Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] This application was filed with the Chinese National Intellectual Property Office on June 29, 2023, claiming priority to the Chinese Patent Application No. CN202310778172.0, with the title of the invention "Flexible Composite Material, Method for Manufacturing the Same and Use thereof," all of which are incorporated herein by reference.

[0003] Conventional photovoltaic modules consist of a TPT backsheet, EVA adhesive film, solar cells, glass panels, and a frame. Conventional photovoltaic modules are rigid modules that are resistant to deformation and are relatively heavy, making them unsuitable for applications requiring bending or lightweight design. Flexible solar panels are an emerging technology in the global solar energy industry. Specifically, they use flexible composite materials instead of the glass panels and TPT backsheet of conventional photovoltaic modules to protect and support the solar cells. Flexible solar panels are highly flexible and easy to bend, so they can be bent to conform to the shape of the roof, even if the average roof slope is less than 60° and the bending radius of the panel exceeds 13m. Furthermore, because flexible solar panels are lightweight, their installation does not place an excessive load on the roof, and does not cause significant changes to the main structure of the roof. However, the weather resistance of flexible composite materials in conventional technology still has room for improvement. [Overview of the project] [Problems that the invention aims to solve]

The composition is as follows: 72 parts by mass of acrylic resin (specifically, epoxy acrylic powder coating resin manufactured in Example 7 of Patent CN115651473A), 21 parts by mass of curing agent (specifically, DDDA), 1 part by mass of antioxidant auxiliary agent (specifically, antioxidant 1076), 0.085 parts by mass of catalyst (specifically, tetrabutylammonium bromide), 0.8 parts by mass of surface modifier (specifically, benzoin), and 1.66 parts by mass of light stabilizer (specifically, light stabilizer A fixing agent (UV-405) and 3.45 parts of strontium titanate nano-auxiliary material (specifically, a mixture of octahedral strontium titanate, hexahedral strontium titanate, and irregular strontium titanate in a mass ratio of 3:6:1) were mixed and melt-extruded at 120°C. After the resulting extruded material was cooled, it was pulverized to a particle size of 0.2 to 1 cm, and further pulverization, grading, and sieving were performed to obtain a matrix material with a particle size of 30 to 150 μm. The dispersant is alumina, the particle size of the dispersant is 2 - 4 μm, and the mass of the dispersant is 0.1% of the mass of the matrix material. The matrix material was mixed with the dispersant to obtain the strontium titanate nano / micro material. Using a powder spraying device, the strontium titanate nano / micro material was uniformly sprayed on the surface of a glass fiber cloth (specifically, a woven glass fiber cloth with a weight of 100 g / m 2 at a powder spraying rate of 4 m / min. Next, the glass fiber cloth with the strontium titanate nano / micro material sprayed on its surface was put into a laminating device, the device was closed and heated to 130°C to melt the strontium titanate nano / micro material and infiltrate it into the glass fiber cloth. Then, it was cured at 160°C and a pressure of 10 MPa for 30 minutes. After the curing was completed, it was cooled and demolded to obtain a flexible composite material. The content of the strontium titanate nano / micro material in the flexible composite material was 55% by weight, and the thickness of the flexible composite material was 0.15 mm.
[0052] Example 2 A flexible composite material was manufactured according to the method of Example 1, except that the weight of the glass fiber cloth used was 200 g / m 2 and the thickness of the flexible composite material was 0.22 mm.
[0053] Example 3 A flexible composite material was manufactured according to the method of Example 1, except that the weight of the glass fiber cloth used was 300 g / m 2 and the thickness of the flexible composite material was 0.31 mm.
[0054] Example 4 A flexible composite material was manufactured according to the method of Example 1, except that the content of the strontium titanate nano / micro material in the flexible composite material was 60% by weight.
[0055] Comparative Example 1 A flexible composite material was manufactured according to the method of Example 1, except that the strontium titanate nano-auxiliary material in the strontium titanate nanomicromaterial was omitted.
[0056] Test Example 1 The strength of the flexible composite materials produced in Examples 1-4 and Comparative Example 1 was tested according to the method of GB / T 13542.2-2021 (product strength requirement ≥ 100 MPa), and the water permeability of the flexible composite materials produced in Examples 1-4 and Comparative Example 1 was tested according to the method of GB / T 21529-2008 (product water permeability requirement ≤ 1.5 g / (m2·24h)). The results are shown in Table 1.
[0057] [Table 1]
[0058] As can be seen from Examples 1-3 in Table 1, the greater the weight of the glass fiber cloth, the thicker the manufactured flexible composite material becomes, increasing its tensile strength and water permeability. As can be seen from Examples 1 and 4, as the content of strontium titanate nanomicromaterial in the flexible composite material increases, the strength of the flexible composite material decreases and its water permeability decreases slightly. As can be seen from Example 1 and Comparative Example 1, even if the strontium titanate nano-auxiliary material is omitted from the strontium titanate nanomicromaterial, the strength and water permeability of the flexible composite material do not change significantly. This indicates that by adding strontium titanate nanomicromaterial during the manufacturing of the flexible composite material, the flexible composite material can maintain good mechanical properties and water impermeability.
[0059] Comparative Example 2 A flexible composite material was manufactured according to the method of Example 1, except that the strontium titanate nanomicro material was replaced with a commercially available flexible solar power generation material.
[0060] Test Example 2 The elongation at break and light transmittance of the flexible composite materials produced in Example 1 and Comparative Example 2 were tested and compared with those of conventional photovoltaic glass. Here, elongation at break was tested according to the method of GB / T 13542.2-2021, and light transmittance according to the method of GB / T 2410-2008. The results are shown in Table 2. As shown in Table 2, although the light transmittance of the flexible composite material produced using strontium titanate nanomicromaterial is not as high as that of conventional photovoltaic glass, the elongation at break and light transmittance are superior to those of flexible composite materials produced using commercially available flexible photovoltaic materials, and the elongation at break is also superior to that of conventional photovoltaic glass.
[0061] [Table 2]
[0062] Test Example 3 The weather resistance of the flexible composite materials produced in Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1-2 was tested according to the method of GB / T 29848-2018, and the results are shown in Table 3. As shown in Table 3, the flexible composite material produced in Example 1 of the present invention is obtained by compounding a strontium titanate nanomicro material with a fibrous fabric and adding a strontium titanate nano-auxiliary to the matrix material of the strontium titanate nanomicro material. As a result, the flexible composite material can have better weather resistance, such as resistance to ultraviolet rays and heat and humidity, than the flexible composite materials produced in Comparative Examples 1 and 2.
[0063] [Table 3]
[0064] As can be seen from the above test examples, the flexible composite material provided by the present invention possesses not only excellent weather resistance but also features such as lightweight, high strength, high light transmittance, and good water-impermeable properties. Furthermore, the flexible composite material provided by the present invention also possesses high stain resistance and easy cleaning. Typically, major dirt can be removed by washing with rainwater, and the outdoor service life is expected to be 25 years or more.
[0065] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should note that various improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principles of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications are also within the scope of protection of the present invention.
