Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of cable insulation materials technology, specifically to a water-blocking insulating cable material and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] Ethylene-1-butene copolymers belong to the α-olefin ethylene copolymer category and possess the electrical insulation properties, flexibility, and melt processing properties of polyolefin materials, making them suitable as the polymer matrix for cable insulation materials. When cables operate for extended periods under the combined influence of humid environments and electric fields, moisture can accumulate in the micropores, impurities, or areas of concentrated electric fields within the insulation material, forming water trees. The continued growth of these water trees weakens the dielectric strength of the insulation layer, increasing the risk of cable insulation failure.

[0003] Existing technologies typically involve adding polyethers, polar ethylene copolymers, or other hydrophilic components to polyolefin insulating materials to disperse the moisture entering the material and reduce the formation of localized water droplets. However, free hydrophilic components have limited compatibility with the non-polar polyolefin matrix and are prone to migration or extraction by water during use. Increasing the amount of hydrophilic components may also increase water absorption and dielectric loss, making it difficult to simultaneously achieve water-resistant properties and electrical insulation performance after immersion.

[0004] Immobilizing polyether-terminated amines onto anhydride-modified polyolefins can reduce free hydrophilic components. However, the reaction between the primary amines and anhydride groups is relatively rapid. Excessive local amine concentration or improper feed ratio can easily lead to interchain linkages and gelation, affecting the dispersion of the modified component in the insulating matrix and the melt processing properties of the material. Therefore, it is necessary to carefully design the immobilization method of the polyether segments, the end-capping structure of the remaining anhydride groups, and the content of the modified particles in the insulating matrix. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this invention is: how to stably introduce polyether water-blocking sites into the ethylene-1-butene copolymer cable insulation matrix, while reducing inter-chain linkages, gelation and extractable free matter caused by the reaction of double-ended polyether diamine, and reducing the continuous water absorption caused by the polyether structure, so as to take into account the material's anti-water treeing performance, electrical insulation performance after water immersion and melt processing performance.

[0006] To address the above problems, this invention provides a water-blocking insulating cable material. By mass percentage, the water-blocking insulated cable material is composed of 6%~10% of adamantane-terminated homochain closed-chain polyether-bridged ethylene-1-butene copolymer modified particles and 90%~94% of ethylene-1-butene copolymer cable insulation matrix resin, and the sum of their mass percentages is 100%. The modified particles are prepared by reacting maleic anhydride-modified ethylene-1-butene copolymer sequentially with bipolar polyether diamine and 1-adamantane methylamine. The molar ratio of the two terminal primary amino groups of the bipolar polyether diamine to the anhydride groups in the maleic anhydride-modified ethylene-1-butene copolymer is (0.72~0.76):1, and the molar ratio of the primary amino group of the 1-adamantane methylamine to the remaining anhydride groups after the bipolar polyether diamine reaction is (0.80~0.85):1. The bipolar polyether diamine is added dropwise to the solution of maleic anhydride-modified ethylene-1-butene copolymer in solution form over 4h~6h.

[0007] In some embodiments, the molar ratio of N-[(adamantane-1-yl)methyl]succinimide side groups to intrachain closed polyether bridges in the modified particles is (0.51~0.65):1; the xylene-insoluble gel mass fraction of the modified particles is 0.9%~2.7%, and the extractable free polyether diamine mass fraction is 0.07%~0.11%; the maleic anhydride-modified ethylene-1-butene copolymer has an anhydride group content of 50 μmol / g, a melt flow rate of 0.9 g / 10 min at 190℃ and 2.16 kg, and a density of 870 kg / m³. 3 The nominal molecular weight of the dual-terminated polyether diamine is 600 g / mol, the amine hydrogen equivalent is 132 g / eq, and the density at 25°C is 1.04 g / mL, with each molecule having primary amino groups at both ends; the density of the ethylene-1-butene copolymer cable insulation matrix resin is 0.924 g / cm³. 3 The melt mass flow rate at 190℃ and 2.16kg was 3.5g / 10min, and the peak melting temperature was 124℃.

