Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of insulating materials, and particularly to a cross-linked polyethylene insulating material and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Cross-linked polyethylene insulating materials play an important role in the manufacture of wires and cables, and can effectively provide electrical isolation to ensure safety and reliability. Compared with traditional uncross-linked polyethylene insulating materials, cross-linked polyethylene has higher heat resistance and mechanical strength, and can withstand higher working temperatures. The cross-linking process can change the structure of polyethylene molecular chains to form a three-dimensional network structure, significantly improving the physical and chemical properties of the material, thereby enhancing the heat resistance and electrical insulation of the material.

[0003] In the field of high-voltage cable insulation, although traditional cross-linked polyethylene insulating materials already have good electrical properties and a certain service life, there are still some problems during their long-term operation. For example, traditional XLPE materials are prone to aging in high-temperature and humid environments, resulting in a decline in electrical properties and a shortening of the service life. In addition, although some existing antioxidant and filler modification technologies can improve the properties of the material to a certain extent, these improvements are usually scattered and lack a systematic optimization scheme, making it difficult to achieve a comprehensive improvement in overall performance. Summary of the Invention

[0004] (I) Technical Problems to be Solved Aiming at the deficiencies of the prior art, the present invention provides a cross-linked polyethylene insulating material and a preparation method thereof, which solve the problems that existing traditional cross-linked polyethylene insulating materials for high-voltage cable insulation are prone to aging in high-temperature and humid environments, resulting in a decline in electrical properties and a shortening of the service life. In addition, although some existing antioxidant and filler modification technologies can improve the properties of the material to a certain extent, these improvements are usually scattered and lack a systematic optimization scheme, making it difficult to achieve a comprehensive improvement in overall performance.

[0005] (II) Technical Solutions To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: A cross-linked polyethylene insulating material, comprising the following components: 40-50 parts of linear low-density polyethylene, 10-20 parts of low-density polyethylene, 3-8 parts of polypropylene resin, 2-3 parts of silane coupling agent, 0.8-1.5 parts of initiator, 0.9-1.5 parts of polycyclic conjugated antioxidant, 0.8-2 parts of modified nano-aluminum oxide, 1-3 parts of antioxidant, 8-10 parts of carbon black masterbatch, 3-4 parts of ultraviolet absorber, 5-7 parts of catalyst, 0.5-1 part of lubricant, 3-4 parts of voltage stabilizer, and 2-7 parts of cross-linking agent.

[0006] Further, the antioxidant is a combination of a primary antioxidant and a secondary antioxidant. The primary antioxidant is one of vitamin E, antioxidant 300, and antioxidant 1010, and the secondary antioxidant is one of dilauryl thiodipropionate, mannitol, sorbitol, and tris(nonylphenyl) phosphite.

[0007] On the basis of the above, the silane coupling agent is vinyltrimethoxysilane (A2171) or vinyltriethoxysilane.

[0008] As a further aspect of the present invention, the lubricant is a stearate, and the crosslinking agent is dicumyl peroxide.

[0009] On the basis of the above, the voltage stabilizer is one of 5 - oleoyloxy - 1,4 - naphthoquinone, 4 - methyldibenzoyl, and triallyl isocyanurate.

[0010] As a further aspect of the present invention, a method for preparing a cross - linked polyethylene insulating material is also proposed, which includes the following steps: S1: Matrix material compounding and pretreatment: Mix low - density polyethylene and linear low - density polyethylene, add polypropylene resin, add antioxidants and lubricants, and after premixing, perform drying treatment to form a polyethylene matrix. S2: Nano - reinforcement and functionalized dispersion of stabilizers: Uniformly disperse modified nano - alumina into the polyethylene matrix through melt blending technology to prevent nanoparticle agglomeration, add a voltage stabilizer, and perform surface coating treatment. S3: Preparation of cross - linking material A: Add a silane coupling agent and an initiator to a twin - screw extruder, control the temperature at 140 - 160 °C, and achieve grafting of silane and polyethylene through a free - radical reaction to form a cross - linkable grafted material. Then add a polycyclic conjugated antioxidant and a cross - linking agent and stir evenly to obtain material A. S4: Preparation of catalytic masterbatch: Mix a catalyst with an ultraviolet absorber and a carbon black masterbatch and granulate to form a catalytic masterbatch, i.e., material B. S5: Mixing and extrusion: Mix material A and material B in a ratio of 9:1 and form an insulating layer through an extruder.

