    Use of a prepolymer in transparent thermoplastic compositions, compositions comprising them and their uses
    The present invention relates to the use of prepolymers in thermoplastic compositions comprising a matrix of at least one semi-crystalline transparent polyamide to improve the kinetics of crystallization and to reduce warpage over a prepolymer-free composition while retaining or improving the transparency properties (transmittance and Haze) as well as the mechanical properties of said composition without reducing its mechanical properties such as shock, module or Rossflex. The invention also relates to the compositions comprising the prepolymers as well as their use for extrusion or injection, in particular for the manufacture of articles obtained by extrusion, injection, in particular for the manufacture of sports shoes, especially footwear. football, ski boots or running, or compression molding. The invention also relates to a process for the preparation of said compositions and a method for manufacturing said sports articles as well as the articles obtained by said method.
    Thermoplastic compositions based on polyamide are raw materials that can be processed by extrusion, molding or injection, in particular by injection molding to manufacture plastic parts.
    There are several major properties that are desired for these polyamide-based compositions, especially when used in these transformation processes. One of these properties lies in the fact that these thermoplastic compositions used must be characterized by a high transparency which then requires the use of a nucleating agent to help crystallize and avoid post-molding warpage.
    Nucleating agents such as talc are already known, in particular in patent applications US 2013/0150515 and EP2843726. Nevertheless, nucleating agents such as talc have the disadvantage of diffusing light in the polyamides and thus adversely affect the transparency of the composition. To limit this diffusion, the levels of nucleating agent to be used lead to dimensional instability in annealing (warping) due to the fact that the composition does not crystallize sufficiently during the injection process.
    The present invention overcomes the disadvantages of the prior art. In particular, the invention achieves faster crystallization kinetics and decreased warpage while improving or retaining excellent transparency properties (transmittance and Haze) as well as mechanical properties such as impact, modulus or Rossflex.
    This has been achieved by using a prepolymer in a composition comprising a transparent semi-crystalline polyamide.
    It has been found that the use of said prepolymer significantly accelerates the crystallization and decreases the warping of the semi-crystalline transparent polyamide composition while improving or at least maintaining the properties of transparency (transmittance and Haze) as well as preserving (or even by improving) the mechanical properties thereof.
    The present invention relates to the use of at least one prepolymer in a composition comprising: a matrix consisting of at least one semi-crystalline transparent polyamide, and optionally at least one additive, for improving the kinetics of crystallization and reducing the distortion of said composition while maintaining or improving its transparency properties as well as its mechanical properties, compared to the same prepolymer-free composition, said composition being free of nucleating agent.
    The transparency of a material is defined according to two main criteria: the transmittance corresponding to the light transmission coefficient measured at a wavelength of 560 nm and for a plate thickness of 1 or 2 mm, in particular 2 mm according to the ISO standard 13468-2: 2006, and Haze determined according to D1003-97 (C).
    Haze or haze means a surface dullness, a haze, sail, "fog," or fogging effect on the surface of the material. This effect is also known as Anglo-Saxon "fogging". This effect can alter the transparency, the aesthetic appearance and the brightness of the surface of the object made of said material. The expression "semi-crystalline transparent polyamide" within the meaning of the invention refers to transparent polyamides which have a melting point (Tf) and a melting enthalpy AH> 10 J / g and a glass transition temperature (Tg ) as determined by DSC according to ISO 11357-1: 2009 and ISO 11357-2 and 3: 2013, at a heating rate of 20K / min.
    Advantageously, the semicrystalline transparent polyamide has a transmittance greater than or equal to 75% as measured at a wavelength of 560 nm and for a plate thickness of 2 mm according to the ISO 13468-2: 2006 standard.

    Advantageously, the dicarboxylic acid may be chosen from linear aliphatic dicarboxylic acids, cycloaliphatic dicarboxylic acids and aromatic dicarboxylic acids.

    It is obvious that the copolyamide may comprise more than two distinct repeating units and in particular three then having the formula A / X.Y / Z in which Z is a similar pattern but different from A or a similar pattern but different from X.Y.
