Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to a kind of semiconductor shielding resin composition, solid carbon-based cable shielding masterbatch and its preparation method, shielding material and cable, belong to cable material technical field. BACKGROUND

[0002] Cable shielding material is a kind of material used in the shielding layer of cable structure, and it plays an important role in high-voltage insulated cables. Its main function is to avoid the unevenness of surface electric field caused by the roughness, air gap, sharp burr and other reasons on the surface of the conductor, and to reduce the probability of insulation breakdown due to partial discharge and further development to breakdown. With the development of cable technology, cable shielding material has also undergone continuous improvement and innovation.

[0003] Initially, the semiconductive layer was mainly implemented by wrapping semiconductive cloth, but the wrapping of semiconductive cloth had obvious defects, such as the problem of voids, the problem of smoothness, the problem of strength and aging performance, etc. Although some medium and high voltage cable structures still use semiconductive cloth to bundle the center conductor, the semiconductive shielding layer of polymer composite material is an indispensable cable structure. The semiconductive shielding material belongs to a composite material with polymer as the matrix, which is composed of conductive fillers and other additives in the high molecular matrix.

[0004] The use of carbon black in cable shielding material is a common technique, which can provide excellent electrical conductivity and shielding effect. With the development of cable industry, carbon black technology has been continuously improved and applied. In cable shielding material, carbon black is usually added in the form of particles or nanoparticles. Carbon black has high electrical conductivity, which can effectively shield electromagnetic interference and static electricity, protecting the signal transmission inside the cable. Carbon black also has excellent wear resistance and aging resistance, which can improve the service life of the cable. Currently, the surface of carbon black is usually modified in the field to improve its dispersibility and increase its compatibility with other materials. The modified carbon black can be more uniformly dispersed in the shielding material, improving the shielding effect and mechanical properties. However, there are still some problems in the use of carbon black in cable shielding material. First of all, the amount of carbon black added and its dispersibility have a great influence on the shielding effect and mechanical properties, but it is difficult to find a balance. Excessive addition of carbon black will cause the material to become hard and brittle, affecting the flexibility of the cable, while insufficient addition of carbon black will reduce the shielding effect and increase the electromagnetic interference of the cable. Secondly, the electrical conductivity and shielding effect of carbon black may decrease over time, which may gradually reduce the performance of the cable.

[0005] Carbon black as a cable shielding material has mature technology development, but there are still some problems to be solved, and it is still necessary to improve its dispersibility and compatibility to further improve the performance and reliability of cable shielding material.

[0006] To address these issues, several novel cable shielding materials have been developed in recent years. For example, composite conductor materials are used in cable shielding layers. These materials offer excellent shielding performance while being lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and easy to process. Furthermore, new conductive materials, such as conductive polymers and conductive fibers, are also being used in cable shielding. However, current cable shielding materials still suffer from several problems, such as insufficient thermal and electrical conductivity, poor volume resistivity temperature stability (PTC effect), and the potential for aging and performance degradation during long-term use, requiring further improvements to adapt to more complex electromagnetic environments.

[0007] In summary, while cable shielding materials are constantly being developed and innovated, they still face some challenges and problems, requiring further improvement in thermal and electrical conductivity.

[0008] To further illustrate the existing technology, the applicant provides the following relevant documents and explanations.

