AI Technical Summary
Existing polyolefin foam materials exhibit reduced cell wall thickness at high foaming ratios, making them prone to cracking or merging, leading to a decrease in closed-cell rate. Furthermore, inorganic nanofillers are unevenly dispersed in the non-polar polyolefin matrix, failing to provide effective reinforcement. Traditional modifiers also exhibit weak interfacial bonding, thus failing to improve the tensile and compressive strength of the material.
Silica nanorods were prepared using a P123/hydrochloric acid/tetraethyl orthosilicate system and co-modified with long-chain alkyl/aminosilanes. Zinc acetate was then used to neutralize maleic anhydride-grafted polypropylene wax to form zinc-ionized polypropylene wax, which formed a local network. This network was then combined with high melt strength polypropylene and metallocene polyethylene and foamed using supercritical nitrogen to construct a fine and uniform pore structure.
While reducing density, the material maintains good tensile strength, flexibility and insulation properties, and improves melt strength and cell stability, thus meeting the mechanical stress requirements of UAV cables under complex flight conditions.

Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of polyolefin foamed insulation materials, and relates to an ultra-light high-strength polyolefin foamed insulation material for a drone as well as a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the wide application of drones in the fields of logistics, surveying and mapping and inspection, higher technical indicators are put forward for the weight reduction of the airborne electronic and electrical architecture. As the carrier for power transmission and signal transmission of the drone, the weight of the cable directly affects the endurance and payload of the aircraft. The density of the traditional solid polyolefin insulation material cannot meet the demand of aviation-level lightweight. Therefore, the preparation of ultra-light polyolefin insulation material by using the microcellular foaming technology has become a research hotspot in the field of material science.
[0003] However, while achieving high foaming ratio, the existing polyolefin foamed material still has some deficiencies in preparation and application: first, with the increase of the foaming ratio, the bubble wall thickness decreases. In the foaming process of the traditional polypropylene or polyethylene matrix, the bubble wall often ruptures or merges due to the insufficient melt strength, resulting in a decrease in the closed cell rate. At the same time, due to the lack of effective rigid support structure, the tensile strength, wear resistance and compressive strength of the high foaming material usually decrease, which is difficult to adapt to the mechanical stress requirements of the drone under the complex flight conditions.
[0004] Secondly, in order to improve the strength, the existing technology often modifies by adding inorganic nano fillers (such as nano silicon dioxide, talc powder, etc.). However, the hydrophilic inorganic particles are prone to agglomeration in the non-polar polyolefin matrix, resulting in uneven dispersion. This not only cannot play a reinforcing role, but the agglomerates will become stress concentration points, pierce the bubble wall and cause the closed cell rate to decrease. In addition, the modification of the traditional silane coupling agent can only provide weak interfacial bonding force and cannot limit the slip of the polymer chain at the microscale, so the reinforcing effect is limited.

[0040] In the second aspect, the present application provides an ultra-light high-strength polyolefin foaming insulation material for unmanned aerial vehicles.
[0041] The application uses high melt strength polypropylene and metallocene polyethylene as polyolefin base resin, surface modified silica nanorods and zinc ionized polypropylene wax as structure regulating additives, and cooperates with supercritical nitrogen physical foaming process to construct a foaming insulating material with low density, high melt strength, good mechanical properties and insulation properties, which is used for unmanned aerial vehicle cable.
[0042] The application uses P123 / hydrochloric acid / orthosilicic acid ethyl ester system to prepare silica nanorods. P123 forms ordered micelles in acidic aqueous solution, orthosilicic acid ethyl ester is hydrolyzed and polycondensed around the micelles, and is further ordered and stacked in the crystallization stage at 90-100 DEG C, to finally form an inorganic / organic composite primary product. After washing and drying, slow temperature rising calcination is performed to remove the P123 organic template and promote further polycondensation of Si-OH into a stable Si-O-Si skeleton, to obtain silica nanorods with certain pore structure. The one-dimensional rigid particles can act as heterogeneous nucleating agents in the subsequent foaming process, increasing the number of nucleation and refining the cells, and can also play the role of "micro-scale support rib" in the cell wall. In the subsequent silane modification step in toluene, hexadecyl triethoxysilane and 3-aminopropyl triethoxysilane are introduced, and a layer of organic interface layer is formed on the surface of the nanorods through hydrolysis-condensation of silane and co-condensation with Si-OH. The long-chain alkyl segment improves the wettability and dispersibility of the inorganic rod in the polyolefin melt, reducing the risk of agglomeration during processing; a small amount of distributed -NH2 groups act as anchoring points for subsequent interface association with zinc ionized polypropylene wax, which is conducive to the construction of a stable rod-matrix interface structure.
