Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of molecular weight distribution prediction technology, and in particular to a machine learning-based method for predicting the molecular weight distribution of polypropylene film capacitor dielectric materials and a machine learning-based device for predicting the molecular weight distribution of polypropylene film capacitor dielectric materials. Background Technology
[0002] Film capacitors are widely used in power electronics, new energy vehicles, and photovoltaic power generation due to their excellent electrical properties and broad application prospects. Polypropylene (PP) film, as the core dielectric material of film capacitors, has a significant impact on its molecular weight distribution (MWD) regarding voltage withstand rating, reliability, and processing performance. Studies have shown that the molecular weight distribution of PP is closely related to its crystallization behavior, rheological properties, mechanical properties, and electrical properties. While an excessively wide molecular weight distribution is beneficial for processing, it leads to reduced film strength; conversely, an excessively narrow molecular weight distribution, while improving film strength, reduces processing performance. To balance mechanical and processing properties, a molecular weight distribution of PP between 4 and 6 is ideal. Therefore, precisely controlling the molecular weight distribution of PP is crucial for optimizing the performance of film capacitors.
[0003] However, traditional methods for determining molecular weight distribution (such as gel permeation chromatography) are time-consuming and cannot achieve real-time monitoring. With the development of machine learning technology, it has become possible to predict material properties using big data and algorithmic models. Currently, there is no efficient method for predicting the molecular weight distribution of polypropylene film capacitor dielectric materials. Summary of the Invention

[0065] Experimental data on the catalytic polymerization of polypropylene were collected from published literature both domestically and internationally, totaling 233 sets. The data cover different polymerization conditions, including reaction temperature, reaction pressure, and catalyst dosage.
[0066] In this embodiment, the data sources are divided into the training dataset and the test set as described above.
[0067] In this embodiment, the dataset is divided into a training dataset (80%) and a test dataset (20%), and the model is trained using the training dataset. The dataset is divided using the `train_test_split` function.