    The semi-crystalline transparent polyamide may also be a mixture of semi-crystalline polyamide and amorphous polyamide provided that it has a melting point, a melting enthalpy AH> 10 J / g, with a heating rate of 20 K / min, as well as a glass transition temperature as determined by DSC according to ISO 11357-1: 2009 and 11357-2 and 3: 2013, at a heating rate of 20K / min.
    Advantageously, said semi-crystalline transparent mixture may also be a mixture of semi-crystalline polyamide and amorphous polyamide and has a transmittance greater than or equal to 75% as measured at a wavelength of 560 nm and for a plate thickness. 2 mm according to ISO 13468-2: 2006.
    For the purposes of the invention, semi-crystalline polyamide is generally understood to mean linear aliphatic polyamides whose crystallinity is manifested by the presence of spherulites of sufficiently large size for the material to have a transmittance of less than 75% at 560 nm over plate 2 mm thick (according to ISO 13468-2: 2006).
    Mention may be made, for example, of aliphatic polyamides which are of formula A or X.Y as defined above, as well as the other polyamides provided that they are semi-crystalline.
    For the purposes of the invention, the term "amorphous polyamides" is intended to mean amorphous transparent polyamides having a melting enthalpy of not more than 3J / g, preferably not more than 1 J / g as determined during the second heating in DSC according to 11357-3: 2013 at a heating rate of 20K / min. As regards the amorphous polyamide: it essentially results from the condensation: at least one diamine chosen from cycloaliphatic diamines and aliphatic diamines and from at least one chosen diacid, from cycloaliphatic diacids, aliphatic diacids and diacids at least one of these diamino or diacid units being cycloaliphatic, either of a cycloaliphatic alpha omega amino carboxylic acid, or of a combination of these two possibilities, and optionally of at least one monomer chosen from alpha acids. omega amino carboxylic acids or any corresponding lactams, aliphatic diacids and aliphatic diamines,
    The cycloaliphatic diamines are as defined above.
    It would not be departing from the scope of the invention if a PEBA was mixed with said homopolyamide, copolyamide or mixture thereof or else with a semi-crystalline polyamide or amorphous polyamide or with said mixture of semi-crystalline polyamide and amorphous polyamide. With regard to PEBA:
    It results from the copolycondensation of polyamide sequences with reactive ends with polyether sequences with reactive ends, such as, inter alia: 1) Polyamide sequences with diamine chain ends with polyoxyalkylene sequences with dicarboxylic chain ends. 2) Polyamide sequences with dicarboxylic chain ends with polyoxyalkylene sequences with diamine chain ends obtained by cyanoethylation and hydrogenation of aliphatic dihydroxylated polyoxyalkylene aliphatic sequences called polyether diols. 3) Polyamide sequences with dicarboxylic chain ends with polyetherdiols, the products obtained being, in this particular case, polyetheresteramides. The copolymers (C) are advantageously of this type. The polyamide sequences with dicarboxylic chain ends result, for example, from the condensation of alpha-omega-aminocarboxylic acids, lactams or dicarboxylic and diamine diacids in the presence of a dicarboxylic acid chain-limiting agent.
    The molar mass in number of the polyamide blocks is between 300 and 15,000 and preferably between 600 and 5,000.
    Mn polyether sequences is between 100 and 6000 and preferably between 200 and 3000.
    Polymers with polyamide blocks and polyether blocks may also comprise randomly distributed units. These polymers can be prepared by the simultaneous reaction of the polyether and the precursors of the polyamide blocks.
    For example, polyetherdiol, a lactam (or an alpha-omega amino acid) and a chain-limiting diacid can be reacted in the presence of a little water. A polymer having essentially polyether blocks, polyamide blocks of very variable length, but also the various reagents reacted randomly are obtained which are distributed statistically along the polymer chain.
