Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of flat cable production, and in particular to a high temperature resistant flexible flat cable and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Flexible flat cable (FFC) has the advantages of being soft, easy to bend, thin, small, simple to connect, easy to disassemble, and easy to solve electromagnetic shielding (EMI). The number and spacing of wires can be arbitrarily selected, making it easy to connect, reduce the size of electronic products, reduce costs, and improve efficiency. With the development of intelligent automobiles, the number of automotive electronic devices has increased, and the use of data transmission lines has increased accordingly. Lightweight wiring harnesses are becoming more and more important for reducing the energy consumption of single vehicles. The development of FFC has promoted the development of lightweight automotive wiring harnesses, but at the same time it has also put forward higher requirements on the performance of film materials, such as higher heat resistance, long-term environment and reliability of use.

[0003] The films used in traditional FFCs are mostly based on PET, with hot melt adhesive coated on the substrate, and then the upper and lower layers of the film are rolled together with the conductor wiring. The FFC prepared by this technical solution will have the following problems when used in the automotive field. For example, the hot melt adhesives commonly used on the film, such as EVA and polyurethane, have poor heat resistance and are at risk of degumming in a high temperature environment for a long time. Secondly, the preparation of the film usually needs to consider the compatibility of the hot melt adhesive with the substrate, and sometimes it is necessary to add a tackifier layer to prevent the substrate from degumming, which brings great trouble to the preparation process and will also cause more reliability problems during use, bringing safety hazards.

[0027] Figure 1 It is a process flow chart of the present invention;

[0028] Figure 2 It is a schematic diagram of the FFC structure. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0029] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. The embodiments described below are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention. If no specific techniques or conditions are specified in the embodiments, the techniques or conditions described in the literature in this area or the product specifications are used. The reagents or instruments used that do not specify the manufacturer are all conventional products that can be obtained commercially.

[0030] At present, the film generally uses solvent-free hot melt adhesive or solvent-cured adhesive (such as epoxy, polyurethane) as the adhesive layer and the substrate. If the substrate is discarded, the pure hot melt adhesive is soft in texture and not stiff enough, which can easily cause the adhesive to slip, uneven thickness and film deformation during the hot pressing process. Secondly, the mechanical properties of the material are also difficult to meet the use requirements. Therefore, the use of a substrate can conveniently and effectively solve these problems; and the solvent-cured adhesive has good fluidity and very low viscosity, and requires a substrate to support the molding. Therefore, the use of a substrate in the prior art can provide good convenience and practicality. However, with the development of industry technology, the performance requirements for the film are more stringent, and it is necessary to consider the temperature resistance of the substrate itself, the adhesion of the substrate to the adhesive at high temperature, etc. Based on the understanding of the prior art, it is generally difficult for technicians in this field to think of using a film without a substrate to prepare FFC.

[0031] However, the present application develops a method for preparing a high temperature resistant flexible flat cable, referring to Figure 1 , using modified high melting point crystalline polymer, sequentially cast and stretched to obtain a stretched film, then cross-linked the stretched film by ultraviolet radiation to obtain a substrate-free film, and finally rolled with a conductor to obtain FFC. The microstructure of FFC is referenced Figure 2 .

[0032] The present invention adopts a modified high-melting-point crystalline polymer to obtain a substrate-free film after biaxial stretching by casting, which can effectively improve the shrinkage and mechanical properties of the material. The biaxial stretching product is partially cross-linked by ultraviolet radiation to further improve the temperature resistance, mechanical properties and shrinkage resistance of the film. Finally, the substrate-free film and the conductor are rolled to obtain FFC, thereby avoiding the risk of degumming of FFC during long-term use.

[0033] In some embodiments, the method specifically includes the following steps:

[0034] S1: Select a high melting point crystalline polymer with a melting point of 120-200°C;

[0042] In some embodiments, the photoinitiator includes at least one of benzoin, benzil, alkylbenzene copper, and acylphosphorus oxide, and the added amount is 0.2-1% by mass to the high melting point crystalline polymer. If the added amount is too small, the purpose of the photoinitiator to improve the double bond crosslinking of the polymer cannot be achieved, and the crosslinking is not sufficient; if the added amount is too large, it will lead to a waste of raw materials.

[0043] In some embodiments, the photosensitizer is at least one of trimethylolpropane triacrylate, trimethylolpropane trimethacrylate, and 1,3,5-triallyl isocyanurate, and the added amount thereof is 1-5% by mass relative to the high melting point crystalline polymer.

[0044] In some embodiments, the temperature of the UV irradiation oven is controlled at 100-200°C, specifically 100°C, 120°C, 130°C, 140°C, 150°C, 160°C, 170°C, 180°C, 190°C or 200°C, and the UV (ultraviolet) curing of the stretched film is carried out at this temperature.

