Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、樹脂組成物及びそれを用いた高周波同軸ケーブルに係り、特に、移動体通信施設やマイクロ波通信施設で用いられる高周波同軸ケーブルに関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
携帯電話に必要な移動体通信施設やテレビ局のマイクロ波通信施設などで用いられる高周波同軸ケーブルは、導体の外周に、発泡させた樹脂組成物を押出成形することで構成される発泡絶縁層を有している。この樹脂組成物としては、従来、溶融張力(MS)が大きく、発泡させ易い低密度ポリエチレンをベースにし、誘電正接(tanδ)が小さく、減衰量の小さい高密度ポリエチレン又は中密度ポリエチレンを少量ブレンドしたものが用いられていた。
【0003】
ここで、樹脂組成物を発泡させるために発泡核剤を用いているが、発泡核剤としては、物理発泡核剤と化学発泡核剤の2種類がある。物理発泡核剤としては、タルク(珪酸マグネシウム)や窒化珪素(BN)が主に使用されている。また、化学発泡核剤としては、アゾジカルボンアミド(以下、ADCAと記す)やp,p'−オキシ−ビス−ベンゼンスルホニルヒドラジド(以下、OBSHと記す)が主に使用されている(例えば、特許文献1参照)。発泡核剤を樹脂組成物中に分散させることで、各発泡核剤がそれぞれ気泡開始点となり、樹脂組成物が発泡される。
【0004】
近年、通信速度の向上及び容量アップを目的として、高周波同軸ケーブルの使用周波数が高くなる傾向にある。これに伴い、信号の減衰量の小さいケーブルが要求されるようになっている。従来の低密度ポリエチレンを多く含む樹脂組成物では、この要求に対処できなくなっており、より減衰量の小さい高密度ポリエチレン又は中密度ポリエチレンを多く含む樹脂組成物とする必要が生じている。
【0005】
【特許文献1】
特開平9−52983号公報
【0006】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
ところで、高密度ポリエチレン又は中密度ポリエチレンを多く含む樹脂組成物を用いて、高周波同軸ケーブルの発泡絶縁層を被覆形成する場合、減衰量は小さくなるものの発泡性が悪化することから、層中の気泡壁が破れて“巣(巨大な空隙)”が発生するという問題があった。絶縁層中における“巣”の発生は、高周波同軸ケーブルの電圧定在波比(VSWR)の上昇を招くため、好ましくない。
【0007】
一方、発泡核剤として化学発泡核剤を用いた場合、押出被覆時の加熱によって発泡核剤が分解して窒素ガスが発生し、この窒素ガスが気泡の開始点となり、微細な気泡を有する発泡絶縁層を形成することができる。しかしながら、OBSHは熱分解時に水が発生し、また、ADCAは熱分解時に高極性分解残渣が生成することから、化学発泡核剤を多く混合した場合、発泡絶縁層の電気特性を悪化させるという問題があった。また、発泡核剤として物理発泡核剤を用いた場合、化学発泡核剤と比較して気泡が大きくなりやすく、そのため、添加量を多くする必要があり、発泡絶縁層の電気特性を悪化させるという問題があった。
【0008】
以上の事情を考慮して創案された本発明の一つの目的は、減衰量が小さく、かつ、発泡性が良好な樹脂組成物を提供することにある。
【0009】
また、本発明の他の目的は、減衰量が小さく、かつ、VSWRが小さい高周波同軸ケーブルを提供することにある。
【0010】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記目的を達成すべく本発明に係る樹脂組成物は、密度が0.931g/cm3以上の中密度ポリエチレン又は高密度ポリエチレン55〜95重量部に、密度が0.925〜0.930g/cm3の低密度ポリエチレンを5〜45重量部の割合で混合した混合物100重量部に対し、発泡核剤として、ADCA(アゾジカルボンアミド)、OBSH(p , ' −オキシ−ビス−ベンゼンスルホニルヒドラジド)、又はこれらの混合物を0.001〜0.015重量部の割合で混合した混合組成物で構成したものである。
【0011】
ここで、中密度ポリエチレン又は高密度ポリエチレンのメルトフローレートが4〜15g/10分、低密度ポリエチレンのメルトフローレートが0.1〜4.0g/10分であることが好ましい。
【0012】
以上によれば、減衰量が小さいという中密度ポリエチレン又は高密度ポリエチレンの良好な電気特性は保ったまま、発泡核剤の混合割合が少ないにも関わらず良好な発泡性を有する樹脂組成物が得られる。
【0013】
