Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of cable insulation material technology, specifically a PTFE film-based cable insulation material and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of cable insulation materials, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is an ideal substrate due to its excellent resistance to high and low temperatures, chemical stability, and electrical insulation properties. However, in practical applications, various insulating fillers (such as carbon nanotubes, inorganic nanoparticles, etc.) are often added to the PTFE matrix to further improve its mechanical properties, thermal conductivity, or insulation properties.

[0003] However, PTFE has a highly symmetrical molecular chain structure and extremely low polarity, while most insulating fillers often have certain polarity or functional groups on their surface, resulting in poor compatibility between the two. Furthermore, the insulating fillers themselves, due to their high surface energy, are prone to agglomeration, making it difficult to achieve uniform dispersion within the PTFE matrix. This not only affects the material's processing performance but also leads to fluctuations or decreases in the mechanical, insulation, and thermal conductivity properties of the finished product, limiting the application of PTFE-based cable insulation materials in high-performance fields. Therefore, improving the compatibility between insulating fillers and the PTFE matrix, and enhancing the uniformity of filler dispersion, has become a critical issue that urgently needs to be addressed in this field. Summary of the Invention

S2: Dilute the iodide salt tenfold in deionized water and pass it through an anion exchange resin column to obtain an aqueous solution of hydroxide; add heptadecafluorooctane sulfonic acid to the aqueous solution of hydroxide to neutralize the solution, evaporate and concentrate, add the crude product to acetone, pass it through a short column packed with activated alumina, evaporate and remove the acetone, and dry under vacuum at 60-65℃ to obtain a fluorine-containing ionic liquid. Furthermore, in the preparation process of the fluorine-containing ionic liquid, the molar ratio of hydroxide to heptadecafluorooctane sulfonic acid is 1:(1.1-1.2); S3: Carbon nanotubes are ultrasonically dispersed in deionized water, and organosilicon quaternary ammonium salt is added and homogenized to obtain a carbon nanotube suspension; the suspension is then vacuum filtered, and the filtered product is washed with deionized water to obtain modified carbon nanotubes; a water glass solution is added to deionized water and stirred evenly to obtain a water glass aqueous solution; the modified carbon nanotubes are ultrasonically dispersed in deionized water, and the water glass aqueous solution is added and homogenized; the suspension is then vacuum filtered, and the product is washed with deionized water. The adsorption-washing process is repeated 4-5 times, and the product is calcined at 400-405℃ for 5-6 hours to obtain water glass modified carbon nanotubes; Furthermore, in the preparation process of the carbon nanotube suspension, the mass ratio of carbon nanotubes to organosilicon quaternary ammonium salt is 1:(0.5-1); Furthermore, the water glass solution contains 28-30 wt% silica and 9-10% sodium oxide. Furthermore, the concentration of the water glass aqueous solution is 0.8-1 wt%; Furthermore, the organosilicon quaternary ammonium salt is dimethyloctadecyl[3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl]ammonium chloride; S4: Add oleic acid to a reaction vessel, add phosphorus trichloride while stirring, heat to 55-60℃ and react for 4-4.5h to obtain oleyl chloride; add polyethylene polyamine to a reaction vessel, add oleyl chloride while stirring, react at room temperature for 1-1.5h, add deionized water, stir evenly, filter, wash the product with deionized water until neutral to obtain a bio-based compatibilizer. Furthermore, in the preparation process of oleoyl chloride, the molar ratio of oleic acid to phosphorus trichloride is 1:1; Furthermore, in the preparation process of the bio-based compatibilizer, the mass ratio of polyethylene polyamine to oleoyl chloride is 1:(2-3); S5: Water glass modified carbon nanotubes are added to a bio-based compatibilizer, heated to 70-75℃ and stirred for 30-45 minutes to obtain an insulating filler; fluorine-containing ionic liquid is added to polytetrafluoroethylene and stirred evenly, ethylene-propylene copolymer is added and stirred evenly, insulating filler is added and stirred evenly to obtain a polytetrafluoroethylene mixture; the polytetrafluoroethylene mixture is cast and coated onto a substrate, dried, sintered, peeled off, and wound to obtain a cable insulation layer material based on PTFE film.

