The application provides a crosslinked
polyethylene insulating material with intrinsic self-repairing and recyclable characteristics, a preparation method and application thereof, and relates to the technical field of cable materials.The crosslinked
polyethylene insulating material with intrinsic self-repairing and recyclable characteristics is prepared from the following components in parts by weight: 99.7 parts by weight of low-density
polyethylene, 1.0-2.6 parts by weight of
peroxide, 0.1-0.5 parts by weight of
antioxidant, 5-20 parts by weight of
maleimide monomer, 0.35-0.7 parts by weight of catalyst, 0.5-3.0 parts by weight of ligand and 0.5-3.0 parts by weight of
furan-based
small molecule.The low-density polyethylene is functionally modified through catalytic
amination reaction, so that the chain breaking and crosslinking in the modification process are avoided, and the mechanical properties, insulating properties and
dielectric properties of the crosslinked polyethylene are enhanced through the post-absorption of the introduced
peroxide.Meanwhile, the dynamic reversible Diels-
Alder reaction introduced by the post-absorption of the
furan-based
small molecule enables the polyethylene insulating material to have good intrinsic self-repairing effect on mechanical damage and electrical damage.