一方、本発明に係る高周波同軸ケーブルは、導体の外周に、上述した樹脂組成物の発泡体で構成される発泡絶縁層を設けたものである。
【0014】
以上によれば、発泡性が良好な樹脂組成物で構成される発泡絶縁層であるため、層中に巣が発生することはない。また、樹脂組成物中における発泡核剤の混合割合が少ないため、高周波同軸ケーブルの電気特性は良好となる。
【0015】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明の好適一実施の形態を添付図面に基づいて説明する。
【0016】
本発明の好適な一実施形態に係る樹脂組成物は、
イオン重合法を用いて合成され、密度が0.931g/cm3以上、好ましくは0.931〜0.965g/cm3の中密度ポリエチレン又は高密度ポリエチレン(以下、中,高密度ポリエチレンと記す)55〜95重量部に、ラジカル重合法を用いて合成され、密度が0.925〜0.930g/cm3の低密度ポリエチレンを5〜45重量部の割合で混合した混合物100重量部に対し、発泡核剤を0.001〜0.2重量部の割合で混合してなる混合組成物で構成される発泡組成物である。また、中,高密度ポリエチレンのメルトフローレート(以下、MFRと記す)は4〜15g/10分、低密度ポリエチレンのMFRは0.1〜4.0g/10分に調整される。ここで言うMFRは、JIS K7210に準拠し、190℃、21.18Nの押出圧力で測定した値である。
【0017】
この樹脂組成物を用いた本発明の好適な一実施の形態に係る高周波同軸ケーブルは、図1に示すように、内部導体11の外周に、前述した樹脂組成物で構成される発泡絶縁層12を設けたものである。発泡絶縁層12の周りには、ケーブル10を曲げ易くするための波付け金属管(外部導体)13が適宜設けられる。また、外部導体13の周りには、ケーブル10の保護及び水の浸入防止を目的として、ポリエチレン組成物で構成されるシース14が適宜設けられる。ここで、内部導体11の外周に発泡絶縁層12を押出し被覆してなるものを発泡コアと称する。
【0018】
内部導体11としては、導電性が良好な金属パイプ、例えば銅パイプや、長尺コイル状のスパイラルタイプの波付け金属管が用いられる。
【0019】
また、発泡絶縁層12は、樹脂組成物を発泡させてなるコンパウンドで構成され、例えば2.5〜20mmの厚さで押出し被覆される。
【0020】
ケーブル10のサイズは、発泡コアの外径に応じて、直径が5、8、10、17、20、29、39mmの7種類がある。ここで、ケーブル10のサイズが10mm以上の場合、ケーブル10の屈曲性及び可撓性を良好とするために、図1に示した波付け金属管(コルゲート管)13が用いられる。波付け金属管13としては、図1に示したコルゲート状のアニュラータイプ、長尺コイル状のスパイラルタイプの2種類がある。また、外部導体13は、ケーブル10の屈曲性及び可撓性を良好とするために薄肉に形成され、例えば肉厚は0.2〜1mmとされる。尚、ケーブル10のサイズが10mm未満の場合、発泡コアの外周に波付け金属管13を設けなくてもよい。
【0021】
次に、本実施の形態に係る高周波同軸ケーブル10の製造方法を、添付図面に基づいて説明する。
【0022】
図2に示すように、ケーブル製造装置20は、主に、内部導体11(図1参照)を送出する送出ドラム21と、送出された内部導体11の外周に、発泡絶縁層12(図1参照)を被覆する押出機27と、内部導体11の外周に発泡絶縁層を設けてなる発泡コア31の巻き取りを行う巻取ドラム33とで構成される。
【0023】
送出ドラム21から送出された内部導体11は、予熱槽23において予熱された後、押出機27に導入される。押出機27において、内部導体11の外周に、発泡絶縁層が被覆形成され、発泡コア31が得られる。押出機27は、第1押出部27a、第2押出部27b、及び押出ヘッド部27cで構成される。発泡絶縁層を構成するコンパウンドは、第1押出部27aにおいて、溶融樹脂(中密度ポリエチレン、高密度ポリエチレン、低密度ポリエチレン、及び発泡核剤の混合組成物)28と、ガス注入装置29から注入、供給される発泡剤(例えば、炭酸ガスなど)30とをよく混練した後、第2押出部27bにおいて発泡に適した温度に低下させると共に、発泡度を70〜80%、好ましくは75〜80%に調整する。この発泡コンパウンドを押出ヘッド部27cにおいて内部導体11の外周に押出し被覆し、発泡絶縁層を形成する。
【0024】
次に、発泡コア31を冷却水槽32内に導入して冷却を行い、巻取ドラム33に巻き取る。
【0025】
