Sour perfluoroethylene base ester is CF3CH=CH-COOCF=CF2.
Monomer B of the present invention is to contain two double bond compounds, in addition to a double bond with crosslinking is provided, branch
Presence can also effectively reduce the crystallinity of ethylene-tetrafluoroethylene copolymer (ETFE), enhance the stress cracking resistance of ETFE.
Monomer B content is excessively high, ETFE can be made to change to elastomer, the glass transition temperature of material can reduce, so as to reduce finished product
Temperature limit, if content is too low, role unobvious.Two kinds of the modified monomers A's and B involved in the present invention arrived
Molar ratio is A/B=0.1~10, preferred A/B=0.3~7, further preferred A/B=0.5~5.
The ethylene-tetrafluoroethylene copolymerization can be made by any one of existing suitable polymerisation process
Object, the suitable polymerisation process are included in radical polymerization initiator and trigger lower tetrafluoroethene, ethylene, A monomers and B monomer
Carry out free-radical polymerized, such as emulsion polymerization, suspension polymerization or solution polymerization.Wherein, emulsion polymerization
Since the degree of polymerization is high, at low cost, environmentally friendly, scheme is therefore preferred.It is usually fluorine-containing in the presence of appropriate surfactant
Surfactant such as perfluorooctanoic acid or other suitable surfactants close initiator using oil-soluble radical,
Implement emulsion polymerization in water.About 40 DEG C to 60 DEG C of polymeric reaction temperature be it is suitable, preferably 50 DEG C to 55 DEG C, and can
Using the pressure of about 1MPa to 5MPa.If desired, optionally copolymer can be adjusted using chain-transferring agent in the polymerization
Molecular weight.
Currently preferred, the radical polymerization initiator includes organic initiators, and the chain-transferring agent is selected from C1-C6
Alcohol, C1-C6 alkane or the fluorine-containing alkane of C1-C6.
Preferably, the organic initiators are selected from tert-Butyl peroxypivalate, peroxidating perfluorobutyrl compound
(CF3CF2CF2CO-OO-OCF2CF2CF3), special tert-butyl hydroperoxide isobutyric acid (PBIB) etc. selects organic initiators, polymerization
Object end group thermal stability is high, and reaction is gentler, easily-controllable.
Preferably, the chain-transferring agent is selected from methanol, ethyl alcohol or the tert-butyl alcohol.
The present invention also provides a kind of crosslinkable copolymer compositions, are total to including the above-mentioned ethylene-tetrafluoroethylene of the present invention
Polymers and at least one crosslinking agent.
There are three types of presently used cross-linked polymer routine crosslinking methods:It is peroxyde crosslinked, crosslinked with silicane and crosslinking with radiation.
Preferably, for easy-operating crosslinking method to add peroxide cross-linking agent in the polymer, the crosslinking agent is selected from peroxidating two
Isopropylbenzene (DCP), dibenzoyl peroxide (BPO), di-tert-butyl peroxide (DTBP), di-isopropylbenzene hydroperoxide (DBHP)
Deng.The content of crosslinking agent is to be generally the 0.2-4% of polymer, preferably 2% or so;
The performance characterization test of cross-linked samples:A certain amount of polymer, peroxide cross-linking agent are inserted Brabender to turn
In square rheometer mixer, (280 DEG C or so) mixing 5min or so under the conditions of the relative low temperature after material melts are chosen, using flat
Cross-linked polymer plate is made in plate vulcanizer (300 DEG C or so), then carries out correlated performance characterization to it.
The technical characterstic and excellent results of the present invention:
1st, ethylene-tetrafluoroethylene copolymer of the present invention contains two kinds of double bond modified monomer structures, wherein, there are one A monomers contain
Double bond can reduce the crystallinity of polymer, improve its stress cracking resistance, and reduce melt viscosity, improve processing performance;Together
When, the phenomenon that causing to cause mechanical performance and reduce the adhesion strength of substrate in order to avoid the crystallinity for reducing copolymer merely,
The present invention is also containing there are two double bond compound B monomers so that there is more double bond in polymer, it is appropriately crosslinked significantly to carry
Radiation resistance, toughness, abrasivity, tensile strength and the tearing strength of high finished product.
2nd, the present invention has chosen two class monomers and performance improvement is carried out to ETFE, and a kind of A monomers contain the compound of a double bond,
Because it is rigid short-chain branch, so as to generate apparent adverse effect to the mechanicalness of polymer, and another kind of B monomer be containing
The compound of two double bonds can effectively improve the crosslinking points of polymer, while can be reduced excessive by controlling polymerization technique
Oligomer avoids influencing the related excellent performance of polymer.The effect that described two kinds of modified monomers of A, B emphasize particularly on different fields, and energy
Have complementary advantages, may be such that polymer has both the various excellent performances that can meet application demand.
