Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of silicone rubber materials technology, and in particular to an organosilicon masterbatch for use in special cables and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] Nuclear power, as a highly efficient and environmentally friendly new energy source, has become one of my country's major strategies for adjusting its energy structure in recent years. With the continuous increase in nuclear power plant construction projects, public concern about nuclear power safety is also growing. Radiation accelerates the aging of materials used in nuclear power plants, reduces the normal service life of nuclear power facilities and equipment, and poses safety hazards. Traditional ethylene propylene rubber cable materials will experience a series of problems under such conditions, including insulation carbonization, filler decomposition due to radiation, and seal failure.

[0003] Patent document CN117700891A discloses a radiation-resistant and tensile-resistant cable. Its protective sheath is made of EPDM rubber, chlorinated polyethylene, carbon black, silica, additives, antioxidants, paraffin wax, zinc oxide, crosslinking sensitizer, and sulfur. The resulting cable has stable and efficient radiation resistance, aging resistance, abrasion resistance, tensile and tear resistance, and a certain degree of flame retardancy. However, the poor compatibility between excessive conventional inorganic fillers and the organosilicon matrix, and the physical blending easily leads to phase separation, resulting in weak interfacial bonding. Under dynamic bending or thermal cycling conditions, microcracks are easily generated at the filler-matrix interface, becoming the starting point for electrical breakdown and mechanical failure. Moreover, the cable is in a high-pressure, high-radiation environment in nuclear power plants for a long time, which affects the service life of the cable. Summary of the Invention

[0008] S2: Disperse alkenyl boron tungsten in hydrochloric acid solution, add sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate, stir evenly, then add aniline and potassium persulfate solution dropwise, and polymerize at 65-75℃. After the reaction is completed, centrifuge, filter, purify, and dry to obtain tungsten boron with a core-shell structure.

[0009] S3: Tungsten boride with a core-shell structure is immersed in a sodium p-vinylbenzenesulfonate solution and subjected to ion exchange at 60-65℃. The resulting product is centrifuged, filtered, purified, and dried to obtain modified tungsten boride.

[0010] Preferably, the methyl vinyl silicone rubber has an average molecular weight of 600,000-700,000 and a vinyl molar content of 0.15%-0.3%.

[0011] Preferably, the reinforcing filler is fumed silica with a specific surface area of ​​190-210 m². 2 / g, with an average particle size of 10-40nm.

[0012] Preferably, the viscosity of the hydroxyl silicone oil is 30-35 mm. 2 / s (25℃), hydroxyl content is 8%-10%.

[0013] Preferably, the vulcanizing agent is 2,5-dimethyl-2,5-di(tert-butylperoxy)hexane.

[0014] Preferably, the ratio of tungsten boride powder, vinyltrimethoxysilane, anhydrous ethanol and deionized water in step S1 is 40-50g:12-15mL:450-475mL:25-50mL.

[0015] Preferably, the tungsten boride powder in step S1 has a size of 1-3 μm and a purity of ≥99%.

[0016] Preferably, the hydrolysis-condensation reaction in step S1 is carried out under a nitrogen atmosphere at a reaction temperature of 50-60°C.

[0017] Preferably, the ratio of the amount of alkenyl boron tungsten, hydrochloric acid solution, sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate, aniline, and potassium persulfate solution used in step S2 is 40-50g:450-500mL:0.4-0.5g:16-20mL:1.6-2mL.

[0018] Preferably, the pH of the hydrochloric acid solution in step S2 is 1.0.

[0019] Preferably, the dropping rate of both aniline and potassium persulfate solution in step S2 is 2 mL / min.

[0020] Preferably, the concentration of the potassium persulfate solution in step S2 is 0.1 mol / L.

[0021] Preferably, the purification in step S2 involves washing three times each with deionized water, acetone, and tetrahydrofuran.

[0024] Furthermore, the present invention also provides a method for preparing organosilicon masterbatch for use in special cables, the specific steps of which are as follows:

[0025] Methyl vinyl silicone rubber is added to a mixing mill and preheated to 83-87℃. After the rubber softens, the rotor is turned on. Then, fumed silica and modified tungsten boride are added to the mixing mill and mixed at 93-97℃ for 30-60 minutes. Then, the temperature is raised to 108-112℃, hydroxyl silicone oil and 2,5-dimethyl-2,5-di(tert-butylperoxy)hexane are added. After premixing at 150℃, the mixture is transferred to a co-rotating twin-screw extruder and melt-extruded at 200-210℃. After water cooling, the silicone masterbatch for use in special cables is obtained.

