Problems solved by technology

However, the composition of the polymer determines the performance of the polymer, which in turn determines the use of the polymer. This solution limits the composition of the polymer, which will have adverse effects that limit the performance and application of the polymer.
At the same time, the scheme actually points out in which composition range ETFE has better thermal stability during processing, which is the property of the polymer itself, and does not improve the thermal stability of ETFE under this composition
[0006] Another example is that US3893971, US4110308, and US4267098 respectively propose adding alumina, copper compounds, phosphoric acid or phosphate to the prepared ETFE to improve the thermal stability of the polymer, but this method will introduce impurities in the ETFE resin, Thus limiting the application in fields requiring pure ETFE
[0007] So far, there is no report on improving the thermal stability of the prepared ETFE by starting from the polymerization system

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a preparation method of a fluorine-containing polymer, in particular to a preparation method of a highly thermally stable ethylene-tetrafluoroethylene copolymer. Background technique [0002] Ethylene-tetrafluoroethylene copolymer (ETFE or F40) is a fusible fluoropolymer, which retains the excellent chemical resistance, aging resistance and electrical properties of general fluoropolymers. The introduction makes ETFE have a lower specific gravity and excellent radiation resistance. [0003] However, when ETFE is processed and applied at high temperature, it is prone to degradation, which is manifested in the decrease of molecular weight (increase in melt index), decrease in tensile strength, discoloration and other phenomena, resulting in a decrease in product quality. Especially when the content of tetrafluoroethylene units in ETFE is high, the melting point of ETFE will rise, resulting in the narrowing of the temperature rang...