その後、巻取ドラム33に巻き取られた発泡コア31を送出し、その外周に、順次、外部導体13(図1参照)、保護シース(外皮)14(図1参照)を設けることで、図1に示した高周波同軸ケーブル10が得られる。
【0026】
ここで、溶融樹脂28は、低密度ポリエチレンに発泡核剤を練り込み、樹脂組成物における発泡核剤の配合割合の10〜100倍の濃度の核剤マスターバッチを形成し、そのマスターバッチに中,高密度ポリエチレンをドライブレンドし、発泡核剤の割合を0.001〜0.015重量部に調整したものである。
【0027】
また、発泡させるための発泡剤(ガス)30としては、樹脂の発泡に慣用的に用いているものであれば全て適用可能であり、炭酸ガスの他に、例えば、規制対象外のフロンガス、窒素ガス、アルゴンガス、又はこれら不活性ガスの混合ガスなどが挙げられる。
【0028】
次に、本実施の形態に係る樹脂組成物及びそれを用いた高周波同軸ケーブルの作用を説明する。
【0029】
ポリエチレンの高周波帯域でのtanδは、密度と密接に関係しており、不純物の量が同じであれば密度が高いほど小さくなる。従って、純粋にtanδを小さくするのであれば、密度が0.931g/cm3以上の中,高密度ポリエチレンを用いるのが好ましい。しかし、中,高密度ポリエチレンは、分子鎖の分岐が小さいため、発泡し易さの尺度となる伸張粘度が小さく、発泡樹脂を用いた絶縁層を押出被覆する際に巣が発生し易くなってしまう。
【0030】
そこで、本実施の形態に係る樹脂組成物においては、イオン重合法により合成した密度が0.931g/cm3以上の中,高密度ポリエチレンをベースにして、ラジカル重合法により合成した密度が0.925〜0.930g/cm3の低密度ポリエチレンを所定の割合でブレンドし、溶融張力の向上(伸張粘度の増大)を図っている。また、各ポリエチレンのMFRを、所定の範囲に調整している。さらに、各ポリエチレンのブレンド物に、発泡核剤を所定の割合でブレンドし、電気特性を損なうことなく、発泡性を良好としている。
【0031】
これによって、中,高密度ポリエチレンの、tanδ及び減衰量が小さいという特性を保ったまま、発泡挙動を安定化することができる。その結果、図1に示した発泡絶縁層12を押出被覆する際に、層中に巣が発生するおそれがなく、延いては減衰量及びVSWRが小さな高周波同軸ケーブル10が得られる。
【0032】
また、イオン重合法により合成した中,高密度ポリエチレンを用いることで、tanδを小さくすることができるという効果が得られる。ラジカル重合法により合成した低密度ポリエチレンを用いることで、溶融張力を大きくすることができるという効果が得られる。特に、これらを組み合わせて用いることで、tanδが小さく、かつ、溶融張力が大きいという両方のバランスを高い次元で達成することができるという効果が得られる。
【0033】
ここで、中,高密度ポリエチレンの密度が0.930g/cm3以下では、tanδが所定値よりも大きくなってしまい、また、密度が0.965g/cm3を超えると、伸張粘度が小さくなってしまい、発泡絶縁層12の被覆時に巣が発生し易くなるためである。
【0034】
低密度ポリエチレンの密度が0.925g/cm3未満では、tanδが所定値よりも大きくなってしまい、また、密度が0.930g/cm3を超えると、溶融張力が小さくなってしまい、発泡絶縁層12の被覆時に巣が発生し易くなるためである。また、中,高密度ポリエチレン55〜95重量部に対する低密度ポリエチレンの混合割合を5〜45重量部としたのは、5重量部未満だと溶融張力を向上させる効果が十分に得られず、45重量部を超えるとtanδが所定値よりも大きくなってしまうためである。
【0035】
中,高密度ポリエチレンのMFRを4〜15g/10分、低密度ポリエチレンのMFRを0.1〜4g/10分としたのは、それぞれが4g/10分未満、0.1g/10分未満だと、発泡絶縁層12の押出被覆時に発泡コンパウンドの発熱が大きくなって、発泡絶縁層12の内層側と外層側とで温度ムラが生じ、巣の発生を招いてしまうためである。また、それぞれが15g/10分、4g/10分を超えると、十分な溶融張力を得ることができず、発泡絶縁層12の被覆時に巣が発生し易くなるためである。
【0036】
ケーブル10の安定化を図るためには、発泡絶縁層12の気泡サイズを極力小さくする必要がある。このため、発泡核剤として、気泡の微細化効果が大きい化学発泡核剤、好ましくはADCA、OBSH、又はこれらの混合物を用いる。化学発泡核剤の添加量が少ない程、発泡絶縁層12の電気特性が良好となる。このため、各ポリエチレンの混合物100重量部に対して、1種の化学発泡核剤を単独で混合する場合は0.001〜0.015重量部、又は2種の化学発泡核剤を併用して混合する場合は合計0.001〜0.015重量部の割合で混合する。
