Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of aging lifetime assessment technology for insulating materials, and in particular to a method for assessing the electrical lifetime of small-sample nano-TiO2 modified polyimide films using a gray neural network model. Background Technology

[0002] Polyimide (PI) film is one of the important insulating materials in the electrical field, and its excellent performance has led to its widespread application in industries such as electrical insulation, flexible displays, aerospace, and 5G communications. The reliability of nanoparticle-modified PI films has improved with advancements in fabrication processes and dielectric property modulation technologies, but this has also resulted in longer life testing times, increased testing costs, and fewer failure data points. This limits the application of traditional insulation life assessment methods based on large sample sizes to address insulation life assessment problems with small sample data.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to study methods that can accurately assess the lifetime of nanoparticle-modified PI films with small sample sizes. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention proposes a small-sample method for evaluating the electrical lifetime of nano-TiO2 modified polyimide films based on a grey neural network model. The method includes the following steps:

[0005] Step 1: Prepare nano-TiO2 modified polyimide (PI) films with a thickness of 25±1μm by in-situ polymerization. Select modified PI films from the same batch prepared by the same process with slight performance differences as test samples. Conduct constant voltage accelerated electro-aging failure tests at different voltage levels to obtain accelerated failure data of nano-TiO2 modified PI films. The accelerated failure data includes the failure time of individual samples, mathematical average failure time and statistical failure time at a specified voltage level.

[0006] Step 2: Establish a grey neural network model. Generate a new sequence by forward accumulating the accelerated failure data described in Step 1. Use the new sequence as the training set and test set of the grey neural network model.

[0007] Step 3: Using different empirical cumulative failure functions as input to the trained grey neural network model, expanded data with similar characteristics and variation patterns to the original data is obtained. Parameter estimation is performed using the least squares method, and the sample size of the failure data before and after expansion is analyzed and compared. Different failure data probability distribution models are used: Weibull distribution model and log-normal distribution model; different empirical cumulative failure functions are used: mathematical expectation formula, median formula, Blom formula, and Hessian formula; different electrical lifetime models are used: exponential function electrical lifetime model and inverse power function electrical lifetime model, and their lifetime assessment results are analyzed.

[0008] Further, the preparation method of nano-TiO2 modified PI film is as follows: First, nano-TiO2 particles and dimethylacetamide (DMAC) solution are added to a round-bottom flask and stirred for 1.5 h to obtain a uniformly distributed suspension. Then, 4,4′-diaminodiphenyl ether (ODA), which has been dried in a vacuum drying oven for 3 h in advance, is added to the flask, and the solution is ultrasonically vibrated for 30 min until the ODA is completely dissolved.

[0009] Further, the dried pyranoic anhydride (PMDA) was divided into five portions and slowly poured into the suspension sequentially, with a mass ratio of ODA to PMDA of 1:1.05. After the PMDA was completely dissolved, the mixture was stirred for 4 hours and then cast onto a custom-made glass plate coated with a neutral release agent. The glass plate was then placed in a vacuum drying oven and dried for 2 hours. Finally, it was subjected to gradient curing at 100, 140, 180, 220, and 260 °C for 1 hour each, respectively, to peel off a 25 ± 1 μm thick nano-TiO2 modified PI film from the glass plate.

[0010] Furthermore, at several voltage values ​​U1, U2, ..., U i Under the conditions of using a cylindrical electrode, electrode gap d1, test temperature T1, and voltage frequency f1, the electrical lifetime of the sample, i.e., the failure time of each nano-TiO2 modified PI film sample, is obtained.

[0011] Furthermore, the grey neural network model is established as follows: Define U i The original failure data sequence of nano-TiO2 modified PI film under voltage is x (0) (k) (k = 1, 2, ..., N), for x (0) (k) Perform forward accumulation to obtain a new sequence. Establish x (1) Differential equation of (k) Its corresponding discrete-time series response function is After processing, the training and test sets of the grey neural network are obtained. A neural network for the failure time of nano-TiO2 modified PI thin films was established and trained, and the learning rate, maximum number of training iterations, and minimum mean square error of training were set.

[0012] Furthermore, by using different empirical cumulative failure functions, the cumulative failure probability values ​​corresponding to different voltages in the probability distribution model are obtained.

[0013] The empirical cumulative failure probability function is as follows:

[0014] Mathematical expectation formula:

[0015]

[0016] Mean value formula:

[0017]

[0018] Blom formula:

[0019]

[0020] Hessian formula:

[0021]

[0022] Furthermore, the distribution of electrical lifetime data of nano-TiO2 modified PI thin films was simulated using different probability distribution models.

[0023] The probability distribution function of the Weibull distribution model is:

[0024]

[0025] Density function:

[0026]

[0027] Furthermore, taking two logarithmic operations yields:

[0028] Y = ln[-ln F] i [(t)]=βln t i -βlnα

[0029] Wherein: F i (t) represents the cumulative failure probability; t represents the sample breakdown time; α represents the scale parameter; and β represents the shape parameter.

