極高的多功能性和熱性能帶來了無限的潛力
從航天任務相機中的電路到下一代光伏電池,Kapton®聚酰亞胺薄膜正在推動非凡的新設計可能性真正實現(xiàn)。
對于 熱量和振動的應用,設計師依賴Kapton®,因為它能夠在最惡劣的條件下保持獨特的機械性能組合。

Kapton is a polyimide film used in flexible printed circuits (flexible electronics) and space blankets, which are used on spacecraft, satellites, and various space instruments. Invented by the DuPont Corporation in the 1960s, Kapton remains stable across a wide range of temperatures, from 4 to 673 K (?269 to +400 °C). Kapton is used in electronics manufacturing and space applications, with x-ray equipment, and in 3D printing applications. Its favorable thermal properties and outgassing characteristics result in its regular use in cryogenic applications and in high vacuum environments.
History
Kapton was invented by DuPont in the 1960s. As of November 2025, Kapton is manufactured by Qnity Electronics, a spinoff of DuPont.
The name Kapton is a registered trademark of E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company.
Chemistry and variants
Kapton synthesis is an example of the use of a dianhydride in step polymerization. The intermediate polymer, known as a poly(amic acid), is soluble because of strong hydrogen bonds to the polar solvents usually employed in the reaction. The ring closure is carried out at high temperatures of 470–570 K (200–300 °C).
The chemical name for Kapton K and HN is poly (4,4'-oxydiphenylene-pyromellitimide). It is produced from the condensation of pyromellitic dianhydride (PMDA) and 4,4'-oxydiphenylamine (ODA).
Kapton E is a mix of two dianhydrides, PMDA and biphenyltetracarboxylic acid dianhydride (BPDA), and two diamines, ODA and p-phenylenediamine (PPD). The BPDA component adds greater dimensional stability and flatness in flexible circuitry applications. Kapton E offers reduced coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE), reduced moisture absorption, and reduced coefficient of hygroscopic expansion (CHE) compared to Kapton H.
Characteristics
In isolation, Kapton remains stable across a wide range of temperatures, from 4 to 673 K (?269 to +400 °C).[5][6]
The thermal conductivity of Kapton at temperatures from 0.5 to 5 Kelvin is rather high for such low temperatures, κ = 4.638×10?3 T0.5678 W·m?1·K?1.
Kapton insulation ages poorly: an FAA study shows degradation in hot, humid environments[8] or in the presence of seawater. It was found to have very poor resistance to mechanical wear, mainly abrasion within cable harnesses due to aircraft movement. Many aircraft models have had to undergo extensive rewiring modifications—sometimes completely replacing all the Kapton-insulated wiring—because of short circuits caused by the faulty insulation. Kapton-wire degradation and chafing due to vibration and heat has been implicated in multiple crashes of both fixed wing and rotary wing aircraft, with loss of life. The New York Times, citing a NASA OIG document, reported in 2005 that Kapton-insulated cables on the Space Shuttle "tended to break down over time, causing short circuits and, potentially, fires." The STS-93 mission saw electrical shorts on Kapton insulation disable two engine controllers and nearly cause catastrophe.

Due to its large range of temperature stability and its electrical isolation ability, Kapton tape is usually used in electronic manufacturing as an insulation and protection layer on electrostatic-sensitive and fragile components. As it can sustain the temperature needed for a reflow soldering operation, its protection is available throughout the whole production process, and Kapton is often still present in the final consumer product.
Spacecraft
Aluminized Kapton thermal cover was used on the Ultra Heavy Cosmic Ray Experiment.
The descent stage of the Apollo Lunar Module, and the bottom of the ascent stage surrounding the ascent engine, were covered in blankets of aluminized Kapton foil to provide thermal insulation. During the return journey from the Moon, Apollo 11 astronaut Neil Armstrong commented that during the launch of the Lunar Module Eagle ascent stage, he could see "Kapton and other parts of the LM staging scattering all around the area for great distances."

The NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory has considered Kapton as a good plastic support for solar sails because of its durability in the space environment.
NASA's New Horizons spacecraft used Kapton in an innovative "Thermos bottle" insulation design to keep the craft operating between 283 and 303 K (10 and 30 °C) throughout its more than nine-year, 5-terametre (33-astronomical-unit) journey to rendezvous with the dwarf planet Pluto on 14 July 2015. The main body is covered in lightweight, gold-colored, multilayered thermal insulation which holds in heat from operating electronics to keep the spacecraft warm. The thermal blanketing of 18 layers of Dacron mesh cloth sandwiched between aluminized Mylar and Kapton film also helped to protect the craft from micrometeorites.
The James Webb Space Telescope sunshield is made of five Kapton E sheets coated with aluminum and doped silicon to reflect heat away from the spacecraft body.
The crew aboard the International Space Station used Kapton tape to temporarily repair a slow leak in a Soyuz spacecraft attached to the Russian segment of the orbital complex in August 2018.[16] It was used again in October 2020 to temporarily seal a leak in the transfer chamber of the Zvezda Service Module of the ISS.
X-rays
Kapton is also commonly used as a material for windows used with all kinds of X-ray sources (synchrotron beam-lines and X-ray tubes) and X-ray detectors. Its high mechanical and thermal stability as well as high transmittance of X-rays make it the preferred material. It is also relatively insensitive to radiation damage.
3D printing
Kapton and ABS adhere to each other very well, which has led to widespread use of Kapton as a build surface for 3D printers. Kapton is laid down on a flat surface and the ABS is extruded onto the Kapton surface. The ABS part being printed will not detach from the build platform as it cools and shrinks, a common cause of print failure by warping of the part.A more durable alternative is to use a polyetherimide surface.
Researchers have devised a method to 3D-print polyimide material including Kapton. The polyamic acid precursor to Kapton is mixed with an acrylate cross linker and photoinitiator that can form a gel when exposed to ultraviolet light during 3D printing. Subsequent heating of the 3D printed part up to 400 °C removes the sacrificial crosslinks and imidizes the part forming Kapton with a 5D printed geometry.
Others
Kapton's relatively high thermal conductivity at very low temperatures, together with its good dielectric qualities and its availability as thin sheets, have made it a favorite material in cryogenics, as it provides electrical insulation at low thermal gradients.
Kapton is regularly used as an insulator in ultra-high-vacuum environments due to its low outgassing rate.
Kapton-insulated electrical wiring has been widely used in civil and military aircraft because it is lighter than other insulators and has good insulating and temperature characteristics.

使用杜邦™ Kapton® 進行成型
4. 薄膜推進
由于薄膜推進技術在整個行業(yè)中已廣泛應用，杜邦公司并未將此步驟納入其測試程序。
需要注意的是：在初始成型步驟中，薄膜應保持最小張力。張力過大會導致壓墊將薄膜拉得太緊，從而造成撕裂。
5. 壓力機要求
在選擇成型壓力機時，需要考慮幾個關鍵因素。閉合和打開速度均應可在 0.5 至 10 秒范圍內(nèi)調(diào)節(jié)。建議使用可調(diào)節(jié)的下止擋，以減少模具磨損。
要確定合適的壓力機尺寸，首先要確定所需的運行速度和每個循環(huán)中要成型的零件數(shù)量。
如果工藝要求一次只成型一個零件，則壓力機只需足夠大，能夠壓縮壓墊（通常為 300 至 400 psi）。成型多個零件時，應先進行測試以確定系統(tǒng)的 尺寸。請注意，薄膜本身并非決定壓力要求的關鍵因素。在 725°F (385°C) 的溫度下，即使在低壓下，Kapton® 也能很好地成型。壓機的主要功能是在模具閉合前將薄膜固定到位。
Kapton® 的標準成型方法是將陽模連接到壓機的沖頭上，陰模連接到壓機的底部。這種方法適用于大多數(shù)應用，但如果零件是深拉延件，則可能需要進行修改。深度為 0.500 英寸和/或側壁角度為 90 度的零件可能更適合使用雙動壓機（包含頂部和底部沖頭）進行成型。
