Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of polymers, specifically relating to a modified polypropylene composition, a biaxially oriented polypropylene film made from the modified polypropylene composition, the application of the biaxially oriented polypropylene film in the preparation of energy storage dielectrics, and a polypropylene capacitor film. Background Technology
[0002] Energy is the driving force of modern societal development. In recent years, with the rapid development of new energy, aerospace, underground resource extraction, and national defense industries, the demand for dielectric capacitors has increased year by year, and they are required to operate under more stringent temperature conditions. However, thin-film capacitors, primarily composed of polymer dielectric materials, have poor thermal stability and cannot operate stably in high-temperature environments. Especially under high electric fields, the temperature rise causes the leakage current inside the polymer dielectric to increase exponentially, resulting in a sharp decrease in charging and discharging efficiency and energy storage density, failing to meet application requirements. More seriously, the leakage current is converted into Joule heat, causing the capacitor temperature to rise continuously, ultimately leading to damage.
[0003] Biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP) is currently the most commercially available and widely used polymer film capacitor dielectric material. It has excellent comprehensive performance and mature large-scale preparation process, and is now widely used in industries such as electric vehicles, wind power, photovoltaics, lighting and railway locomotives.
[0004] However, an inherent drawback of polypropylene film capacitors is their poor dielectric energy storage performance and significantly reduced reliability at high temperatures. For example, at room temperature, BOPP can still achieve a charge-discharge efficiency of over 95% even when close to its breakdown field strength, but at 120°C, its efficiency drops to about 70%. This not only significantly reduces its energy storage density but also generates a large amount of waste heat that accumulates inside the device, ultimately leading to overheating and damage (thermal runaway).
[0005] Currently, there are two main types of methods to improve the operating temperature of polymer capacitor films from a materials perspective. The first type is to improve the thermal stability of the polymer dielectric material, that is, to synthesize materials with a high glass transition temperature (T0). g The first method involves polymer dielectric materials. The second method involves introducing a second-phase filler into the polymer dielectric material to prepare a composite material. This filler particles capture and scatter charge carriers to suppress leakage current in the polymer under high temperature and high electric field conditions. However, both methods suffer from complex manufacturing processes, making large-scale industrial production difficult.
[0006] Therefore, it is necessary to find a new type of modified polypropylene composition that has obvious controllability of dielectric energy storage characteristics, simple preparation process, and is suitable for practical engineering applications.
[0007] Grafting modification is a common method for functionalizing polypropylene. Commonly used methods include melt grafting and solid-phase grafting. Melt grafting equipment is simple and inexpensive, but the reaction temperature is high, the process is difficult to control, and there are many byproducts. It is also limited to a limited range of applicable monomers and is currently only used for the preparation of anhydride-based or a few acrylate-based compatibilizers. Solid-phase grafting occurs at temperatures below the melting point of polypropylene, resulting in fewer side reactions, higher grafting efficiency, and a wider range of applicable graft monomers. For example, Y. Pan et al. studied the reaction conditions for solid-phase grafting of glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) onto polypropylene in "Solid-phase grafting of glycidyl methacrylate onto polypropylene." (Journal of Applied Polymer Science, 1997, 65(10): 1905-1912), and pointed out that the influencing factors of solid-phase grafting and melt grafting are significantly different. Suspension grafting is a special type of solid-phase grafting. By introducing an aqueous medium as a dispersant into the reaction system, the reaction temperature is further reduced, improving the uniformity of grafting and reducing the formation of byproducts. In addition, Li Qiaojun et al. discussed the reaction conditions and influencing factors of polypropylene suspension grafting with styrene in "Study on polypropylene suspension grafting with styrene" (Synthetic Resins and Plastics, 1996, 13(1):7-10.). Zhu Baodong et al. reported obtaining a polypropylene dimonomer graft with a grafting rate of 8.97% by aqueous suspension grafting in "Polypropylene aqueous suspension grafting with styrene and maleic anhydride" (Modern Plastics Processing and Application, 2009, 5:3.). Currently, there are no reports of bulk grafted modified polypropylene as a dielectric energy storage material.
