general, polyamide-based synthetic resins are classified into aliphatic polyamide and aromatic polyamide. Aliphatic polyamide is commonly referred to as the trade name “nylon” and aromatic polyamide is commonly referred to as the trade name “aramid”.
Of the aliphatic polyamides, nylon 6, nylon 6,6 and the like are used as the most general thermoplastic engineering plastic materials and are utilized in the fields including a variety of molding materials as well as fibers. Nylon resins used in the molding are produced into reinforced plastics by reinforcement with mineral or glass fibers in order to improve flame retardancy and impact resistance, reduce the price and enhance mechanical properties such as elasticity.
Aromatic polyamide so-called “aramid” developed in the 1960s for improving heat resistance of nylon which is an aliphatic polyamide and is well-known by the trade names such as NOMEX® and KEVLAR®. These aromatic polyamide materials have superior heat resistance and high tensile strength enough to be utilized in fiber applications such as flame retardant fiber fabrics and tire cords.
General aliphatic polyamide refers to a synthetic resin which contains aliphatic hydrocarbon bound between amide groups or a synthetic resin which contains 85% or greater of an aromatic ring such as a benzene ring between aramid groups. The aliphatic hydrocarbon of the aliphatic polyamide readily undergoes molecular motion when heat is applied thereto. Meanwhile, the benzene ring of aromatic polyamide does not readily move molecules even upon application of heat due to rigid molecular chains, and thus has great differences from general aliphatic polyamide because of heat stability and high elasticity.
Aromatic polyamides are classified into para-aramid and meta-aramid.
A representative example of para-aramid is KEVLAR® developed by Dupont. Para-aramid is an aramid in which a benzene ring bonds to an amide group at a para-position, which has very rigid molecular chains, has very excellent strength due to filiform structure and is highly capable of absorbing impact owing to high elasticity. Para-aramid has been used for bulletproof garments, bulletproof helmets, safety gloves or boots and fire fighting garments, for sports equipment materials such as tennis rackets, boats, hockey sticks, fishing lines and golf clubs, and for industrial applications such as fiber reinforced plastics (FRP) and asbestos replacement fibers.
Representative examples of meta-aramid are NOMEX® developed by DuPont and CONEX® developed by Teijin. Meta-aramid is an aramid in which a benzene ring is bonded to an amide group at a meta-position, which has similar strength and elongation to normal nylons, but has advantageously considerably high heat stability and low weight, and somewhat absorbs sweat, thus being fresh and pleasant as compared to other heat-resistant materials. At an early stage, meta-aramid was limited to only some colors, whereas at present, meta-aramid with a variety of colors including fluorescent color has been produced. Meta-aramid has been used for fire fighting garments, uniforms for racing drivers, astronaut uniforms and heat-resistant garment materials such as working clothes and industrial applications such as high-temperature filters.
Meanwhile, metallic vehicle materials (Korean Patent No. 10-0723630) have been conventionally used as vehicle materials, but these have a problem of low vehicle running fuel efficiency due to high weight.
In this regard, members containing glass fibers as main components, such as blends of polyethylene or polypropylene sheets with glass fibers, laminates of blends of natural fibers such as polypropylene fiber or hemp with glass fibers by needle punching, or polyurethane foams having glass fiber sheets bonded to opposite surfaces thereof, have been used as vehicle materials. The members using the glass fibers have excellent dimensional stability, rigidity and heat resistance, but have had problems associated with forming workability, eco-friendliness and recycling applicability (Korean Patent Laid-open No. 10-2006-0045364).
