Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of polymer material processing, and specifically relates to a polyvinylidene fluoride high-crystallinity oriented polar crystal phase, a preparation method thereof and application thereof in the field of flexible sensors. BACKGROUND

[0002] Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) is a typical crystalline polymer, which has corrosion resistance, high temperature resistance, and oxidation resistance, etc., and has a wide range of applications in lithium battery binder separators, building coatings, packaging films for photovoltaic power generation, water treatment membranes, etc. At the same time, PVDF has good piezoelectric, dielectric and thermoelectric properties, and has very broad application prospects in sensors and energy storage devices [Costa, C. M.; Cardoso Martins, P.; Correia, D. M. et al. J. Chem. Rev. Sci. 2023 ,123,19, 11392-11487.]. High-crystallinity oriented polar crystal phase is a prerequisite for the application of PVDF in sensors and energy storage devices.

[0003] PVDF can crystallize to form five different crystal phases, among which β , γ and δ are polar crystal phases. However, under normal processing conditions, PVDF crystallizes to form non-polar α phase. At present, the common method for preparing PVDF polar crystal phase is to first cast a PVDF film, and then to prepare it by stretching and annealing, including mechanical stretching [Ye, Q. Y.; Sun, J. H.; Huang, C. X.; Huang, H. D. et al. J. Macromolecules. Sci. 2024 ,57,8, 3671-3686.], quenching and annealing heat treatment [Hess, C. M.; Rudolph, A. R.; Reid, P. J. J. Phys. Chem. B. Sci. 2015 ,119,10, 4127-4132.], high-pressure crystallization [Ren, J. Y.; Zhang, G. Q.; Li, Y. et al. J. Polymer. Sci. 2018, 158204-212.], introduction of polar interaction such as introduction of nucleating agent or solution [Wang, J. C.; Fu, Q.; Zhang, Q. J . Polymer . Scisuch as the methods disclosed in the following documents: "Preparation of PVDF polar crystal phase by melt crystallization", Journal of Applied Polymer Science, 2012, 5455-5458, "Preparation of PVDF polar crystal phase by melt crystallization", Journal of Applied Polymer Science, 2012, 5455-5458, and "Preparation of PVDF polar crystal phase by melt crystallization", Journal of Applied Polymer Science, 2012, 5455-5458. The mechanical stretching can make the PVDF molecular chain or segment arrange orderly in a certain direction, which can induce the PVDF copolymer to transform from the disordered, star-shaped nanocrystal into the ordered, self-polarized fiber chain-shaped nanocrystal. However, the crystallinity of the PVDF oriented polar crystal phase prepared by the mechanical stretching is low, and the mechanical stretching of the PVDF is prone to introduce defects such as cracks and voids, which can cause the deterioration of the mechanical properties of the PVDF polar crystal phase material. Although the quenching heat treatment, high-pressure crystallization, and introduction of the polar interaction can obtain the polar crystal phase with high crystallinity, the polar crystal phase prepared by the above-mentioned methods is not oriented, and the process of the above-mentioned methods is complex, which can also affect other properties such as the mechanical properties.

[0004] In summary, the existing preparation methods of the PVDF polar crystal phase have the problems of low crystallinity, easy introduction of defects, and no orientation of the obtained PVDF polar crystal phase, which are difficult to prepare the PVDF high-crystallinity oriented polar crystal phase. SUMMARY

[0005] In order to solve the problems in the prior art, the present application provides a method for preparing a PVDF high-crystallinity oriented polar crystal phase, that is, the PVDF high-crystallinity oriented polar crystal phase is prepared by applying the pressure, temperature and flow field to the melt PVDF, so as to overcome the problems of low crystallinity, easy introduction of defects such as cracks and voids after the mechanical stretching, and no orientation of the polar crystal phase of the PVDF polar crystal phase prepared by the existing preparation methods.

[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present application provides the following technical scheme:

[0007] The present application utilizes the coupling effect of the pressure, temperature and flow field, and the PVDF crystallization directly obtains the high-crystallinity oriented polar crystal under the combined action of the pressure, temperature and shear flow field, and the crystallinity of the polar crystal phase is as high as about 63%. The melt preparation method of the PVDF high-crystallinity oriented polar crystal phase comprises the following specific steps:

[0008] S1, the PVDF raw material is added to the mold;

[0009] S2, the mold filled with the PVDF raw material is heated to above the melting point and maintained, and then the temperature of the melt PVDF raw material is adjusted;

[0010] S3, the pressure is applied to the PVDF, and then the shear flow field is immediately applied to the PVDF for orientation, and then the PVDF is cooled under the pressure, and the pressure is removed after the temperature is reduced to room temperature, to obtain the PVDF sample with the high-crystallinity oriented polar crystal phase.