[0011] S6: Removal of by - products: Use vacuum drying or hot - air circulation to remove cross - linking by - products such as water and alcohols, and dynamically adjust the curing time to 48 - 72 hours according to the thickness of the insulating layer to avoid the formation of internal defects.

[0012] Further, the preparation method of the modified nano-aluminum oxide is as follows: Mix nano-aluminum oxide with a particle size of 50-100 nm and absolute ethanol at a mass ratio of 1:10, and ultrasonically disperse for 35-40 min until a uniform suspension is formed. Then add o-xylene and continue ultrasonic treatment for 18-20 min. Evaporate ethanol by heating in an oil bath at 70-75 °C to obtain an o-xylene suspension. Gradually add 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane dropwise to the suspension, and the addition amount is 2.5-3% of the mass of nano-aluminum oxide. Adjust the pH to 5, which can be controlled by 0.1 M hydrochloric acid. Reflux in a water bath at 60 °C for 2-2.3 hours, and the rotation speed of synchronous mechanical stirring is 300-320 rpm to promote the hydrolysis of KH550 and the condensation with the hydroxyl groups on the alumina surface. Then raise the temperature to 80 °C to evaporate o-xylene and vacuum dry for 10-12 hours at a temperature of 58-60 °C to obtain a silylated intermediate product. Then disperse the silylated intermediate product in absolute ethanol, add 4,4'-diaminodiphenyl sulfone and polyethylene glycol-2000, and ultrasonically treat at 50 °C for 0.9-1 hour to make the DDS amino group react with the terminal amino group of KH550 and the PEG hydroxyl group bond to the alumina surface. After filtration, wash with ethanol 3 times and vacuum dry at 60 °C for 24 hours to obtain modified nano-aluminum oxide with surface-grafted organic functional groups.

[0013] On the basis of the above, the melt blending in S2 is controlled at three stages. The feeding section is 120-140 °C, the melting section is 60-180 °C, and the extrusion section is 140-150 °C. (III) Beneficial effects Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a cross-linked polyethylene insulating material, its preparation method and its application in automotive anti-corrosion, and has the following beneficial effects: 1. Through the concept of multi-component collaborative design, that is, by combining a new type of voltage stabilizer, a primary and secondary antioxidant system, nano-filler modification and precise process control, the present invention realizes a comprehensive improvement in electrical performance and significantly enhances the long-term stability. Especially through the combination of a lubricant and a cross-linking agent, it not only ensures the smoothness during the processing, but also effectively controls the cross-linking density and improves the overall quality of the material. Therefore, the present invention not only shows significant advantages in electrical performance, but also its service life is extended, thus providing a more reliable choice for the application of high-voltage cable insulating materials.

[0014] 2. Through the synergistic use of a primary antioxidant and a secondary antioxidant, through a multi-path mechanism of free radical capture-peroxide decomposition-metal passivation, the present invention realizes a comprehensive improvement in the heat-oxygen aging resistance, electrical properties and mechanical stability of the material.

[0015] 3. In the present invention, 5 - oleoyloxy - 1,4 - naphthoquinone containing a polycyclic conjugated structure is used as a voltage stabilizer, which can efficiently consume the energy of high - energy electrons, significantly improve the electrical resistance performance of the material, and solve the problem of easy migration loss of traditional stabilizers. The combination of carbon black masterbatch and ultraviolet absorber meets the long - term stability of overhead cables in humid and ultraviolet environments. The polycyclic conjugated antioxidant significantly improves the electrical breakdown resistance and thermal - oxidative stability of cross - linked polyethylene insulating materials through a dual mechanism of free - radical capture - charge neutralization, reduces space charge accumulation, and improves the electrical breakdown resistance performance of the material. When compounded with a cross - linking agent, it inhibits thermal - oxidative degradation during high - temperature processing and long - term operation. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
