导电炭黑对非交联聚乙烯绝缘高压电缆屏蔽料热老化性能影响

Effect of conductive carbon black on the thermal aging performance of shielding materials for non-crosslinked polyethylene insulated high-voltage cables

  • 摘要: 开发热塑性聚烯烃电缆材料是发展环境友好型电缆的关键需求,非交联聚乙烯绝缘材料具有优异的电气和力学性能,同时生产能耗少、易于回收利用,已成为目前电缆绝缘料的研究热点,但与绝缘料匹配的非交联半导电屏蔽料的相关研究还鲜有报道。本文以线性低密度聚乙烯(linear low-density polyethylene, LLDPE)为基体树脂,通过熔融共混法制备了炭黑(carbon black, CB)种类和含量不同的屏蔽料,并对其进行加速热老化实验,对热老化前后屏蔽料的理化性质、电气性能和力学性能进行了对比,研究了导电炭黑对屏蔽料老化性能的影响规律。结果表明,老化后屏蔽料的体积电阻率呈下降趋势,拉伸强度在老化初期快速上升后基本保持不变,而断裂伸长率经历了快速下降、平台期和二次快速下降三个阶段。炭黑的含量越高,老化后断裂伸长率下降的幅度越大;炭黑的粒径越小、结构度越高,老化后断裂伸长率下降的幅度越小,具有更好的抗老化性能。非交联聚乙烯基屏蔽料因无三维网络约束,其较高结晶度限制了炭黑在无定形区的分散空间,从而以较低炭黑浓度实现高效导电,并提升了长期抗热氧老化性能。本研究为环保型聚乙烯绝缘高压电缆的长期运行可靠性提供了数据支撑和理论依据,对其推广应用具有重要意义。

     

    Abstract: Non-crosslinked thermoplastic polyolefin materials are key to developing environmentally friendly cables. Non-crosslinked polyethylene insulation, with low energy consumption and recyclability, has become a research hotspot. However, studies on matching non-crosslinked semi-conductive shielding materials with insulation materials remain scarce. In this study, linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) was used as the matrix resin to prepare shielding materials with different carbon black (CB) types and contents via melt blending. The physicochemical, electrical, and mechanical properties before and after aging were systematically investigated. The results show that after aging, the volume resistivity decreases, tensile strength increases rapidly in the initial stage and then plateaus, while the elongation at break exhibits a three-stage evolution: rapid decline, plateau, and secondary rapid decline. Higher CB content leads to a greater reduction in elongation at break after aging. Smaller CB particle size and higher structure degree result in better retention of elongation at break, indicating superior anti-aging performance. Due to the absence of a three-dimensional network constraint, the non-crosslinked polyethylene-based shielding material achieves high electrical conductivity at lower CB concentrations and exhibits improved long-term thermo-oxidative aging resistance. This study provides data support and a theoretical basis for the formulation optimization and life assessment of environmentally friendly polyethylene-insulated high-voltage cable shielding materials.