[0009] CN108178854 A discloses an electromagnetic shielding rubber, its preparation method, and an electronic device thereof. The electromagnetic shielding rubber comprises: a rubber matrix, additives, carbon nanotubes, graphene, acetylene black, silver powder, copper powder, silver-plated glass microspheres, silver-plated nickel powder, nickel powder, iron oxide, and nickel oxide. This electromagnetic shielding rubber achieves a three-dimensional electromagnetic shielding protection system by mixing the rubber matrix with fillers such as carbon nanotubes, graphene, additives, acetylene black, silver powder, copper powder, silver-plated glass microspheres, silver-plated nickel powder, nickel powder, iron oxide, and nickel oxide, through one-dimensional, two-dimensional, and three-dimensional filler compounding. This enhances the shielding effectiveness of the electromagnetic shielding rubber while simultaneously reducing the amount of filler added and improving the mechanical properties of the electromagnetic shielding rubber. Based on 100 parts by weight of the rubber matrix, the amount of additives added is 1-5 parts by weight, the amount of carbon nanotubes added is 1-20 parts by weight, the amount of graphene added is 1-20 parts by weight, the amount of acetylene black added is 1-20 parts by weight, the amount of silver powder added is 20-200 parts by weight, the amount of copper powder added is 20-200 parts by weight, the amount of silver-plated glass microspheres added is 20-200 parts by weight, the amount of silver-plated nickel powder added is 20-200 parts by weight, the amount of nickel powder added is 20-200 parts by weight, the amount of iron oxide added is 20-200 parts by weight, and the amount of nickel oxide added is 20-200 parts by weight.

[0010] To address the problem that existing electromagnetic shielding rubber technologies require the addition of large amounts of metal oxides or metal powders to the rubber matrix to construct conductive or magnetic networks, and that poor interfacial adhesion between metal oxides / powders and rubber leads to a decline in the mechanical properties of the rubber matrix with excessive filling, this patent application aims to provide an electromagnetic shielding rubber with excellent shielding effectiveness while improving its mechanical properties using a small amount of filler. However, this patent application contains too many components and mixes fillers with different properties, such as carbon materials, metals, and glass, resulting in uneven distribution of the rubber matrix and agglomeration of various filler types, which in turn causes a significant deterioration in shielding performance, mechanical properties, and thermal conductivity.

[0011] CN110498964 A discloses a thermoplastic semiconductive shielding material for high-voltage cables, wherein the material comprises the following components in parts by weight: 15-40 parts polypropylene, 30-50 parts polyolefin copolymer elastomer, 15-40 parts conductive carbon black, 0.1-5.0 parts composite conductive powder, 0.5-10 parts lubricant and dispersant, and 0.5-5.0 parts antioxidant; the composite conductive powder is MXene-graphene, MXene-carbon nanotube, or graphene-carbon nanotube composite conductive powder. By preparing composite two-dimensional conductive fillers, such as two-dimensional layered transition metal carbides MXene-graphene (MXene-GNS), MXene-carbon nanotube (MXene-CNT), or graphene-carbon nanotube (GNS-CNT) composite conductive fillers, a highly interconnected conductive network pathway is provided, allowing the addition of a small amount of a second conductive component to significantly reduce the volume resistivity of the composite semiconductive shielding material, improve resistivity temperature stability, and ensure excellent electrical performance. At the same time, the amount of conductive carbon black used was reduced, and the processing performance of the shielding material was improved.

[0012] This patent application addresses the shortcomings of existing high-voltage cable semiconducting shielding materials. In these materials, the volume expansion of the non-crosslinked thermoplastic polymer matrix disrupts the carbon black conductive network upon temperature increases, leading to a rapid rise in volume resistivity. Furthermore, to achieve the required low resistivity and reduce temperature dependence, a high carbon black content is necessary, increasing the melt viscosity and hindering processing. The patent aims to overcome these deficiencies by providing a high-voltage cable thermoplastic semiconducting shielding material with low volume resistivity and low temperature dependence. However, it does not consider the electrothermal aging and insulation degradation caused by poor thermal conductivity, has a complex preparation method, and suffers from filler dispersion issues within the matrix.