【0037】
以上、本発明の実施の形態は、上述した実施の形態に限定されるものではなく、他にも種々のものが想定されることは言うまでもない。
【0038】
【実施例】
次に、本発明の実施の形態について、実施例に基づいて説明するが、本発明の実施の形態はこれらの実施例に限定されるものではない。
【0039】

次に、各試料を発泡させてなる発泡コンパウンドで構成される発泡絶縁層を、内部導体である外径がφ9.0mmの銅パイプの外周に押出被覆し、発泡コアを作製する。その後、発泡コアの外周に、アニュラータイプの波付け金属管(外部導体)及び保護シースを設け、高周波同軸ケーブルを作製した。高周波同軸ケーブルの外径は、減衰量が最も厳しいφ20mmとした。

【0050】
ここで、樹脂組成物のMFR(メルトフローレート)は、JIS K7210に準拠し、190℃、21.18Nの押出圧力で測定した値である。
【0051】

【0052】
【表1】

Figure 0004123087
【0053】
【表2】
Figure 0004123087
【0054】
表1に示すように、試料1〜15の各樹脂組成物を用いた高周波同軸ケーブルは、減衰量が6.0〜6.4dB/100mであり、いずれも合格であった。また、各高周波同軸ケーブルは、VSWRが1.07〜1.10であり、いずれも合格であった。また、各高周波同軸ケーブルのいずれにおいても、発泡絶縁層に巣の発生はなかった。
【0055】
これに対して、試料21の樹脂組成物は、中,高密度ポリエチレンの密度が規定範囲よりも小さく、かつ、MFRが小さい。このため、樹脂組成物のtanδが大きくなってしまい、減衰量が6.8dB/100mと大きくなり不合格であった。また、発泡絶縁層に巣が発生した。
【0056】
試料22の樹脂組成物は、低密度ポリエチレンの密度が規定範囲よりも小さいため、tanδが大きくなってしまい、その結果、ケーブルの減衰量が6.7dB/100mと大きくなり不合格であった。
【0057】
試料23の樹脂組成物は、低密度ポリエチレンの密度が規定範囲よりも大きいため、溶融張力が小さくなってしまい、ケーブルの発泡絶縁層に巣が発生した。その結果、VSWRが1.30と大きくなってしまい、VSWRは不合格であった。また、減衰量も6.7dB/100mと大きく、不合格であった。
【0058】
試料24の樹脂組成物は、低密度ポリエチレンのMFRが規定範囲よりも大きいため、十分な溶融張力を得ることができず、ケーブルの発泡絶縁層に巣が発生した。その結果、VSWRが1.30と大きくなってしまい、VSWRは不合格であった。また、減衰量も6.7dB/100mと大きく、不合格であった。
【0059】
試料25の樹脂組成物は中,高密度ポリエチレンの混合割合が規定範囲よりも少ないことから、tanδが大きくなってしまい、その結果、ケーブルの減衰量が6.9dB/100mと大きくなり不合格であった。
【0060】
試料26の樹脂組成物は低密度ポリエチレンを混合していないことから、溶融張力が小さく、発泡絶縁層の被覆形成ができず、ケーブル製造が不可能であった。
【0061】
試料27〜29の樹脂組成物は発泡核剤の混合割合が規定範囲よりも多いことから、いずれも減衰量が6.6,6.7,6.8dB/100mと大きくなり不合格であった。
【0062】
以上より、実施例1〜15の樹脂組成物を用いて、内部導体の外周に発泡絶縁層を形成し、高周波同軸ケーブルを作製したことで、巣の発生がなく、かつ、減衰量が6.5dB/100m以下、VSWRが1.10以下と電気特性が良好な高周波同軸ケーブルを得ることができた。
【0063】
【発明の効果】
以上要するに本発明によれば、良好な電気特性及び良好な発泡性を有する樹脂組成物が得られるという優れた効果を発揮する。

As this resin composition, conventionally, a low density polyethylene having a high melt tension (MS) and easy to foam is used as a base, and a small amount of a high density polyethylene or a medium density polyethylene having a small dielectric loss tangent (tan δ) and a small attenuation is blended. Things were used.