As another method, there have been some products using plastic composite materials with excellent rigidity or bubble sheets, or corrugated sheets or blow-structure lightweight plate materials such as blow-molded panels as base layers. However, when only the materials are applied to interior materials for vehicles such as luggage covers requiring high rigidity, desired rigidity cannot be satisfied and plates as finished products may be bent or broken upon use and cannot be used any more. In particular, although a plate material in which a plastic sheet is laminated and/or bonded in a predetermined thickness outside the base layer is intended to be designed using a bubble sheet, a corrugated sheet, or a blow-molded panel, including a space and a separator, as a base layer, when laminating and/or bonding the plastic sheet to an upper and/or lower part of the base layer, the upper and/or lower part of the plastic sheet is depressed inside the space due to the space of the base layer and many problems such as rough (irregular) adhesion or detachment upon use and thus unavailability occurs (Korean Patent No. 10-0779266).
In addition, vehicle materials containing a toxic compound such as phenol resin have had a problem of causing environmental contamination.
Thus, there is an urgent need for developing new materials which can replace metal materials.

The production method according to the present invention is simple and enables press forming with a lightweight material and thus has an effect of reducing process time.
Throughout this specification, “in formula represented by
R1 is independently a hydrogen atom, a methyl group or an ethyl group, and a is 1 to 3” may be described concerning a substituent. In this case, an expression “a is 3” means that a plurality of R1, that is, three R1 substituents are present. In addition, a plurality of R1 may be identical or different. In other words, all of R1 may be a hydrogen atom, a methyl group or an ethyl group, or R1 are each different, that is, one of R1 is a hydrogen atom, another one is a methyl group and the other is an ethyl group. In addition, the foregoing is an example for interpretation of substituents represented in the present invention and different forms of similar substituents should be also interpreted in the same manner as above.
Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail.
The highly heat-resistant composite material according to the present invention can be produced by preparing an aramid monomer, preparing a crude aramid liquid by polymerizing the aramid monomer by sol-gel reaction, coating partially or entirely an aramid fabric with the crude aramid liquid, and conducting lamination, pressing and drying.
First, a method of preparing the crude aramid liquid will be described in detail. The crude aramid liquid is prepared by preparing an aramid monomer represented by the following Formula 2 which is prepared by coupling one or more aromatic diamines represented by the following formula 1 and aromatic diacid chloride under the presence of a catalyst including one or more selected from calcium chloride and lithium chloride, and a solvent; preparing a crude aramid liquid containing an aramid polymer and the solvent by stirring the aramid monomer and the solvent to prepare a mixture and conducting sol-gel reaction at a temperature of 0° C. to 40° C. under the atmosphere of nitrogen (N2)
wherein R1 and R2 are each independently a C1-C5 alkyl group, preferably a C1-C2 alkyl group, and a and b are each independently an integer of 0 to 2, preferably an integer of 0 to 1. In addition, the aromatic diamine represented by Formula 1 is preferably meta-diamine.
The aromatic diacid chloride used for preparation of the aramid monomer functions to react with the aromatic diamine to constitute the aramid polymer. Any monomer for aramid polymers used in the art may be used as the aromatic diacid chloride without any limitation. The aromatic diacid chloride may preferably include one or more selected from the group consisting of trimesoyl chloride, naphthalene-2,7-dicarbonyl chloride, naphthalene-2,6-dicarbonyl chloride, isophthaloyl chloride and terephthaloyl chloride, more preferably isophthaloyl chloride and terephthaloyl chloride. In addition, the aromatic diacid chloride may be used in an amount of 95 to 105 parts by weight, preferably 98 to 102 parts by weight, with respect to 100 parts by weight of the aromatic diamine When the aromatic diacid chloride is used in an amount of less than 95 parts by weight, there may be problems of reduced yield and difficulty in securing sufficient molecular weights of polymers due to less solid content in the polymer. When the aromatic diacid chloride is used in an amount exceeding 105 parts by weight, there may be a problem of difficulty in obtaining homogeneous polymers.
In addition, in the preparation of the aramid monomer, the catalyst, the calcium chloride and/or lithium chloride functions to facilitate polymerization of the aromatic diamine and the aromatic diacid chloride. The catalyst may be used in an amount of 1 to 10 parts by weight, preferably 2 to 5 parts by weight, with respect to 100 parts by weight of the aromatic diamine. When the amount of used catalyst is less than 1 part by weight, an effect of improving solubility may be insufficient and when the amount of used catalyst exceeds 10 parts by weight, there may be a problem of less polymerization degree.