[0008] This invention also provides a method for preparing a water-blocking insulated cable material, comprising the following steps: S1, under nitrogen protection and stirring, dissolving maleic anhydride-modified ethylene-1-butene copolymer in anhydrous p-xylene to obtain a first polymer solution; S2, dissolving a bi-terminated polyether diamine in anhydrous p-xylene, determining the amount of bi-terminated polyether diamine according to the molar ratio of the two terminal primary amino groups to the anhydride groups in the first polymer solution as (0.72~0.76):1, obtaining a first amine solution, adding the first amine solution dropwise to the first polymer solution within 4h~6h and continuing the reaction, followed by methanol precipitation, washing, drying, and heat treatment under nitrogen protection to obtain homochain closed-chain polyether bridged ethylene-1-butene copolymer. 1-Butene copolymer modified particles; S3, Dissolve the modified particles obtained in step S2 in anhydrous p-xylene, add 1-adamantane methylamine at a molar ratio of (0.80~0.85):1 of the primary amino group of 1-adamantane methylamine to the remaining anhydride group after the reaction in step S2, and continue the reaction. After methanol precipitation, washing, drying, and heat treatment under nitrogen protection, ethylene-1-butene copolymer modified particles with adamantane-terminated homochain closed polyether bridge are obtained; S4, Based on a total mass of 100 parts, melt mix 6~10 parts of the modified particles obtained in step S3 with 90~94 parts of ethylene-1-butene copolymer cable insulation matrix resin, cool and granulate to obtain water-blocking insulating cable material.

[0009] The method may also have the following characteristics: in step S1, the temperature of the first polymer solution is 128~135℃; in step S2, the first amine solution is added dropwise at a reaction system temperature of 132~138℃, and the reaction continues for 4h~6h after the addition is completed. After the reaction solution is cooled to 52~60℃, methanol is added within 18min~25min to precipitate the polymer. The resulting solid is heat-treated at 150~155℃ for 18min~25min under nitrogen protection; in step S3, the modified particles are dissolved in anhydrous p-xylene and the temperature is raised to 128~135℃, and then the reaction system temperature is adjusted to 112~135℃. At 120℃, 1-adamantane methylamine is dissolved in anhydrous p-xylene and added dropwise over 35-45 minutes. After the addition is complete, the reaction continues at 128-135℃ for 2-30-4 hours. The resulting solid is then heat-treated at 150-155℃ for 18-25 minutes under nitrogen protection. In step S4, the melting and mixing temperature is 154-162℃, and the rotor speed is 60 r / min. The ethylene-1-butene copolymer cable insulation matrix resin is first plasticized for 2 minutes, and then the modified particles are added within 1 minute. The mixture is then stirred for 9-11 minutes from the start of adding the modified particles.

[0010] Beneficial effects:

[0011] (1) In this invention, maleic anhydride-modified ethylene-1-butene copolymer is used as the modification carrier and ethylene-1-butene copolymer is used as the cable insulation matrix. The modified particles and the matrix have similar polyolefin segments. The modified particle content is limited to 6%~10%, which is beneficial to form dispersed water-blocking sites in the matrix and avoids insufficient water treeing effect or excessive increase in wet electrical performance burden due to too few modified particles.

[0012] (2) The double-terminated polyether diamine is added at a molar ratio of terminal primary amino group to acid anhydride group (0.72~0.76):1 and slowly added dropwise over 4h~6h, which helps to reduce the local primary amino concentration, reduce inter-chain linkage and gelation; after precipitation, washing and heat treatment, the mass fraction of xylene-insoluble gel of the modified particles obtained in the example is 0.9%~2.7%, and the mass fraction of extractable free polyether diamine is 0.07%~0.11%.

[0013] (3) After forming a closed polyether bridge of the same chain, 1-adamantane methylamine reacts with the remaining acid anhydride group to form N-[(adamantane-1-yl)methyl]succinimide side group, which is beneficial to reduce continuous water absorption and reduce the decay of electrical insulation performance after immersion in water; compared with the comparative example without 1-adamantane methylamine end cap, the material with adamantane end cap has a lower accelerated water absorption rate and dielectric loss factor.

[0014] (4) The water tree length ratio of the material obtained in the example was 10.8%~17.0%, and the volume resistivity after immersion in water was 3.6×10⁻⁶. 14 ~5.8×10 14 The material exhibits a strength of 28.9~31.0 MV / m after immersion in water, and a melt flow rate of 2.6~3.1 g / 10 min, indicating that it can maintain electrical insulation properties and melt processing properties after immersion while inhibiting water tree growth.

[0083] IV. Performance Testing

[0084] 1. Preparation and conditioning of test samples

[0085] The particles obtained from each embodiment and comparative example were vacuum dried at 70°C for 8 hours. Tableting was performed using a flat vulcanizing machine: preheating at 150°C without pressure for 5 minutes, hot pressing at 10 MPa for 5 minutes, and then cooling to 40°C under 10 MPa pressure before demolding. For different test items, sheets with a thickness of 1.0 mm, discs with a thickness of 2.0 mm and a diameter of 50 mm, and water tree samples with a thickness of 4.0 mm and a diameter of 50 mm were prepared. Except for the water tree test, all samples were conditioned for 48 hours at 23±2°C and 50±10% relative humidity.