[0006] Furthermore, in the preparation process of the insulating filler, the mass ratio of water glass modified carbon nanotubes to bio-based compatibilizer is (30-50):1; Furthermore, the proportions of each component in the PTFE-based cable insulation layer material, by mass parts, include: 80-100 parts of polytetrafluoroethylene, 10-20 parts of fluorine-containing ionic liquid, 1-5 parts of ethylene-propylene copolymer, and 10-15 parts of insulating filler. Furthermore, the molecular weight of the polytetrafluoroethylene is 30,000-200,000.

[0007] Furthermore, the thickness of the PTFE-based cable insulation layer material is 20-200 μm; Furthermore, the film-forming drying temperature is 20-80℃; Furthermore, the sintering temperature is 350-400℃.

[0008] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: 1. This invention involves the self-preparation of a fluorinated ionic liquid. Utilizing its fluorine affinity and the principle of "like dissolves like," it exhibits a strong interaction with polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), which also contains fluorine. Some of the fluorinated ionic liquid forms micellar fluorine-rich domains composed of aggregated fluorinated alkyl chains, providing a suitable environment for the dissolution of PTFE. Furthermore, the low-polarity phosphine-cationic fluorinated ionic liquid has a weaker polar interaction with the non-polar PTFE, further enhancing their compatibility and ultimately improving the dispersibility and compatibility of the filler in the matrix.

[0009] 2. Using ethylene-acrylate copolymer as an interfacial synergist in conjunction with a prepared bio-based compatibilizer achieves the technical effect of building a "bridge". On the one hand, utilizing the anchoring effect of the -NR2 group in the bio-based solubilizer, it can be adsorbed and anchored on the surface of modified carbon nanotubes, effectively preventing the aggregation of modified carbon nanotubes and improving their dispersion uniformity in the PTFE matrix. The long hydrocarbon flexible chain can produce good compatibility with the non-polar structure of the PTFE matrix, enhancing the wetting and adhesion ability of the modified carbon nanotube surface in the PTFE matrix, thereby improving the interfacial bonding strength between modified carbon nanotubes and PTFE, reducing interfacial thermal resistance, and improving thermal conductivity. On the other hand, the addition of ethylene-acrylate copolymer further enhances the wetting and dispersion effect of modified carbon nanotubes as fillers.

[0010] 3. This invention forms a thick and uniform inorganic coating through layer-by-layer self-assembly. The modified carbon nanotubes are adsorbed by cationic precursor organosilicon quaternary ammonium salt and anionic water glass. After calcination, the organosilicon quaternary ammonium salt condenses to form the coating, which can effectively block the electronic transitions between carbon nanotubes, thereby achieving ultra-high volume resistivity. On the one hand, the coating has a good interfacial interaction with the matrix under the action of bio-based compatibilizer, reducing phonon scattering at the carbon nanotube-polymer interface and promoting thermal conduction. On the other hand, the layer-by-layer self-assembly method is a non-covalent modification that does not destroy the original highly crystalline structure of the carbon nanotubes and retains their intrinsic high thermal conductivity. The combined effect endows the PTFE film-based cable insulation material with excellent insulation and thermal conductivity. Detailed Implementation

[0025] Conclusion: The PTFE film-based cable insulation material prepared by this invention has excellent insulation and thermal conductivity.

[0026] In Comparative Example 1, deionized water was used instead of the fluorinated ionic liquid of this application, resulting in reduced dispersibility and compatibility, and a decrease in the performance of the PTFE membrane-based cable insulation material.

[0027] In Comparative Example 2, fluorine-containing ionic liquids were prepared using 1,2-dimethylimidazole, a highly polar substance, as a raw material. This resulted in stronger interactions, reduced dispersion and compatibility, and consequently, decreased performance of the PTFE-based cable insulation material.

[0028] In Comparative Example 3, the excessively thick self-coating layers on the surface of the modified nanotubes resulted in a significant decrease in thermal conductivity due to increased phonon scattering.

[0029] The lack of ethylene-propylene copolymer as an interface synergist in Comparative Example 4 resulted in reduced dispersibility and compatibility, leading to a decrease in the performance of the PTFE-based cable insulation material.