[0026] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0027] This invention constructs an organosilicon masterbatch system with a multi-level interface structure through a three-step modification process (alkenylation-polyaniline coating-sulfonic acid group modification). First, sodium p-vinylbenzenesulfonate is used to achieve a "one-molecule dual-function" design. The vinyl group participates in the vulcanization crosslinking network, and the sulfonic acid group forms a dynamic bond, upgrading the filler-matrix interface bonding energy from physical adsorption to chemical bonding. At the same time, its phenyl group can improve the material's aging resistance and radiation resistance. Second, the coating structure constructed by aniline on the surface of tungsten boride has a unique conjugated structure that can effectively disperse mechanical stress. This polar group forms dynamic crosslinking points with the silicone rubber molecular chain, enhancing the interfacial bonding strength. The π-π conjugation effect disperses stress and dissipates radiation energy, providing a solution for special cables used in extreme environments such as nuclear power plants that combines high mechanical strength and excellent radiation resistance.

[0066] Table 1 Performance Test Results

[0067]

[0068] Data Analysis: As can be seen from the data of Examples 1-3 in Table 1, the organosilicon masterbatch prepared by this invention exhibits excellent comprehensive performance. Through a three-step modification process of tungsten boride surface alkenylation grafting, polyaniline coating, and sulfonic acid group modification, a multi-level interfacial interaction network is constructed between the filler and the silicone rubber matrix. The polyaniline shell disperses mechanical stress through the π-π conjugation effect, and its benzene ring structure can effectively capture free radicals generated by radiation. This is the key to maintaining high tensile strength and excellent radiation retention rate. At the same time, the introduction of sodium vinylbenzenesulfonate not only enhances the interfacial bonding force between the filler and the matrix through ionic bonds, but its sulfonic acid groups can also form a hydrogen bond network with the polar groups in the silicone rubber, significantly improving thermal stability. Furthermore, its alkenyl groups enable the modified tungsten boride to participate in subsequent vulcanization crosslinking.

[0069] Comparative analysis of the data from Example 2 and Comparative Examples 3 and 4 in Table 1 shows that the present invention, through the process of ion-exchange modification of sodium vinylbenzenesulfonate, significantly improves the performance of the organosilicon masterbatch. Firstly, the vinyl groups in the sodium vinylbenzenesulfonate molecule can covalently crosslink with the vinyl groups in methyl vinyl silicone rubber, forming a tighter filler-matrix interface bond during subsequent vulcanization. Secondly, the sulfonic acid groups form stable chemical bonds with the surface of tungsten boride. This bonding enhances the interfacial bonding strength between the filler and the matrix, and the synergistic effect of the benzene ring structure and sulfonic acid groups may enhance the thermal stability of the material through intermolecular forces. Particularly noteworthy is that, compared to ordinary sodium benzenesulfonate and samples without ion exchange, the bifunctional nature of sodium vinylbenzenesulfonate allows it to participate in the crosslinking network through vinyl groups and improve interfacial compatibility through sulfonic acid groups. This dual-action mechanism provides a reliable guarantee for the long-term stable operation of special cable materials under high voltage and radiation environments.

[0070] The performance data comparison analysis of Example 2 and Comparative Examples 1 and 2 in Table 1 shows that the present invention, through a multi-step modification process combining polyaniline coating with sodium vinylbenzenesulfonate modification, significantly improves the overall performance of the organosilicon masterbatch. Firstly, the polyaniline shell forms a coating on the tungsten boride surface, and its unique conjugated structure effectively disperses mechanical stress and dissipates radiation energy through electron delocalization. Secondly, the modification of sodium vinylbenzenesulfonate introduces sulfonic acid groups onto the filler surface. These polar groups form dynamic crosslinking points with the silicone rubber molecular chains, enhancing the interfacial bonding strength. Furthermore, the synergistic effect of the benzene ring structure of polyaniline and the sulfonic acid groups may construct a more stable filler-matrix interface structure through π-π stacking and hydrogen bonding interactions. Particularly noteworthy is that, compared to samples that only undergo alkenylation modification and those that directly add tungsten boride, this core-shell structure design significantly improves the dispersibility of the filler in the matrix, avoiding the agglomeration phenomenon that easily occurs in uncoated fillers, while effectively inhibiting molecular chain degradation during radiation and thermal aging.
