The invention relates to the technical field of optical cables, and discloses a
composite material for an optical cable sheath and a preparation method thereof, and the preparation method comprises the following steps: providing a temperature-resistant
monomer, a
functional monomer and a three-dimensional
network structure; carrying out copolymerization reaction on the temperature-resistant
monomer and the
functional monomer to synthesize a
thermoplastic dynamic
covalent bond network
polymer, and carrying out surface treatment on the three-dimensional
network structure reinforcing material; and mixing the
thermoplastic dynamic
covalent bond network
polymer, the surface-treated three-dimensional
network structure reinforcing material, the multifunctional
nano hybrid filler, the bio-based
plasticizer, the
antioxidant, the light stabilizer and the
flame retardant according to a preset proportion, in the mixing process, the stirring speed is 1000-1500 rpm, the time is 15-20 minutes, the
hot pressing temperature is 150-180 DEG C, the pressure is 10-15 MPa, and the time is 5-10 minutes, so as to obtain the
composite material. The premix is obtained. According to the
composite material for the optical cable sheath and the preparation method thereof,
interface bonding between a reinforcing material and a matrix is firm, the composite material can be recycled and repeatedly processed,
pollution is effectively reduced, the composite material is more environment-friendly, and the cost is saved.
