Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) technology, specifically to a high-strength insulating PET composite material, its preparation method, and its application in insulating covers. Background Technology
[0002] Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is an engineering plastic with excellent comprehensive properties, including high mechanical strength, good dimensional stability, excellent electrical insulation, and good heat and chemical corrosion resistance. Therefore, it is widely used in electrical insulation components, electronic and electrical appliance housings, and various structural parts, especially in insulating covers and housings of electrical equipment. However, pure PET material still has certain limitations in practical applications. First, PET is a flammable polymer with a low limiting oxygen index, making it prone to combustion or dripping under high temperatures or the thermal environment generated by long-term operation of electrical equipment. This makes it difficult to meet the stringent requirements of electrical equipment for flame retardancy and safety. Therefore, it is usually necessary to modify it by adding flame retardants. However, while traditional flame retardants improve the flame retardancy of the material, they often adversely affect the material's mechanical properties, thermal stability, and electrical insulation properties, and may even increase the material's brittleness, affecting its reliability in related products.
[0003] On the other hand, to further improve the strength and rigidity of PET materials, industrial manufacturers often modify them by adding reinforcing materials such as glass fibers and inorganic fillers. However, the PET matrix is a polar polyester structure, while common inorganic fillers or flame retardant particles have high surface energy and significant polarity differences, resulting in poor dispersion and weak interfacial bonding in the PET matrix. This leads to insufficient compatibility of the material system and makes it prone to agglomeration and interfacial debonding. This not only weakens the effect of reinforcing fillers on improving the mechanical properties of the material but also affects the uniformity of the overall material structure, thereby reducing the mechanical properties and long-term stability of the composite material. Furthermore, the poor compatibility between flame retardants and the PET matrix can also lead to flame retardant migration or precipitation, affecting the durability of the material.

[0045] Table 1 Performance Test Data of High-Strength Insulating PET Composite Material As can be seen from Table 1, the high-strength insulating PET composite materials prepared in Examples 5-7 of this application have good tensile strength, notched impact strength, flame retardant properties and insulation properties.
[0046] The compatibilizer prepared in this application is centered on a tertiary amine, with three long polyethylene glycol chains linked by amide bonds. Each chain's end is connected to a triethoxysilane group via a urethane bond. During melt processing, the terminal triethoxysilane group hydrolyzes to generate silanol, which undergoes a condensation reaction with the silanol groups on the glass fiber surface and inorganic insulating fillers (such as alumina) to form covalent bonds. This enhances the interfacial adhesion between the filler and the matrix, effectively transferring stress under external force and improving tensile strength. The amide bonds have strong polarity and can undergo hydrogen bonding and dipole interactions with the ester groups in the PET molecular chain, enabling the compatibilizer to form multiple interfacial interaction sites in the matrix. Simultaneously, the three-armed polyethylene glycol chains can form segmental entanglements with the PET molecular chains, thus forming a stable physical interaction network in the system. Under external force, this effectively restricts molecular chain slippage and improves interfacial stress transfer efficiency, thereby enhancing the overall stability of the material system and improving its impact resistance. The synergistic effect of multiple functional groups enables this compatibilizer to build a strong and flexible interfacial transition layer between the PET matrix and the reinforcing filler, thereby effectively improving toughness while maintaining rigidity, and achieving a simultaneous improvement in the tensile strength and impact resistance of the composite material.
[0047] The compatibilizer prepared in Comparative Example 2 used 3-propyl isocyanate methyl diethoxysilane with one less ethoxy group, which reduced the number of hydrolyzable groups at the end of the compatibilizer. This weakened the compatibilizer's ability to form covalent bonds with the glass fiber and inorganic filler surfaces, decreased the interfacial bonding force, and thus reduced the tensile strength and impact resistance of the composite material.
[0048] The modified flame retardant reinforcing agent prepared in this application is based on 9,10-dihydro-9-oxa-10-phosphaphenanthrene-10-oxide (DOPO), and incorporates multiple functional groups such as thioether bonds, eugenol benzene rings, and quinazoline structures. The P=O and POC functional groups contained in the modified flame retardant reinforcing agent can generate phosphoric acid substances during material combustion, promoting the dehydration and carbonization of the PET matrix to form a dense and stable carbon layer, thereby effectively isolating heat and oxygen and achieving condensed phase flame retardancy. Simultaneously, the quinazoline structure contains nitrogen-containing heterocycles, which can release inert gases during thermal decomposition and participate in the expansion and stabilization of the carbon layer structure, forming a PN synergistic flame retardant system with the phosphorus-based structure, further improving the limiting oxygen index of the material. Secondly, the eugenol benzene ring and sulfide segments endow the molecule with both rigidity and flexibility. The eugenol benzene ring enhances molecular rigidity and forms π-π stacking with the PET aromatic ring, promoting compatibility and uniform dispersion. The flexible sulfide bonds reduce interfacial rigidity differences, improve stress dispersion, and inhibit crack propagation, thereby enhancing tensile strength and notched impact strength. The multi-arm structure bridged by ester bonds achieves multi-point anchoring, further strengthening the filler-matrix interface bonding and preventing flame retardant migration and precipitation. The synergistic flame retardant effect of phosphorus, nitrogen, and sulfur elements, combined with the multifunctional interfacial reinforcement effect, enables this modified flame retardant to significantly improve the mechanical properties of PET composites while enhancing their flame retardant performance.
[0049] In Comparative Example 5, replacing 2-aminoquinazoline with 2-aminopyrimidine reduced the rigidity of the molecular skeleton, leading to a decrease in mechanical properties. Simultaneously, the molecular thermal stability and char-forming ability decreased, weakening the char barrier effect and resulting in reduced flame retardant properties.
[0050] The diphenylphosphine used in Comparative Example 7 lacks a stable P=O structure, resulting in weakened char-forming promoting ability and reduced density of the char layer, leading to decreased flame retardant properties. Simultaneously, the low polarity of diphenylphosphine weakens its compatibility with the PET matrix and interfacial interactions, hindering stress transfer and reducing the material's mechanical properties.