[0030] Log-normal distribution model probability distribution function:

[0031]

[0032] Density function:

[0033]

[0034] Where Φ(x) is the standard normal distribution function.

[0035] Furthermore, the electrical lifetime of nano-TiO2 modified PI films was characterized by the Weibull scale parameter α and the expected value μ of the log-normal distribution, respectively.

[0036] Furthermore, the characteristic electrical lifetime data of nano-TiO2 modified PI films under different probability models were fitted using a lifetime assessment model. The exponential function electrical lifetime model (EM) and the inverse power function electrical lifetime model (IPM) are as follows:

[0037] L=c·exp(-kU)

[0038] L=aU -n

[0039] Where L is the failure time of the sample under the test voltage, in seconds; U is the test voltage applied to the sample, in kV; n, a, k, and c are constants related to the test environment, sample material properties, electro-aging mechanism, and sample geometry, which are obtained through experiments.

[0040] Furthermore, the least squares method was used to obtain lifetime assessment results for different failure data sample sizes, distribution models, empirical cumulative failure functions, and electrical lifetime models. Attached Figure Description

[0045] This invention proposes a small-sample method for evaluating the electrical lifetime of nano-TiO2 modified polyimide films based on a grey neural network model. The method includes the following steps:

[0046] Step 1: Prepare nano-TiO2 modified polyimide (PI) films with a thickness of 25±1μm by in-situ polymerization. Select modified PI films from the same batch prepared by the same process with slight performance differences as test samples. Conduct constant voltage accelerated electro-aging failure tests at different voltage levels to obtain accelerated failure data of nano-TiO2 modified PI films. The accelerated failure data includes the failure time of individual samples, mathematical average failure time and statistical failure time at a specified voltage level.

[0047] Step 2: Establish a grey neural network model. Generate a new sequence by forward accumulating the accelerated failure data described in Step 1. Use the new sequence as the training set and test set of the grey neural network model.

[0048] Step 3: Using different empirical cumulative failure functions as input to the trained grey neural network model, expanded data with similar characteristics and variation patterns to the original data is obtained. Parameter estimation is performed using the least squares method, and the sample size of the failure data before and after expansion is analyzed and compared. Different failure data probability distribution models are used: Weibull distribution model and log-normal distribution model; different empirical cumulative failure functions are used: mathematical expectation formula, median formula, Blom formula, and Hessian formula; different electrical lifetime models are used: exponential function electrical lifetime model and inverse power function electrical lifetime model, and their lifetime assessment results are analyzed.

[0050] Add 4,4′-diaminodiphenyl ether (ODA), which has been dried in a vacuum drying oven for 3 hours, to the flask, and sonicate the solution for 30 minutes until the ODA is completely dissolved.

[0051] Five portions of dried pyranoic anhydride (PMDA) were slowly poured into the suspension in sequence, with a mass fraction ratio of ODA to PMDA of 1:1.05.

[0052] After the PMDA is completely dissolved, the mixture is stirred with a stirrer for 4 hours and then cast onto a custom glass plate coated with a neutral release agent.

[0053] Place the glass plate in a vacuum drying oven and dry for 2 hours.

[0054] Finally, the nano-TiO2 modified PI film with a thickness of 25±1μm was peeled off from the glass plate by gradient curing at 100, 140, 180, 220 and 260℃ for 1h respectively in an oven.

[0055] Given several voltage values ​​U1, U2, ..., U i Under the conditions of using a cylindrical electrode, electrode gap d1, test temperature T1, and voltage frequency f1, the electrical lifetime of the sample, i.e., the failure time of each nano-TiO2 modified PI film sample, is obtained.

[0056] The grey neural network model is established as follows: Define U i The original failure data sequence of nano-TiO2 modified PI film under voltage is x (0) (k) (k = 1, 2, ..., N), for x (0) (k) Perform forward accumulation to obtain a new sequence.

[0057] Establish x (1) Differential equation of (k) Its corresponding discrete-time series response function is

[0058] After processing, the training and test sets of the grey neural network are obtained.

[0059] A neural network was established and trained to study the failure time of nano-TiO2 modified PI films, with a learning rate of 0.05.

[0060] Set the maximum number of learning attempts to 2000.

[0061] The minimum mean square error for training is set to 0.001;

[0062] The neural network is trained to generate predicted and ideal values ​​for the capacity sequence, and the error between the ideal and the expected values ​​is obtained.

[0074]

[0075] The distribution of electrical lifetime data of nano-TiO2 modified PI thin films was simulated using different probability distribution models.

[0076] The probability distribution function of the Weibull distribution model is:

[0077]

[0078] Density function:

[0079]

[0080] Furthermore, taking two logarithmic operations yields:

[0081] Y = ln[-ln F] i [(t)]=βln t i -βlnα

[0082] Wherein: F i (t) represents the cumulative failure probability; t represents the sample breakdown time; α represents the scale parameter; and β represents the shape parameter.
