Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Verfahren
zur Herstellung eines neuen zusammengesetzten Gegenstandes
aus verstrecktem Polytetrafluoräthylen.
Polytetrafluoräthylen (hiernach "PTFE" genannt) weist
eine ausgezeichnete Wärmebeständigkeit, chemische Wider
standsfähigkeit, Isolationswiderstandsfähigkeit, Nicht-
Haftfähigkeit und Selbstschmierung auf. Dieses Polymer hat
eine breite Verwendung in medizinischen, industriellen und
Freizeitbereichen gefunden.
Eine neuere Erfindung (US-PS 39 53 566) hat ein Verfahren der eingangs
genannten Art zur Herstellung von hochporösen und doch sehr zugfesten ge
formten PTFE-Gegenstände, geschaffen. Dieses Verfahren be
inhaltet ein Vermischen von hochkristallinem feinpulvrigen
PTFE mit einem flüssigen Gleitmittel, ein Extrudieren
dieser Mischung durch ein Werkzeug mit einer gewünschten
Querschnittsform und ein nachfolgendes Verstrecken des
geformten Gegenstandes in einer oder mehreren Richtungen
mit einer Verstreckungsgeschwindigkeit von mehr als
10% pro Sekunde.
Die mit diesem Verfahren hergestellten Produkte haben
eine weit gestreute Aufnahme in industriellen, medizini
schen, elektrischen und Kleidungsbereichen gefunden. Das
Verfahren ist jedoch insoweit beschränkt, daß es nicht
leicht an die Herstellung von großen Gegenständen mit
komplexen Querschnitten anpaßbar ist. Ein Bedürfnis für
solche Artikel findet man z. B. im industriellen Fil
trationsbereich und in der Großgefäßchirurgie. Obwohl
große zusammengesetzte Gegenstände dadurch hergestellt
werden können, daß kleinere Gegenstände durch konventio
nelle Methoden wie Nähen, Schweißen oder Kleben miteinan
der verbunden werden, weisen solche Gegenstände eine
Diskontinuität an der Verbindungsstelle auf. Während dies
bei vielen Anwendungen keine besonderen Probleme verur
sacht, ist es in anderen Bereichen wie z. B. der Filtration
und des Körperteilaustausches äußerst wichtig, daß der
Aufbau über den gesamten Gegenstand so einheitlich wie
möglich ist. Wenn große Gegenstände durch Schweißen oder
Kleben hergestellt werden, entsteht ein dichter nicht
poröser Bereich. Auf der anderen Seite kann das Zusammen
nähen Bereiche mit einer größeren Porösität als der Rest
des Gegenstands erzeugen. Man hat festgestellt, daß die
Mikrostruktur aus Knoten und Fibrillen, welche in Pro
dukten vorhanden ist, die gemäß der US-PS 39 53 566 her
gestellt sind, besonders wünschenswert als Filtermedium
und als Oberfläche zur Berührung mit Blut oder anderen
Körperflüssigkeiten ist.
Aus der US-PS 39 53 566 ist auch ein Verfahren zum Verbinden
von mikroporösem PTFE zur Herstellung eines neuen zu
sammengesetzten Gegenstands bekannt, bei dem das Ver
binden mittels eines Bindemittels erfolgt. Dabei wird
die mikroporöse Struktur teilweise zerstört bzw. ver
stopft. Hinsichtlich der Erwärmung auf eine Temperatur
oberhalb des kristallinen Schmelzpunktes ist dort ange
geben, daß sich bei dieser Temperatur, also oberhalb
345°C, "die Mikrostruktur des expandierten Produkts sich
im wesentlichen nicht ändert", und daß bei einer Tempe
ratur über 390°C die Struktur desintegriert wird.
