In the prior art, the expanded polytetrafluoroethylene material is prepared by a stretching (X direction and/or Y direction) process, the expansion can only be generated in the stretching direction, the stretching direction forms a fiber structure and a node structure to endow the material with good tensile strength and creep resistance, and simultaneously micropores formed by the fiber structure and the node structure endow the material with good compression performance and low density.

The existing preparation process has the following defects: the material can only be stretched in the transverse direction (X direction) and/or the longitudinal direction (Y direction), and can not be stretched in the vertical direction (Z direction) or other directions, so that the material has anisotropic properties; there is no structure capable of supporting the micropores, resulting in insufficient resilience of the material.

In view of the above, the present invention is particularly proposed.

Test examples

The invention tests the compression resilience, creep resistance, tensile strength and density of the expanded polytetrafluoroethylene materials provided in examples 1-10 and comparative examples 1-3, wherein the test method of the compression resilience performance is performed according to the ASTM F36 standard, the test method of the creep performance is performed according to the ASTM F38 standard, the test method of the tensile strength is performed according to the ASTM D1708 standard, and the test method of the density is performed according to the ASTM D792 standard. The results are shown in Table 1.

TABLE 1 Performance test results for expanded PTFE materials

The data show that the expanded polytetrafluoroethylene material disclosed by the invention is excellent in performance, and the test results of examples 1-9 show that different mixing modes influence the performance of the expanded polytetrafluoroethylene material, the effect of improving the performance of the material by a co-coagulation mixing mode is more remarkable, and then dry mixing is performed.

Example 10 and example 7 were prepared in the same manner except that the ratio of expanded microspheres to polytetrafluoroethylene dispersion was different, and as a result, it was found that example 10 exhibited a 4% decrease in compression resilience, a 1% increase in creep and a 0.7g/cm decrease in density as compared to example 7³It is stated that the ratio of expanded microspheres to polytetrafluoroethylene dispersion has an effect on the material properties.

As can be seen from example 3 and comparative example 1, the expanded polytetrafluoroethylene material without the addition of the expanded microspheres has reduced compression resilience and tensile strength and significantly increased creep index and density, which indicates that the addition of the expanded microspheres can significantly improve the compression resilience and creep resistance of the expanded polytetrafluoroethylene material, enhance the tensile strength and reduce the density of the material.

As can be seen from example 7 and comparative example 2, the properties of the expanded polytetrafluoroethylene material were changed when the preparation parameters were changed. Specifically, in comparative example 2, the aging temperature, the removal temperature of the extrusion aid and the stretching temperature were increased as compared with example 7, and as a result, it was found that the compression resilience of comparative example 2 was decreased by 2%, the creep property was increased by 4%, the tensile strength was decreased by 1MPa, and no large difference in density was produced. It is demonstrated that the above temperature changes cause changes in the compression resilience, creep property, and tensile strength of the expanded polytetrafluoroethylene material.

Compared with the example 3, the compression resilience is reduced by 2%, the creep property is increased by 2%, the tensile strength is reduced by 0.8MPa, and the density is slightly reduced, which shows that when the dosage of the expanded microspheres is too much, the performance of the expanded polytetrafluoroethylene material is not improved along with the increase of the dosage, and the dosage of the expanded microspheres needs to be controlled within a reasonable range to better improve the performance of the expanded polytetrafluoroethylene.
