Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of cable technology, and specifically relates to an aviation cable based on polyimide film. Background Technology
[0002] Polyimide film has broad application prospects in high-end cable fields such as aviation and aerospace due to its excellent high and low temperature resistance, electrical insulation properties, and mechanical properties. As a key component of the neural network of aircraft, the performance of aviation cables is directly related to the safety and reliability of the entire aircraft. Therefore, they need to be lightweight, high temperature resistant, flame retardant, highly reliable, and have excellent mechanical strength and environmental resistance.
[0003] Currently, polyimide film is used as insulation or sheathing material in aviation cables. However, traditional polyimide materials still have some shortcomings that limit their application in more demanding aviation environments. First, pure polyimide film generally has poor thermal conductivity, which is not conducive to the timely dissipation of heat generated when the cable is energized, potentially leading to localized overheating and affecting the cable's long-term service life and safety. Second, although polyimide itself has a certain degree of flame retardancy, its limiting oxygen index (LOI) still has room for improvement. To meet the extremely high fire safety requirements of the aviation field, its flame retardant performance needs to be further enhanced. Furthermore, under long-term mechanical stress, thermal stress, and potential radiation environments, the mechanical strength and durability of polyimide film may decrease, making it difficult to fully meet the requirements of long-life, high-reliability aviation applications.
[0004] To improve the performance of polyimide, existing technologies have attempted to add various inorganic fillers, such as boron nitride (BN) and alumina, to its matrix to enhance its thermal conductivity and flame retardant properties. However, untreated nanofillers tend to agglomerate in the polymer matrix, making uniform dispersion difficult. This not only fails to effectively construct a thermally conductive network but may also introduce defects, leading to a deterioration in the material's mechanical and insulation properties. Therefore, developing a modification technique that enables highly uniform dispersion of fillers in the polyimide matrix and the formation of a strong interfacial bond is crucial for preparing high-performance aerospace cables.
[0005] Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides an aviation cable based on polyimide film. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide an aviation cable based on polyimide film.
[0007] The objective of this invention can be achieved through the following technical solutions:
[0008] An aviation cable based on polyimide film includes a cable core, a braided layer, and a sheath layer arranged sequentially from the inside out;
[0009] The cable core is composed of multiple strands of wire, and each strand includes a conductor, an insulation layer, and a modified polyimide film from the inside out; wherein, the conductor is composed of tin-plated copper metal monofilaments stranded together, and the insulation layer is made of polytetrafluoroethylene.
[0010] The braided layer is made of silver-plated copper flat strip; the sheath layer is made of cross-linked ethylene-tetrafluoroethylene.
[0011] In a more optimized manner, the preparation process of the modified polyimide film is as follows:
[0012] Step 1: Under a protective atmosphere, 4,4'-diaminodiphenyl ether was added to N,N-dimethylacetamide and stirred until completely dissolved to obtain a 4,4'-diaminodiphenyl ether solution; modified boron nitride nanosheets were added to N,N-dimethylacetamide and ultrasonically dispersed; the resulting dispersion was added to the 4,4'-diaminodiphenyl ether solution and stirred evenly; 4,4'-(hexafluoroisopropene)phthalic anhydride was slowly added at 0-5℃ and stirred continuously for 24 h to obtain a polyamic acid mixed solution;
[0013] Step 2: Cast the polyamic acid mixture onto a glass substrate to form a film, and carry out a thermal imidization reaction under a protective atmosphere to obtain a modified polyimide film.
[0014] In a more optimized manner, the raw materials for preparing the polyamic acid mixed solution include the following components: by weight, 20-30 parts of 4,4'-diaminodiphenyl ether, 2-3 parts of modified boron nitride nanosheets, and 40-50 parts of 4,4'-(hexafluoroisopropene)phthalic anhydride.
[0015] More optimally, the parameters of the thermal imidization reaction are: 80℃ / 3h, 100℃ / 1h, 200℃ / 1h, and 300℃ / 1h.
[0016] In a more optimized manner, the preparation process of the modified boron nitride nanosheets is as follows:
[0017] A1: Under nitrogen protection, magnesium, iodine, and anhydrous tetrahydrofuran were mixed and stirred until homogeneous. A solution of anhydrous tetrahydrofuran containing 2-methyl-5-bromobenzimidazole was slowly added. The temperature was raised to 80-90℃ and refluxed for 1-2 hours. After cooling, the product was added dropwise to a solution of anhydrous tetrahydrofuran containing cyanuric chloride and stirred at 40-50℃ for 1-2 hours. After the reaction was completed, post-processing was performed to obtain intermediate 1.
[0018] A2: Under nitrogen protection, intermediate 1 and anhydrous aluminum chloride were added to anhydrous o-dichlorobenzene and stirred at room temperature for 30-40 min. Then resorcinol was slowly added, the temperature was raised to 80-90℃, and the reaction was stirred for 1-2 h. After the reaction was completed, the mixture was cooled to room temperature, ice water was slowly added, and the solvent was removed by vacuum distillation. The obtained solid was washed and dried to obtain intermediate 2.
