The invention discloses a low-density high-strength
solid buoyancy material and a preparation method thereof, belongs to the field of
solid buoyancy materials for marine environments, and can be used for marine submersible buoys, marine drilling platforms, various deep submergence vehicles,
seabed space stations and the like. The low-density high-strength
solid buoyancy material comprises the following raw materials in parts by weight: 100 parts of
epoxy resin, 0-20 parts of a
toughening modification agent, 10-80 parts of a curing agent, 0.5-5 parts of a catalyst, 0.2-10 parts of a dispersion agent, 10-200 parts of micron hollow glass beads, 10-150 parts of
millimeter hollow glass beads and 0.2-5 parts of a
coupling agent. The preparation method comprises the following steps: adding the accurately weighed raw materials into a kneading
machine, heating to 80-100 DEG C, and stirring for 30 minutes at a uniform speed to obtain a mixture; taking out and putting the mixture into a mould, compacting, putting on a pressure curing
machine, pressing, heating and deflating, curing for a certain time, and shaping to prepare a buoyancy material standard module. The low-density high-strength solid buoyancy material is used for solving the problem of higher density of a solid buoyancy material and increasing the net buoyancy of the solid buoyancy material.