    These polymers with polyamide blocks and polyether blocks, whether they come from the copolycondensation of previously prepared polyamide and polyether blocks or from a one-step reaction, have, for example, Shore D durations which can be between 20 and 75 and advantageously between 30 and 75. and 70 and intrinsic viscosity between 0.8 and 2.5 measured in meta-cresol at 25 ° C for an initial concentration of 0.8 g / 100 ml. The MFI can be between 5 and 50 (235 ° C under a load of 1 kg)
    The polyetherdiol blocks are either used as such and copolycondensed with polyamide blocks having carboxylic ends, or they are aminated to be converted into polyether diamines and condensed with polyamide blocks having carboxylic ends. They can also be mixed with polyamide precursors and a chain limiter to make the polyamide block and polyether block polymers having statistically distributed patterns. With regard to the nucleating agent
    By nucleating agent is meant: an inorganic nucleating agent, such as, for example, a metal oxide, metal particles, silica, alumina, clay or talc; an organic nucleating agent, such as an additional polyamide having a melting temperature (Tf2) higher than the melting temperature (Tfi) of the polyamide to be nucleated, in particular a melting temperature Tf2> TU + 20 ° C, the PA 6.6 or polyphthalamides being preferred; a mixture of the above agents.
    Throughout the description, it should be noted that the prepolymer is not a nucleating agent and is therefore excluded from nucleating agents, particularly as defined above. With regard to the prepolvmer
    The term "prepolymer" refers to oligomers of polyamides necessarily of number average molecular weight less than that of the polyamides used in the matrix, in particular said prepolymer with a number average molecular weight of from 1000 to 15000 g / mol.
    The prepolymer may be chosen from oligomers of linear or branched aliphatic polyamides, oligomers of cycloaliphatic polyamides, oligomers of semi-aromatic polyamides, oligomers of aromatic polyamides, linear or branched aliphatic polyamides, cycloaliphatic and semi-aromatic polyamides. aromatics having the same definition as above.
    The prepolymer may also be a copolyamide oligomer or a mixture of oligomers of polyamides and copolyamide.
    For example, the prepolymer is monofunctional NH2, monofunctional CO2H or difunctional CO2H.
    The prepolymer can therefore be mono or difunctional, acidic and / or amine, that is to say it has a single amine or acid terminal function, when it is monofunctional (in this case the other end is non-functional). , especially CH3), or two terminal amine functions or two acid terminal functions or an acid terminal function and an amine terminal function, when it is difunctional.
    It can also be non-functional at both endings, including diCH3.
    It should be noted that the prepolymer is added to said polyamide only in order to accelerate the crystallization and not to improve the overmolding when said polyamide is overmolded in particular with a thermoplastic polyurethane. With regard to additives
    The composition may also comprise at least one additive chosen from impact modifiers, core-shell modifiers, antistatic fillers, lubricants, dyes, pigments, brighteners, antioxidants, flame retardants, fibers, in particular aramid fibers, glass fibers, carbon fibers, advantageously glass fibers, fillers, in particular silica, graphite, expanded graphite, carbon black, glass beads, kaolin , magnesia, slags, wollastonite, nanofillers (carbon nanotubes) and stabilizers.
    It should be noted that the composition after adding the additives must retain its transparency properties.
    The usual stabilizers used with polymers are phenols, phosphites, UV absorbers, stabilizers of HALS (Hindered Amine Light Stabilizer) type, metal iodides, etc. Examples include Irganox 1010, 245, 1098, Mrgafos 168, Tinuvin 312, Iodide P201 from Ciba.
    By the term "impact modifier" is meant a polyolefin-based polymer having a flexural modulus of less than 100 MPa measured according to ISO 178: 2010 and Tg of less than 0 ° C (measured according to standard 11357-2). at the inflection point of the DSC thermogram), in particular a polyolefin, coupled or not with a Peba having a flexural modulus <200 MPa.
    The impact modifier polyolefin may be functionalized or non-functionalized or be a mixture of at least one functionalized and / or at least one non-functionalized.
