Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of lightweight synthetic core materials based on bismaleimide resin with low coefficient of thermal expansion, and specifically relates to a method for preparing a lightweight synthetic core material film based on bismaleimide resin with low coefficient of thermal expansion. Background Technology

[0002] In the aerospace industry, high reliability, lightweight design, and high efficiency are continuously pursued goals. Employing lightweight materials, optimizing structural design, and combining advanced forming processes are effective ways to achieve these goals. To significantly reduce structural weight and improve cost-effectiveness, the application of lightweight composite sandwich structures is increasing. Common core material types include honeycomb structures, lattice structures, foam structures, and synthetic core films. Among these, synthetic core films possess excellent process adaptability and ease of handling before curing, with a thickness as low as 0.5 mm and support for flexible cutting; after curing, they transform into lightweight materials with good mechanical properties and isotropic characteristics. Furthermore, this material can be co-cured with prepregs without the need for additional adhesives, showing broad application prospects. Bismaleimide resin-based carbon fiber composites are widely used in the manufacture of lightweight, high-rigidity components for high-speed aircraft due to their excellent high-temperature resistance, damp-heat resistance, and mechanical strength. Correspondingly, bismaleimide resin-based lightweight synthetic core films exhibit excellent matching in terms of heat resistance and mechanical behavior, thus becoming a key core material for manufacturing such composite sandwich structures. However, in high-speed aircraft applications, aerodynamic heating causes a rapid rise in structural temperature, resulting in significant thermal expansion of the core material. This expansion not only causes dimensional instability and internal stress concentration in components but may also induce microcracks that are difficult to detect, ultimately affecting the service life of the structure and flight safety. Therefore, developing a lightweight synthetic core film with a low coefficient of thermal expansion for co-curing bismaleimide resin-based composite materials is of significant engineering importance for improving the structural reliability of high-speed aircraft.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A method for preparing a lightweight synthetic core film based on bismaleimide resin with a low coefficient of thermal expansion includes the following steps:

[0007] Step 1: Preparation of prepolymerized resin

[0008] The allyl compound was heated and stirred in a prepolymer reactor. After heating to 140-145°C, bismaleimide resin was added. The mixture was stirred until it became uniform and transparent. After stirring and reacting at 130-140°C for 30-40 minutes, it was cooled to obtain prepolymer resin A.

[0009] Step 2: Preparation of the Grinding Blend Resin

[0010] Epoxy resin, curing agent, toughening agent and surface-functionalized boron nitride nanotubes are mixed by stirring to form a coarse mixture. The coarse mixture is then ground and dispersed 3-5 times on a ceramic three-roll mill to obtain a ground blended resin B. The surface functional groups of the surface-functionalized boron nitride nanotubes are maleimide groups.

[0011] Step 3: Set the heating temperature of the vacuum kneader to 60~70℃ for preheating. Add the ground and blended resin B to the preheated vacuum kneader and knead for 5~15 minutes. Then add the prepolymerized resin A and continue kneading for 10~15 minutes. Add the zirconium tungstate-loaded hollow silica and knead for 15~25 minutes. During the kneading process, vacuum the air to obtain a lightweight synthetic core material adhesive film. The temperature of the adhesive is controlled at 80~100℃ and the vacuum degree is controlled at -0.095MPa~-0.090MPa.

[0012] Step 4: The adhesive is calendered into a film on a two-roll calender and then compounded with a carrier to obtain an uncured, low-thermal-expansion-coefficient bismaleimide resin-based lightweight synthetic core film.

[0025] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0026] This invention first designs and prepares low thermal expansion lightweight zirconium tungstate-supported hollow silica microspheres and maleimide-functionalized boron nitride nanotubes. By controlling the structure and ratio of bismaleimide resin, the structure and ratio of allyl compound, the structure and composition of zirconium tungstate-supported hollow silica microspheres and maleimide-functionalized boron nitride nanotubes, the structure and ratio of epoxy resin and curing agent, and the structure and ratio of toughening agent, a low thermal expansion coefficient bismaleimide resin-based lightweight synthetic core film is obtained. This invention introduces low-thermal-expansion lightweight zirconium tungstate-supported hollow silica microspheres into the resin system for designing lightweight synthetic core films. The thermal expansion characteristics of zirconium tungstate reduce the coefficient of thermal expansion of the synthetic core material, while the lightweight zirconium tungstate-supported hollow silica microspheres reduce the density of the synthetic core film. In the filler system, maleimide-functionalized boron nitride nanotubes are introduced. Firstly, the high thermal conductivity of boron nitride nanotubes improves the thermal conductivity of the lightweight core material, preventing deformation caused by heat concentration. Secondly, their low thermal expansion characteristics further reduce the coefficient of thermal expansion of the lightweight core material. Introducing ether-bonded bismaleimides into the bismaleimide resin system improves the intrinsic toughness of the resin matrix, facilitating thermal stress dissipation. Introducing aliphatic bismaleimides reduces the melt viscosity of the resin matrix, which is beneficial for the addition and dispersion of lightweight fillers. The synergistic in-situ toughening effect of the micronized toughening agent further enhances the toughness and crack propagation resistance of the synthetic core film. The combination of the above design concepts endows the bismaleimide resin-based lightweight synthetic core film of this invention with lightweight properties and a low coefficient of thermal expansion. Furthermore, based on the aforementioned synergistic effect, the prepared bismaleimide resin-based lightweight synthetic core film possesses excellent adhesion, heat resistance, and mechanical properties. The unit area mass of this lightweight synthetic core film is reduced by more than 20% compared to existing materials. The coefficient of thermal expansion of the cured lightweight synthetic core material before the glass transition temperature is ≤20 ppm / ℃, the room temperature compressive strength of the cured lightweight synthetic core material is ≥100 MPa, and the room temperature compressive modulus of the cured lightweight synthetic core material is ≥1500 MPa.
