Problems solved by technology

The first method is because neutron absorbers such as boron compounds are protected by skin polymers and are not easy to fall off, but the spinning equipment and process are complicated, the investment is large, and the boron content is not high enough.
In the second and third methods, since the neutron absorber and the fiber are non-chemically bonded and are on the surface of the fiber, it is easy to fall off due to washing and friction, and the durability and fastness are poor.
Although materials containing inorganic boron carbide blends have neutron shielding capabilities, due to problems such as poor dispersion compatibility of boron carbide in polymers, it is easy to cause degradation of polymer mechanical properties
Moreover, with the increase of the service life of the material, boron carbide is prone to fall off, resulting in a decrease in the neutron shielding performance of the material

[0055] The synthetic route of 5-(o-carborane-1'-methyleneoxy) dimethyl isophthalate (BDMI) is as follows:

[0056]

[0057] In a three-neck flask, add 0.22mol of 5-hydroxyisophthalic acid, 300ml of methanol and 12ml of concentrated sulfuric acid in sequence, and react under reflux in an oil bath at 70°C, monitored by TLC, and cool naturally to room temperature after the reaction. The reaction solution was slowly added to distilled water, and a large amount of white precipitates precipitated out. They were suction filtered and vacuum-dried to obtain a white powder with a yield of 96.8%. The product was methyl 5-hydroxyisophthalate with a melting point of 169°C.

Abstract

The invention provides neutron radiation protection fiber. The fiber is formed by stretching boron-containing polyester of the structure (please see the structure in the description), wherein n ranges from 1 to 200, and m ranges from 1 to 200. By means of the organic hybridization method, a carborane cage-type structure containing a plurality of boron atoms is introduced into a polyester PBT side chain structure in the form of chemical bonds, carborane-containing polyester is synthesized and woven into fiber, the defects that when inorganic substance boron carbide and polymer are physically mixed, compatibility is poor and dispersion is not uniform can be overcome, and therefore the neutron shielding performance and mechanical performance of the material are improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of materials, and in particular relates to a neutron radiation-resistant polymer material and a synthesis method thereof. Background technique [0002] Neutrons have strong penetrating power, and the damage to the human body is far greater than that of the same dose of X and γ-rays, which seriously damage the human stomach and male glands, and induce tumor formation. Neutron radiation protection fiber is an ideal choice for a lightweight neutron radiation shielding material. Neutron radiation protection fiber refers to a special synthetic fiber with outstanding radiation resistance to neutron flow, and it can still maintain good mechanical and electrical properties under high-energy radiation. Anti-neutron radiation fibers can be used to prepare anti-neutron clothing for personal protection. Although neutrons have no charge, they have strong penetrating power. They can travel farther in air and other substances, and...
