Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of polymer materials technology, specifically to a high-temperature resistant cable sheath material and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] High-temperature resistant cable sheathing materials are key components in aerospace, new energy vehicles, rail transportation, and high-temperature industrial sensors, and their performance directly determines the reliability and lifespan of signal transmission in extreme thermal environments. Silicone rubber, due to its unique silicon-oxygen backbone structure, possesses excellent electrical insulation, physiological inertness, and wide-temperature-range flexibility, making it a preferred matrix material for manufacturing high-temperature resistant cable sheaths. However, when traditional silicone rubber sheaths are exposed to temperatures above 250°C for extended periods or subjected to periodic thermal shock, the methyl groups in their side chains are prone to thermal oxidative decomposition, generating silanol groups and further inducing backbone degradation, leading to increased material hardness, loss of elasticity, surface cracking, and even pulverization. Furthermore, the low intrinsic thermal conductivity of silicone rubber means that localized overheating can accelerate these aging processes, making it difficult to meet the urgent requirements of modern high-power-density equipment for sheathing materials that can withstand long-term temperatures of 250°C or even 300°C. Summary of the Invention
[0003] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention provides a high-temperature resistant cable sheath material and its preparation method.
[0004] The objective of this invention can be achieved through the following technical solutions:
[0005] A high-temperature resistant cable sheath material comprises the following raw materials in parts by weight: 50-70 parts silicone rubber, 12-16 parts EPDM rubber, 3-5 parts ethylene-octene copolymer, 20-30 parts composite flame retardant, 3-5 parts antimony trioxide, 10-15 parts reinforcing agent, 1-3 parts lubricant, 0.8-1.5 parts antioxidant, 2-3 parts vulcanizing agent, 0.5-1 part crosslinking agent, and 2-3 parts silane coupling agent KH570;

After centrifugation, washing, and drying, carbon nanotubes@Ce-MOF were obtained.
[0015] Furthermore, in step A2, the ratio of terephthalic acid, 2-aminoterephthalic acid, and N,N-dimethylformamide in the organic solution is 0.85-1.05 g: 0.22-0.37 g: 40 mL.

[0017] Step A3: Under nitrogen conditions, carbon nanotubes @Ce-MOF are ultrasonically dispersed in anhydrous toluene for 30 min, then polysiloxane modifier is added, and the mixture is heated to 70-80℃ and refluxed for 12-24 h. After cooling to room temperature, the mixture is washed with anhydrous ethanol and vacuum dried to obtain the reinforcing agent.
[0018] Furthermore, in step A3, the molar ratio of amino groups in the carbon nanotubes@Ce-MOF and epoxy groups in the polysiloxane modifier is 1:1.5-2;
[0019] Furthermore, the polysiloxane modifier mentioned in step A3 is specifically prepared by the following steps:
[0020] Step B1: Under nitrogen atmosphere, maleic anhydride is dissolved in anhydrous acetone, and 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane is slowly added dropwise over 30 min. The mixture is reacted at room temperature for 4 h, then triethylamine and hydroquinone are added and stirred for 15 min. Acetic anhydride is then added, and the temperature is raised to 70-80 °C and reacted for 4-6 h. After cooling, the mixture is allowed to stand overnight, washed with anhydrous ethanol, and dried under vacuum to obtain the functional silane.
[0021] Further, in step B1, the ratio of maleic anhydride, anhydrous acetone, 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane, triethylamine, hydroquinone, and acetic anhydride is 0.05 mol: 60 mL: 0.05 mol: 0.5-1 mL: 0.05-0.1 g: 5-6 mL;
[0022] Step B2: Add functional silane and KH560 to ethanol and water and stir at room temperature for 30 min to prepare a pre-hydrolyzed solution; add trimethylmethoxysilane, polyvinylpyrrolidone, sodium dodecyl sulfonate and deionized water to a flask and stir for 40 min, add the pre-hydrolyzed solution and stir for 15 min, then add triethylamine and continue stirring for 3-4 h, then add KH560 and stir for 2-3 h, filter and wash to obtain polysiloxane modifier;
[0023] Further, in step B2, the ratio of trimethylmethoxysilane, polyvinylpyrrolidone, sodium dodecyl sulfonate, deionized water, pre-hydrolyzed solution, triethylamine, and KH560 is 10-15g:0.15-0.2g:0.3-0.5g:25mL:6.5mL:7.5-8.5mL:0.5-1mL;
[0024] Furthermore, in step B2, the ratio of functional silane, KH560, ethanol, and water in the pre-hydrolyzed solution is 1.5-2.5g:0.5mL:5mL:1mL.
[0025] A method for preparing a high-temperature resistant cable sheath material includes the following steps:
[0026] Weigh the raw materials according to the weight proportions. Add the silane coupling agent KH570, composite flame retardant, antimony trioxide and reinforcing agent to the internal mixer and mix for 1-2 minutes. Then add silicone rubber, EPDM rubber and ethylene-octene copolymer and mix under nitrogen and 70-90℃ for 15-25 minutes. Then add lubricant and antioxidant and mix for 5-8 minutes. Then transfer to an open mill, add vulcanizing agent and crosslinking agent, and mix at 40-50℃ for 8-10 minutes. Pass through a thin mill 3-5 times, extrude the sheet, let it stand for 12 hours, and then extrude and vulcanize to obtain the high temperature resistant cable sheath material.
[0027] The beneficial effects of this invention are:
[0028] The cable sheath material prepared by this invention is made of silicone rubber and EPDM rubber as the main base materials, with the addition of functional additives such as ethylene-octene copolymer, silane coupling agent KH570, composite flame retardant, antimony trioxide, reinforcing agent and vulcanizing agent. This cable sheath material not only has excellent mechanical properties and flame retardant properties, but also excellent high temperature resistance and thermal stability.
[0029] The cable sheath material prepared in this invention incorporates a reinforcing agent, improving its high-temperature resistance and thermal stability. Specifically, carbon nanotubes, serving as the core framework of the reinforcing agent, construct a three-dimensional thermally conductive network within the composite material. When the sheath experiences localized overheating, heat is rapidly dissipated through the carbon nanotube channels, preventing localized ablation or accelerated aging caused by concentrated hotspots. Silicone rubber, as the main substrate, undergoes aging primarily through a free radical chain reaction at high temperatures. The MOF in the reinforcing agent utilizes its porous structure to capture the reactive peroxide radicals (ROO·) generated by the cracking of silicone rubber, and utilizes the transition metal ions (Ce·) within the MOF nodes... 3+ / Ce 4+ The unique variable valence state of the polysiloxane allows it to catalyze the electron transfer of free radicals like an enzyme, converting them into stable molecules, thereby breaking the degradation chain and significantly improving thermal oxidation stability. The outermost polysiloxane layer itself is a "silicone rubber analogue," perfectly integrating into the silicone rubber matrix, ensuring good compatibility of the reinforcing agent within the matrix. Simultaneously, the imide rings in the functional silanes introduced by the polysiloxane enhance high-temperature resistance. This is because polysiloxanes containing imide rings have an increased glass transition temperature, meaning that at high temperatures, the microspheres remain rigid glassy spheres, preventing softening and collapse, thus continuously providing support and reinforcement, ensuring the long-term reliability of the sheath material under extreme high temperatures.