[0013] CN108864527A discloses a semi-conductive shielding layer material for polypropylene insulation of high-voltage cables, comprising, by weight: 20-50 parts of polypropylene base material, 50-80 parts of elastomer base material, 20-55 parts of conductive carbon black, 0.5-2.5 parts of synergistic antioxidant, 0.01-3.0 parts of copper inhibitor, and 0.5-10 parts of lubricant and dispersant; wherein the total amount of polypropylene base material and elastomer base material is 100 parts, and the polypropylene base material is a blend of homopolymer polypropylene and copolymer polypropylene in a weight ratio of 0-10:1, wherein the melt index of the homopolymer polypropylene is 1.0-5.0 g / 10min, and the melt index of the copolymer polypropylene is 1.0-5.0 g / 10min. It also contains no more than 1.0 part of graphene by weight. The semiconductive shielding layer material provided in this patent application has advantages such as excellent mechanical properties, good copper resistance, non-crosslinking, and fast extrusion speed; however, it cannot significantly reduce the volume resistivity of the shielding material or the temperature dependence of volume resistivity, thus the improvement in resistivity stability is limited. In addition, its thermal conductivity and electrical conductivity still need further improvement.

[0014] Therefore, how to simultaneously enhance the thermal conductivity and electrical conductivity of conductive carbon black in shielding materials and enable the shielding materials to have excellent temperature stability of volume resistivity, i.e., a lower PTC effect, remains a problem that urgently needs to be solved in this field.

[0074] Analysis and testing methods:

[0075] o-Dichlorobenzene soluble content:

[0076] This invention analyzes the soluble fraction of propylene-based multiphase copolymers using crystallization and fractionation equipment (e.g., A-TREF or CEF) from PolymerCharts. The experimental procedure is as follows:

[0077] The propylene-based multiphase copolymer was dissolved in o-dichlorobenzene at 160 °C. After 120 minutes, the temperature was lowered to 95 °C at a rate of 30 °C / min, and then crystallized to 35 °C at a rate of 2 °C / min. Simultaneously, o-dichlorobenzene was pumped at a rate of 0.05 mL / min and the column was slowly rinsed. After crystallization, the temperature was increased to 150 °C at a rate of 4 °C / min and 1 mL / min. The sample information during the rinsing process was recorded using an IR-5 infrared detector to obtain the crystallization rinsing fractionation curve and the content of o-dichlorobenzene solubles at room temperature.

[0078] Volume resistivity and PTC intensity:

[0079] According to the national standard GB / T 3048.3-2007, the volume resistivity of the target cable shielding material was measured using a four-electrode system. The experiments were conducted at 30℃, 50℃, 60℃, 70℃, 90℃ and 110℃. After the experiment, the logarithmic difference between the volume resistivity at 110℃ and the volume resistivity at 30℃ was taken as the PTC intensity.

[0080] Filled semiconductive polymers all exhibit a positive temperature coefficient (PTC) effect, where volume resistivity increases with temperature. A severe PTC effect can reduce or even eliminate the effectiveness of the shielding layer, thus affecting cable safety. Therefore, cable shielding materials must have high temperature stability in volume resistivity, i.e., low PTC strength.

[0081] Surface smoothness:

[0082] The target cable shielding material is extruded into strips with a thickness of 0.3 mm using a single-screw extruder equipped with a flat die; these are the test strips. The test strips are then maintained under constant mechanical tension at a certain speed by a casting roller and moved by a winding machine. The strips are advanced to the measurement area of ​​an optical inspection system. An online camera connected to a computer records images of the extruded strip surface and performs image analysis. Finally, the number of defects on the test strip surface is classified according to size and shape, yielding a percentage per meter. 2 The number of defects or bumps.

[0083] DC breakdown strength:

[0084] The DC breakdown strength of the target shielding material was tested according to the method specified in GB / T 1408-2006. During the test, the output AC voltage was 0-100kV, using 10mm diameter ball-to-ball copper electrodes with a voltage ramp rate of 2kV / s. The thin film sample diameter was 15cm and the thickness was 0.20mm. Each sample group had at least 10 measurement points. Both the test sample and the electrodes were immersed in silicone oil (treated in a 70℃ vacuum oven for 24 hours before testing) to prevent surface discharge.