[0003]
Here, a foam nucleating agent is used for foaming the resin composition, and there are two types of foam nucleating agents, a physical foaming nucleating agent and a chemical foaming nucleating agent. As the physical foam nucleating agent, talc (magnesium silicate) or silicon nitride (BN) is mainly used. As chemical foaming nucleating agents, azodicarbonamide (hereinafter referred to as ADCA) and p, p′-oxy-bis-benzenesulfonylhydrazide (hereinafter referred to as OBSH) are mainly used (for example, patents). Reference 1). By dispersing the foam nucleating agent in the resin composition, each foam nucleating agent becomes a bubble starting point, and the resin composition is foamed.
[0004]
In recent years, the use frequency of high-frequency coaxial cables tends to increase for the purpose of improving communication speed and increasing capacity. Accordingly, a cable having a small signal attenuation is required. Conventional resin compositions containing a large amount of low-density polyethylene cannot cope with this requirement, and there is a need for a resin composition containing a large amount of high-density polyethylene or medium-density polyethylene with a smaller attenuation.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]
By the way, when a foamed insulating layer of a high-frequency coaxial cable is formed by coating using a resin composition containing a large amount of high-density polyethylene or medium-density polyethylene, the foaming property is deteriorated although the attenuation amount is small. There was a problem that the wall was broken and a “nest (huge void)” was generated. Generation | occurrence | production of the "nest" in an insulating layer invites the raise of the voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) of a high frequency coaxial cable, and is unpreferable.
[0007]
On the other hand, when a chemical foaming nucleating agent is used as the foaming nucleating agent, the foaming nucleating agent is decomposed by heating during extrusion coating to generate nitrogen gas, and this nitrogen gas becomes the starting point of bubbles, and foaming having fine bubbles. An insulating layer can be formed. However, OBSH generates water during thermal decomposition, and ADCA generates highly polar decomposition residues during thermal decomposition. Therefore, when a large amount of chemical foaming nucleating agent is mixed, the electrical characteristics of the foam insulation layer deteriorate. was there. In addition, when a physical foam nucleating agent is used as the foam nucleating agent, bubbles are likely to be larger than a chemical foaming nucleating agent, so that it is necessary to increase the amount of addition, and the electrical properties of the foam insulating layer are deteriorated. There was a problem.
[0008]
One object of the present invention, which was created in view of the above circumstances, is to provide a resin composition having a small amount of attenuation and good foamability.
[0009]
Another object of the present invention is to provide a high-frequency coaxial cable having a small attenuation and a small VSWR.
[0010]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to achieve the above object, the resin composition according to the present invention has a density of 0.925 to 0.930 g / cm in a medium density polyethylene or high density polyethylene of 55 to 95 parts by weight of 0.931 g / cm 3 or more. 3 of the low density polyethylene to 100 parts by weight of the mixture in a mixing ratio of 5 to 45 parts by weight, as a foam nucleating agent, ADCA (azodicarbonamide), OBSH (p, p '- oxy - bis - benzenesulfonyl hydrazide) Or a mixture composition obtained by mixing these mixtures at a ratio of 0.001 to 0.015 parts by weight.
[0011]
Here, it is preferable that the melt flow rate of medium density polyethylene or high density polyethylene is 4 to 15 g / 10 min, and the melt flow rate of low density polyethylene is 0.1 to 4.0 g / 10 min.
