Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of polymer processing and molding, and in particular to a multilayer radiation cooling film with a pseudo-blade structure and a preparation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] With the intensification of global climate change and the continuous development of the economy, the demand for refrigeration solutions in the fields of car clothing refrigeration, equipment refrigeration, building refrigeration, etc. is growing. However, traditional refrigeration technologies such as air conditioning have gradually failed to meet the needs of modern society due to high energy consumption, great environmental impact, and limited use scenarios. In response to these problems, Passive Radiative Cooling (PRC) technology, as a cutting-edge green refrigeration method, is receiving more and more attention.
[0003] PRC technology uses the high transparency of the Earth's atmosphere to infrared radiation in the mid-infrared (MIR) band (atmospheric window, λ=8µm~13µm) to design surface materials that can enhance the MIR radiation effect. This technology can directly dissipate the heat generated by an object into outer space in the form of MIR radiation, thereby achieving a cooling effect. In addition, the PRC film has a high solar reflectivity, which can effectively block direct sunlight during the day and provide all-weather passive cooling performance.
[0004] In recent years, the research focus of PRC technology has been mainly on different types of structures such as multilayer photonic structures, random media, metamaterials, aerogels, hydrogels and porous polymers. Due to their unique optical properties, these materials have shown good application prospects in many fields such as photovoltaics, building insulation, food preservation and electronic heat dissipation, and have achieved significant cooling effects. Despite this, most existing PRC structures often rely on complex and costly manufacturing processes, which makes large-scale industrial production difficult. At the same time, it is difficult for existing PRC materials to simultaneously meet high standards in terms of mechanical strength, elongation at break, toughness, etc., especially under the premise of ensuring good ultraviolet (UV) durability and long-term stability, and they face many challenges. Therefore, developing a PRC film that is both simple and economical, and has a long service life and excellent performance has become one of the key issues that need to be solved urgently. Summary of the invention
[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the defects and shortcomings of the prior art and to provide a multilayer radiation cooling film with a pseudo-blade structure. The multilayer radiation cooling film achieves better radiation cooling effect and higher UV stability by optimizing material composition and structural design, thereby providing new possibilities for the practical application of PRC technology.

[0014] As a preference, in the cooling layer, the solid content ratio of the inorganic particles in the cooling layer is 10% to 80%, wherein the solid content ratio of the inorganic particles in the cooling layer of different materials can vary within the range of 1:9 to 9:1, and the solid content ratio of the ultra-high molecular weight polyolefin is 20% to 90%.
[0015] A preparation method of a multi-layer radiation cooling film with a pseudo-leaf structure for preparing a multi-layer radiation cooling film with a pseudo-leaf structure as described above, comprising the following steps: S1. Preliminary mixing: According to the solid content requirements of the protective layer, mix the inorganic particles of the protective layer, ultra-high molecular weight polyolefin, and pore-forming agent to prepare a preliminary mixed solution of the protective layer; according to the solid content requirements of the cooling layer, mix the inorganic particles of the cooling layer, ultra-high molecular weight polyolefin, and pore-forming agent to prepare a preliminary mixed solution of the cooling layer; S2. Co-mixing and extrusion: Place the preliminary mixed solution of the protective layer and the preliminary mixed solution of the cooling layer prepared in step S1 into a multi-layer co-extrusion device with a temperature 40°C to 70°C higher than the melting temperature, and through the co-mixing and extrusion process, form a network structure of ultra-high molecular weight polyolefin containing uniformly distributed inorganic particles to obtain a multi-layer gel film; S3. Removing the pore-forming agent: Place the multi-layer gel film in an extractant for extraction, and after drying to remove the pore-forming agent, a uniformly distributed microporous structure is formed inside the multi-layer gel film due to the entanglement of ultra-high molecular weight polyolefin molecular chains, similar to the plasmodesma structure between leaf epidermal cells, and finally obtain a multi-layer radiation cooling film with a pseudo-leaf structure; The thickness of the multi-layer radiation cooling film is 10 μm to 10 mm, and the average diameter of the uniformly distributed micropores is 0.01 μm to 1 μm.
[0016] As a preference, the pore-forming agent is one or more of polyvinylpyrrolidone, polyethylene glycol, polyvinyl alcohol, mineral oil, petrolatum, vegetable oil, and decalin.