Mit anderen Worten, da sich die Struktur eines derartigen
Materials bei einer Temperatur zwischen dem Schmelzpunkt
und 390°C nach der US-PS 39 53 566 nicht ändert, ist
auch nicht zu erwarten, daß sich die Struktur an der
Nahtstelle zwei aneinandergefügter Abschnitte in der
Weise ändert, daß eine feste Verbindung zustandegebracht
wird. Demgegenüber ist bei einer Temperatur oberhalb
390°C zwar ein Verschmelzen zweier Abschnitte miteinander
zu erwarten, da die Struktur an der Nahtstelle aber
desintegriert und verschmilzt, jedoch eine Nahtstelle
ohne Mikroporosität.
Aus der US-PS 40 61 517 ist es bekannt, Abschnitte aus
massivem, also nicht mikroporösem PTFE durch Stumpf
schweißen zu verbinden. Dabei wird der geschmolzene
Kunststoff unter Aufrechterhaltung der Breite und Dicke
des Materials im geschmolzenen Zustand verschweißt.
Dadurch wird eine durch und durch homogene Naht hervor
gebracht, die völlig frei von Porositäten ist.
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, ein Verfahren der eingangs
genannten Art so weiterzubilden, daß beim Verbinden von
mikroporösem PTFE die ursprüngliche Mikrostruktur aus
Knoten und Fibrillen möglichst ungeändert erhalten
bleibt.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die im Kennzei
chen des Anspruchs beschriebenen Merkmale gelöst.
Ein erfindungsgemäßer Gegenstand wird durch
Verbindung von Abschnitten von kleiner geformten Gegen
ständen hergestellt. Diese kleineren Abschnitte werden
eng zusammengehalten und ihre Temperatur wird auf eine
Temperatur oberhalb des kristallinen Schmelzpunkts der
Abschnitte angehoben.
Sie werden dann auf Raumtemperatur abgekühlt, um eine Hand
habung des Gegenstandes zu erleichtern. Darüber hinaus
wird gemäß der Erfindung ein zusammengesetzter geformter
PTFE-Gegenstand durch dieses Verfahren hergestellt mit
einer praktisch ununterbrochenen Mikrostruktur aus Knoten,
welche durch Fibrillen verbunden sind, an der Verbindungs
stelle.
Es folgt die
Beschreibung eines Ausführungsbeispieles der Erfindung in Verbindung
mit der Zeichnung. Darin zeigt
Fig. 1 eine schematische Darstellung einer Ausführungs
form,
Fig. 2 bis 4b elektronenmikroskopische Aufnahmen verschiedener
Oberflächen eines
hergestellten Rohres.
Im vorliegenden
Zusammenhang wird der Begriff "Ränder" verwendet, um den
Teil des verstreckten PTFE-Gegenstandes zu bezeichnen,
welcher verbunden werden soll. Der Begriff "Naht- bzw.
Verbindungsstelle" bezieht sich auf den zu verbindenden
Bereich. Die Gegenstände können irgendeinen geformten
Querschnitt wie z. B. Rohr, Stab, Folie, Streifen oder Ab
schnitt aufweisen.
PTFE-Material ist in einer Vielzahl von Formen einschließ
lich Folien, Stäben und Rohren
beziehbar. Die zu verbindenden Gegenstände werden auf
die gewünschte Größe geschnitten. Es ist sorgfältig darauf
zu achten, daß die zu verbindenden Ränder glatt sind, d. h.
weder ausgefranzt noch schmutzig sind. Die beiden Ränder
werden dann nahe zueinander angeordnet, d. h. miteinander
in Berührung gebracht.
Wie in Fig. 1 illustriert ist, kann z. B. ein großes Rohr
aus Streifen oder Teilen einer Anzahl von kleineren Rohren
hergestellt werden. Die Streifen 4 werden an ihren Rändern
6 a und 6 b beschnitten, um sicherzustellen, daß diese Ränder
glatt sind, d. h. nicht ausgefranzt oder schmutzig sind. Die
Streifen 4 werden dann um einen Dorn 2 gelegt. Die Ränder
6 a und 6 b eines jeden Streifens 4 werden eng mit den Rändern
6 a und 6 b des benachbarten Streifens aneinander gefügt.