[0012]
According to the above, a resin composition having good foamability despite the small mixing ratio of the foam nucleating agent while maintaining the good electrical characteristics of medium density polyethylene or high density polyethylene with low attenuation is obtained. It is done.
[0013]
On the other hand, the high-frequency coaxial cable according to the present invention is provided with a foamed insulating layer made of the above-described foamed resin composition on the outer periphery of a conductor.
[0014]
According to the above, since the foamed insulating layer is composed of a resin composition having good foamability, no nest is generated in the layer. Moreover, since the mixing ratio of the foam nucleating agent in the resin composition is small, the electrical characteristics of the high-frequency coaxial cable are good.
[0015]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0016]

Further, the melt flow rate (hereinafter referred to as MFR) of medium and high density polyethylene is adjusted to 4 to 15 g / 10 minutes, and the MFR of low density polyethylene is adjusted to 0.1 to 4.0 g / 10 minutes. The MFR referred to here is a value measured according to JIS K7210 and an extrusion pressure of 190 ° C. and 21.18 N.
[0017]
As shown in FIG. 1, a high-frequency coaxial cable according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention using this resin composition has a foamed insulating layer 12 made of the resin composition described above on the outer periphery of an internal conductor 11. Is provided. Around the foamed insulating layer 12, a corrugated metal tube (outer conductor) 13 for making the cable 10 easy to bend is appropriately provided. In addition, a sheath 14 made of a polyethylene composition is appropriately provided around the outer conductor 13 for the purpose of protecting the cable 10 and preventing water from entering. Here, the one obtained by extruding and covering the foam insulating layer 12 on the outer periphery of the inner conductor 11 is referred to as a foam core.
[0018]
As the internal conductor 11, a metal pipe having good conductivity, such as a copper pipe, or a spiral coil corrugated metal pipe having a long coil shape is used.
[0019]
Moreover, the foaming insulating layer 12 is comprised with the compound formed by foaming a resin composition, and is extrusion-coated by the thickness of 2.5-20 mm, for example.
[0020]
There are seven types of cable 10 with diameters of 5, 8, 10, 17, 20, 29, and 39 mm depending on the outer diameter of the foam core. Here, when the size of the cable 10 is 10 mm or more, the corrugated metal tube (corrugated tube) 13 shown in FIG. 1 is used in order to make the cable 10 flexible and flexible. As the corrugated metal tube 13, there are two types of corrugated annular type and long coiled spiral type shown in FIG. Further, the outer conductor 13 is formed to be thin in order to improve the flexibility and flexibility of the cable 10, for example, the thickness is set to 0.2 to 1 mm. In addition, when the size of the cable 10 is less than 10 mm, the corrugated metal tube 13 may not be provided on the outer periphery of the foam core.
[0021]
Next, a method for manufacturing the high-frequency coaxial cable 10 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0022]
As shown in FIG. 2, the cable manufacturing apparatus 20 mainly includes a sending drum 21 that sends out the inner conductor 11 (see FIG. 1), and a foamed insulating layer 12 (see FIG. 1) on the outer periphery of the sent inner conductor 11. ) And a winding drum 33 that winds the foamed core 31 provided with a foamed insulating layer on the outer periphery of the inner conductor 11.
[0023]
The internal conductor 11 delivered from the delivery drum 21 is preheated in the preheating tank 23 and then introduced into the extruder 27. In the extruder 27, the foamed insulating layer is coated on the outer periphery of the inner conductor 11 to obtain the foamed core 31. The extruder 27 includes a first extrusion unit 27a, a second extrusion unit 27b, and an extrusion head unit 27c. The compound constituting the foam insulation layer is injected from the molten resin (mixed composition of medium density polyethylene, high density polyethylene, low density polyethylene, and foam nucleating agent) 28 and the gas injection device 29 in the first extrusion part 27a. After thoroughly kneading the foaming agent (for example, carbon dioxide gas) 30 to be supplied, the second extrusion part 27b is lowered to a temperature suitable for foaming and the degree of foaming is 70 to 80%, preferably 75 to 80%. Adjust to. This foamed compound is extrusion coated on the outer periphery of the inner conductor 11 at the extrusion head portion 27c to form a foam insulation layer.
[0024]
Next, the foam core 31 is introduced into the cooling water tank 32 to be cooled, and wound around the winding drum 33.