[0008] Improving the heat and oxygen aging resistance of polypropylene by using antioxidant compounding is a common method. CN111378229A discloses a polypropylene composition resistant to long-term heat aging and its preparation method. The composition comprises 84.55-57.9% polypropylene, 15-40% talc, 0.1-0.3% primary antioxidant, 0.1-0.3% secondary antioxidant, 0.05-0.2% hindered amine antioxidant, 0.1-0.3% thioester antioxidant, and 0.1-1% acid scavenger. CN202011292440.0 discloses a low-density, high-transmittance polypropylene material resistant to long-term heat and oxygen aging, wherein the primary antioxidant is a compound of high molecular weight hindered phenolic antioxidant and low molecular weight hindered phenolic antioxidant. Summary of the Invention
[0009] The purpose of this invention is to provide a modified polypropylene composition containing a novel alkenyl functional monomer grafted onto modified polypropylene, which can be further processed into a polypropylene film through a biaxial stretching process. The modified polypropylene composition and the polypropylene film can maintain high energy storage efficiency and energy storage density even at high operating temperatures.
[0010] A first aspect of the present invention provides a modified polypropylene composition comprising modified polypropylene grafted with an alkenyl functional monomer, an antioxidant, and a processing aid.
[0011] The modified polypropylene grafted with alkenyl functional monomers comprises structural units derived from polypropylene as the matrix phase and structural units derived from alkenyl functional monomers as the dispersed phase; the ash content of the modified polypropylene grafted with alkenyl functional monomers is less than 50 ppm, preferably less than 36 ppm, more preferably less than 30 ppm; the mass ratio of structural units derived from alkenyl functional monomers and in the grafted state to structural units derived from alkenyl functional monomers and in the self-polymerized state in the modified polypropylene grafted with alkenyl functional monomers is greater than or equal to 1.0, preferably 1.1 to 10, more preferably 1.2 to 6; the D50 of the dispersed phase is less than 450 nm, preferably 50 to 400 nm.
[0012] A second aspect of the present invention provides a biaxially oriented polypropylene film, which is prepared from the above-described modified polypropylene composition.
[0013] A third aspect of the present invention provides the application of the above-described biaxially oriented polypropylene film in energy storage media, particularly high-temperature energy storage media.
[0014] A fourth aspect of the present invention provides a polypropylene capacitor film, which is one or more layers, wherein at least one layer is the above-described biaxially oriented polypropylene film.
[0015] The modified polypropylene composition of this invention, as well as the biaxially oriented polypropylene film and polypropylene capacitor film made therefrom, have a wide operating temperature range. In particular, they maintain good dielectric and energy storage properties even at higher operating temperatures, making them especially suitable for high-temperature, high-field-strength operating conditions. Compared to inorganic filler doping technology, grafting modification can form a uniformly distributed nanoscale dispersed phase in the composite material, avoiding the problems of difficulty in adding and dispersing inorganic fillers. Compared to surface modification, bulk modification has a simpler process flow, produces a uniformly dispersed phase, and has a stable structure, making it less prone to functional monomer layer detachment due to external forces during use. The biaxially oriented polypropylene film and high-performance polypropylene capacitor film of this invention have the advantage of good tensile properties, balancing mechanical and electrical properties at higher operating temperatures, making them suitable for high-temperature, high-field-strength operating conditions.

[0117] The modified polypropylene composition of the present invention is prepared by mixing the components.
[0118] The present invention also provides a biaxially oriented polypropylene film, which is prepared from the above-described modified polypropylene composition.
[0119] The method for forming polymer films from the modified polypropylene composition granules of the present invention can be carried out with reference to the prior art. For example, the granules can be processed by hot pressing or extrusion casting, or by biaxial stretching, to form a film.
[0120] According to a specific embodiment of the present invention, the biaxially oriented polypropylene film is prepared by a method comprising the following steps:
[0121] (1) The modified polypropylene composition is mixed and granulated;
[0122] (2) The obtained granules are melt-extruded and cast into sheets to obtain modified polypropylene sheets;
[0123] (3) The modified polypropylene casting is biaxially stretched to obtain the biaxially stretched polypropylene film.
[0124] The process of mixing and extruding the modified polypropylene with antioxidants and processing aids in step (1) typically includes: mixing the modified polypropylene composition evenly in a high-speed mixer; adding the evenly mixed material to a twin-screw extruder or a single-screw extruder for melt mixing and uniform extrusion granulation; and drying to obtain granules. The processing temperature of the twin-screw extruder can be controlled between 190 and 230°C.
[0125] According to the present invention, the temperature of the melt extrusion in step (2) is 190-230°C; the temperature of the casting quench roll of the cast sheet is 15-50°C. The modified polypropylene cast sheet may be a single-layer structure or a multi-layer structure.