[0045] In some embodiments, in step S6, the pre-rolling temperature is 120-160°C, specifically 120°C, 130°C, 140°C, 150°C or 160°C; the main rolling temperature is 140-200°C, specifically 140°C, 150°C, 160°C, 170°C, 180°C or 200°C; the pressure is 0.1-0.3Mpa, specifically 0.1Mpa, 0.2Mpa or 0.3Mpa.

[0046] In some embodiments, in step S6, the diameter of the conductor is 90-110 μm, specifically 90 μm, 100 μm or 110 μm; the thickness of the substrate-free film is 50-100 μm, specifically 50 μm, 60 μm, 70 μm, 80 μm, 90 μm or 100 μm.

[0047] The present invention also discloses a high temperature resistant flexible flat cable, which is prepared by any of the preparation methods described above and has excellent temperature resistance, mechanical properties and shrinkage.

[0087] (5) High temperature resistant FFC can be obtained by the above method.

[0088] The above embodiments and comparative examples were subjected to performance tests, and the test results are shown in Table 1.

[0089] Peeling force (peeling of glue and conductor wire) test method: Cut FFC into 20mm*100mm specimens; open the copper wire and the film and fix them on the clamp of the tensile testing machine, with the lower clamp clamping the film and the upper clamp clamping the copper wire; adjust the speed of the tensile testing machine to 50mm / min, keep the sample angle at -180°, peel upward 10mm, record the tension-displacement relationship curve during the test, observe the curve changes during the test, and record the peeling force.

[0090] High temperature resistance performance test method: Test the peeling size in the range of 100℃~200℃. The peeling force test method is as shown above. The temperature resistance is determined by judging failure when the peeling force is less than ≥61g / mm.

[0091] Determination of gel content: The gel content of the cross-linked film is tested. The gel content is usually tested by centrifugation, and the steps are as follows: Take the prepared substrate-free film, add an appropriate amount of solvent (the mass volume ratio of the substrate-free film to the solvent is 1%, and the solvent is a xylene solution), and stir it thoroughly to make it evenly dispersed, place the mixed solution in a centrifuge, and centrifuge to obtain the upper liquid and precipitate, dry the precipitate in a thermostat at 120°C for 3 hours, and divide the weight of the precipitate by the total weight of the substrate-free film to obtain the gel content.

[0092] Table 1 Performance test results of embodiments and comparative examples

[0093]

[0094] In automotive FFC, its temperature resistance is generally required to be above 125°C. It can be seen from the data in Table 1 that after cross-linking (Examples 1-3, Comparative Examples 2 and 3), its temperature resistance meets the requirements, while the uncross-linked non-substrate film (Comparative Example 1) has poor temperature resistance and is easy to deform. The gel content represents the mass ratio of the three-dimensional network polymer formed after cross-linking. Table 1 shows that the gel content is more suitable at 25% to 30%. When it is greater than 40% (Comparative Example 3), it will affect the movement of the group, thereby affecting its bonding performance. The bonding performance of the glue and the conductor must meet the index of peeling force ≥ 61g / mm after heat treatment (125°C, 1000h). It can be seen from the data that after heat treatment at 125°C, the peeling force of the uncross-linked or highly cross-linked film decreases greatly and cannot meet the technical indicators.

[0095] As can be seen from the table above, the performance of the embodiment is better than that of the comparative example. The reason is that the embodiment uses ultraviolet radiation to partially crosslink the biaxially stretched product, further improves the temperature resistance, mechanical properties and shrinkage of the film, and ensures good stiffness during the hot pressing process to avoid rubber slippage and film deformation; the film can meet the requirements of molding and use performance without being attached to the substrate; and the difference between Examples 1, 2 and 3 comes from the influence of the material's own characteristics. Among them, the polyamide in Example 3 has a higher melting point, so its temperature resistance is the best. This difference can meet the occasions with higher requirements for temperature resistance. Among them, Comparative Example 1 is not crosslinked, the sample has poor heat resistance, and the appearance has shrunk and deformed; and it can be seen from Comparative Examples 1 and Comparative Examples 3 that when the heat resistance is not enough or the gel content is too high, after long-term high-temperature treatment, the bonding performance of the glue and the conductor is significantly deteriorated. The embodiment overcomes the disadvantages of the above comparative examples. At the same time, excessive crosslinking affects the movement of the molecular chain and causes poor bonding effect, and excessively low crosslinking does not significantly improve the temperature resistance. Therefore, it is necessary to regulate the crosslinking effect, that is, to provide a suitable crosslinking range to obtain a good gain effect. In contrast, in Example 2, the sample was not obtained by biaxial stretching, and the peeling force after heat treatment was very low. The reason for this is that the unstretched crystallinity is relatively high, and the small number of amorphous regions results in fewer bondable groups. In addition, the high crystallinity leads to a large degree of shrinkage, which easily leads to a low degree of interface bonding.

[0096] The above-mentioned embodiments only express the preferred implementation modes of the present invention, and the description thereof is relatively specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the present invention. It should be pointed out that, for ordinary technicians in this field, various other corresponding changes and deformations can be made according to the technical solutions and concepts described above, and all these changes and deformations should fall within the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
