Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of cable materials, specifically relating to a polyurethane material, its preparation method, and cable connectors containing the same. Background Technology

[0002] As a critical hub for energy transmission, the long-term operational reliability of cables directly depends on the comprehensive thermal-electrical-mechanical performance of their internal filling materials. With the continuous increase in grid voltage levels and load density, the temperature rise problem caused by the Joule heating effect of conductors is becoming increasingly prominent, and existing encapsulation systems, represented by silicone rubber or epoxy resin, have several limitations. For example, the inherent low thermal conductivity of silicone rubber matrix leads to continuous heat accumulation inside the joint, forming a vicious thermal cycle and accelerating the aging and failure of the insulation medium; while epoxy resin has advantages in mechanical strength, under the high filler content required to achieve effective thermal conductivity, the material exhibits significant shear-thinning characteristics and non-Newtonian fluid behavior, making it difficult to complete defect-free injection of complex multi-scale cavities within a limited construction window.

[0003] Compared to silicone rubber and epoxy resin, polyurethane molecular chains are flexible and rich in polar groups. This allows for the formation of continuous phonon channels through hydrogen bonding and microphase separation structures at low filler contents, achieving a balance between high thermal conductivity and low viscosity, enabling rapid heat dissipation and preventing localized overheating. Simultaneously, its low-polarity soft-hard segment synergistic network imparts higher intrinsic volume resistivity and lower dielectric loss, making it more suitable as a filler material matrix for cable joint components. However, a deeper structural contradiction in practical applications lies in the fact that when attempting to improve performance by directly adding thermally conductive fillers, the interfacial energy mismatch between the inorganic phase and the polyurethane organic matrix, along with the disordered topology of the dispersed phase, not only causes abnormal wide-range dielectric spectrum response but also induces electric field distortion, leading to irreversible attenuation of insulation strength. This triangular dilemma of thermal management failure, processability deterioration, and dielectric performance degradation means that traditional material systems can no longer meet the requirements of the new generation of high-voltage power equipment for filling media that are "high thermal conductivity, good insulation, high filling capacity, and good flowability." There is an urgent need to upgrade the structure through material compounding design and interface engineering so that such filling materials can simultaneously possess high thermal conductivity, good insulation, and flowability. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the problems that the existing polyurethane filler materials for cables cannot simultaneously achieve thermal conductivity, insulation and flowability, the present invention will provide a polyurethane material, a method for preparing the same, and a cable joint component containing the same.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the following technical solutions are specifically included: In a first aspect, the present invention provides a polyurethane material, which is prepared from component A and component B, wherein component A comprises the following raw material components in parts by weight: 50-100 parts of polyisocyanate, 10-20 parts of chain extender, 10-20 parts of plasticizer, 5-20 parts of spherical alumina, and 5-20 parts of flake alumina. Component B comprises the following raw material components in parts by weight: 30-40 parts of polyether polyol, 0.5-2 parts of interface modifier, 0.1-1 parts of defoamer, 0.1-2 parts of antioxidant, and 0.1-1 parts of catalyst.

[0006] The polyurethane material of this invention is obtained by reacting components A and B; and the polyurethane material includes two fillers with different morphologies: spherical alumina and lamellar alumina. The lamellar alumina forms a highly tortuous tunneling barrier along the electric field direction, effectively extending the electron migration path; the spherical alumina fills the interlayer micropores, reducing the free volume fraction of the system; the two form a multi-scale topological structure in the polyurethane matrix, constructing a spatially misaligned and segmented coupled insulating framework; at the same time, the polyurethane matrix itself has a low density of polar groups and a small dipole moment, which endows it with high intrinsic volume resistivity and low dielectric loss, providing a basic insulating barrier for the composite system.

[0007] An interface modifier introduces a nanoscale coupling layer on the surfaces of two alumina morphologies, enabling chemical bonding between the polyurethane and the alumina interfaces. This chemical bonding further suppresses polarization relaxation, ensuring stable overall insulation performance across a wide temperature range. Furthermore, the nanoscale coupling layer on the alumina surfaces can, on the one hand, block direct electron transitions at the inorganic-organic interface, and on the other hand, form deep-level traps to capture high-energy carriers, suppressing space charge accumulation and electric field distortion, thereby significantly improving the material's resistance to electrical tree aging.