[0085] Thermal conductivity:

[0086] The target shielding material was hot-pressed into a circular sheet with a diameter of 30 mm and a thickness of 2 mm. Thermally conductive silver grease was then applied to both sides, and the sheet was placed between hot and cold electrodes for thermal conductivity testing. The applied pressure was approximately 300 N, and the test stabilization time was 300 s.

[0087] Preparation Example 1

[0088] This preparation example provides a propylene-based multiphase copolymer, which is prepared by a method including the following specific steps:

[0089] 1g of MgCl2-supported Ti catalyst, 8.0g of triethylaluminum, and 1.1g of isobutyltriethoxysilane were pre-contaminated at 10°C for 30min and then continuously fed into the first polymerization reactor to complete the first stage polymerization reaction. The temperature of the first stage polymerization reaction was 70°C and the reaction pressure was 4.0MPa. Liquid propylene and ethylene were added to the first polymerization reactor and hydrogen was introduced at the same time. The temperature was maintained at 70°C and the reaction pressure was 4.0MPa. After the materials were kept in the first polymerization reactor for 1 hour, propylene-ethylene copolymer was obtained.

[0090] The product obtained from the first polymerization reactor is fed into the second polymerization reactor. Propylene and 1-butene are added to the second polymerization reactor to carry out a polymerization reaction. The polymerization reaction temperature in this stage is 75°C, the reaction pressure is 1.5 MPa, and the residence time of the material in the reactor is 3 hours.

[0091] The reaction product obtained from the second polymerization reactor was subjected to wet nitrogen gas to remove the activity of unreacted catalyst and then heated and dried to obtain polymer powder.

[0092] The polymer powder was mixed with pentaerythritol tetrakis[β-(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)propionic acid] at an antioxidant content of 0.2% of the total weight of the semiconductor shielding resin composition, and then melt-extruded and granulated to obtain a mixture of propylene-based multiphase copolymer and antioxidant.

[0093] The content of o-dichlorobenzene solubles in the propylene-based multiphase copolymer was measured according to the analytical testing method provided above. The content of o-dichlorobenzene solubles in the propylene-based multiphase copolymer obtained in this preparation example of the present invention is 40.0 wt%.

[0094] Examples 1-5

[0095] This embodiment provides a series of cable shielding materials, denoted as EX1-EX5, which are prepared using a method including the following specific steps:

[0096] The mixture of propylene-based multiphase copolymer and antioxidant provided in Preparation Example 1, along with the multi-carbon-based nano-conductive additive, was dispersed in 200 mL of ethanol, and 1.5 g of sodium dodecyl sulfonate was added. The mixture was ultrasonically dispersed at 30 °C for 20 min to obtain a dispersion.

[0097] After the dispersion is poured into the mold, it is centrifuged and filtered to allow the graphene, carbon nanotubes and acetylene black in the dispersion to form a three-dimensional conductive and thermally conductive dual-enhanced network inside the propylene-based multiphase copolymer composition.

[0098] The solution in the mold is dried to evaporate the solvent, ultimately yielding a solid carbon-based cable shielding masterbatch.

[0099] The solid carbon-based cable shielding masterbatch and the propylene-based multiphase copolymer provided in Preparation Example 1 are then mixed and extruded using a stretch rheology plasticizing extrusion device to obtain a semiconductor shielding material, i.e., a cable shielding material. During extrusion, the temperature of each section of the stretch rheology plasticizing extrusion device is 220°C, the rotor speed is 90 rpm, the feeder speed is 50 rpm, and the length-to-diameter ratio of the stretch rheology plasticizing extrusion device is 35.