[0127] The biaxially oriented polypropylene film of this invention can be used as an energy storage dielectric, and is particularly suitable as a high-temperature energy storage dielectric due to its high operating temperature. The dielectric is preferably a membrane dielectric, which can be single-layer or multi-layered, including but not limited to capacitor films, roughened films, supercapacitor films, electrostatic films, or battery separators. The biaxially oriented polypropylene film of this invention is particularly suitable for preparing films for use in membrane capacitors, and can be directly applied as a polypropylene capacitor film, or used to prepare polypropylene capacitor films.

During the extrusion casting process, the casting die can be selected according to the desired film structure. For example, when a film with a single-layer structure is required, a single-layer die can be used; when a film with a multi-layer structure is required (e.g., a film with a three-layer structure of upper surface layer, core layer, and lower surface layer), a multi-layer composite die can be used, and at least one layer (e.g., the core layer) of the multi-layer composite die is connected to the extruder hopper containing the modified polypropylene composition, so that at least one layer (e.g., the core layer) of the resulting film is a modified polypropylene layer formed by the modified polypropylene composition. During the extrusion process, the extrusion temperature can be 100-200℃, and the temperature of the casting quenching roller can be 15-50℃.
[0131] In this invention, the biaxial stretching includes simultaneous stretching (i.e., simultaneous longitudinal (MD) and transverse (TD) stretching of the film) or step-by-step stretching (i.e., first longitudinal stretching of the film, then transverse stretching of the film).
[0132] The simultaneous stretching method includes: first, preheating the modified polypropylene composition casting sheet at a temperature of 120–170°C, and then simultaneously performing MD and TD stretching; the conditions for the simultaneous stretching method include: stretching temperature of 150–175°C, MD stretching ratio of more than 3 times, TD stretching ratio of more than 3 times, MD stretching rate of 50–300% / s, and TD stretching rate of 50–300% / s.
[0133] The stepwise stretching method includes: first preheating the modified polypropylene composition casting sheet, then performing MD stretching, then preheating again and then performing TD stretching; the conditions for the stepwise stretching method include: MD stretching temperature of 150-170℃, TD stretching temperature of 155-175℃, MD stretching ratio of 3 times or more, TD stretching ratio of 5 times or more, MD stretching rate of 50-300% / s, and TD stretching rate of 50-300% / s.
[0134] According to the present invention, the method may or may not involve annealing and setting the stretched film. Preferably, the method includes annealing and setting the stretched film, wherein, when setting is performed, the annealing and setting temperature is preferably 160–180°C. The annealing and setting time is preferably 5–60 seconds. This annealing and setting treatment of the stretched film can improve the dimensional stability of the film.
[0135] According to the present invention, the method may further include subjecting the obtained polypropylene film to surface corona treatment, edge trimming, and winding, which are conventional operations in the art and are not particularly limited thereto.
[0136] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments, but the scope of the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

[0265]
[0266]
[0267] A comparison of D1 and C1 shows that grafting modification can significantly improve the dielectric and energy storage properties of polypropylene.
[0268] A comparison of D2 and C1 shows that when high-ash polypropylene is used as the reaction raw material, even under the same preparation conditions, the grafted phase is smaller, and its energy storage efficiency and energy storage performance are significantly lower than those of low-ash polypropylene modifiers.
[0269] By comparing D3 and C1-C15, it can be seen that if the dispersed phase size is too large, the breakdown strength of the product is almost not improved compared to D1, and other dielectric properties and energy storage properties are not significantly improved compared to D1, which is significantly different from the grafted modification examples.
[0270] A comparison of D4 and C1-C15 shows that by directly adding grafted monomer polymers, the interfacial forces between the grafted monomer polymers and polypropylene are weaker, the breakdown strength is lower, and the energy storage performance is actually lower than that of D1.
[0271] A comparison of D5 and C2 shows that even with a high amount of functional monomers added, the polypropylene graft-modified material can still form a film normally. However, after adding a large amount of functional monomer polymers, the material cracks during processing and cannot form a film.
[0272] By comparing D6 and C1-C15, it can be seen that the energy storage efficiency of the capacitor film of the present invention at 120°C is significantly higher than that of commercially available high-temperature capacitor films, and the energy storage density and dielectric properties are also comparable to or slightly better than those of commercially available high-temperature capacitor films.
[0273] By comparing the oxidation induction periods of C1 and C11-C13, it can be seen that the modified polypropylene composition obtained by using the preferred antioxidant compound combination and ratio has significantly improved the heat and oxygen aging resistance and greatly extended the oxidation induction period.
[0274] As can be seen from C14-C15, controlling the particle size of the polypropylene base material to the optimal range can give the product better insulation and energy storage properties.
