The present disclosure relates to the field of polymer filtration membrane materials, and in particular relates to a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) membrane with a gradient pore structure and a method for preparing the same.
Expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (hereinafter referred to as PTFE) membranes with a porous structure have found widespread application in the fields of liquid and gas filtration. The PTFE membranes possess high chemical inertness and thermal stability under extreme temperatures, enabling their use under harsh working conditions.
As proposed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,953,566A, PTFE resin and a lubricant are mixed to form a raw material. The mixed PTFE raw material is molded and paste extruded. After removing the lubricant from the extruded material, the PTFE product is stretched to produce a porous PTFE product. Characteristics of the expanded PTFE materials lie in their porous microstructure, connected by fibrils and nodes, with pore sizes that are relatively uniform and consistent throughout the interior and two surfaces of the membrane, forming a symmetric pore structure.
Filtration materials with a symmetric pore structure can achieve high filtration precision. The smaller the pore size, the more precise the filtration or separation, but smaller pores typically reduce the permeability of liquids or gases through the membrane, failing to provide a high contaminant holding capacity. Conversely, increasing the pore size of the filtration material to enhance membrane flow capacity results in fewer captured particles, thus reducing filtration efficiency.
To increase a processing volume per unit area and unit time and improve filtration rates while maintaining a certain pore size, it is necessary to significantly increase a count of pores or minimize a thickness of the membrane material. Under specific production conditions, significantly increasing the count of pores per unit area is extremely challenging. Furthermore, although reducing the thickness of the filtration material can improve filtration rates, it weakens a mechanical strength of the membrane. The key to developing filtration materials lies in finding the ideal combination of high permeability and high filtration precision, ensuring filtration efficiency while maintaining low resistance, high flow rates, and high contaminant holding capacity. As a technology to overcome this drawback, asymmetric porous membranes have greater processing capacity under the same filtration or separation conditions.
Although the filtration properties of porous PTFE membranes are continuously improving, achieving PTFE filtration membranes that simultaneously offer small particle size capture and low flow resistance remains one of the technical challenges in this field.
Filtration materials with asymmetric pore structures ensure high filtration precision while offering advantages such as low pressure drop and long service life, making them widely used in the filtration and separation fields. For example, CN107810047A discloses an asymmetric PTFE composite with a macroscopically textured surface, where two membrane surfaces of the PTFE composite have different bubble point pressure values. In the method for preparing the PTFE composite, a second PTFE membrane must be expanded in a longitudinal or transverse direction while wetted, i.e., before a lubricant is removed, which is difficult to implement and can easily cause irreversible damage to a PTFE strip. Although the membrane produced by this method has a unique macroscopically textured surface, the surface may exhibit one or more raised strands that may lead to uneven interlayer stress when combined with other support layers.
As another example, U.S. Pat. No. 4,248,924A provides a porous membrane material made of PTFE with an asymmetric structure, prepared by stretching the membrane using a pair of rotating rollers with a temperature difference of 50° C. or higher. The temperature gradient created in a thickness direction by the temperature difference between front and back surfaces of the membrane, combined with a compressive force in a thickness direction, generates an asymmetric structure in the resulting porous membrane material. This structure is characterized by fiber configurations on a front surface differing from those on a rear surface. Often, due to a thinness of the stretched membrane, the temperature gradient generated in the thickness direction is limited, making it difficult to effectively control the asymmetric structure within the membrane material.
In view of the above, it is necessary to improve the asymmetric membrane materials and methods for preparing the same in the prior art to address these issues.
The purpose of the present disclosure is to disclose a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) membrane with a gradient pore structure. The PTFE membrane combines the characteristics of low flow resistance and small pore size, making it excellent in terms of filtration rate and reliable retention accuracy for both liquid and gas filtration.
To achieve the aforementioned objective, the present disclosure provides a PTFE membrane with a gradient pore structure, wherein a cross-section of the PTFE membrane has the gradient pore structure. A first porous outer surface and a second porous outer surface of the PTFE membrane have fibers and nodes with different microstructures the first porous outer surface has an island-like microstructure formed by a plurality of interconnected relatively-small nodes, and the second porous outer surface has an H-shaped ladder-like microstructure formed by a plurality of interconnected relatively-large nodes.
In some embodiments, each of the relatively-small nodes has a circular structure, and an average diameter of the relatively-small nodes is in a range of 0.30 μm to 1.50 μm.
In some embodiments, the relatively-small nodes are connected by a plurality of short and thick microfibers, an average length of the short and thick microfibers is in a range of 0.2 μm to 2.5 μm, an average diameter of the short and thick microfibers is in a range of 0.05 μm to 0.2 μm, and an aspect ratio of the short and thick microfibers is in a range of 2 to 20.
In some embodiments, each of the relatively-large nodes has an elongated oval structure, an average length of the relatively-large nodes is in a range of 0.5 μm to 10 μm, and an average width of the relatively-large nodes is in a range of 0.5 μm to 2 μm.
In some embodiments, the relatively-large nodes are connected by a plurality of long and thin microfibers, an average length of the long and thin microfibers is in a range of 1 μm to 10 μm, an average diameter of the long and thin microfibers is in a range of 5 nm to 200 nm, and an aspect ratio of the long and thin microfibers is in a range of 10 to 200.
Another purpose of the present disclosure is to provide a method for preparing a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) membrane with a gradient pore structure. The method may include the following operations:
In some embodiments, in operation (1), the isoalkane and the PTFE dispersion resin may be uniformly mixed in a weight ratio in a range of 15% to 30% to obtain the PTFE resin mixture, and the PTFE resin mixture may be dried at a temperature not less than 20° C. for more than 12 hours before being pressed as the cylindrical preform.
In some embodiments, in operation (2), the cylindrical preform may be extruded through the T-shaped extrusion dies with different specifications at a compression ratio in a range of 20 to 500 to form the three continuous rectangular strip sheets with different thicknesses and the same width, designated as the first sheet, the second sheet, and the third sheet, wherein: a thickness of the second sheet may be at least 1.2 times of a thickness of the first sheet, a thickness of the third sheet may be at least 1.2 times of the thickness of the second sheet, and a compression ratio for the first sheet may be at least 2.5 times of a compression ratio for the second sheet and 3 times of a compression ratio for the third sheet.
In some embodiments, in operation (4), the laminate may be expanded in the speed direction at a stretching rate in a range of 50%/sec to 2000%/sec and an expansion ratio in a range of 80% to 800% to form the uniaxially stretched product.
In some embodiments, in operation (5), the uniaxially stretched product may be expanded in the direction perpendicular to the speed direction at a stretching rate in a range of 20%/sec to 300%/sec and an expansion ratio in a range of 500% to 2500%, thereby forming the PTFE membrane with the gradient pore structure.
Compared to the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present disclosure are: the PTFE membrane with the gradient pore structure prepared by the method maintains low resistance and high flow rate without reducing thickness or filtration accuracy, and the improved filtration efficiency enhances the capture of contaminants. For a given transmembrane pressure drop, the high permeability or high flow capability of the membrane reduces resistance loss, shortens filtration time, and thereby reduces energy costs. In addition, these characteristics can provide more compact, cost-effective systems.
The present disclosure will be described in detail below in conjunction with the embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. However, it should be noted that these embodiments are not limiting to the invention. Any equivalent transformations or substitutions in function, method, or structure made by those of ordinary skill in the art based on these embodiments fall within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.