[0008] Lamellar alumina constructs a highly oriented two-dimensional framework along the heat flow direction, providing low-scattering channels for phonons. Spherical alumina fills the gaps between the lamellar layers, forming point-to-surface composite contacts, reducing the thermal resistance at the lamellar interface and inhibiting agglomeration, thereby significantly expanding the effective thermal conductivity cross-sectional area. After modifying the two morphologies of alumina with an interface modifier, the surface coupling layer passivates the hydroxyl groups on the alumina surface, enhancing the phonon coupling at the alumina-polyurethane interface. This enables efficient heat transfer along the three-dimensional percolation network of "lamella-sphere-matrix," achieving synergistic thermal conduction on a macroscopic scale, resulting in a significant increase in the material's thermal conductivity. Furthermore, this network allows for rapid heat diffusion and temperature gradient homogenization, inhibiting the formation of local hot spots, mitigating chain relaxation induced by thermal stress cycles, and delaying the thermo-oxidative aging process of polyurethane, which is beneficial for the long-term stable operation of polyurethane-filled materials in practical applications.

[0009] This invention synergistically weakens polyurethane prepolymer chain entanglement by introducing plasticizers and defoamers into the polyurethane matrix, creating a low-viscosity shear-thinning fluid and endowing the material with excellent self-leveling properties. The defoamer spreads rapidly at the gas-liquid interface, reducing the surface tension gradient and promoting microbubble coalescence and rupture. The system exhibits low viscosity and stability at room temperature, enabling defect-free single-pass filling of complex cavities. The curing process results in low shrinkage and low internal stress, ensuring long-term sealing reliability when the polyurethane material is used as a cable connector filler.

[0010] Therefore, the polyurethane material of the present invention can simultaneously possess good insulation, thermal conductivity, and flowability.

[0053] Table 1 Table 2 Performance testing: (1) Viscosity: Refer to GB / T 2794-2022 standard, and use a digital viscometer to measure the viscosity of components A and B within half an hour after mixing. When the viscosity is <14000mPa·s, it is considered qualified.

[0054] (2) Thermal conductivity: Referring to GB / T42919.4-2023 standard, the thermal conductivity of the polyurethane-based filler material after curing was evaluated using a laser thermal conductivity meter. A thermal conductivity > 0.6 W / mK is considered qualified.

[0055] (3) Insulation performance: Referring to GB / T 1410-2006 standard, the volume resistivity of polyurethane-based filler material after curing was evaluated using a high insulation resistance measuring instrument. The higher the volume resistivity, the better the insulation performance.

[0056] (4) The surfaces of the polyurethane-based fillers in Example 1, Comparative Example 1, and Comparative Example 3 were observed using a scanning electron microscope. The test results are as follows: Figure 1 As shown, from Figure 1 As can be observed, the spherical and sheet-like alumina in Example 1 are uniformly dispersed and embedded in the polyurethane matrix, serving as a skeleton material in the polyurethane matrix, which is beneficial to improving the thermal conductivity of the material.

[0057] The test results for viscosity, thermal conductivity, and volume resistivity are shown in Table 3.

[0058] Table 3 The performance test results in Table 3 show that the addition of micron-sized spherical Al2O3 and flake-shaped Al2O3 to the polyurethane-based filler material significantly increases the viscosity and improves the thermal conductivity. The thermal diffusivity and thermal conductivity of the filler material are positively correlated with the amount added. The polyurethane filler material of this invention has a viscosity of less than 14000 mPa·s, a thermal conductivity greater than 0.6 W / mK, and a resistivity greater than 4.9 × 10⁻⁶. 12 It is evident that it possesses both high thermal conductivity and insulation properties as well as good fluidity.

[0059] According to Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1 and 2, the present invention demonstrates a significant synergistic enhancement effect in improving the thermal conductivity of materials through the combined use of spherical alumina and lamellar alumina. In Example 1, using a ratio of 10 parts spherical alumina to 20 parts lamellar alumina, the thermal conductivity of the polyurethane material reached 0.78 W / mK; in contrast, the thermal conductivity of Comparative Example 1 (with only 30 parts spherical alumina) and Comparative Example 2 (with only 30 parts lamellar alumina) were 0.58 W / mK and 0.56 W / mK, respectively. This result confirms that lamellar alumina can construct a two-dimensional thermally conductive framework in the matrix, while spherical alumina effectively fills the gaps between the lamellars, forming a "point-to-surface composite" thermally conductive percolation network, thereby significantly improving the overall thermal conductivity efficiency of the system. Furthermore, the viscosity of Example 1 is approximately 12,500 mPa·s, which is below the processable threshold of 14,000 mPa·s, indicating that at this compounding ratio, the material maintains good flowability and processability while achieving a significant improvement in thermal conductivity.

