摘要

Biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP) films were prepared by sheet casting and biaxial stretching. The relationship between morphology

structure and electric breakdown strength (

) of PP sheet and BOPP film was studied. The Eb of BOPP film could be improved by controlling the chill roll temperature and heat setting time.

Abstract

Polypropylene (PP) sheets are cast with various chill roll temperatures and rates

which are studied with differential scanning calorimetry

wide angel X-ray diffraction

scanning electronic microscopy and dielectric withstand voltage test system. The results show that increasing the chill roll temperature and cast rate can promote the increase of crystallinity and the growth of

-form. The PP sheets have asymmetric skin layer structures. The lower the chill roll temperature

the thicker the skin layer

the smaller the spherulite size. The electric breakdown strength (

) of PP sheets is mainly affected by the crystallinity but not the morphology. The PP sheets are further stretched to prepare bi-axially oriented PP (BOPP) films with various heat setting time. Our results indicate that the structure of PP sheets affects the properties of BOPP films. The as prepared BOPP films from the sheets cast at high chill roll temperature and rate have the highest crystallinity and

. Heat setting time has profound effect on the crystallinity and

which increase first and then decrease with the heat setting time. It is expected that our study can provide guidance for optimizing process parameters.