[0043] The application neutralizes maleic anhydride grafted polypropylene wax with zinc acetate, converts the originally relatively free polar anhydride / carboxyl into Zn 2+ -carboxylate form, so that the polypropylene wax has ion aggregation ability. Melting the maleic anhydride grafted polypropylene wax provides diffusion and reaction conditions for hydrolysis of the anhydride group and acid-base exchange with zinc acetate. Zinc acetate reacts with the carboxylate group generated by the ring opening of the anhydride in the molten system to form a zinc carboxylate structure, while generating volatile byproducts such as acetic acid, which can be removed by subsequent vacuum extraction under negative pressure, reducing the impact of residual small molecules on the thermal stability and odor of the system. The obtained zinc ionized polypropylene wax still has a polypropylene structure on the molecular main chain, and has good compatibility with the high melt strength polypropylene and metallocene polyethylene matrix, but the Zn 2+ -carboxylate microzone introduced on the end group or side chain can form local ion clusters in the melt, showing reversible physical crosslinking characteristics similar to ionomers, to some extent improving the melt strength.
[0044] This application blends high melt strength polypropylene with metallocene polyethylene to form a matrix resin system that possesses both high melt strength and a certain degree of flexibility. High melt strength polypropylene provides long-chain branching and high melt elasticity, laying the foundation for stable cell structure at high foaming ratios; metallocene polyethylene improves the material's toughness and low-temperature resistance under actual bending and winding conditions. During twin-screw extrusion, surface-modified silica nanorods and zinc-ionized polypropylene wax are introduced into the melt. Utilizing the shearing and mixing action of the screw, the nanorods are uniformly dispersed in the matrix, while simultaneously promoting the growth of Zn... 2+ The carboxylate microdomains interact with the amino groups on the nanorod surface through multiple non-covalent interactions, including coordination, electrostatics, and hydrogen bonding. This allows the zinc-ionized polypropylene wax to spatially bridge the surface-modified silica nanorods and polyolefin matrix segments, forming localized physical cross-linking nodes. This helps to restrict local segment flow in the molten state, effectively suppressing excessive cell growth, merging, and collapse during foaming. Antioxidants inhibit free radical oxidation and peroxide decomposition during the blending extrusion process, reducing the thermo-oxidative degradation of high melt strength polypropylene and metallocene polyethylene, maintaining the stability of melt rheological behavior and the final material's mechanical and electrical properties. Subsequent vacuum drying of the composite masterbatch effectively removes moisture adsorbed near the nanorod pores and ionic groups, reducing bubble anomalies or dielectric property fluctuations caused by moisture in subsequent foaming stages.
[0045] This application involves melting the dried composite masterbatch in a single-screw extruder and injecting supercritical nitrogen gas. The melt is cooled in a cooling section, increasing its viscosity and elasticity. The long-chain branched structure of the high melt strength polypropylene, combined with Zn... 2+ The localized physical cross-linking network composed of carboxylate microregions, nanorods, and matrix chains collectively enhances the melt's load-bearing capacity under tension and shear, providing support for subsequent bubble nucleation and stabilization. When the melt is depressurized from the die outlet, the system reaches a supersaturated state, and nitrogen gas precipitates from the melt and undergoes nucleation and expansion. Surface-modified silica nanorods provide heterogeneous nucleation sites for bubbles, which is beneficial for increasing nucleation density, reducing bubble size, and improving bubble uniformity. During extrusion and stretching, the nanorods tend to exhibit a certain degree of orientation along the flow direction and bubble wall tangentially. Combined with the constraint effect of local ion association points on the movement of matrix chain segments, this results in a relatively enhanced microscopic support structure in the bubble wall region, thus maintaining bubble continuity and bubble wall integrity even at high foaming ratios. Macroscopically, the formation of a porous structure containing a large amount of gas phase within the material reduces density and relative permittivity. Simultaneously, relying on the mechanical properties of the matrix resin, the rigid support of the nanorods, and the ion-association-enhanced melt network, it helps to reduce density while maintaining the material's tensile strength, flexibility, and insulation properties.