[0060] Based on the performance comparison between Comparative Example 3 (without thermally conductive filler) and Example 1 (with 20 wt% spherical-sheet composite alumina), the thermal conductivity of the polyurethane material of this invention significantly increased from 0.32 W / mK to 0.78 W / mK after the introduction of composite alumina, an increase of approximately 144%. Simultaneously, the volume resistivity of the material increased from 3.65 × 10¹² Ω·cm to 6.89 × 10¹² Ω·cm. These results indicate that, under the formulation of the examples, the addition of alumina filler not only did not impair the insulation performance of the material, but also enhanced the interfacial bonding between the filler and the polyurethane matrix through the action of an interface modifier, effectively suppressing interfacial polarization and carrier migration. Thus, while significantly improving thermal conductivity, the insulation properties of the system were maintained and improved.

[0061] Comparing the test results of Comparative Example 4 (without defoamer) and Example 1 (with 0.5 parts of methyl silicone oil defoamer), it can be seen that the absence of defoamer caused the system viscosity to increase to 18500 mPa·s and the volume resistivity to decrease to 1.89 × 10¹² Ω·cm. This indicates that without defoamer, the residual bubbles in the system not only cause a significant increase in viscosity and affect the material flow and filling effect, but also form microscopic air gaps at the solid-liquid interface, disrupting the insulation continuity and thus reducing the insulation reliability of the material. In contrast, Example 1, by introducing 0.5 parts of methyl silicone oil defoamer, effectively controlled the viscosity at 12500 mPa·s and maintained the volume resistivity at 6.89 × 10¹² Ω·cm, demonstrating that defoamer can significantly improve the rheological behavior of the system, promote bubble removal, reduce interface defects, and play a key role in maintaining the material's flowability during construction and its insulation integrity after curing.

[0062] A comparison of performance data between Comparative Example 5 (without interface modifier) ​​and Example 2 (with KH-550 interface modifier) ​​shows that the interface modifier plays a crucial role in improving both the insulation and thermal conductivity of this system. Without the interface modifier, the volume resistivity of the resulting material is 7.31 × 10¹¹ Ω·cm, significantly lower than the 5.41 × 10¹² Ω·cm of Example 2. This result indicates that the interface modifier can form a chemical coupling layer on the surface of the alumina filler, enhancing its interfacial bonding with the polyurethane matrix through covalent bridging, thereby effectively suppressing charge accumulation and local electric field distortion at the interface, and significantly improving the insulation reliability of the composite material. Simultaneously, the thermal conductivity of Comparative Example 5 is 0.67 W / mK, lower than the 0.73 W / mK of Example 2. This is attributed to the interface modifier further optimizing the heat conduction path and improving the thermal conductivity efficiency of the system by reducing phonon scattering and interfacial thermal resistance between the filler and the matrix. Therefore, the interface modifier in this invention has the dual function of enhancing interfacial insulation integrity and promoting the construction of a thermally conductive network.

[0063] The performance comparison results of Comparative Example 6 (using spherical silica), Comparative Example 7 (using sheet-like boron nitride), and Examples 1-3 (using spherical-sheet composite alumina) show that different filler systems have a significant impact on the thermal conductivity of the composite material. The thermal conductivity of the silica and boron nitride systems is 0.54 W / mK and 0.59 W / mK, respectively, both significantly lower than the 0.73-0.78 W / mK of the composite alumina system. This difference can be attributed to the superior performance matching of the alumina filler in this system: it possesses higher intrinsic thermal conductivity, and its phonon vibration spectrum is closer to that of the polyurethane matrix, which is beneficial for reducing interfacial phonon scattering. Simultaneously, the combination of spherical and sheet-like morphologies allows for the construction of a three-dimensional thermally conductive network within the matrix, significantly improving thermal conductivity. Furthermore, after modification with an interface modifier, a stable chemical coupling layer is formed on the alumina surface, which not only enhances the interfacial bonding between the filler and the resin and reduces interfacial thermal resistance but also effectively maintains the high insulation performance of the system. Therefore, compared with silicon dioxide and boron nitride, the sphere-plate composite alumina used in this invention achieves high thermal conductivity while also having good insulation compatibility and process feasibility, demonstrating a better overall performance balance.

[0064] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of the present invention without departing from the essence and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention.