[0025]
Thereafter, the foamed core 31 wound around the winding drum 33 is sent out, and an outer conductor 13 (see FIG. 1) and a protective sheath (outer skin) 14 (see FIG. 1) are sequentially provided on the outer periphery thereof. 1 is obtained.
[0026]
Here, the molten resin 28 kneads a foam nucleating agent into low density polyethylene to form a nucleating agent masterbatch having a concentration of 10 to 100 times the blending ratio of the foaming nucleating agent in the resin composition. , High-density polyethylene is dry blended, and the ratio of the foam nucleating agent is adjusted to 0.001 to 0.015 parts by weight.
[0027]
Further, as the foaming agent (gas) 30 for foaming, any material that is conventionally used for foaming resins can be applied. In addition to carbon dioxide gas, for example, non-regulated Freon gas, nitrogen Examples thereof include gas, argon gas, or a mixed gas of these inert gases.
[0028]
Next, the operation of the resin composition according to the present embodiment and the high-frequency coaxial cable using the resin composition will be described.
[0029]
The tan δ in the high frequency band of polyethylene is closely related to the density, and becomes smaller as the density is higher if the amount of impurities is the same. Therefore, if the tan δ is purely reduced, it is preferable to use high density polyethylene having a density of 0.931 g / cm 3 or more. However, medium- and high-density polyethylene has small molecular chain branching, so it has a low extensional viscosity, which is a measure of ease of foaming, and a nest is likely to occur when an insulating layer using a foamed resin is coated by extrusion. End up.
[0030]
Therefore, in the resin compositions according to the present embodiment, in the synthesized density by ionic polymerization of 0.931 g / cm 3 or more, and a high density polyethylene-based, synthetic and density by radical polymerization 0. Low density polyethylene of 925 to 0.930 g / cm 3 is blended at a predetermined ratio to improve the melt tension (increase in the extensional viscosity). Further, the MFR of each polyethylene is adjusted to a predetermined range. Furthermore, a foam nucleating agent is blended with each polyethylene blend at a predetermined ratio to improve foamability without impairing electrical characteristics.
[0031]
This makes it possible to stabilize the foaming behavior while maintaining the characteristics of medium and high-density polyethylene that tan δ and attenuation are small. As a result, when the foamed insulating layer 12 shown in FIG. 1 is extrusion-coated, there is no possibility of forming a nest in the layer, and the high-frequency coaxial cable 10 with a small attenuation and VSWR is obtained.
[0032]
Moreover, the effect that tan (delta) can be made small is acquired by using a high density polyethylene among the synthesize | combined by the ion polymerization method. By using the low density polyethylene synthesized by the radical polymerization method, an effect that the melt tension can be increased is obtained. In particular, by using these in combination, it is possible to achieve an effect that a balance of both tan δ and high melt tension can be achieved at a high level.
[0033]
Here, when the density of the medium and high density polyethylene is 0.930 g / cm 3 or less, tan δ becomes larger than a predetermined value, and when the density exceeds 0.965 g / cm 3 , the extensional viscosity becomes small. This is because nests are easily generated when the foamed insulating layer 12 is covered.
[0034]
When the density of the low density polyethylene is less than 0.925 g / cm 3 , tan δ becomes larger than a predetermined value, and when the density exceeds 0.930 g / cm 3 , the melt tension becomes small, and foam insulation This is because nests are likely to occur when the layer 12 is covered. Further, the mixing ratio of the low density polyethylene to 55 to 95 parts by weight of the medium and high density polyethylenes is set to 5 to 45 parts by weight. If it is less than 5 parts by weight, the effect of improving the melt tension cannot be sufficiently obtained. This is because tan δ becomes larger than a predetermined value when the weight part is exceeded.
[0035]
Medium and high density polyethylene MFR 4-15g / 10min, low density polyethylene MFR 0.1-4g / 10min is less than 4g / 10min, less than 0.1g / 10min respectively This is because the heat generation of the foaming compound increases during the extrusion coating of the foamed insulating layer 12, and temperature unevenness occurs between the inner layer side and the outer layer side of the foamed insulating layer 12, resulting in the formation of nests. Moreover, if each exceeds 15 g / 10 minutes and 4 g / 10 minutes, sufficient melt tension cannot be obtained, and nests are likely to be generated when the foamed insulating layer 12 is covered.