[0017] The working principle of the multi-layer radiation cooling film with a pseudo-leaf structure of the present invention: The design inspiration of this multi-layer radiative cooling film comes from the porous structure with plasmodesmata in the leaf epidermis of plants. That is, epidermal cells are closely arranged to form an effective ultraviolet radiation barrier, supplemented by flavonoids widely embedded in leaf epidermal cells. Flavonoids have antioxidant ability and can protect key parts such as the cell nucleus, cell membrane, and chloroplast from damage by ultraviolet radiation. This multi-layer radiative cooling film uses ultra-high molecular weight polyolefin as the substrate and mainly consists of two layers: a protective layer and a cooling layer. The protective layer is tightly filled with inorganic particles of the protective layer with high ultraviolet light reflection performance (such as silica), while the cooling layer is doped with various inorganic particles of the cooling layer with high optical properties (such as titanium dioxide and silica).
[0018] Protective layer: Ultra-high molecular weight polyolefin is used as the base material to form a structure similar to plasmodesmata in leaf epidermal cells, and inorganic particles of the protective layer with high ultraviolet reflectivity are tightly filled in the plasmodesmata structure. For example, ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene is used as the material for preparing the protective base layer, and silica is used as the material for preparing the inorganic particles of the protective layer. Silica shows excellent reflectivity in the ultraviolet wavelength range, and a considerable part of ultraviolet radiation can be attenuated when passing through silica. In addition, silica also shows outstanding chemical stability under ultraviolet radiation, ensuring that the protective layer has good weather resistance under ultraviolet irradiation. Therefore, silica is embedded in the plasmodesmata structure formed by ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene in a form similar to flavonoids to resist ultraviolet radiation and prevent photocatalytic reactions caused by some inorganic particles in the cooling layer.
[0019] Cooling layer: At least two inorganic particles of the cooling layer are doped in the cooling base layer made of ultra-high molecular weight polyolefin. Different inorganic particles of the cooling layer with different materials and different particle sizes act synergistically. For example, ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene is used as the material for preparing the cooling base layer, and titanium dioxide and silica are used as the materials for preparing the inorganic particles of the cooling layer. Silica compensates for the decrease in the solar light reflectivity caused by the high light absorption rate of titanium dioxide in the ultraviolet wavelength range. At the same time, titanium dioxide has a large extinction coefficient and a high MIR emissivity, which can compensate for the decrease in the MIR emissivity caused by the significant decrease in the extinction coefficient of silica in the wavelength range of 10μm - 12μm. Therefore, titanium dioxide can also be used as an emissive material to well supplement silica to achieve high-efficiency and long-lasting passive cooling.
[0020] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages and beneficial effects: (1) Significantly improve radiative cooling performance: Through the synergistic effect of inorganic particles in the protective layer and the cooling layer, a remarkable solar reflectance of over 96% and a mid-infrared (MIR) emissivity of over 94% are achieved. Experimental data show that the multi-layer radiative cooling film with a pseudo-leaf-like structure of the present invention can reduce the ambient temperature by up to 10.2 °C, providing strong support for the practical application of passive radiative cooling (PRC) technology.
[0021] (2) Excellent ultraviolet stability and outdoor durability: The multi-layer pseudo-leaf-like structure has a biomimetic plasmodesmata structure formed by the entanglement of ultra-high molecular weight polyolefin molecular chains and is filled with inorganic particles in the protective layer with high ultraviolet reflectivity. This not only improves the material's ability to resist ultraviolet rays but also ensures that the radiative cooling film can maintain the stability of its mechanical and optical properties even under high-intensity ultraviolet radiation of 7000 MJ / m², making it very suitable for long-term outdoor use.
[0022] (3) Optimized structural design: By reasonably designing the ratio and thickness of the protective layer and the cooling layer, and precisely controlling the solid content and particle size distribution of the inorganic particles in each layer, the radiative cooling effect is further enhanced.
[0023] (4) Feasibility of large-scale production: The large-scale manufacturing of this multi-layer pseudo-leaf porous structure film can be achieved using commercially available multi-layer coextrusion equipment, reducing production costs and technical thresholds, which is conducive to the wide promotion and application of PRC technology.
[0024] (5) Economic sustainability: The raw materials used are extensive and inexpensive, including various ultra-high molecular weight polyolefin base materials (such as ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene, ultra-high molecular weight polypropylene, etc.) and inorganic particles in the protective layer and inorganic particles in the cooling layer (such as silica, titanium dioxide, etc.), which not only ensure the high performance of the product but also meet the requirements of economic sustainable development.
[0025] (6) Easy to process and manufacture: The preparation method is simple and feasible. Each step from initial mixing to co-mixing extrusion and then to porogen removal is clear and specific, ensuring the uniformity and consistency of the final product. In addition, various types of porogens can be used, and the most suitable one or several combinations can be selected according to actual needs, increasing the flexibility of the process.