Die Enden A und B der Streifen werden an diesen Punkten
an dem Dorn befestigt. Dies kann auf viele Arten geschehen,
z. B. durch Spannbänder oder Festbinden der Streifen am
Dorn mittels eines Drahtes. Der Grund für diese Befestigung
des Rohres besteht darin, ein longitudinales Zurückziehen
des PTFE beim Erhitzen zu verhindern.
Ein Streifen aus gestreckter PTFE-Folie mit einer Breite
von ungefähr 1,9 cm und einer longitudinalen Matrix-Zug
festigkeit von ungefähr 4920 kp/cm2 wird spiralförmig um
die auf dem Dorn angeordneten Streifen gewickelt und am
Ende des Dorns befestigt, so daß er sich nicht aufwickeln
kann. Beim Erhitzen schrumpft diese festhaltende Folie,
wodurch auf die Streifen Druck ausgeübt wird und die Kanten
6 a und 6 b in enger Berührung gehalten werden.
Obwohl das Umwickeln
mit einer gestreckten PTFE-Folie eine bevorzugte Ausführungs
form des mechanischen Festhaltens und des in Berührung Haltens
der Ränder der Streifen während des Erhitzens darstellt,
können auch andere Einrichtungen verwendet werden.
Der wesentliche Faktor besteht darin, daß eine Kraft senk
recht zur Nahtstelle während des Sintervorgangs vorhanden
sein muß. Wenn sich die um das Rohr gewickelte Folie ein
zieht, liefert sie die erforderliche Kraft.
Das Erhitzen des umhüllten Rohres kann in einem Salzbad,
einem Luftofen, einem Strahlungsofen oder einer anderen
Heizeinrichtung durchgeführt werden. Ein geeignetes Salz
bad kann eine geschmolzene Mischung aus Natriumnitriten
und Natriumnitraten aufweisen und bei einer Temperatur ober
halb des kristallinen Schmelzpunkts der Abschnitte ge
halten werden. Das Rohr wird dann entfernt und abgekühlt,
während es noch festgehalten wird. Die Zeit oberhalb des
kristallinen Schmelzpunktes variiert in Abhängigkeit von
der Materialmasse und den Kunststoffeigenschaften. Die
genaue Zeit zur Herstellung einer optimalen Verbindung
wird von einer Anzahl von Faktoren wie z. B. der Material
masse und der herzustellenden Formgestaltung abhängen.
Diese Zeit kann jedoch leicht mit einem Minimum an
Experimenten bestimmt werden.
Drei 6,5 cm lange, 120° Abschnitte wurden aus Rohren mit
einem Innendurchmesser von 20 mm herausgeschnitten, welche
entsprechend der Lehre der US-PS 39 53 566 hergestellt
worden sind. Als Kunststoff wurde ein
feinpulvriger PTFE-Kunststoff verwendet.
Diese Abschnitte wurden sorg
fältig beschnitten, um zu gewährleisten, daß die aneinander
zufügenden Ränder glatt waren. Die Abschnitte wurden dann
sorgfältig um ein glattes rostfreies Stahlrohr mit einem
Außendurchmesser von 20 mm gelegt. Die Abschnitte wurden
so angeordnet, daß sie nahe aneinandergefügt waren. Sie
wurden dann spiralförmig mit einer 1,9 cm breiten ver
streckten PTFE-Folie mit einer Matrix-Zugfestigkeit von
ungefähr 4920 kg/cm2 umwickelt, welche gemäß der US-PS
39 62 153 hergestellt worden war.
Der Dorn wurde dann in einen Luftofen bei einer Temperatur
von 380°C für 12 Minuten plaziert. Nach Entfernung aus
dem Luftofen wurde der Dorn auf Raumtemperatur abgekühlt
und das geformte PTFE-Rohr sorgfältig vom Dorn abgeschoben.