[0036]
In order to stabilize the cable 10, it is necessary to make the bubble size of the foamed insulating layer 12 as small as possible. For this reason, as the foam nucleating agent, a chemical foaming nucleating agent having a large bubble refining effect, preferably ADCA, OBSH, or a mixture thereof is used. The smaller the amount of chemical foam nucleating agent added, the better the electrical properties of the foamed insulating layer 12. For this reason, when one kind of chemical foaming nucleating agent is mixed alone with respect to 100 parts by weight of each polyethylene mixture, 0.001 to 0.015 part by weight, or two kinds of chemical foaming nucleating agents are used in combination. when mixing is mixed at a ratio of total 0.001 to 0.015 parts by weight.
[0037]

Tables 1 and 2 show the specifications of the resin compositions of Samples 1 to 15 and Samples 21 to 29, and the evaluation results of the characteristics (attenuation amount, VSWR, presence of nest) of the high-frequency coaxial cable using each resin composition. Show.
[0050]
Here, the MFR (melt flow rate) of the resin composition is a value measured in accordance with JIS K7210 at an extrusion pressure of 190 ° C. and 21.18 N.
[0051]
The attenuation of each cable and the measurement of VSWR were performed using a scalar network analyzer 8757D manufactured by Agilent. The attenuation was evaluated based on the attenuation at 2.2 GHz of an annular type cable having a diameter of 20 mm, and 6.5 dB / 100 m or less was accepted. A VSWR of 1.10 or less was accepted.
[0052]
[Table 1]
Figure 0004123087
[0053]
[Table 2]
Figure 0004123087
[0054]
As shown in Table 1, the high-frequency coaxial cables using the resin compositions of Samples 1 to 15 had an attenuation of 6.0 to 6.4 dB / 100 m, and all passed. In addition, each high-frequency coaxial cable had a VSWR of 1.07 to 1.10. In each of the high-frequency coaxial cables, no nest was generated in the foamed insulating layer.
[0055]
On the other hand, in the resin composition of sample 21, the density of the medium and high density polyethylene is smaller than the specified range, and the MFR is small. For this reason, tan δ of the resin composition was increased, and the attenuation amount was increased to 6.8 dB / 100 m, which was unacceptable. In addition, nests were generated in the foamed insulating layer.
[0056]
The resin composition of Sample 22 was unsuccessful because the density of the low density polyethylene was smaller than the specified range, and tan δ was increased. As a result, the attenuation of the cable was increased to 6.7 dB / 100 m.
[0057]
In the resin composition of Sample 23, the density of the low-density polyethylene was larger than the specified range, so the melt tension became small, and a nest was generated in the foamed insulating layer of the cable. As a result, VSWR was increased to 1.30, and VSWR was rejected. Moreover, the attenuation was as large as 6.7 dB / 100 m, which was not acceptable.
[0058]
In the resin composition of sample 24, since the MFR of low density polyethylene was larger than the specified range, sufficient melt tension could not be obtained, and a nest was generated in the foamed insulating layer of the cable. As a result, VSWR was increased to 1.30, and VSWR was rejected. Moreover, the attenuation was as large as 6.7 dB / 100 m, which was not acceptable.
[0059]
In the resin composition of Sample 25, since the mixing ratio of the high density polyethylene is less than the specified range, tan δ increases, and as a result, the attenuation of the cable increases to 6.9 dB / 100 m and fails. there were.
[0060]
Since the resin composition of Sample 26 was not mixed with low-density polyethylene, the melt tension was small, the foamed insulating layer could not be formed, and cable production was impossible.
[0061]
The resin compositions of Samples 27 to 29 were rejected because the mixing ratio of the foam nucleating agent was larger than the specified range, and the attenuation amount was increased to 6.6, 6.7, and 6.8 dB / 100 m, respectively. .
[0062]
As described above, by using the resin compositions of Examples 1 to 15 and forming a foamed insulating layer on the outer periphery of the inner conductor to produce a high-frequency coaxial cable, there is no generation of nests and the attenuation is 6. It was possible to obtain a high-frequency coaxial cable with good electrical characteristics such as 5 dB / 100 m or less and VSWR of 1.10 or less.
[0063]
【The invention's effect】
In short, according to the present invention, an excellent effect is obtained that a resin composition having good electrical characteristics and good foamability can be obtained.