[0019] A3: Mix intermediate 2, acetone, and potassium carbonate, and stir at 40-50℃ for 30-40 min. Then slowly add an acetone solution of 2-bromopropionic acid (6-methylheptyl) ester. After the addition is complete, raise the temperature to 70-80℃ and reflux for 6-7 h. After the reaction is complete, cool to room temperature, remove acetone by vacuum distillation, and then perform post-treatment to obtain the modifier.
[0020] A4: Boron nitride nanosheets were ultrasonically dispersed in N,N-dimethylformamide, a modifier was added, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 18-20 hours. The mixture was then filtered, washed, and dried to obtain modified boron nitride nanosheets.
[0021] In this scheme, firstly, a Grignard reagent is formed by reacting 2-methyl-5-bromobenzimidazole with magnesium scrap under iodine catalysis, which then reacts with cyanuric chloride to generate intermediate 1 with a triazine ring core. Subsequently, under Lewis acid anhydrous aluminum chloride catalysis, intermediate 1 undergoes an alkylation reaction with resorcinol to construct intermediate 2 with a larger planar conjugated structure. Afterward, the phenolic hydroxyl group of intermediate 2 undergoes an etherification reaction with 2-bromopropionic acid (6-methylheptyl) ester in the presence of potassium carbonate, grafting a long-chain alkyl ester onto it, ultimately yielding the target modifier. The extended planar conjugated system in the modifier's molecular structure allows it to be physically adsorbed onto the surface of boron nitride nanosheets through a strong π-π conjugation effect, while the introduced long-chain alkyl group effectively improves the compatibility and dispersion stability of boron nitride nanosheets in the organic polymer matrix, thus achieving efficient and stable surface modification.
[0022] The structure of the modifier is shown below:
[0023]
[0024] In a more optimized manner, the raw materials for preparing intermediate 1 include the following components: by weight, 4-5 parts magnesium, 1-2 parts iodine, 42-43 parts 2-methyl-5-bromobenzimidazole, and 18-20 parts cyanuric chloride.
[0025] In a more optimized manner, the raw materials for preparing intermediate 2 include the following components: by weight, 40-45 parts of intermediate 1, 2-3 parts of anhydrous aluminum chloride, and 11-12 parts of resorcinol.
[0026] In a more optimized manner, the raw materials for preparing the modifier include the following components: by weight, 50-55 parts of intermediate 2, 16-18 parts of potassium carbonate, and 25-30 parts of 2-bromopropionic acid (6-methylheptyl) ester.
[0027] In a more optimized manner, the raw materials for preparing the modified boron nitride nanosheets include the following components: 10-12 parts by weight of boron nitride nanosheets and 2-3 parts by weight of modifier.
[0028] The beneficial effects of this invention are:
[0029] This invention utilizes a specialized modifier to surface-modify boron nitride nanosheets and introduces them into a polyimide matrix, resulting in a comprehensive improvement in the performance of the resulting film. The modifier, through its planar conjugated structure, generates strong π-π adsorption with the boron nitride nanosheets. While fully preserving the intrinsic structure of the nanosheets, the long-chain alkyl groups at the ends achieve uniform and stable dispersion within the polyimide matrix, constructing a highly efficient thermal conductivity network and significantly enhancing thermal conductivity. Regarding flame retardancy, the triazine and benzimidazole rings in the modifier molecule play a crucial role. These nitrogen-rich heterocycles catalyze the formation of a dense char layer and release inert gases at high temperatures, achieving highly efficient fire resistance through the synergistic effect of gas-phase and condensed-phase flame retardancy. Simultaneously, the strong interfacial bonding based on π-π adsorption and the compatibilizing effect of the long-chain alkyl groups effectively transfers stress from the polymer matrix to the high-modulus nanosheets, thereby significantly enhancing the mechanical strength and durability of the film. This multi-layered synergistic effect enables the composite material to perfectly meet the stringent requirements of aerospace cables. Detailed Implementation

A solution of anhydrous tetrahydrofuran containing 2-methyl-5-bromobenzimidazole was slowly added. The temperature was raised to 80-90℃ and refluxed for 1-2 hours. After cooling, the product was added dropwise to a solution of anhydrous tetrahydrofuran containing cyanuric chloride and stirred at 40-50℃ for 1-2 hours. After the reaction was completed, post-processing was performed to obtain intermediate 1. A2: Under nitrogen protection, intermediate 1 and anhydrous aluminum chloride were added to anhydrous o-dichlorobenzene and stirred at room temperature for 30-40 min. Then resorcinol was slowly added, the temperature was raised to 80-90℃, and the reaction was stirred for 1-2 h. After the reaction was completed, the mixture was cooled to room temperature, ice water was slowly added, and the solvent was removed by vacuum distillation. The obtained solid was washed and dried to obtain intermediate 2. A3: Mix intermediate 2, acetone, and potassium carbonate, and stir at 40-50℃ for 30-40 min. Then slowly add an acetone solution of 2-bromopropionic acid (6-methylheptyl) ester. After the addition is complete, raise the temperature to 70-80℃ and reflux for 6-7 h. After the reaction is complete, cool to room temperature, remove acetone by vacuum distillation, and then perform post-treatment to obtain the modifier. A4: Boron nitride nanosheets were ultrasonically dispersed in N,N-dimethylformamide, a modifier was added, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 18-20 hours. The mixture was then filtered, washed, and dried to obtain modified boron nitride nanosheets.
