Abstract:In this study, the effect of hot calendering process on the microstructure and properties of poly (p-phenylene terephthalamide) (PPTA) paper-based materials was investigated. The microstructures of the fracture surface, crystalline structure, and single fiber strength of the PPTA paper-based materials as well as the different bonding behaviors between the PPTA fibers and PPTA fibrids obtained before and after the hot calendering process were examined. The results indicated that a high linear pressure would result in a limited improvement of the strength owing to the unimproved paper structure. The optimal values of tensile index and dielectric strength of 56.6 N·m/g and 27.6 kV/mm, respectively, could only be achieved with a synergistic effects of hot calendering temperature and linear pressure (240℃ and 110 kN/m, respectively). This result suggested it was possible to achieve a significant reinforcement and improvement in the interfacial bonding of functional PPTA paper-based materials, and avoid the formation of unexpected pleats and cracks in PPTA paper-based materials during the hot calendering process.