[0011] Further, in step S2, the PVDF raw material is heated to 30-50 DEG C above its melting point and maintained for 5-10 minutes.

[0012] Further, in step S2, the temperature of the melted PVDF raw material is adjusted to 150-260 DEG C.

[0013] Further, in step S3, the cooled PVDF raw material is subjected to a pressure in the range of 50-600 MPa. The application of a pressure field to the PVDF melt promotes the generation of polar crystal phases of PVDF.

[0014] Further, in step S3, the PVDF raw material subjected to the pressure is immediately subjected to a shear flow field, with a shear rate of 100-10000 s-1. The flow field is applied for more than 10 seconds. The application of a flow field to the PVDF melt promotes the orientation of molecular chains and improves the crystallinity of polar crystal phases of PVDF.

[0015] Further, in step S3, after the PVDF raw material is subjected to the shear flow field, it is subjected to a constant-pressure cooling process, and then the pressure is released when the temperature drops to room temperature, to obtain a PVDF sample containing high-crystallinity oriented polar crystal phases.

[0016] During the orientation process, the molecular chains or segments of the melted PVDF are arranged along the direction of the shear flow field under the action of external shear stress, which promotes the arrangement of dipoles in the same direction, generating oriented polar crystal phases and reducing the generation of defects such as cracks and voids. The ordered arrangement of molecular chains or segments of the oriented PVDF makes the arrangement of dipoles more ordered, further enhancing the overall polarity of the material.

[0017] The application also discloses the use of the PVDF high-crystallinity oriented polar crystal phases obtained by the above preparation method in the field of piezoelectric flexible sensors.

[0018] The PVDF piezoelectric flexible sensor is obtained by sequentially pasting electrode sheets and insulating films on both sides of the PVDF high-crystallinity oriented polar crystal phase sample, and can respond to mechanical stress to obtain electrical signals. The electrode sheets pasted on both sides of the PVDF sample are conductive copper foils or silver foils, and the insulating films are polyimide or polyethylene films.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the application has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0020] The melt preparation method of the polyvinylidene fluoride high-crystallinity oriented polar crystal provided by the application promotes the molecular chain orientation by using the flow field, and improves the crystallinity of the PVDF polar crystal phase; the thermodynamic conditions for forming the PVDF polar crystal phase can be provided by adjusting the temperature and pressure field, and the shish-kebab structure of the oriented polar crystal phase of the PVDF can be induced by applying the flow field, so that the PVDF product with enhanced strength, modulus, transparency and corrosion resistance is prepared. Compared with the existing preparation method of the PVDF oriented polar crystal phase, i.e., the first flow casting and then stretching and annealing, the PVDF sample with the high-crystallinity oriented polar crystal phase can be directly prepared by the coupling of the temperature field, the pressure field and the flow field according to the application, and the stretching and annealing of the PVDF oriented polar crystal after film forming is not needed, so that the defects in the material are avoided, the crystallinity of the PVDF polar crystal phase is improved, and the preparation process is simpler. The shish-kebab structure of the oriented crystal of the PVDF is generated by the synergistic effect of the pressure and the flow field without adding any nucleating agent or solvent, so that the PVDF generates the high-crystallinity oriented polar crystal phase, thereby ensuring the piezoelectric performance of the PVDF. On the one hand, the generation of the shish-kebab oriented structure can greatly improve the mechanical properties of the PVDF, and on the other hand, the polar crystal phase also improves the piezoelectric performance of the PVDF material, so that the PVDF can be applied to the field of flexible sensors.