The method of preparing the crude aramid liquid may further include neutralizing hydrochloric acid produced as a by-product after sol-gel reaction.
Specifically, for example, as can be seen from the following Reaction Scheme 1, meta-phenylene diamine as aromatic diamine which can be used in the present invention reacts with terephthaloyl chloride (TPC) as aromatic diacid chloride to produce poly(metaphenylene isophthalamide) as a polymer and hydrochloric acid (HCl) as a by-product.
At this time, a step of neutralizing the obtained by-product, hydrochloric acid, is needed. This step is preferable for stability of the polymer composition. In this case, hydrochloric acid may be neutralized with a basic compound such as calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2) or lithium hydroxide (LiOH) as a neutralizing agent, as shown in the following Reaction Scheme 2.
HCl+Ca(OH)2→CaCl2+2H2O [Reaction Scheme 2]
The amount of added neutralizing agent during neutralization should be controlled according to the amount of used aromatic diamine or aromatic diacid chloride and is preferably equal to or 10% greater than the molar ratio of used aromatic diamine or aromatic diacid chloride.
In addition, the solvent used for preparation of the aramid monomer and preparation of the crude aramid liquid may be selected from solvents generally used in the art. The solvent preferably includes one or more selected from the group consisting of N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, dimethylformamide, dimethyl sulfide and dimethylacetamide.
In addition, the produced crude aramid liquid includes an aramid polymer which is a reaction product polymerized by sol-gel reaction and a solvent. The solvent may be present in an amount of 400 to 1,900 parts by weight, preferably 800 to 1,200 parts by weight, with respect to 100 parts by weight of the aramid polymer. In this case, when the content of the solvent is less than 400 parts by weight, there may be a problem of difficulty in obtaining homogenous polymers and when the content of the solvent exceeds 1,900 parts by weight, there may be problems of lowered yield and difficulty in securing sufficient molecular weights of polymers due to less solid content in the polymer. Thus, the solvent is preferably used within the range defined above.
The sol-gel reaction is preferably carried out at a temperature of 0° C. to 40° C. When the sol-gel reaction is carried out at a temperature below 0° C., the yield of aramid polymer may be excessively reduced and when the sol-gel reaction is carried out at a temperature greater than 40° C., there may be a problem of low formability of the produced composite material due to high polymerization degree, and physical properties such as tensile strength of the composite material may deteriorate. Thus, sol-gel reaction is preferably carried out at a temperature defined above. In addition, the aramid polymer produced by sol-gel reaction has a weight average molecular weight of 5,000 to 500,000, preferably a weight average molecular weight of about 100,000 to about 300,000.
In addition, during the preparation of crude aramid liquid, an inorganic substance may be further added to the crude aramid liquid after sol-gel reaction in order to improve physical properties of highly heat-resistant composite material. The inorganic substance may be selected from inorganic substances generally used in the art and, for example, one or more inorganic substances selected from the group consisting of glass fiber, SiO2, TiO2, graphene, carbon nanotube (CNT), carbon black and nanoclay may be mixed with the crude aramid liquid. At this time, the amount of used inorganic substance may be 0.1 to 20 parts by weight, preferably 1 to 10 parts by weight, with respect to 100 parts by weight of the crude aramid liquid. In this case, when the amount of used inorganic substance is less than 0.1 parts by weight, an effect of improving physical properties may be insufficient due to excessively reduced used amount and when the amount of used inorganic substance exceeds 20 parts by weight, there may be problems of coating non-uniformity due to increased viscosity of crude aramid liquid and increased production costs. Thus, the inorganic substance is preferably used within the amount defined above.
In addition, in order to improve physical properties of highly heat-resistant composite material, an additive such as catalyst, flame retardant or thermal stabilizer generally used in the art, in addition to the inorganic substance, may be further added to the crude aramid liquid.