Zum Zwecke dieses Experimentes wurde die Umhüllungsfolie
sorgfältig vom Rohr entfernt, um Mikroaufnahmen von der
Struktur an der Verbindungsstelle zu machen.
Fig. 2 ist eine winklige Elektronenmikroskopaufnahme einer
der Nahtstellen, welche entsprechend dem Beispiel I herge
stellt sind. Der obere Teil 10 ist eine topographische An
sicht der Innenoberfläche des Rohres. Der untere Teil 12
ist eine Querschnittsansicht des Rohres. Es handelt sich
um eine 146fache Vergrößerung.
In Fig. 3a ist eine elektronenmikroskopische Aufnahme der
Innenoberfläche des gemäß Beispiel I hergestellten Rohres
dargestellt. Die Nahtstelle verläuft von X nach Y. Es
handelt sich um eine 122fache Vergrößerung. In Fig. 3b
ist eine elektronenmikroskopische Aufnahme des in Fig. 3a
eingekreisten Bereiches dargestellt. Die Nahtstelle ver
läuft von X nach Y und die Vergrößerung ist eine 610fache.
In Fig. 4a ist eine elektronenmikroskopische Aufnahme der
Außenoberfläche des nach Beispiel I hergestellten Rohres
nach Entfernung der Folie dargestellt. Die Nahtstelle ver
läuft von X nach Y und es handelt sich um eine 90fache
Vergrößerung. In Fig. 4b ist eine elektronenmikroskopische
Aufnahme des in Fig. 4a eingezeichneten Bereiches darge
stellt. Die Nahtstelle verläuft X nach Y und es handelt
sich um eine 450fache Vergrößerung.
Aus diesen elektronenmikroskopischen Aufnahmen geht
hervor, daß die Knoten-Fibrillen-Mikro
struktur quer durch die Nahtstelle praktisch nicht unter
brochen ist. Obwohl ein Beispiel mit kleinen Abmessungen
verwendet worden ist,
kann die Technik leicht dahingehend ausgedehnt werden, um
gorße Rohre bis zu einem Durchmesser von einigen Zoll bzw.
Zentimetern abzudecken. Gleichzeitig kann die Technik für
eine Vielzahl von Formen verwendet werden, wobei sie keines
wegs auf rohrförmige Querschnitte beschränkt ist. So können
z. B. Streifen von einachsig verstrecktem PTFE mit einer
Dicke im Bereich von ungefähr 0,127 bis mehr als 2,54 mm
in der nachfolgenden Weise miteinander verbunden werden.
Festhalten der PTFE-Streifen in der Richtung ihrer Ver
streckung, Aneinanderfügen der Streifen zwischen 1,59 mm
dicken Folien bzw. Streifen aus Silikon-Kautschuk mit
einer Durometer-Elastizität von 60 (2 Kautschuk-Streifen
auf jeder Seite des PTFE, die nicht ganz aneinanderge
fügt sind mit einem Spalt von ungefähr 0,254 mm zwischen
sich, der der Nahtstelle in den PTFE-Streifen entspricht)
und Anordnen der PTFE- und Kautschuk-Streifen in einer
Presse mit auf ungefähr 380°C erhitzten Platten. Die
Presse kann geschlossen werden, um einen sehr kleinen Druck
auf die auf dem Kautschuk sitzenden Streifen auszuüben.
Dies sorgt für die notwendige rechtwinklig zur Nahtstelle
verlaufende Kraft, dieses Mal in einer ebenen Konfiguration.
Nach einer angemessenen Zeit, ungefähr 15 Minuten, können
die elektrischen Heizeinrichtungen an der Presse abge
schaltet und die Platten durch einen Druckluftstrom abge
kühlt werden. Wenn sich die Platten auf Raumtemperatur ab
gekühlt haben, kann der Druck aufgehoben werden und können
die Streifen entfernt werden.
