[0074] Performance Testing

[0075] The performance of the battery top covers prepared in the above embodiments and comparative examples are tested and compared.

[0076] Corrosion resistance: The test sample was placed in a sealed container with an ambient temperature of 80°C and a hydrochloric acid solution concentration of 10% vol and immersed for 30 days, and then the tensile strength was tested.

[0077] After testing, the test performance parameters of the battery top covers prepared in the above embodiments and comparative examples are obtained, as shown in Table 1.

[0078] Table 1

[0079]

[0080]

[0081] It can be seen from Table 1 that the battery covers prepared in Examples 1 to 8 have good performance in tensile strength, tensile modulus, flexural strength, flexural modulus, interlaminar shear strength of continuous fiber reinforced nylon, simply supported beam impact strength and tensile strength after immersion in 10% vol hydrochloric acid at 80°C for 30 days, while in Comparative Example 1, only long glass fiber reinforced nylon was used to prepare the battery cover, which was inferior to the above Examples 1 to 8 in the above performances. This fully illustrates that the continuous fiber reinforced nylon, or continuous fiber reinforced nylon and long fiber reinforced nylon prepared by the technical solution of the present invention can not only significantly improve the strength, stiffness, corrosion resistance and environmental resistance of the composite material, but also enable the composite material to have the technical effects of lightweight, high toughness and good molding performance.

[0082] Compared with Example 1, Example 4 first prepares polycaprolactam, and then prepares continuous glass fiber reinforced nylon by extrusion compounding, that is, polycaprolactam is not synthesized in situ in the continuous glass fiber to form continuous glass fiber reinforced nylon as in Example 1. It can be seen from the performance data of Examples 1 and 4 that compared with Example 1, Example 4 is slightly inferior in tensile strength, tensile modulus, flexural strength, flexural modulus, interlaminar shear strength of continuous fiber reinforced nylon, simply supported beam impact strength, and tensile strength after immersion in 10% vol hydrochloric acid at 80°C for 30 days, especially in the interlaminar shear strength of continuous fiber reinforced nylon. This is because Example 4 separately extrudes and mixes polycaprolactam and continuous glass fiber, and compared with the in-situ synthesis in Example 1, the interlaminar shear strength of the continuous fiber reinforced nylon for the battery cover prepared in Example 4 is poor.

[0083] Compared with Example 1, Example 5 does not use the continuous glass fiber surface treated by the above method. It can be seen from the performance data of Example 1 and Example 5 that compared with Example 1, Example 5 is slightly inferior in tensile strength, tensile modulus, flexural strength, flexural modulus, interlaminar shear strength of continuous fiber reinforced nylon, simply supported beam impact strength, and tensile strength after immersion in 10% vol hydrochloric acid at 80°C for 30 days. This shows that the above-mentioned surface treatment of the continuous glass fiber can further improve the mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of the battery cover.

[0084] Compared with Example 1, Example 6 does not use continuous fiber reinforced nylon alone to prepare the battery cover, and does not use composite long glass fiber reinforced nylon. It can be seen from the performance data of Examples 1 and 6 that, compared with Example 1, Example 6 is slightly inferior in tensile strength, tensile modulus, flexural strength, flexural modulus, interlaminar shear strength of continuous fiber reinforced nylon, simply supported beam impact strength and tensile strength after immersion in 10% vol hydrochloric acid at 80°C for 30 days, but can also achieve good mechanical properties and corrosion resistance. This fully demonstrates that the battery cover prepared with the continuous fiber reinforced nylon prepared by the present invention also has good mechanical properties and corrosion resistance.

[0085] Compared with Example 1, Example 7 uses more long fiber reinforced nylon in the raw materials for preparing the battery cover. It can be seen from the performance data of Example 1 and Example 7 that although Example 7 has slightly better performance in tensile strength, tensile modulus, flexural strength, flexural modulus, interlaminar shear strength of continuous fiber reinforced nylon, simply supported beam impact strength and tensile strength after immersion in 10% vol hydrochloric acid at 80°C for 30 days, the tensile strength after immersion in 10% vol hydrochloric acid at 80°C for 30 days decreases significantly. This shows that when long fiber reinforced nylon is more, the corrosion resistance of the prepared battery cover is poor.

[0086] Compared with Example 1, Example 8 uses more continuous fiber reinforced nylon in the raw materials for preparing the battery cover. From the performance data of Example 1 and Example 8, it can be seen that Example 8 is slightly inferior in tensile strength, tensile modulus, flexural strength, flexural modulus, interlaminar shear strength of continuous fiber reinforced nylon, simply supported beam impact strength and tensile strength after immersion in 10% vol hydrochloric acid at 80°C for 30 days. This indicates that when there is more continuous fiber reinforced nylon, the mechanical properties of the prepared battery cover are poor.

[0087] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the present invention rather than to limit the protection scope of the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solution of the present invention can be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the essence and scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
