Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of composite materials, and in particular relates to a carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastic resin-based composite material and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art
[0002] The development of space launch vehicle tank materials has primarily progressed through aluminum-magnesium alloys, aluminum-copper alloys, and aluminum-lithium alloys, ultimately evolving towards carbon fiber composites. Carbon fiber composites offer significantly higher specific strength and stiffness than metals, and possess excellent fatigue and vibration resistance, as well as excellent molding processability. They are particularly well-suited for large and monolithic structures, reducing the number of parts and joining steps, making them ideal for achieving high-performance and lightweight structures in advanced aerospace equipment. Compared to metal tanks, carbon fiber composites can reduce the weight of liquid oxygen tank structures by approximately 25%. The weight reduction increases with the size of cryogenic medium tanks, further reducing overall launch costs. Therefore, the development of carbon fiber composite tanks has become an inevitable trend.
[0003] Due to the significant difference in thermal expansion coefficient between carbon fiber and the resin matrix, carbon fiber composites experience significant temperature differences when cooled from molding temperature to room temperature, or when used in cryogenic storage tanks such as liquid oxygen (-183°C) and liquid hydrogen (-252°C). This thermal expansion mismatch causes mismatched deformation between the carbon fiber and epoxy resin, leading to high residual stresses in the carbon fiber composite during cryogenic cooling. Coupled with internal mechanical stresses, these stresses can easily cause microcracks in the resin matrix and at the carbon fiber-resin interface. Under continuous or cyclic exposure to low temperatures and stress, these microcracks propagate until they form single-layer transverse cracks and interlaminar cracks, creating leakage paths and leading to tank leakage. Carbon fiber composites inherently offer excellent properties such as light weight and high strength, but when exposed to cryogenic media, leakage failure in carbon fiber composite cryogenic storage tanks can precede structural failure. Therefore, effectively suppressing leakage in carbon fiber composites exposed to cryogenic media is key to their application in cryogenic storage tanks.
[0004] To improve the low-temperature medium leakage resistance of carbon fiber composites, existing technologies generally introduce flexible polymers (such as thermoplastic resins, nano-rubbers, etc.) or dope nanomaterials (such as carbon nanotubes, graphene, silica, etc.) into the resin matrix to improve the toughness of the resin matrix, thereby improving the ability to resist crack propagation and reducing the risk of leakage. For example, articles such as Polymer Testing, 2019, 74: 45-56, Polymer, 2007, 48 (1): 302-10, and patent CN 113861619 A introduce flexible polymers into the resin matrix. The articles Composites Part A: Applied Science and Manufacturing, 2018, 108: 12-22, Composites Part A: Applied Science and Manufacturing, 2018, 108: 12-22, Composites science and technology, 2014, 104: 59-65, as well as patents CN103435975A and CN117887211A introduce nanomaterials into the resin matrix to improve the ability to resist crack propagation and reduce the risk of leakage.
[0005] However, the above methods cannot fundamentally solve the problem of residual stress causing microcracks. The introduction of flexible polymers will increase the thermal expansion coefficient of the epoxy resin matrix. When the ambient temperature of the carbon fiber reinforced resin-based composite material drops from room temperature to ultra-low temperature, the thermal expansion coefficient of the resin matrix is large, which causes the temperature stress of the resin / fiber interface to rise sharply, which in turn easily leads to the initiation of microcracks at the resin / fiber interface, and ultimately may reduce the low-temperature medium leakage resistance of the carbon fiber resin-based composite material. The addition of nanomaterials cannot guarantee the dispersibility of the nanomaterials in the resin matrix, and is prone to agglomeration, resulting in a decrease in the mechanical properties of the carbon fiber composite material. In addition, the surface of the nanomaterials may have no active functional groups, which will result in no covalent bonding between the nanomaterials and the resin matrix, thereby making the interface binding between the nanomaterials and the resin matrix weaker. Summary of the Invention
