Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of 3D printing of composite materials, in particular to a continuous fiber reinforced aromatic polyimide 3D printing composite material and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] 3D printing is an advanced manufacturing technology that uses digital driving to stack materials layer by layer. The printing consumables are the material basis of 3D printing, mainly divided into powder, liquid, sheet and filament. The commonly used 3D printing filaments are mainly pure plastic filaments (such as nylon filaments, polylactic acid filaments, polycarbonate filaments) and short-cut fiber reinforced composite plastic filaments (such as short-cut carbon fiber reinforced nylon filaments). When printing composite materials with high mechanical performance requirements using the above filaments, it is found that there are obvious defects such as weak bearing capacity, poor interlayer performance, and low tensile strength, which seriously limit the further application and development of composite materials. Patent applications US20150165691 and US2022001587A1 disclose a composite material 3D printing technology using continuous carbon fiber filaments as reinforcing materials and thermoplastic plastics as resin matrix. During the printing process, the viscosity of the plastic is relatively high, resulting in poor wettability of the carbon fiber filaments and low fiber volume content. However, during the printing process, the plastic is melted by heat, and good adhesion can be formed between the filaments and the interlayers, and the interlayer shear strength is relatively high. The use of thermoplastic plastic as the resin matrix can make the composite material recyclable. Patent applications US2020283591A1 and CN111163921A disclose a composite material 3D printing technology using continuous carbon fiber reinforced epoxy resin as a printing filament and thermoplastic plastic as an adhesive. The wettability of the resin to the carbon fiber filaments is improved, the fiber volume content and the mechanical properties of the composite material are improved, but the use of traditional thermosetting resin to wet the carbon fiber results in the composite material being non-recyclable. In addition, the thermosetting epoxy resin cannot be melted by heat, and the filaments and the interlayers must rely on the melted thermoplastic plastic as an adhesive to form good adhesion. Compared with thermoplastic plastic, traditional thermosetting resin generally forms a prepolymer first, and the latent functional groups continue to react to form a crosslinked body structure during molding, which is irreversible. When heated, it cannot be melted and plasticized, and it is not soluble in solvents, making it difficult to recycle the composite material. Waste is usually used as filler, buried as garbage or incinerated, which not only causes great waste of resources, but also causes serious environmental pollution. SUMMARY

[0003] The application aims to provide a continuous fiber reinforced aromatic polyimide 3D printing consumable, a composite material and a preparation method thereof. By utilizing the dynamic covalent bond structure of aromatic imine contained in the special thermosetting aromatic polyimide resin, the consumable is endowed with good plasticity similar to that of thermoplastic plastic under printing conditions, so that the continuous fiber reinforced thermosetting resin-based composite material printed by using the 3D technology can be degraded and recycled under special conditions.
