Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of composite energetic materials, specifically, to multi-stage structured carbon fibers, reinforced and toughened PBX and its preparation method. Background Art

[0002] Polymer bonded explosives (PBX) are high particle-filled composite materials composed of explosive crystals and a small amount of polymer binders (mass fraction less than 10%). They not only maintain the detonation energy of explosives but also have the advantage of easy molding of polymers, and are widely used in various weaponry. With the development of modern weaponry, during transportation, training, and combat use of PBX components, they will be subjected to the combined effects of various external stresses, vibration shocks, environmental thermal stresses, and penetration overloading, and are required to have good mechanical strength and toughness. However, as a typical high-filled polymer matrix composite material, PBX exhibits typical brittle and low-strength mechanical properties.

[0003] One-dimensional carbon fibers (CFs) are a kind of polycrystalline inorganic material with a carbon content higher than 90%, and the incomplete graphite crystals are arranged along the fiber axis. They have characteristics such as high specific strength, high specific modulus, low linear expansion coefficient, high temperature resistance, excellent thermal and electrical conductivity, etc., and are widely used as reinforcing materials for high-performance resin matrix composites. To improve the mechanical properties of explosives, short carbon fibers were used to mechanically reinforce RDX / TNT cast explosives in the literature (Energetic Materials, 2013, 21, 786 - 790). It was reported in the literature (Initiators & Pyrotechnics, 2014, 3, 35 - 37) that adding carbon fibers can improve the compressive and tensile strengths of PBX explosives. However, the surface energy of carbon fibers is low, the surface is relatively smooth and chemically inert, resulting in a weak interfacial strength between carbon fibers and polymer matrices, and it is difficult to fully exhibit the expected performance, and it is difficult to efficiently reinforce and toughen PBX.

[0004] To overcome the above problems, Patent CN107190512A grafted polymer PEI on the surface of carbon fibers to increase the mechanical meshing between carbon fibers and the matrix resin, thereby enhancing the interfacial shear strength of carbon fibers. Patent CN114456412A disclosed a method for grafting multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) on the surface of carbon fibers to improve the fiber-matrix interfacial interaction. Patent CN113293605A deposited GO (graphene oxide) on the surface of carbon fibers, which helped to increase the interaction with the resin matrix and improve the mechanical properties of the composite. The above research results show that surface modification of carbon fibers is the main means to effectively modify the fiber-polymer matrix interface and the mechanical properties of composites. At present, the main problems of this technology are reflected in the limited improvement in the interfacial interaction between carbon fibers and the matrix, the poor mechanical enhancement effect of composites, the mostly physical interaction between the surface modifier and carbon fibers, the weak strength and easy shedding, the complex preparation process of modified carbon fibers, and the need to use expensive equipment, etc., which cannot achieve efficient reinforcement and toughening of PBX. Therefore, developing a surface modification method for carbon fibers with more excellent interfacial properties is of great significance for improving the mechanical properties of PBX, which can solve the bottleneck problem of low carbon fiber reinforcement efficiency and can be widely applied to the field of high-performance carbon fiber composites as a general technology. Summary of the Invention

By grafting a cross-linked structure of polyurethane and graphene oxide on the surface of carbon fibers through in-situ chemical reactions, not only the infiltration and chemical affinity between carbon fibers and the binder are enhanced, and the surface rough physical anchor points are increased, but also the mechanical strength of the surface modification layer is improved by using high-strength graphene oxide, thereby efficiently improving the strength and toughness of the PBX composite.