[0086] 2. Mass fraction of modified particulate xylene-insoluble gel

[0087] Weigh 0.500 g of the end-capped, uncapped, or blank post-treatment modified particles used in the corresponding examples or comparative examples, place them in a 120-mesh stainless steel mesh bag, and reflux extract in p-xylene at 135 °C for 8 h. Remove the mesh bag, wash with fresh p-xylene, and vacuum dry at 80 °C until the difference between two consecutive weighings is no greater than 0.2 mg. The mass fraction of xylene-insoluble gel is calculated as the ratio of the mass of the dried residue to the mass of the initial sample. Each sample is tested in triplicate. Comparative Example 1 does not contain modified particles and this test is not performed.

[0088] 3. Extractable free polyether diamine mass fraction

[0089] Weigh 1.000 g of modified particles and add an extraction solution consisting of 40.0 g methanol and 10.0 g deionized water. Extract at 40 °C with shaking for 24 h, then centrifuge and collect the supernatant. Take 5.00 mL of the supernatant and dry it under nitrogen at 40 °C. Redissolve in 20.0 mL of deionized water; add 5.0 mL of cobalt thiocyanate reagent and 10.0 mL of chloroform, shake for 2 min, and let stand for 10 min. Measure the absorbance of the chloroform phase at 620 nm. The cobalt thiocyanate reagent is prepared by dissolving 30.0 g of cobalt nitrate hexahydrate and 200 g of ammonium thiocyanate in water and bringing the volume to 1 L. Establish a calibration curve using a di-terminated polyether diamine standard solution following the same procedure. Convert the measured results to di-terminated polyether diamine equivalents and express them as a percentage of the modified particle mass. Each sample was tested in triplicate. Comparative Example 1 did not contain modified particles and was not tested in this manner.

[0090] 4. Accelerates water absorption rate during immersion.

[0091] Following the weighing principles of GB / T 1034-2008, a circular disc with a thickness of 2.0 mm and a diameter of 50 mm was vacuum-dried at 50℃ for 24 h, cooled to room temperature, and its initial mass m0 was obtained. It was then completely immersed in deionized water with a conductivity not exceeding 5 μS / cm and kept at 70℃ for 168 h. The sample was removed, and both sides were lightly pressed with absorbent paper for 15 s each. Its mass m1 was obtained within 60 s after removal. The water absorption rate was calculated as (m1-m0) / m0 × 100%, and five discs were tested in parallel for each sample.

[0092] 5. Volume resistivity after immersion in water

[0093] The three-electrode guard ring method was used for testing according to GB / T 31838.2-2019. A 1.0 mm thick sheet was first immersed in deionized water at 70℃ for 168 h. After removal, surface moisture was wiped off, and testing began within 5 min. A 500 V DC voltage was applied for 60 s, and the volume resistivity was read. The volume resistivity was calculated based on the sample thickness and effective electrode area. Five samples were tested in parallel for each test, and the results are expressed in Ω·m.

[0094] 6. Power frequency breakdown strength after immersion in water

[0095] Tests were conducted according to GB / T 1408.1-2016. A 1.0 mm thick sheet was immersed in deionized water at 70°C for 168 hours, then the surface moisture was wiped off. After 5 minutes, the sheet was immersed in insulating oil at 23°C. Using upper and lower spherical electrodes with a diameter of 25 mm, a 50 Hz AC voltage was continuously increased at 2 kV / s until breakdown. Ten sheets were tested for each sample. The breakdown strength was obtained by dividing the breakdown voltage by the measured thickness of the sample, and the arithmetic mean was taken.

[0096] 7. Medium loss factor after immersion in water

[0097] The three-electrode method was used for testing according to GB / T 31838.6-2021. A 1.0 mm thick sheet was immersed in deionized water at 70℃ for 168 h. After wiping off the surface moisture, it was placed in the electrode fixture within 5 min, and the dielectric loss factor tanδ was measured at 23℃, 50 Hz, and 100 V AC test voltage. Five sheets of each sample were tested in parallel.

