Description
FLAME- RETARDANT HIGH-TEMPERATURE RESISTANT PAPERLIKE MATERIALS BASED ON POLYIMIDE FIBERS ninpi>nn jnion * Β»Ν>^Α »a>o by ooiann M*I >IOT imn ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE: There is d isclosed a process for producing high-temperature resistant and f 1 a m e - r e t a r d a n t paperlike materials based on polyimide polymers of the general formula which material has a weight per unit area of between 20 and 1,100 g/m2, a LOI-value of at least 32 % 02 and a TG point of at least 300°C. A pulp consisting of an aqueous suspension of polyimide fibers and, if desired, polyimide fibrids having structural units of the general formula (I) is processed on a paper machine to a nonwoven, which is wet-pressed and dried. The polyimide fibers are used in a disintegrated state, i.e., having fiber lengths of from 0.01 to 120 mm. Paperlike materials according to the invent ion having a weight per unit area of between 60 and 290 g/m are producible by contacting a m a n i u 1 a t a b 1 e sheet-like structure of polyimide fibers with a polyimide solution, drying and, if desired, compacting the same.
The invention relates to f 1 a m e - r e t a r d a n t , high-temperature resistant paperlike mater ial based on thermostable polymers as well as to processes for producing the same.
Synthetic papers of thermostable polymers are known and are mainly used for electric insulations. A further applicability is the manufacture of core materials (honeycombs) for composites.
The known processes use conventional paper-making techniques. To this end, it is, however, necessary to prepare pulps as starting materials for such papers, that contain not only fibers, but even fibrils and/or fibrids. The latter type of fiber has a surface structure as is possessed by cellulosic fibers naturally. This structure is imperative for the preparation of synthetic papers from pulps.
Such preparation is described, e.g., in US-A 3,756,908. Starting materials are fibers artd fibrids of aromatic polyamides ( m - a r a m i d e s ) , the fibers being produced according to a known spinning process and the fibrids being prepared by precipitation of a polymer solution. The aqueous slurry of a fiber-fibrid mixture is processed to paper by means of a paper machine, which paper may still be calendered afterwards.
Also EP-B-0 019 113 deals with a paperlike sheet. The fibrous starting material and amorphous particles are commonly suspended. From this pulp, paperlike materials ate obtained according to a k own paper-making procedure, whose strengths are increased by he addition of cross- linking agents and radiation.
US-Λ - 2,999,788 relates to the production of pulp from fi r ids of var ious polymers and to the structures roduced therefrom. Ε Ρ - Λ 0 1 1 9 1 8 5 relates to polyimlde fibers and their production/. These may serve as starting material for the production of the products of the present invention. e reparation of fibrids from m-aramides, which may subsequen ly be utilized for he production of synthetic apers, are described by several Japanese patents (JP 59-47695, JP 60-126400, JP 61-157532, JP 62- 85014, JP 62-85015, JP 62-85018). he roduct ion of f ibrids from synthetic polymers also is described in US-Λ - 3,018,091.
The syn hetic papers known so far, in particular those based on aromatic polyamides, no longer have proved satisfactory in many fields of applicatio s witli regard to hi h tem erature resistance, aging stability and stability at elevated emperatures.
It is the object of the invention to avoid these disadvantages. It consists in providing high-temperature resistant and flame-retardant paperlike materials based on polyimide olymers of the ge eral formula wherein n is an integer greater than 1 and A represents a four-valent aromatic group selected from which material exhibits the following properties in combination: a weight per unit area of between 20 and 2 2 1,100 g/m , in particular of between 60 and 290 g/m , a LOI (limited oxygen index) value of at least 32 % 02 and a TG point of at least 300°C.
Further properties of the material according to the invention may be: - a tearing strength in the longitudinal direction of 2 between 30 and 120 N/ram , and - a d i e 1 e c t r i cb r ea k d o w n strength of 10 to 65 kV/mm at direct voltage and of 15 to 50 kV/mm at alternating voltage .
The polyimide fibers partially may be replaced by other high-temperature resistant organic or inorganic fibers without substantially altering the spectrum of propert ies .
Paperlike materials according to the invention 2 having a weight per unit area of between 60 and 290 g/m are capable of being produced in that a manipulatable sheet-like structure based on polyimide fibers of the general formula wherein n, A and X have the meanings indicated above and R stands for a divalent aromatic group, is contacted with a polyimide solution, dried and, if desired, compacted.
The polyimide fibers mentioned are known and are producible, for instance, according to the process described in AT- B - 377,016.
Advantageously, wovens, knits, nonwovens or needle felts, preferably in the heat-shrunk state, are used as man i pu 1 a t a b 1 e sheet-like structures.