[0046] In a third aspect, the application provides a cable prepared by using the ultra-light high-strength polyolefin foaming insulation material prepared by the preparation method.
[0047] Compared with the prior art, the application has the following beneficial effects: The application first prepares one-dimensional silica nanorods with pore structure by a P123 / hydrochloric acid / ethyl orthosilicate system, which is used as a heterogeneous nucleating agent and a bubble wall support skeleton in the foaming process; then the surface of the one-dimensional silica nanorods is co-modified by hexadecyl triethoxysilane and 3-aminopropyl triethoxysilane, which improves the dispersibility of the one-dimensional silica nanorods in the polyolefin melt and introduces a small amount of -NH2 as an anchoring point for interfacial association with the zinc ionized polypropylene wax.
[0048] The application neutralizes maleic anhydride grafted polypropylene wax by zinc acetate, converts anhydride / carboxyl into Zn 2+ -carboxylate, which enables the zinc ionized polypropylene wax to form local ionic clusters while maintaining the compatibility of the polypropylene main chain. The zinc ionized polypropylene wax exhibits reversible physical crosslinking similar to ionic polymers in the melt, which helps to improve the melt strength of the system.
[0049] The application constructs a base resin with high melt strength and flexibility by blending high melt strength polypropylene and metallocene polyethylene, introduces surface modified silica nanorods and zinc ionized polypropylene wax, and forms a local physical crosslinking network in a twin-screw extruder, which helps to improve the melt strength and to a certain extent, suppresses the bubble growth, merging and collapse in the foaming process, and on the other hand, cooperates with the antioxidant to inhibit thermal oxidative degradation, stabilize the rheological and electrical properties; subsequent vacuum drying removes the adsorbed water, reduces the risk of bubble defects and dielectric fluctuations.
[0050] The application injects supercritical nitrogen into the dried composite master batch and controls the temperature and pressure to realize the nucleation and growth of fine and uniform bubbles; relies on the local network of high melt strength polypropylene, silica nanorods and Zn 2+ -carboxylate to improve the melt bearing capacity and bubble wall support, so that the material can obtain high foaming, porous low dielectric structure, reduce the density, and still maintain good tensile strength, flexibility and insulation performance.

[0060] Comparative Example 4 This comparative example provides an ultra-light high-strength polyolefin foaming insulation material for drones, which is different from Example 1 in that in S3, surface modified silica nanorods are not added, and other operation steps and process parameters are exactly the same as those of Example 1.
[0061] Comparative Example 5 The comparative example provides a super-light high-strength polyolefin foaming insulation material for a drone, which is different from example 1 in that S2 is omitted, and the maleic anhydride grafted polypropylene wax is directly used in S3 to replace the zinc ionized polypropylene wax, and the other operation steps and process parameters are exactly the same as those of example 1.
[0062] The super-light high-strength polyolefin foaming insulation material for a drone of examples 1-4 and comparative examples 1-5 is subjected to performance testing, and the specific process is as follows: The density of the sample is tested according to GB / T 1033.1-2008; The tensile strength of the sample is tested according to GB / T 1040.2-2022; The volume resistivity of the sample is tested according to GB / T 31838.2-2019; The dielectric breakdown strength of the sample is tested according to GB / T 1408.1-2016; The relative dielectric constant of the sample is tested according to GB / T 1409-2006; Torsion performance test: after the prepared super-light high-strength polyolefin foaming insulation material for a drone is made into a cable, a torsion tester is used to test the torsion at a frequency of 60 times / min, a torsion angle of ±180°, and a torsion distance of 500 mm, until the sheath of the cable is broken, and the number of torsions is recorded.
[0063] The test results are shown in Table 1.
[0064] Table 1: Performance test results of the super-light high-strength polyolefin foaming insulation material for a drone of examples 1-4 and comparative examples 1-5 From the test results of example 1 and comparative example 1 in Table 1, in S3, without adding surface modified silica nanorods and zinc ionized polypropylene wax, the melt lacks effective heterogeneous nucleation points and local support networks, and under high foaming ratio, the bubbles are more likely to grow, merge and locally collapse, and the foaming structure is difficult to fully develop, resulting in increased density; the large cell size and poor bubble wall continuity reduce the effective bearing cross section, so the tensile strength decreases, and under repeated torsional load, local stress concentration is more likely to cause crack initiation and propagation, and the number of torsions decreases. Due to the small amount of polar components in the system, the volume resistivity is maintained, but the uneven electric field distribution caused by internal defects and holes reduces the dielectric breakdown strength. Insufficient foaming and high volume fraction of the real phase make the overall relative dielectric constant large.