[0098] 8. Relative resistance to water tree growth

[0099] The relative evaluation was conducted according to the point-to-plate water tree test principle of ASTM D6097-25. A 4.0 mm thick circular disc was used, and a conical defect with a 60° included angle and a 3 μm tip radius was prepared on one side of the disc, ensuring an effective distance of 2.5 mm from the tip to the plate electrode. Both the defect side and the ground side were in contact with a 0.01 N sodium chloride aqueous solution. A 5 kV, 1 kHz AC voltage was applied for 30 days at 23 ± 2 °C. After the test, the sample was stained in a 0.5% methylene blue aqueous solution at 90 °C for 4 hours. A 100 μm thick slice was cut along the tip axis, and the maximum water tree length at the tip was measured using an optical microscope at 100x magnification. The water tree length ratio was calculated as the ratio of the maximum water tree length to the 2.5 mm effective distance. Ten slices were tested for each sample; a smaller value indicated better relative resistance to water tree growth.

[0100] 9. Elongation at break

[0101] Tests were conducted according to GB / T 1040.3-2006. Type 2 specimens were cut from a 1.0 mm thick sheet with a gauge length of 50 mm and stretched at a test speed of 100 mm / min at 23±2℃ until fracture. The elongation at break was recorded. Five specimens of each sample were tested in parallel.

[0102] 10. Mass flow rate

[0103] The test was conducted according to GB / T 3682.1-2018, with a test temperature of 190℃, a load of 2.16 kg, a preheating time of 5 min, and a cutting interval of 30 s set according to the outflow rate. Each sample was tested in triplicate, and the results are expressed as g / 10 min.

[0104] V. Performance Data and Performance Test Results

[0105] The results listed in the results table are the arithmetic mean of the specified number of replicates for each test item. The mass fraction of xylene-insoluble gel and the mass fraction of extractable free polyether diamine correspond to the modified particles used in each sample; the remaining items correspond to the final cable material.

[0106] Note: 1. "-" indicates that Comparative Example 1 does not contain modified particles, and this item is not applicable; 2. All electrical performance samples were soaked in deionized water at 70℃ for 168h after immersion in water; 3. The smaller the water tree length ratio, the better the relative resistance to water tree growth.

[0109] Results analysis:

[0110] As shown in Table 1, Comparative Example 1, which does not contain modified particles, has a volume resistivity, breakdown strength, and dielectric loss factor of 7.8 × 10⁻⁶ after immersion in water. 14 Ω·m, 31.9MV / m and 4.0×10 -4 However, the water tree length ratio reached 48.2%; in Example 1, after adding 8% of adamantane-terminated homochain closed-chain polyether bridge modified particles, the water tree length ratio decreased to 12.7%, while the volume resistivity after immersion in water remained at 4.8 × 10⁻⁶. 14 Ω·m, breakdown strength of 30.5 MV / m, dielectric loss factor of 7.1 × 10⁻⁶ -4 This indicates that the modified particles can inhibit water tree growth while maintaining wet electrical insulation performance.

[0111] With all other raw materials, dosages, and preparation conditions remaining the same, Example 1 used a 5-hour dripping time for the addition of double-ended polyether diamine, while Comparative Example 2 shortened the dripping time to 5 minutes; the mass fraction of xylene-insoluble gel in the modified particles increased from 1.5% to 9.6%, and the final material's volume resistivity after immersion in water increased from 4.8 × 10⁻⁶. 14 Ω·m decreased to 0.8×10 14The breakdown strength decreased from 30.5 MV / m to 23.6 MV / m, while the water tree length ratio increased from 12.7% to 21.2%. These results indicate that slow dropwise addition helps reduce interchain linkages and gelation caused by localized high concentrations of diterminated amines, and helps maintain the dispersibility of the modified particles in the insulating matrix.

[0112] The difference between Example 1 and Comparative Example 3 lies in whether or not 1-adamantane methylamine is added for end-capping. Both undergo the same second dissolution, precipitation, washing, and heat treatment. Without 1-adamantane methylamine, the water absorption rate after immersion in water at 70°C for 168 hours increased from 0.18% to 0.31%, and the volume resistivity increased from 4.8 × 10⁻⁶. 14 Ω·m decreased to 1.1×10 14 Ω·m, the dielectric loss factor is 7.1×10 -4 Increased to 15.6×10 -4 The water tree length ratios of the two were 12.7% and 12.4%, respectively. This indicates that the homochain closed polyether bridge primarily inhibits water tree growth, and further end-capping with 1-adamantanemethylamine helps reduce water absorption and mitigate the degradation of wet electrical insulation properties.