[0104] Example 1

[0105] To investigate the content and orientation of polar crystalline phases in the polyvinylidene fluoride crystalline samples prepared according to this invention, the following tests were first conducted on samples from Examples 1-9 of this invention: temperature (150℃~200℃), pressure (50MPa~600MPa), and flow field (26~30℃). Wide-angle X-ray diffraction tests were performed on the samples of Comparative Examples 1-5 at temperatures (150℃~200℃) and pressures (50MPa~500MPa) without an applied flow field. See Appendix. Figure 2 , 3 Appendix Figure 2 As can be seen, a strongly polar crystalline phase appeared under the stated temperature, pressure, and flow field conditions. β and γ The presence of characteristic peaks (indicating the presence of polar crystalline phases) proves that the method described in this invention can prepare polar crystalline phases of polyvinylidene fluoride, and that the content of these polar crystalline phases is relatively high. Figure 3 Comparative Examples 1-5, using polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) samples without an applied flow field at temperatures (150℃~200℃) and pressures (50MPa~500MPa), show very weak characteristic peaks of the polar crystalline phase, indicating only a small amount of polar crystalline phase formation. Further analysis of wide-angle X-ray diffraction results, by fitting the diffraction peaks of the polar and non-polar crystalline phases, calculated the crystallinity of the polar crystalline phase using the following formula:

[0106]

[0107] In the formula, A α(111) 、A C They represent (111) respectively. α The area of ​​the peak and the area of ​​all crystallization peaks. The total crystallinity is obtained by dividing the crystallization peak area by the total diffraction peak area. The calculation results are shown in Table 1:

[0108] Table 1 Crystallinity of the polar crystalline phases in Examples 1-9 and Comparative Examples 1-5

[0109]

[0110] It is evident that polyvinylidene fluoride samples with high crystallinity (27%~63%) polar crystalline phase can be prepared using the method of the present invention. In Example 4, the temperature (180℃), pressure (100MPa), and flow field (27℃) were controlled. Under the influence of PVDF polar crystalline phase, the crystallinity is the highest, reaching 63%.

[0111] Example 2

[0112] In order to investigate the orientation degree of the PVDF crystalline sample, the crystal orientation of the PVDF crystalline sample under the temperature (150-200℃), pressure (50-600MPa) and flow field (26 ~30 Figure 4 、 5 The comparison can be seen from the attached Figure 4 、 5 Without the flow field, the SAXS scattering signal is almost uniformly distributed, indicating that the polyvinyl fluoride crystal is isotropic; and after the shear flow field is applied, the SAXS scattering signal presents two peaks at 90° and 265°, indicating that the polyvinyl fluoride crystal presents good orientation (the attached Figure 4 The Hermans orientation function is used for quantitative analysis of the polyvinyl fluoride crystal orientation, and the calculation formula is as follows:

[0113]

[0114] Wherein, the azimuth angle is represented by When is 1, it indicates that the crystal is perfectly oriented, and when is 0, the crystal is randomly distributed. The calculation results are shown in the attached Figure 4 、 Figure 5 Under the combined action of the temperature (150-200℃), pressure (50-600MPa) and flow field (26 ~30 ), the polyvinyl fluoride crystal presents good orientation. Further observation of the oriented polar crystal phase by SEM is shown in the attached Figure 6 The oriented polar crystal phase presents a typical shish-kebab structure, and the lamellar crystal is highly oriented perpendicular to the flow field direction. At the same time, the polyvinyl fluoride crystalline morphology under the combined action of the temperature (180℃), pressure (100MPa) and flow field (10 ) of comparative example 7 is shown in the attached Figure 7 The crystalline morphology is isotropic ring banded crystal. Therefore, under the combined action of the temperature (150-200℃), pressure (50-600MPa) and flow field (shear rate greater than or equal to 26 , shear application time greater than or equal to 10s), the polyvinyl fluoride high-crystallinity oriented polar crystal phase can be prepared.

[0115] Example 3

[0116] ​In order to investigate the piezoelectric sensing performance of the PVDF high crystallinity oriented polar crystal phase prepared by the method of the application, piezoelectric test was performed on the PVDF sample under the joint action of the temperature (180℃), pressure (100MPa) and flow field (27 ) of Example 4, and the PVDF sample under the joint action of the temperature (180℃), pressure (100MPa) and no flow field of Comparative Example 2. The piezoelectric sensing performance test was performed by sequentially pasting conductive copper foil and insulating film polyimide on both sides of the PVDF sample. The test results are shown in Figure 8 、 9 , Example 4 generates a voltage signal of about 2V under the action of pulsed mechanical external force, and Comparative Example 2 generates a voltage signal of about 0.4V under the action of pulsed mechanical external force. Therefore, the PVDF high crystallinity oriented polar crystal phase sample prepared by the application can continuously generate voltage signals with good repeatability under the action of pulsed mechanical external force, and can be used in application fields such as energy harvesting, intelligent sensors and flexible actuators.
