The performance test of the polytetrafluoroethylene breathable films provided in examples 1 to 9 and comparative examples 1 to 6 was carried out by the following specific method:
(1) Pore diameter
The test was carried out according to the method described in standard GB/T32361-2015, in μm: soaking a sample to be detected by using low surface tension liquid to ensure that all pores are filled with wetting liquid; the sample was mounted on a jig, vented, and the gas pressure was increased stepwise. As the gas pressure increases, the surface tension of the liquid is overcome until the liquid is drained from the pores, and the relationship between the gas pressure and the gas flow rate during this process is recorded, referred to as the "wet" curve; after all the liquid is discharged, recording the relation between the gas pressure and the gas flow, and calling a dry curve; the average pore diameter is calculated by a dry curve and a wet curve.
(2) Air flux
The test was performed according to the test standard QCT 979-2014: and installing the cut sample to be tested in a clamping device, installing the clamping device in a closed metal tank, wherein one end of the metal tank is connected with an air tightness tester, and the other end of the metal tank is connected with a gas collecting device by using a gas pipe. The gas was collected using a drainage method to test the volume V and the time T required to collect the gas was recorded. The gas flux of the film was calculated as follows: k = V/(a · T); wherein K represents the average ventilation flow, mL/min/cm 2 (ii) a V represents the volume of gas collected, mL; a represents an effective area, cm 2 (ii) a T represents the gas collection time, min.
(3) Water pressure resistance
The test was performed according to the test standard QCT 979-2014: installing the cut sample to be tested in a clamping device, and adding a water column with the height of 10mm into a clamp; connecting one end of the clamping device with an air tightness tester; testing the pressure of water drop exudation within 1min under the stable air pressure; the initial pressure of the test is 30kPa, and each test is increased by 1kPa if no water seeps out until water seeps out; 5 samples were tested, and the minimum pressure without water penetration was taken as the test result.
(4) Density of
Instead of the density of the sintered product (cylindrical billet obtained in step (2) of the production method), the mass of the sintered product was weighed, the volume of the sintered product (calculated from the billet inner diameter, outer diameter and height) was measured, and the density was obtained by dividing the mass by the volume.
(5) Shrinkage rate
Cutting the sample to be measured into sample pieces with length of about 10cm and width of 1cm, and measuring the accurate length L by a ruler 0 (ii) a Placing in a 200 ℃ oven for 10min, taking out, cooling to room temperature, and measuring the length L of the film by using a ruler; shrinkage factor = (L-L) 0 )/L 0 ×100%。

The test was carried out according to the method described in the standard ASTM D461-87.
The test data are shown in table 1:
TABLE 1
In table 1, n.d. represents no detection; a representing the maximum range of out of the instrument.
As is clear from the property data in Table 1, in the polytetrafluoroethylene permeable films provided in examples 1 to 7 of the present invention, the polytetrafluoroethylene permeable film has a porous structure with a uniform distribution and controllable size and porosity, an average pore diameter of 0.8 to 3 μm and a density of 1.0 to 1.7g/cm, due to the mutual cooperation between the filler-containing polytetrafluoroethylene frit and the second polytetrafluoroethylene resin 3 The gas flux reaches 210-900 mL/min/cm 2 The flexible heat-shrinkable film has the following characteristics of @7kPa, water pressure resistance of 35-67 kPa, heat shrinkage rate of not more than 2.0%, tensile strength of 12.5-24 MPa, excellent air permeability, water resistance and mechanical strength, low shrinkage rate, good scale temperature property, and capability of fully meeting the application requirements of the polytetrafluoroethylene breathable film in the explosion-proof valve of a battery pack. Simultaneously, the filler in the polytetrafluoroethylene sintering material is screened and the grain size is controlled, and the polytetrafluoroethylene is sinteredThe performance of the polytetrafluoroethylene gas-permeable membrane can be further optimized by the design of the proportion of the caking materials to the polytetrafluoroethylene resin; if the filler is inorganic filler silica (example 5), the water pressure resistance of the polytetrafluoroethylene breathable film is affected. The polytetrafluoroethylene sintering material and the second polytetrafluoroethylene resin are mutually cooperated according to a specific mass ratio, so that the comprehensive performance of the polytetrafluoroethylene breathable film can be more balanced. If the amount of the polytetrafluoroethylene sintering material is too much (example 6), the film has many pores, large pore diameter and good air permeability, but the water pressure resistance is poor; if the amount of the second polytetrafluoroethylene resin is too large (example 7), the breathability of the film is affected. In addition, the mass percentage of the filler in the polytetrafluoroethylene breathable film directly affects the film performance, and if the mass percentage of the FPA filler is more than 20 percent (example 9), the breathability of the film is reduced; if the filler content is less than 5% by mass (example 8), the heat shrinkage of the polytetrafluoroethylene permeable film increases, the dimensional stability decreases, and the water pressure resistance decreases.
In the present invention, D 50 The mutual cooperation of the polytetrafluoroethylene sintering material with the grain diameter of 50-150 mu m and the polytetrafluoroethylene resin ensures that the film has a proper pore-size structure and excellent air permeability; if the preparation raw materials are all polytetrafluoroethylene sintering materials (comparative example 6), the water resistance and the mechanical strength of the film are poor; if the starting material was a combination of PTFE resin and filler without pre-sintering (comparative example 5), the film had little gas permeability. Moreover, the too high grain diameter of the polytetrafluoroethylene sintering material (comparative example 2) can cause the pore diameter of the film to be too large, the water resistance is poor, and the too small grain diameter (comparative example 3) can cause the pore diameter of the film to be small, and the air permeability is difficult to meet the requirement of pressure relief. According to the invention, the filler is added into the polytetrafluoroethylene sintering material to further improve the air permeability, water resistance and mechanical strength of the film, and if the filler is not added into the system (comparative example 1), the comprehensive performance of the film is obviously reduced; if the filler is not subjected to the pre-sintering step (comparative example 4), the filler and the PTFE polymer are difficult to be fully blended and cooperated, the film appearance has obvious non-uniform phenomenon, and the performance of the polytetrafluoroethylene breathable film cannot meet the application requirement.