[0113] Example 1 used 1-adamantane methylamine for end-capping, while Comparative Example 4 used an equal amount of n-butylamine for end-capping. The molar ratio of primary amine to the remaining anhydride group and the post-treatment conditions were the same for both end-capping reagents. After using n-butylamine, the water absorption rate increased from 0.18% to 0.22%, and the volume resistivity after immersion increased from 4.8 × 10⁻⁶. 14 Ω·m decreased to 2.8 × 10 14 The water tree length ratio increased from 12.7% to 17.2% in Ω·m. This comparison shows that, with the same end-capping reagent feeding ratio, the adamantane cage group is more effective than the straight-chain butyl group in restricting the continuous entry of water and maintaining the dispersion and water-blocking effect of the polyether bridge.

[0114] Example 2 and Comparative Example 5 used the same modified particles, differing only in the content of the modified particles: 6% and 5%, respectively. When the content decreased from 6% to 5%, the water tree length ratio increased from 17.0% to 24.2%, while the volume resistivity and breakdown strength after immersion decreased from 5.8 × 10⁻⁶ to 5%. 14 The Ω·m and 31.0 MV / m change to 6.5 × 10 14 The values ​​of Ω·m and 31.4MV / m indicate that the wet electrical performance burden is relatively small when the content is below 6%, but the number of modified particles is insufficient to form sufficient dispersed water-blocking sites.

[0115] Example 3 and Comparative Example 6 used the same modified particles, differing only in the content of the modified particles, which were 10% and 11%, respectively. When the content increased from 10% to 11%, the water tree length ratio only decreased from 10.8% to 10.2%, while the volume resistivity after immersion increased from 3.6 × 10⁻⁶ to 11%. 14Ω·m decreased to 2.7 × 10 14 The breakdown strength decreased from 28.9 MV / m to 27.4 MV / m, and the dielectric loss factor decreased from 8.7 × 10⁻⁶ Ω·m. -4 Increased to 10.6×10 -4 The results indicate that increasing the amount of modified particles beyond 10% yields limited gains in preventing water treeing and increases the burden on wet electrical properties.

[0116] In Example 2, the molar ratio of the terminal primary amine group to the anhydride group was 0.72:1, while in Comparative Example 7, this ratio was reduced to 0.68:1. With the modified particle content and the remaining anhydride end-capping ratio remaining consistent, the water tree length ratio increased from 17.0% to 24.6%, while the volume resistivity after immersion remained at 5.8 × 10⁻⁶. 14 Ω·m and 6.0×10 14 The Ω·m values ​​are similar. This comparison shows that when the terminal primary amine content is insufficient, the number of intrachain closed polyether bridges that can be formed is insufficient, making it difficult to fully perform the functions of water blocking and water treeing prevention.

[0117] In Example 3, the molar ratio of the terminal primary amino group to the acid anhydride group was 0.76:1, while in Comparative Example 8, this ratio was increased to 0.80:1; the mass fraction of the xylene-insoluble gel increased from 2.7% to 7.5%, and the volume resistivity after immersion in water increased from 3.6 × 10⁻⁶. 14 Ω·m decreased to 1.7×10 14 The breakdown strength decreased from 28.9 MV / m to 24.9 MV / m, and the melt flow rate decreased from 2.6 g / 10 min to 1.8 g / 10 min. These results indicate that further increasing the relative amount of di-terminated polyether diamine increases the chances of interchain linkage and gelation, which is detrimental to melt processing and wet insulation properties.

[0118] The only difference between Example 4 and Comparative Example 9 is that the molar ratio of the primary amino group to the remaining anhydride group in 1-adamantanemethylamine is 0.80:1 and 0.76:1, respectively. After this ratio was reduced, the water absorption rate increased from 0.16% to 0.23%, and the volume resistivity after immersion increased from 5.2 × 10⁻⁶. 14 Ω·m decreased to 2.5 × 10 14 Ω·m, the dielectric loss factor is 6.7×10 -4 Increased to 11.4×10 -4 This indicates that when the relative dosage of 1-adamantanemethylamine is less than 0.80:1, it is not conducive to reducing water absorption and maintaining electrical insulation performance after immersion.

[0119] The only difference between Example 5 and Comparative Example 10 is that the molar ratio of the primary amino group to the remaining anhydride group in 1-adamantanemethylamine is 0.85:1 and 0.89:1, respectively. After increasing this ratio to 0.89:1, the volume resistivity after immersion in water increased from 4.1 × 10⁻⁶.14 Ω·m becomes 4.3×10 14 The water tree length ratio increased from 11.7% to 17.8%, while the elongation at break decreased from 675% to 595%. This result indicates that further increasing the relative amount of 1-adamantanemethylamine did not bring a corresponding gain in wet electrical properties, but rather was detrimental to the balance between water tree resistance and elongation properties.
