The present invention relates to organosilane and / or organosiloxane-containing surfactant modification agents, including their use in the preparation of filled polyamide compounds. Furthermore, the present invention relates to surface-modified fillers, polyamides filled therewith and articles based thereon.
It is known to incorporate fillers in polymers. One reason for this is the cost savings. Part of the expensive polymer can be replaced by inexpensive extender filler. Another reason is the targeted modification of mechanical properties of the polymer. The filler then becomes a functional filler. The mechanical properties, such as tensile strength and flexural strength, of z. B. filled polyamide compounds (hereinafter referred to as PA compound) can thus be sustainably improved.
To achieve higher filling levels aminosilanes such. B. DYNASYLAN® AMEO, used (US Pat. No. 3,843,591, EP 0 136 540 B1). A disadvantage is the poor toughness of a PA compound produced using an aminopropyltrialkoxysilane. A typical PA compound contains two completely different basic components: an inorganic mineral and an organic polymer. The inorganic mineral is generally hydrophilic and has an ionic structure. The organic polymer is usually rather hydrophobic and has a covalent structure. Both basic components have different coefficients of expansion, surface tensions, bending strengths, etc. The greatest incompatibility is at the interface of the inorganic and organic components. This is usually the weak point of a filled PA compound. A modification of the interface with aminoalkoxysilanes leads to a bonding bridge and thus to an increase in the strength of the PA compound. Although many mechanical properties are improved by the aminosilane, this does not apply to impact properties.
German patent application 199 08 636.2 discloses water-based compositions of special amino-functional silicon compounds, inter alia so-called "bis-aminosilanes", which can be used, for example, for the modification of glass and mineral fiber surfaces and for the surface modification and treatment of pigments.
EP 0 518 057 B1 discloses blends of vinyl / alkyl / alkoxy group containing siloxanes used as crosslinking agents for thermoplastic polyolefins. Mixtures of aminopropyl / alkoxy / alkyl-functional siloxane oligomers are disclosed in German Patent Application 198 49 308.8, the mixtures being used inter alia as adhesion promoters in filled thermoplastic compounds, in the coating of glass fibers and for the silanization of fillers and pigments ,
European patent applications EP 0 716 127 A2, EP 0 716 128 A2 and EP 0 832 911 A1 disclose water-based organopolysiloxane-containing compositions which are essentially prepared by mixing water-soluble aminoalkylalkoxysilanes, optionally glycidyl ether and methacryloxyalkylalkoxysilanes with non-water-soluble alkylsilanes and subsequent acid-catalyzed hydrolysis or. Cocondensation with removal of the hydrolysis alcohol are available. Also such compositions can be used for the coating of glass fibers as well as for the silanization of fillers and pigments.
German Patent Application 198 18 923.0 relates to stable compositions of water-soluble amino and alkenyl-functional organosiloxanes, their preparation and use for modifying the properties of pigments and fillers, such as alumina, magnesia, silica, chalk, gypsum, heavy, glass fibers, glass beads, carbon black, Wollastonite, kaolin, mica, talcum - just to name a few.
In addition, German Patent Application 198 18 924.9 teaches a process for the preparation of surface-modified fillers by treatment with an organosiloxane-containing composition, wherein the organosiloxane in addition to OH groups at least one amino-functional group and optionally further functional groups selected from the group alkyl, haloalkyl, Alkenyl, glycidyl etheralkyl, acryloxyalkyl and methacryloxyalkyl. Such fillers find application in adhesives, sealants, polymer compounds, paints and coatings.
German Patent Application 198 30 128.6 relates to flame retardants whose surface is modified by treatment with organosilanes or organosiloxanes. Such flame retardants are used inter alia in polyamides.
DE 199 29 021.0 discloses the use of functional organylorganyloxysilanes or their cocondensates on carriers in cable compounds.
The invention was based on the object of providing a further possibility to provide filled, solid and impact-resistant polyamides.
The stated object is achieved according to the disclosure of the claims.
It has been found that, in particular, fillers treated with an agent A, B or C, which are specified below, provide good strength properties with simultaneously good impact properties in filled, in particular, kaolin-filled, PA compounds.
The simultaneous modification of the interface between filler and polyamide (PA) with a component with adhesion-promoting properties, for example an aminosilane, and a component with lubricant properties, for example an alkylsilane, a polyethersilane or a wax based on polyethylene (PE), polypropylene or silicone , causes in a surprising and advantageous way a good or improved impact resistance while retaining good strength properties of the filled polyamide.
Agglomerate-free dispersion of the filler in the PA polymer matrix is essential and is accomplished in an excellent manner using fillers treated with any of the present agents.
In addition, the said PA compounds have an improved rheological behavior and can be compounded more easily. This means an additional cost saving for the compounder.

In general, a filled PA compound is prepared by mixing the polyamide and the coated filler in a compounding kneader. For this purpose, two dosing on the one hand polyamide granules and on the other hand, the filler is placed in the heated to a temperature above the melting temperature of the polyamide mixer so that the desired degree of filling can be maintained. In general, degree of filling means the mass ratio between polyamide and filler, for. B. with 60 parts by weight of polyamide and 40 parts by weight of filler in the compound, the degree of filling is 40%. As a rule, the coming from the mixer PA compound is then granulated and z.

Ready to use, z. B. manufactured by injection molding articles are, for example, most diverse housing for electronic devices or parts for motor vehicles, eg. As hubcaps, fan housing, just to name a few.
The filled PA compounds obtainable in accordance with the invention are generally characterized by good strength as well as good impact strength.
The present invention therefore also provides polyamide filled according to the invention and articles based on such a polyamide.
The present invention is further illustrated by the following examples.
example 1

The speed of the mixing tool is set to 400 revolutions per minute and the kaolin over the double jacket of the mixing vessel by means of a thermostat and heat transfer oil to approx. 80 ° C tempered. After approx. 30 Preheating is about the metering of the mixer, the silane or the silane mixture added: approx. 35 g per minute, a total of 70 g. When the total amount of silane has been added, a total of 120 minutes is left after stopping the heat supply, 90 minutes of this under reduced pressure.

Summary of the test results:
The examples show that agents according to the invention, cf. Lanes 3 to 5, compared to the standard surface modification with DYNASYLAN® AMEO or AMEO-T, cf. The approaches 1 and 2, an improvement in the properties and the processability of the thus silanized kaolin in polyamide effect.
Example 5 shows the significant increase in the impact strength of the polyamide compounds, - especially the increase in impact strength according to the standard DIN EN ISO 180 (Izod impact strength). This increase in impact strength means an improvement in the service properties of the finished products prepared with the polyamide compounds according to the invention.
From Example 7 it can be seen that the processing of the polyamide compounds according to the invention is facilitated by the approximately 10% higher flowability.
Examples 3 and 4 further show that the surface-modified fillers according to the invention as good as not affect the tensile and flexural strength of the polyamide compounds.
The thermal properties, represented here by the softening temperature, are not significantly influenced according to Example 6 by the surface modification of the filler according to the invention.