    In particular, some or all of the polyolefins carry a functional group chosen from carboxylic acid, carboxylic anhydride and epoxide functions, and is in particular chosen from an ethylene-propylene copolymer with an elastomeric nature (EPR), an ethylene-propylene copolymer with an elastomeric nature (EPDM) and an ethylene / alkyl (meth) acrylate copolymer, a higher ethylene-alkene copolymer, in particular an ethylene-octene copolymer, an ethylene-alkyl acrylate-maleic anhydride terpolymer.
    Advantageously, the impact modifier is chosen from F493, a Lotader®, in particular Lotader 5500 or Lotader 7500, VA1803, or a mixture of these, in this case they are in a ratio of 0.1 / 99.9 to 99.9 / 0.1, preferably 1/2 to 2/1 when in a mixture of two. By way of example, the impact modifier is chosen from the following mixtures: F493 / Lotader®, in particular F493 / Lotader® 5500 or F493 / Lotader® 7500. The expression "core-shell modifier" is also designated " core-shell copolymer ".
    The "core-shell type modifier" is in the form of fine particles having an elastomer core and at least one thermoplastic shell, the particle size is generally less than 1 μm and advantageously between 150 and 500 nm.
    The "core-shell type modifier has an acrylic or butadiene base, in contrast to the impact modifier which has a polyolefin base. By way of example of a core, mention may be made of homopolymers of isoprene or butadiene, copolymers of isoprene with at most 30 mol% of a vinyl monomer and copolymers of butadiene with at most 30 mol% of a vinyl monomer. The vinyl monomer may be styrene, alkylstyrene, acrylonitrile or an alkyl (meth) acrylate. Another core family is homopolymers of an alkyl (meth) acrylate and copolymers of an alkyl (meth) acrylate with at most 30 mol% of a vinyl monomer. The alkyl (meth) acrylate is advantageously butyl acrylate. The vinyl monomer may be styrene, alkylstyrene, acrylonitrile, butadiene or isoprene. The core of the copolymer (A) may be crosslinked in whole or in part. It suffices to add at least difunctional monomers during the preparation of the core, these monomers may be chosen from poly (meth) acrylic esters of polyols such as butylene di (meth) acrylate and trimethylol propane trimethacrylate. Other difunctional monomers are, for example, divinylbenzene, trivinylbenzene, vinyl acrylate and vinyl methacrylate. The core may also be cross-linked by grafting or as a comonomer during the polymerization, unsaturated functional monomers such as unsaturated carboxylic acid anhydrides, unsaturated carboxylic acids and unsaturated epoxides. Mention may be made, for example, of maleic anhydride, (meth) acrylic acid and glycidyl methacrylate. The bark or barks are homopolymers of styrene, alkylstyrene or methyl methacrylate or copolymers comprising at least 70 mol% of one of these monomers and at least one comonomer selected from the other monomers above , vinyl acetate and acrylonitrile. The bark may be functionalized by introducing, by grafting or as comonomer during the polymerization, unsaturated functional monomers such as unsaturated carboxylic acid anhydrides, unsaturated carboxylic acids and unsaturated epoxides. Mention may be made, for example, of maleic anhydride, (meth) acrylic acid and glycidyl methacrylate. By way of example, mention may be made of core-shell copolymers (A) having a polystyrene bark and core-shell copolymers (A) having a PMMA bark. There are also core - bark copolymers (A) with two barks, one made of polystyrene and the other outside PMMA. Examples of copolymer (A) as well as their method of preparation are described in the following patents: US 4,180,494, US 3,808,180, US 4,096,202, US 4,260,693, US 3,287,443, US 3,657,391, US 4,299,928, US 3,985,704.
    The "core-shell type modifier is therefore different from the polyolefin of the impact modifier and in particular that the impact modifier reacts with the polyamide matrix while the core-shell does not react with it because the heart of the latter is likely to react only with the bark of this one.
    The Applicant has therefore surprisingly found that the use of a prepolymer in a semi-crystalline transparent polyamide composition makes it possible to improve the kinetics of crystallization and to reduce the warpage of said composition while preserving or improving its transparency properties. (transmittance and haze) as well as its mechanical properties (impact as determined according to ISO 179-1: 2010 eA, modulus as determined according to ISO 178: 2010 and rossflex), compared to the same composition without prepolymer, said composition being by elsewhere devoid of nucleating agent.
