Description

Technical Field

Background Art

[0002] Continuous fiber reinforced resin matrix composites, namely fiberglass, have been widely used in the field of shipbuilding. Especially glass fiber reinforced epoxy-based thermosetting composites have the advantages of light weight, high strength, corrosion resistance, etc., can reduce the overall weight of the ship by 20-30%, have obvious lightweight effects, and prevent water from corroding metals. Currently, there are more than 2 million fiberglass ships in the world. For military use, there are mine-hunting boats, mine-sweeping boats, landing boats, traffic boats, etc.; for civilian use, there are high-speed passenger boats, fishing boats, yachts, lifeboats, workboats, and racing boats, etc. Most fiberglass ships are formed by vacuum-assisted infusion of fiber laminates with thermosetting liquid resin and curing. The solid waste of the corner scraps, scrapped and retired products generated during the processing reaches tens of thousands of tons per year, and the resin and fiber in them cannot be recycled, becoming an environmental protection bottleneck problem in China and even the world.

[0003] Replacing thermosetting composites with thermoplastic composites is an inevitable trend in the development of the field of continuous fiber reinforced composites. PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate) is a polymer material with excellent transparency, and has excellent weather resistance, ultraviolet resistance and impact resistance. Combining PMMA with continuous fibers can significantly improve the comprehensive performance of the composite material, and PMMA as a thermoplastic resin can be used for recycling, especially suitable for the manufacture of ships.

Spray multi-functional strong glue between each layer of fiber cloths, and lay PMMA sandwich panels of a certain size at the load-bearing parts of the inflatable boat (such as the cabin seat board and the bow). Then lay small-area fiber cloths in the cabin area.

[0078] 3) After the continuous fiber layup is completed, lay the auxiliary materials for vacuum infusion. Lay the release cloth, flow net, and vacuum film in sequence and seal them with sealing tape. Unfold the vacuum film in the cavity of the hull mold that needs to be infused and fit it to the inner wall of the cavity.

Then lay small-area fiber cloths in the cabin area.

[0086] 3) After the continuous fiber layup is completed, lay the auxiliary materials for vacuum infusion. Lay the release cloth, flow guide net, and vacuum film in sequence and seal them with sealing tape. Unfold the vacuum film in the cavity of the hull mold that needs to be infused and fit it to the inner wall of the cavity. Then perform a pre-tightening treatment on the vacuum film so that the pressure in the vacuum film is -0.9 bar. Finally, connect the hull vacuum film to the injection pipeline.

[0097] As can be seen from the above embodiments, the present invention provides a PMMA liquid resin with flame retardant function and a preparation method of a ship based on a continuous fiber composite material of PMMA liquid resin. If high-temperature melting process is used for the infiltration and composite of PMMA and continuous fibers, the process is energy-consuming and not conducive to the preparation of large composite products such as ships. The PMMA liquid resin is a liquid resin with flame retardant function and certain viscosity, which is composed of polymethyl methacrylate, methyl methacrylate, and other acrylic high flash point substances (such as tert-butyl methacrylate, isobutyl methacrylate, isooctyl methacrylate), and a flame retardant. It is polymerized at high temperature (60-80 °C) by adding peroxide initiator, or by a redox initiator composed of peroxide and amine compounds, or polymerized at room temperature by borane initiator. In addition to heating injection molding extrusion recycling, new recycling methods for PMMA composites have also been developed, such as solvent dissolution method (Polymer Composites, 2025, 46, 3030-3041; A recycling method for PMMA thermoplastic resin / fiber reinforced composite material, application number 202410625070X). The whole ship of the present invention is entirely made of acrylic resin. By using the recycling method with MMA as the solvent, the complete separation of PMMA and fibers can be achieved, without solid waste throughout the process, realizing closed-loop resource recycling, which has great significance for energy conservation and environmental protection.

[0098] The ship preparation method of the present invention can effectively improve the lightweight, corrosion resistance, transparency and impact resistance of the ship, solve the problem that the thermosetting resin fiberglass ship is not recyclable, and at the same time reduce the manufacturing cost and maintenance difficulty.

[0099] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the principle of the present invention, several improvements and retouches can be made, and these improvements and retouches should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
