Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the intersection field of papermaking industry and polymer materials, and specifically relates to a high-performance aramid composite insulating paper-based material and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous pursuit of electrical system safety and operational efficiency in fields such as intelligent manufacturing, new energy, high-end power equipment, rail transportation, and aerospace, high-performance insulation materials, as one of the key basic materials, are facing higher requirements for their technological development. Under extreme working conditions such as high frequency, high voltage, high temperature, and strong electromagnetic environment, traditional paper-based insulation materials have obvious shortcomings in heat resistance, structural stability, electrical breakdown threshold, insulation retention rate, and long-term service reliability. At the same time, the new generation of electrical equipment has also posed significant challenges to the miniaturization, lightweighting, and composite nature of insulation systems. Insulation materials are required to maintain high electrical safety performance while also having excellent mechanical strength and dimensional stability to withstand mechanical vibration, electrothermal shock, and the multiple stress coupling caused by long-term operation. Therefore, how to design a high-performance insulating paper structure that combines thermal stability, dielectric strength, and mechanical toughness has become a core scientific and engineering issue to promote the safe and efficient operation of high-end electrical equipment and ensure the long-term reliability of key components.

[0003] Aramid insulation paper is a high-temperature, heat-resistant paper-based material widely used in the electrical industry. It is primarily made by wet-making a mixture of aramid fibrids and aramid chopped fibers in a specific ratio, followed by high-temperature calendering to form the final product. The aramid polymer chain segments are rich in benzene rings and highly polar amide bonds, resulting in extremely high thermal decomposition temperatures, excellent insulation resistance, and flame retardant stability. This makes it widely used in insulation systems with heat resistance grades F, H, and even higher. However, the highly crystalline structure and rigid molecular chains of aramid fibers result in significant surface chemical inertness, a scarcity of binding sites, and poor hydrophilicity. This makes it difficult for traditional chopped fibers to establish strong interfacial bonding with the fibrids during the papermaking process. This results in limited overall web formation and loose interfiber bonding, ultimately resulting in insufficient tensile strength and low electrical breakdown field strength, hindering the full realization of the inherent performance advantages of aramid materials. Therefore, effectively manipulating the fiber structure of aramid paper, enhancing interfacial bonding, and reducing costs have become a hot topic of research in recent years.

It can be used in many fields such as high-voltage motors, power transformers, cables and other high-temperature insulation scenarios.

[0024] The present invention has the following advantages and effects compared to the prior art:

[0025] The high-performance aramid composite insulating paper-based material of the present invention is subjected to micro-nanostructure control treatment on aramid fibers, and mechanical cracking is combined under different chemical pretreatment systems (such as DMSO / KOH swelling system and alkali solution relaxation system) to form highly dispersed micro-nanoscale aramid fibers. The micro-nano aramid fibers are submicron to nanoscale in size, and while maintaining the original heat resistance of aramid, the specific surface area and interfacial activity are significantly improved. In this way, micro-nano fiber units with a reinforcing effect are introduced into the interior of the aramid paper, so that they can not only form a synergistic skeleton with the precipitated fibers, but also establish an interface connection channel with modified nanocellulose as a cross-linked reinforcement bridge, achieving the dual effect of inter-fiber structural mosaic and network stability enhancement. The micro-nano treatment method transforms the surface of the aramid fiber from smooth to a multi-scale rough structure, and has controllable physical bendability and good water-phase dispersion performance, thereby significantly improving its adaptability in the wet papermaking system, significantly enhancing the spatial coordination effect of the aramid fiber in the paper-based system, and effectively improving the mechanical properties and electrical breakdown strength of the paper sheet.

[0026] Plant cellulose nanofibrils and bacterial cellulose are emerging green nanomaterials, which are further endowed with interfacial activity and cross-linking ability through surface modification in the present invention. By carboxylating or aldehyde-forming CNF and BC, reactive functional groups are constructed on their surfaces, so that this type of nanomaterial not only has network enhancement function in the aramid papermaking system, but also can serve as a chemical reaction bridge to form a stable structural synergistic interface with aramid micro-nanofibers. Through this type of modification, cellulose nanomaterials obtain the chemical basis required for interaction with aramid materials. The interface action form constructed includes not only hydrogen bond connection, but also forms chemical bond cross-linking under certain conditions, thereby enhancing the network connection strength between fibers. Cellulose nanofibrils have good dispersibility, film-forming properties and spatial support capabilities. They can be interwoven with aramid micro-nanofibers through physical entanglement in the wet papermaking stage to construct a three-dimensional multi-scale support structure, thereby improving the consistency and impact resistance of the internal structure of the paper sheet. Through activation modification treatment, plant cellulose nanofibrils are transformed from inert reinforcing components into active building units, which not only improves the mechanical stability and internal structural tightness of the composite paper base, but also reduces the production cost of existing aramid composite insulation paper base materials, and has huge market prospects and economic value.

[0027] In summary, the present invention significantly improves the overall performance of aramid composite paper-based materials by constructing a synergistically reinforced structural network composed of aramid micro-nano fibers and modified plant cellulose nanofibrils, and enhances the structural integration and interface synergy between the fibers inside the material. With the help of temperature, pressure and other parameter control in the wet papermaking and hot pressing molding processes, the multi-component fiber network is effectively fixed during the papermaking process, the paper sheet structure is dense, and the interlayer bonding is uniform and stable. In terms of process path, the present invention adopts an in-situ blending and compounding strategy of multi-scale reinforcing components, which has good industrial compatibility and process safety, can be seamlessly connected with existing aramid paper production equipment and papermaking processes, and is conducive to large-scale continuous production. In terms of performance structure, the present invention significantly improves the deficiencies of aramid paper in mechanical properties, electrical insulation properties, etc. through the triple path of structural activation, interface optimization and process integration, and expands its application prospects in high-performance insulation systems, special electrical materials and thermoelectric composite structures. The present invention achieves performance improvement while reducing manufacturing costs, and has outstanding technological advancement and broad market application value.
