[0054] It can be understood that the "heat-resistant polypropylene" described in the present application is a kind of polypropylene, which can form a perfect crystal structure skeleton by controlling the molecular chain stereoregularity of polypropylene > 96%, so as to make it have good heat deformation resistance.

[0055] In some embodiments, the styrene-based thermoplastic elastomer includes a styrene / ethylene-propylene block copolymer.

[0056] In some embodiments, the mass percentage of styrene in the styrene-based thermoplastic elastomer is 20% to 35%. For example, the mass percentage can be 20%, 22%, 24%, 26%, 28%, 30%, 32%, 34%, 35%, or within a range formed by any of the above values.

[0057] In some embodiments, in the styrene-based thermoplastic elastomer, the number of moles of ethylene is equal to the number of moles of propylene.

[0058] The styrene-based thermoplastic elastomer includes a styrene / ethylene-propylene block copolymer, wherein the styrene block serves as a physical crosslinking point, and the ethylene-propylene block serves as a flexible molecular chain, so that the block copolymer has a highly entangled molecular chain network, and can realize elastic network deformation, thereby improving the mechanical toughness of the polypropylene-based insulation material used as a raw material.

[0094] Comparative Example 5

[0095] Similar to the preparation process of Example 1, the difference is that the polypropylene alloy resin is 40 parts, the heat-resistant polypropylene is 35 parts, and the styrene-based thermoplastic elastomer is 25 parts.

[0096] Comparative Example 6

[0098] Comparative Example 7

[0099] Similar to the preparation process of Example 1, except that the number average molecular weight of the styrene-based thermoplastic elastomer is about 50000 g / mol.

[0101] Similar to the preparation process of Example 1, except that the melt flow rate of the heat-resistant polypropylene under the same conditions is about 6 g / 10 min.

[0102] Comparative Example 9

[0103] Similar to the preparation process of Example 1, except that the molecular chain tacticity of the heat-resistant polypropylene is about 90%.

[0104] The parameters of some of the raw materials involved in the above examples and comparative examples are shown in Table 1 below.

[0105] Table 1

[0106]

[0107] The polypropylene-based insulation material prepared in the above examples and comparative examples was subjected to relevant performance tests, and the test results are shown in Table 2 below.

[0108] Among them, the test conditions or test standards of each performance test item are as follows:

[0109] (1) Flexural modulus: tested based on GB / T9341-2008.

[0110] (2) Electrical properties: tested based on GB / T 1408.1-2016.

[0111] (3) Heat distortion resistance: to evaluate whether the polypropylene-based insulation material can maintain the necessary mechanical strength at the desired overload temperature, the sample is prepared according to the tensile property test method. The standard test method for heat extension test is used. One end of the sample is suspended in an oven with a temperature setting of 150℃, and the other end is subjected to a load of 0.2 MPa of the weight of the sample cross section. After a set time of 15 min, the elongation of the sample is measured, defined as the elongation under load. The elongation after cooling is defined as the permanent set.

[0112] Table 2

[0113]

[0114] By Figure 1 , Figure 2 and the statistical results of Table 2 can be seen that the polypropylene-based insulation material prepared by Comparative Example 1 exhibits good heat deformation resistance, and the deformation rate and permanent deformation rate under load are only 0.5%. However, the room temperature bending modulus exceeds 500 MPa, which is difficult to meet the mechanical property requirements of polypropylene cables. With the increase of the content of styrene-based thermoplastic elastomer, the bending modulus of Comparative Examples 2 and 3 decreases rapidly, the mechanical toughness is well improved, but the heat resistance is also deteriorated more obviously. Especially, Comparative Example 3 cannot complete the heat resistance test, directly breaks at high temperature, and no exact value is obtained, which shows poor heat deformation resistance.

[0115] By using the combination of heat-resistant polypropylene and styrene-based thermoplastic elastomer, the performance advantages of the two can be coupled, and the heat deformation resistance, mechanical toughness and electrical properties of the polypropylene-based insulation material can be considered. As shown in Table 2, in Examples 1-6, the polypropylene-based insulation material has good heat deformation resistance and mechanical toughness. At the same time, the polypropylene-based insulation material can maintain good electrical properties, and the room temperature AC breakdown field strength (50 Hz, 1 mm) is higher than 30 kV / mm. In Comparative Examples 4-6, the mass content of each component of the polypropylene-based insulation material is not within the protection range, although it exhibits good heat deformation resistance, but the bending modulus is high, which is difficult to meet the use requirements of the cable. In Comparative Examples 7-9, the molecular weight of the styrene-based thermoplastic elastomer is too low, the melt index (melt flow rate) of the heat-resistant polypropylene is too high, and the stereoregularity is too low. Although a lower bending modulus can be obtained, the heat deformation resistance is poor, and it is still difficult to meet the use requirements of the cable. Therefore, by using the combination of various functional modifiers, the heat deformation resistance, electrical properties and mechanical toughness of the polypropylene-based insulation material are synergistically optimized, which can meet the requirements of polypropylene high-voltage cables.

[0116] The technical features of the above-described embodiments can be combined in any manner. To make the description concise, all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are not described, but as long as the combinations of the technical features do not contradict, they should be considered within the scope of the present disclosure.

[0117] The above-described embodiments only express several embodiments of the present application, and the description is more specific and detailed, but it should not be understood as limiting the scope of the patent. It should be noted that for ordinary skilled persons in the art, without departing from the concept of the present application, a number of modifications and improvements can be made, which are within the scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the patent of the present application should be subject to the appended claims.