[0065] From the test results of Example 1 and Comparative Example 2 in Table 1, it can be seen that in S1, the mixing modifier is omitted, and in S3, the silica nanorods are directly used. Although inorganic rigid phase is introduced into the system, due to the strong hydrophilicity of the particle surface and the limited compatibility with the polyolefin matrix, the dispersion in the melt is insufficient, the nucleation is uneven, and local filler-rich areas may also be formed, resulting in limited foaming structure refinement effect and overall density increase. Insufficient interface bonding and the presence of micro-agglomerates weaken the effective load-bearing capacity of the bubble wall, resulting in a decrease in tensile strength and torsional times. The unmodified inorganic surface is more prone to adsorb moisture and ionic impurities, and the interface defects disturb the electric field, resulting in a decrease in volume resistivity and dielectric breakdown strength. Due to insufficient foaming and a high proportion of solid phase, and the introduction of local polarization by the polar interface layer, the relative dielectric constant increases.
[0066] From the test results of Example 1 and Comparative Example 3 in Table 1, it can be seen that in S1, only hexadecyl triethoxysilane is used without adding 3-aminopropyl triethoxysilane, and the hydrophobic long chain on the surface of the nanorods improves its wettability and dispersibility in the polyolefin matrix, and the heterogeneous nucleation effect is more obvious, so the density increases slightly. At the same time, well-dispersed rigid nanorods provide some support to the bubble wall, but due to the lack of -NH2 anchor points provided by 3-aminopropyl triethoxysilane, stable interface association between zinc ionized polypropylene wax and nanorods is difficult to form, and the local network in the melt is incomplete, resulting in slightly inferior bubble wall stability at high foaming ratio, and a slight decrease in tensile strength and torsional life. Due to slightly weaker foaming and network synergy, the dielectric breakdown strength decreases slightly; the overall equivalent polarization capacity increases slightly due to relatively insufficient foaming and a slightly lower gas phase volume fraction, and the relative dielectric constant increases slightly.
[0067] From the test results of Example 1 and Comparative Example 4 in Table 1, it can be seen that in S3, no surface-modified silica nanorods are added, and Zn 2+ -Carboxylate microzones can form certain ionic aggregates in the melt, thereby improving the melt strength, but due to the lack of one-dimensional rigid nanorods providing efficient heterogeneous nucleation and bubble wall skeleton, the bubble refinement and bubble wall toughening effects are limited, and the density increases. The incomplete melt network structure leads to insufficient local load-bearing capacity of the bubble wall, resulting in a decrease in tensile strength and torsional times; the ionized wax has been neutralized, the overall polarity is controlled, and the volume resistivity is maintained, but due to insufficient foaming structure uniformity and interface stability, the dielectric breakdown strength decreases. Due to insufficient foaming and a low gas phase volume fraction, the relative dielectric constant increases.
[0068] From the test results of Example 1 and Comparative Example 5 in Table 1, S2 is omitted, and maleic anhydride grafted polypropylene wax is directly used in S3 instead of zinc ionized polypropylene wax. The system retains more anhydride and carboxyl groups, etc. polar groups, which can act as certain compatibilizers to some extent, improving the interface bonding between the filler and the matrix, but due to the lack of Zn2+ The carboxylate salt local network is difficult to form effective ion cluster physical crosslinking in the melt, the melt strength is limited to improve, the cell stability is insufficient under high foaming conditions, which is manifested as slightly increased density, insufficient cell wall carrying capacity, and decreased tensile strength and torsion times. Unneutralized polar groups are more prone to moisture absorption and participate in polarization under an electric field, resulting in decreased volume resistivity; at the same time, the relative dielectric constant increases due to the increased effective polarization ability caused by the polar phase and adsorbed moisture, and the dielectric breakdown strength decreases.

It should be understood by those skilled in the art that any changes or replacements within the technical scope disclosed by the present application can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art, and all such changes and replacements fall within the protection scope and disclosure scope of the present application.
