Modification and Application of Polypropylene Plastics 1. Polypropylene occupies an important position in the production of synthetic resins and develops rapidly. Polypropylene is an important product among the five general-purpose synthetic resins. It has developed rapidly both at home and abroad. In the world's five synthetic resins for plastics, the production of polypropylene accounts for about 1/4 of the total. The total production capacity of the world's five most common synthetic resins is expected to reach 190 million tons in 2006, of which 48.78 million tons of polypropylene, accounting for the total 25.6% of capacity [1]. In 2004, China's production of polypropylene resin was 4,748,800 tons, imports were 2.914 million tons, and exports were 15,300 tons, and its apparent consumption was 7.647 million tons, accounting for 25.9% of the total apparent consumption of the five largest general-purpose resins in the country in the same year. . It is estimated that by 2010, the apparent consumption of polypropylene resin in China will increase to 10.8 million tons, which is an increase of more than 40% from 2004. Table 1 lists the location and capacity of the recently launched and under construction polypropylene units.

Synthetic polymer materials are divided into synthetic resin, synthetic rubber and synthetic fiber according to the three major uses of plastics, rubbers and fibers. Among them, the synthetic resins used in plastics account for the largest proportion, accounting for the total amount of synthetic materials. /3 or more. Plastics: A material that contains synthetic resin as the main component, a suitable amount of fillers, additives, and pigments, and that can be flow-molded during processing. Thermoplastic: A plastic that repeatedly softens and cools hardened plastics within a specific temperature range. Thermosetting Plastics: Plastics that become infusible, insoluble materials after the first molding. General Plastics: refers to plastics that have a large volume of production, a wide range of uses, good molding process performance, and relatively inexpensive prices. The plastics based on the five general-purpose resins are polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polystyrene (PS), and acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer (ABS). . Engineering Plastics: Plastics that have high performance and can be used as engineering structural parts. Engineering plastics are divided into general engineering plastics and special engineering plastics. The former include polyamide (PA), polyoxymethylene (POM), polyester (PET and PBT), polycarbonate (PC), and modified polyphenylene ether (MPPO). The operating temperature is generally below 150°C, while the special engineering plastics refer to engineering plastics that use temperatures above 150°C, such as PSF, PPS, PI, Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and so on. 1.2 Types and Characteristics of Polypropylene (PP) 2.2.1 Basic Concept of Polypropylene Polypropylene is a high-molecular polymer obtained by addition polymerization of propylene (CH3-CH=CH2) as a monomer. The reaction characteristic is instantaneously completed, and second, there is no accompanying compound of small molecules. produce. High molecular weight crystalline PP can be obtained using a Ziegler-Natta catalyst. According to the rules of the arrangement of -CH3 groups in space, PP is classified into three isotactic, syndiotactic and random polymers. Only a highly isotactic PP can produce a good crystalline area to have the excellent properties we need. Isotactic polypropylene has five crystal forms α, β, γ, δ and quasi-hexagonal. The most common is the α-crystalline state, which is monoclinic. The α crystalline state is formed around 138°C, and its melting point is 180°C. The proposed hexagonal state is also called a secondary crystal structure, also called a butterfly-like liquid crystal. When the isotactic PP in the molten state is quenched to 70°C or less, or cold-stretched below 70°C, pseudo-hexagonal crystals are formed. Embroidery is a general term for various decorative patterns embroidered on fabrics by needle and thread. Embroidery is divided into silk embroidery and feather embroidery. It is a kind of decorative fabric that uses a needle to puncture silk thread or other fibers and yarns with certain patterns and colors on the embroidered materials, and then forms the decorative pattern with the embroidery trace. It is the art of adding human design and production to any fabric that exists with needles and threads. Embroidery is one of the traditional Chinese folk crafts, which has a history of at least two or three thousand years in China. Chinese embroidery mainly includes Suzhou embroidery, Hunan embroidery, Shu embroidery and Guangdong embroidery. Embroidery techniques include: wrong needle embroidery, random needle embroidery, net embroidery, all over embroidery, lock silk, nasi, Najin, Pingjin, Yingjin, Panjin, fluting, scraping, poking, sprinkling, cross stitch, etc. the main uses of embroidery include life and art decoration, such as clothing, bedding, tablecloth, stage, art decoration.

Of the new production capacity announced, Sinopec has 2.53 million tons/year and PetroChina 1.35 million tons/year, and most of the project's production capacity is more than 300,000 tons, reaching a world-class scale. After all of these devices are put into operation, Sinopec's polypropylene production capacity will surpass Basell's and leap to the top of the world, and PetroChina will also be ranked in the top five. By then, China will become the largest producer of polypropylene resin in the world. According to another report, the output of polypropylene resin in China was only 1,073,500 tons in 1995, reaching 5,229,500 tons in 2005, with an average annual increase of 38.7%. The apparent consumption also increased from 2,219,200 tons to 8,233,000 tons in the same period. It has increased by 28.7%, becoming the fastest growing consumer of polypropylene worldwide[2].