[0104]

[0105] Comparative Example 11

[0106] This comparative example provides a cable shielding material, denoted as CE11, which differs from Example 2 only in that: instead of preparing a solid carbon-based cable shielding masterbatch, a propylene-based multiphase copolymer and a multi-component carbon-based nano-conductive additive are directly mixed and extruded in a stretching rheological plasticizing extrusion apparatus. The specific operation steps are as follows:

[0107] The propylene-based multiphase copolymer, graphene, carbon nanotubes, and acetylene black provided in Preparation Example 1 were mixed and extruded through a stretch rheology plasticizing extrusion apparatus to obtain a semiconductor shielding material, i.e., a cable shielding material. During extrusion, the temperature of each section of the stretch rheology plasticizing extrusion apparatus was 220°C, the rotor speed was 90 rpm, the feeder speed was 50 rpm, and the length-to-diameter ratio of the stretch rheology plasticizing extrusion apparatus was 35.

[0108] Comparative Example 12

[0109] This comparative example provides a cable shielding material, denoted as CE12, which differs from Example 2 only in that the mixing and extrusion steps use a conventional twin-screw extruder.

[0114] Test case

[0115] This test example, following the analytical testing methods provided above, examines the DC breakdown strength, volume resistivity at 30℃, volume resistivity at 110℃, and per m of EX1-EX5 and CE1-CE14, respectively. 2 The number of bulges or defects, thermal conductivity, and PTC strength were tested, and the experimental results are shown in Table 2 below.

[0116] Table 2

[0117]

[0118]

[0119] As can be seen from Table 2 above, the cable shielding materials provided in Examples 1-5 of the present invention exhibit excellent DC breakdown strength, volume resistivity at 30°C, volume resistivity at 110°C, number of bulges or defects per m2, thermal conductivity, and PTC strength.

[0120] Compared to Example 4, in Comparative Examples 1 and 3, only the amounts of graphene and carbon nanotubes are outside the scope of protection claimed in this application; the performance of the cable shielding materials obtained from these examples is significantly inferior to that of the cable shielding material provided in Example 4. Similarly, compared to Example 5, in Comparative Examples 2 and 4, only the amounts of graphene and carbon nanotubes are outside the scope of protection claimed in this application; the performance of the cable shielding materials obtained from these examples is also significantly inferior to that of the cable shielding material provided in Example 5. This indicates that the performance of the multi-component carbon-based nano-conductive additives is significantly inferior to that of the cable shielding material provided in Example 5. D / I G Provided that the mass ratio of propylene-based multiphase copolymer to multi-carbon-based nano-conductive additive is the same and meets the requirements, the amount of graphene and carbon nanotubes in the multi-carbon-based nano-conductive additive must be within the range of protection claimed in this application in order to obtain a high-performance cable shielding material.

[0121] Compared to Example 2, the only difference in Comparative Examples 5-8 is the composition of the multi-component carbon-based nano-conductive additives, namely, they all contain thermally cracked carbon black. The performance of the cable shielding materials obtained from them is significantly inferior to that of the cable shielding material provided in Example 2. This indicates that, under the same conditions and requirements, the multi-component carbon-based nano-conductive additives must simultaneously contain graphene, carbon nanotubes, and acetylene black to obtain a high-performance cable shielding material.

[0122] Compared to Example 2, in Comparative Examples 9 and 10, only the mass ratio of propylene-based multiphase copolymer to multi-carbon-based nano-conductive additives was outside the scope of protection claimed in this application. The performance of the cable shielding materials obtained from these examples was significantly inferior to that of the cable shielding material provided in Example 2. This indicates that, under the same conditions and requirements, the mass ratio of propylene-based multiphase copolymer to multi-carbon-based nano-conductive additives must be within the scope of protection claimed in this application in order to obtain a high-performance cable shielding material.

[0123] Compared to Example 2, Comparative Example 11 differs only in its preparation method, Comparative Example 12 differs only in the extrusion equipment used, and Comparative Examples 13-14 differ only in the aspect ratio of the stretch rheoplastic extrusion equipment. The performance of the cable shielding materials obtained from these examples is significantly inferior to that of the cable shielding material provided in Example 2. This indicates that, under the same conditions and requirements, the preparation method, the extrusion equipment used, and the aspect ratio of the stretch rheoplastic extrusion equipment must be within the range claimed in this application to obtain a high-performance cable shielding material.