    The prepolymer therefore accelerates the crystallization of the semi-crystalline transparent polyamide without disturbing the transparency, which allows said composition to have a better dimensional stability with a prepolymer than without a prepolymer or with a nucleating agent, at a rate which makes it possible to preserve the transparency> 75% in 2 mm. Indeed, in the absence of prepolymer without nucleating agent the composition continues to crystallize during a heat treatment and in particular during decoration which induces a warping.
    In the presence of the only nucleating agent the crystallization is accelerated but the nucleating agent has a negative impact on the optical properties of the semi-crystalline transparent polyamide. When the nucleating agent is introduced at a rate which makes it possible to retain the transparency> 75% in 2 mm, the composition then continues to crystallize during a heat treatment and in particular during the decoration which induces a warping.
    It should be noted that the composition of the invention comprising the semi-crystalline transparent polyamide and the prepolymer has the same transparency as said semi-crystalline transparent polyamide, and whether said composition comprises an additive or not.
    Advantageously, the composition with which said prepolymer is used, as defined above, comprises: said matrix consisting of said at least one semicrystalline transparent polyamide in a proportion of 60 to 99.95% by weight, in particular 55 to 99 95%; said prepolymer in a proportion of from 0.05% to 20% by weight, the proportion by weight of polyamide and that of prepolymer being respectively from 60 to 99.9% and from 40 to 0.1%, relative to the sum semi-crystalline transparent polyamide -prepolymer; and said additive in proportion by weight of 0 to 20%, the sum of the semi-crystalline transparent polyamide, the prepolymer and optionally the additive, being equal to 100%.
    Throughout the description, all percentages of the various constituents of the composition, unless otherwise indicated, are by weight.
    Advantageously, said matrix defined above consists of at least one transparent semi-crystalline homopolyamide, in particular said semi-crystalline transparent homopolyamide has a transmittance of greater than or equal to 75% as measured at a wavelength of 560 nm and for a plate thickness of 2 mm according to ISO 13468-2: 2006.
    Advantageously, said semi-crystalline transparent homopolyamide is of formula XY, in particular chosen from P.sub.10, B.sub.10, P.sub.12, B.sub.12, MXD.6, MXD.10, PXD.10, MXD.12 and PXD.12.
    Advantageously, said matrix defined above consists of at least one semi-crystalline transparent copolyamide, in particular said semi-crystalline transparent copolyamide has a transmittance greater than or equal to 75% as measured at a wavelength of 560 nm and for a plate thickness of 2 mm according to ISO 13468-2: 2006.
    Advantageously, said semi-crystalline transparent copolyamide is of formula A / X. Y.
    Advantageously, the molar proportion of repeating unit A in said transparent semi-crystalline copolyamide of formula A / X.Y is from 91% to less than 100%. Therefore, the mole content of repeat unit X.Y is less than or equal to 9%.
    Indeed, it is observed that from 91% mole content of repeating unit A in A / XY copolyamide, the repeating units A and XY being as defined above, the rigidity, transparency and fatigue are reached regardless of the processing conditions. In particular, the implementation by molding is quite satisfactory: no warpage ("warpage" in English) of the molded mass is observable. For a mole content of less than 91%, it is observed on the contrary that the copolyamide no longer responds to the fatigue test "Ross Flex".
    Advantageously, the unit A in a proportion of from 95% to less than 100% by mole and the X.Y unit in a proportion of from more than 0 to less than 5% by mole.
    Advantageously, the repeating unit A in said transparent semi-crystalline copolyamide of formula A / XY is a PA11 or PA12, the XY unit being a homopolyamide comprising a cycloaliphatic diamine, in particular the XY unit is chosen from Bl (I corresponding to isophthalic acid), B. 10, P.10, B.12, P.12.
    Advantageously, said semi-crystalline transparent copolyamide is of formula A / X.Y / Z.W in which A and X.Y are as defined above and Z.W are as defined for X.Y with the proviso that Z.W is different from X.Y.