The highly heat-resistant composite material may be prepared by a process including coating partially or entirely the aramid fabric with the crude aramid liquid prepared by the method described above, laminating and pressing the crude aramid liquid-coated aramid fabric, and drying the same. In addition, the pressing may further include hot forming
During the coating, the coating may be selected from general methods used in the art such as impregnation or application and any method may be used such that the crude aramid liquid can be sufficiently coated inside and/or outside of the aramid fabric.
The aramid fabric may use, as a material, a polymer obtained by polymerization of one or more selected from the group consisting of poly(meta-phenylene isophthalamide), 4,4-diaminodiphenylsulfone and 3,3-diaminodiphenylsulfone, without being limited thereto.
The polymer may be a polyamide in which an at least 85% amide bond (—CO—NH—) directly binds to two aromatic rings and may be used. In addition, another polymeric material, in an amount of about 10 wt % or less of polyamide, may be blended. In other words, about 10% of each of diamine of the aramid or diacid chloride of the aramid may be substituted by another substituent for polymerization. In addition, the polymer is preferably a meta-aramid, more preferably, a poly(meta-phenylene isophthalamide) polymer.
In addition, the aramid fabric may include an aramid fiber, preferably one or more selected from meta-aramid and para-aramid. In addition, the aramid fiber may be 1.0 D to 5.0 D (denier), preferably 2.0 D to 3.0 D (denier). In this case, when the aramid fiber has a fineness less than 1.0 denier, there may be problems of difficulty in making fabrics and reduced strength of fabrics, and when the aramid fiber has a fineness exceeding 5.0 denier, there may be a problem of difficulty in dipping a solution due to excessive thickness. In addition, the aramid fabric may be woven in a variety of forms which can be easily made by those skilled in the art, preferably one or more forms selected from plain weave, twill weave, satin weave and double weave, more preferably plain weave. When the aramid fabric is woven in the form of a plain weave, advantageously, the aramid fabric is thin, rigid and strong due to many woven marks, the solution easily permeates between woven fabrics, thus practical applicability, and various and modified fabrics can be obtained.
In addition, during the laminating and pressing, the crude aramid liquid-coated aramid fabric may be laminated in one or more layers, the number of layers is not particularly limited and the lamination may be suitably carried out in consideration of thickness and pressing process of the heat-resistant composite material to be produced.
In addition, the pressing may be carried out at a temperature of 300° C. or greater and at a pressure of 300 MPa or greater, preferably at a temperature of 300° C. to 400° C. and at a pressure of 300 MPa to 500 MPa.
In addition, after pressing and before drying, hot forming may be further performed. The highly heat-resistant composite material can be produced in a desired form by hot forming. In this case, hot forming is not particularly limited and may be carried out using a method generally used in the art. In a preferred embodiment, for forming a car tail trim, hot forming may be carried out at a temperature of 100° C. to 200° C. and at a 100 to 200 ton hydraulic press pressure for 30 to 120 seconds.
In addition, the drying may be carried out by heating at a temperature of 250° C. to 350° C., preferably 280° C. to 330° C. When the drying temperature is less than 250° C., the crude aramid liquid may be incompletely cured and there may be a problem of excessively long curing time and when the drying temperature exceeds 350° C., economic efficiency is less. Thus, the drying is preferably within the temperature range defined above.
The highly heat-resistant composite material of the present invention can be produced according to the method described above. When the produced highly heat-resistant composite material is applied to a material for car tail trims, an average thickness is not particularly limited and is preferably 1,000 μm to 2,000 μm, more preferably 1,200 μm to 1,800 μm.
Hereinafter, the present invention will be described with reference to examples in more detail. However, these examples are provided for illustration of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention.

Then, five pieces of the produced functional aramid composites were laminated and pressed with a calender roll to produce a composite material with a thickness of 1.0 mm as shown in the schematic view of
