[0126] (4) Drying: Dry the granulated FEP particles in an oven at 120℃ for 12 hours, and control the moisture content to be <0.01%.

[0127] (5) Injection Molding: FEP granules are placed in the heated inner cavity and injected into the dumbbell-shaped mold under the thrust of the injection screw. After cooling to room temperature, the 2mm thick injection molded part is removed from the mold. The injection temperature is set to 280℃.

[0128] The formulations and in-situ fiberization process parameters of Examples 1-10 and Comparative Examples 1-2 are shown in Table 1.

[0135] As shown in Table 2, the tensile strength and elongation at break gradually increase with the increase of PTFE ratio.

[0136] The Hacker rheometer test curves of the isolation membranes of Comparative Example 1 and Example 3 were measured, and the results are as follows: Figure 1 As shown. By Figure 1It can be seen that after the addition of PTFE, due to the in-situ microfibrillation effect of PTFE, the torque of the ETFE melt is greater than that without the addition of PTFE. Furthermore, as time goes on, the dispersion of in-situ microfibrillation improves, and the torque tends to level off.

[0137] The Hacker rheometer test curves of the isolation membranes of Comparative Example 2 and Example 8 were measured, and the results are as follows: Figure 2 As shown. By Figure 2 It can be seen that after adding PTFE, due to the in-situ microfibrillation effect of PTFE, the torque of the FEP melt is greater than that without PTFE. Furthermore, as time goes on, the dispersion of in-situ microfibrillation improves, and the torque tends to level off.

[0138] SEM analysis was performed on the separator of Comparative Example 1, and the results are as follows: Figure 3 As shown. By Figure 3 It can be seen that without in-situ microfibrillation of PTFE, the surface of ETFE is smooth.

[0139] SEM analysis was performed on the separator membrane of Example 4, and the results are as follows: Figure 4 As shown. By Figure 4 It can be seen that the addition of PTFE leads to in-situ microfibrillation, and fibrous material begins to appear on the surface of ETFE.

[0140] SEM analysis was performed on the separator of Comparative Example 2, and the results are as follows: Figure 5 As shown. By Figure 5 It can be seen that without in-situ microfibrillation of PTFE, the surface of FEP is smooth.

[0141] SEM analysis was performed on the injection molded part of Example 10, and the results are as follows: Figure 6 As shown. By Figure 6 It can be seen that the addition of PTFE leads to in-situ microfibrillation, and fibrous material begins to appear on the surface of FEP.

[0142] Tensile tests were conducted on the injection molded parts of Comparative Example 3 and Example 5. The results and actual images of the fractured parts are shown below. Figure 7 As shown. By Figure 7 It can be seen that after the in-situ microfiberization of PTFE, the tensile strength and elongation at break of the ETFE standard injection molded parts are improved.

[0143] Tensile tests were conducted on the injection molded parts of Example 4 and Example 10. The results and actual images of the fractured parts are shown below. Figure 8 As shown. By Figure 8 It can be seen that after the in-situ microfiberization of PTFE, the tensile strength and elongation at break of the FEP standard injection molded parts are improved.

[0144] The mechanical properties of the separators in Comparative Example 2 and Example 8 before and after thermal aging were measured, and the results are as follows: Figure 9 As shown. By Figure 9 It can be seen that after in-situ microfibrillation of PTFE, the tensile strength and elongation at break of both ETFE and FEP separator membranes are improved compared with those without in-situ microfibrillation of PTFE.