Needle felts having a weight per unit area of from 2 40 to 150 g/m or pre-shrunk needle felts having a weight 2 per unit area of from 60 to 200 g/m are particularly suited.
The sheet-like structures are impregnated with a solution of the polyimide of the general formula I, wherein n, A, X and R have the meanings indicated above. Solvents, preferably, are DMF, N-methyl pyrrolidone (NMP), dimethyl acetamide ( D Ac ) , DMSO or other strongly polar solvents and mixtures of these solvents. As mixing components, even less polar or non-polar solvents, such as dioxan, chlorated hydrocarbons and the like, may be used. The polymer portion of the solution preferably varies between 3 and 40 % by weight.
Impregnation may be carried out according to one of the conventional impregnation procedures, the temperature of the solution ranging between 10 and 100°C.
In the upper temperature range, the reduced viscos i ty of the solut ion allows for more rapid impregnation and, thus, higher production rates.
Suitably, the material sheet is passed through a solution of polyimide and subsequently is freed from solvent. In an advantageous mode of procedure, the sheet is guided through a washing tank, the solvent being extracted with hot water, preferably at 60 to 90°C. Subsequent drying may be effected by radiation, contact heat or convection.
The impregnated and dried sheet-like structures still may be compacted on a twin-roll machine, a multi-roll calender or in a plate press, preferably at a temperature of between 50 and 350°C, to equalize their thickness. Most su itably, it is operated at "l ine pressures" (roll separation force per unit length) of 10 to 1,000 kN/m.
It turned out that the paperlike materials according to the invention having a weight per unit area of between 2 60 and 290 g/m are capable of being produced also by using paper-making techniques known per se, in that a pulp consisting of an aqueous suspension of polyimide fibers and polyimide fibrils and/or polyimide fibrids having structural units of the general formula wherein n, A, X and R have the meanings indicated above, in a manner known per se, is processed on a paper machine to a nonwoven, which is then wet-pressed and dried.
Paperlike materials according to the invention having a weight per unit area of between 20 and 1,100 g/m are capable of being produced in that a pulp consisting of an aqueous suspension of polyimide fibers and, if desired, polyimide fibrids, having structural units of the general formula wherein n, A, X and R have the meanings indicated above, in a manner known per se, is processed on a paper machine to a nonwoven, which is then dried, the polyimide fibers required for the formation of the nonwoven being used in a disintegrated state, i.e., having fiber lengths of from 0,01 to 120 mm.
Preferably, a mixture of fibers of different lengths is used, thus attaining a particularly high uniformity and strength of the paper. The titers of the fibers used, preferably range between 0.7 and 20 dtex.
In addition to polyimide fibers and polyimide fibrids, fibers of polyvinyl alcohol may also be contained in the pulp to be processed. Furthermore, fibers, f ibrids and fibrils of other polymers or materials, e.g., asbestos, carbon, may be admixed to the pulp. Any kind of filler that may be used in conventional paper-making is suitable.
The starting materials even may be spun-dyed in order to produce colored papers. Spun-in additives, such as carbon black, impart an inherent electric conductivity to the paper.
The formation of a nonwoven may be realized both on a paper machine and on a wet fleece molder or a sheet former .
To improve the strength of the nonwoven, additives and binders, e.g., based on polyvinyl alcohol or silicon, may be added to the pulps. It is, however, also possible to apply the same on the wet-pressed nonwoven by spraying, injecting, sprinkling or dipping, whereupon the nonwoven is dried.
Binders based on silicon are well suited for the compaction of nonwovens, because they decompose at temperatures above 200°C, merely leaving most finely divided silicon dioxide in the paper, which practically does not affect the properties of the final product.
A preferred embodiment of the process according to the invention is characterized in that the dried nonwoven is compressed in a plate press or in a multi-roll calender. It is also possible to compress together several superimposed nonwovens.
This may be effected at line pressures of between 0.1 and 1,000 kN/m and at temperatures of preferably 70°C to 450°C. It is also possible to compress multi-layer nonwovens, the coherence of the individual layers being ensured by the t he r mopl as t i c i t y of the polyimide, which may even be increased by the addition of binders.
The paperlike material produced according to the invention has a uniform and smooth surface and is capable of being coated by known techniques, e.g., in order to obtain colored, conductive or high-gloss surfaces.
The paperlike material according to the invention also is well suited for application in fields that requ ire, i.a., a high thermostability, e.g., for insulating materials in the electric industry, for engines, generators and transformers, furthermore, as sheet sealing materials in the engineering industry, for instance, as seals in combustion engines, such as, e.g., cylinder head gaskets and the like.
