Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of composite materials, and particularly to a carbon fiber, a preparation method thereof, and a composite material containing the same. More specifically, it relates to a carbon fiber with a phthalonitrile group-terminated polyurethane on the surface, a preparation method thereof, and a resin-based carbon fiber reinforced composite material containing the same. Background Art

[0002] Compared with traditional lightweight alloy materials, resin-based composite materials have a smaller density, a higher specific strength, and a higher flexible structural designability. With the continuous development of the demand for structural weight reduction, resin-based carbon fiber reinforced composite materials are being increasingly used in fields such as aerospace and high-end automobiles. However, as structural materials, in many cases, there are not only requirements for the mechanical properties of the materials, but also very strict requirements for the heat resistance, ablation resistance, and flame retardancy of the materials. For example, when a spacecraft or a rocket passes through the atmosphere, the intense friction with the air generates a high temperature that can reach several hundred or even over a thousand degrees Celsius, which requires the external fairing material to have good ablation resistance; another example is that the structural materials near a high-power engine are affected by the heat generated by the engine operation, and their working temperature may also reach above 200°C. The heat resistance of resin-based composite materials is their most important performance shortcoming, which restricts their application in high-temperature environments.

[0003] Phthalonitrile is a class of aromatic monomers containing dicyano groups. Phthalonitrile monomers can be cross-linked through cyanide groups under heating conditions to obtain phthalonitrile resins containing triazine rings, isoindole rings, and phthalocyanine ring structures. The cured phthalonitrile resins have excellent mechanical and heat resistance properties, and the glass transition temperature can exceed 400°C, exceeding most types of polyimide resins. Therefore, phthalonitrile / carbon fiber composite materials are composite materials that can be applied to high-temperature environments. However, most of the current commercial carbon fiber sizing agents belong to epoxy and cyanate ester types. These sizing agents have poor heat resistance and low binding force with phthalonitrile resins. Under high-temperature environments, the interfacial strength between carbon fibers and phthalonitrile resins will rapidly decay, resulting in the destruction of the composite material interface layer and ultimately affecting the mechanical properties of the material at high temperatures.

[0088] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0089] Example 1

[0090] A preparation method of a carbon fiber with a phthalonitrile group-terminated polyurethane on the surface. In this example, the type of carbon fiber used is Toray T700SC-12000-50C, and the fiber uses a general epoxy sizing agent, including the following steps:

[0091] S0. Carbon fiber desizing

[0092] To surface-treat carbon fibers using the method of the present invention, the commercial carbon fibers are first desized. First, the carbon fiber cloth is immersed in acetone and then refluxed at 80 °C for 24 h to complete the desizing of the carbon fiber cloth;

[0093] S1. Oxidation of the carbon fiber surface

[0094] Silver nitrate and potassium persulfate are dissolved in water, the solution is heated to 60 °C, the carbon fibers are immersed in the solution for 4 h, and then the carbon fibers are taken out and washed.

[0095] S2. Reduction of the carbon fiber surface

[0096] Sodium borohydride is dissolved in water, the carbon fibers treated in step S1 are immersed in the solution, and the treatment is carried out under heating and reflux conditions for 2 h. Then the carbon fibers are taken out, washed with water and dried.

[0097] S3. Synthesis of isocyanate-terminated polyurethane

[0098] 4,4`-Diphenylmethane diisocyanate and dibutyltin dilaurate are dissolved in a solvent, and the diglycol solution is dropped into the isocyanate solution, and the reaction is carried out at 80 °C for 5 h to obtain solution A;

[0099] S4. First surface treatment of carbon fibers

[0100] The carbon fibers obtained in step S2 are immersed in solution A obtained in step S3, and the reaction is carried out at 80 °C for 8 h. Then the carbon fibers are taken out, and the surface of the carbon fibers is washed with the same solvent as in step S3 and dried;

[0101] S5. Synthesis of aminophthalonitrile

[0102] 4-Nitrophthalonitrile and 3-amino-4-methylphenol are mixed in a solvent, anhydrous potassium carbonate is added, and the reaction is carried out at 130 °C for 4 h to obtain solution B;

[0103] S6. Second surface treatment of carbon fibers

[0104] The carbon fibers obtained in step S4 are immersed in solution B obtained in step S5, soaked at room temperature for 20 h, washed, and dried to obtain carbon fibers with phthalonitrile group-terminated polyurethane on the surface.

[0105] A resin-based carbon fiber reinforced composite material, which is a phthalonitrile resin-based carbon fiber reinforced composite material, is cured from carbon fibers with phthalonitrile group-terminated polyurethane on the surface prepared in this example and a phthalonitrile resin matrix. The resin matrix is bisphenol A type phthalonitrile, and the resin content is 40-45 wt%. The curing process is: heat preservation at 240 °C for 2 h, heat preservation at 280 °C for 2 h, heat preservation at 320 °C for 2 h, and heat preservation at 350 °C for 2 h.

[0106] Comparative Example 1

[0107] It is different from Example 1 in that

[0108] The type of carbon fiber used in this comparative example is Toray T700SC-12000-50C and it is not treated.

[0109] Infrared spectroscopy analysis was carried out on the carbon fibers prepared in Example 1 and the carbon fibers in Comparative Example 1. The results are as Figure 1 shown. Compared with the untreated carbon fibers in Comparative Example 1, the infrared absorption peaks on the surface of the carbon fibers treated in Example 1 are more complex. An absorption peak attributed to the carbonyl group in polyurethane appears at 1720 cm -1 and an obvious absorption peak attributed to the cyano group in phthalonitrile appears at 2232 cm -1 . Thus, it can be seen that the carbon fiber surface has a polyurethane structure and phthalonitrile functional groups.

[0110] Scanning electron microscopy morphology observation was carried out on the carbon fibers prepared in Example 1 and the carbon fibers in Comparative Example 1. The results are as Figure 2 shown. As can be seen from Figure 2 a in it, the surface roughness of the untreated carbon fibers in Comparative Example 1 is relatively large and the gully-like morphology is obvious. As can be seen from Figure 2 b in it, for the carbon fibers treated in Example 1, since a polyurethane-based phthalonitrile layer is formed on the carbon fiber surface, the surface becomes significantly flatter and the gullies become shallower.

[0111] The interlaminar shear strength of the composite material was tested using GB / T 1450.1-2005 "Test Method for Interlaminar Shear Strength of Fiber Reinforced Plastics"; the tensile properties of the composite material were tested using GB / T 1447-2005 "Test Method for Tensile Properties of Fiber Reinforced Plastics". The mechanical properties at high temperature were tested through an environmental test chamber equipped with a mechanical testing machine. The results are as Figure 3 shown. From the test results, it can be seen that after the surface of the carbon fiber is treated by the method described in Example 1 of the present invention, the high-temperature mechanical interface strength of its phthalonitrile-based composite material is significantly improved. Compared with the carbon fiber composite material untreated in Comparative Example 1, the interface shear strength is increased by 196%. Thanks to the improvement of the interface strength, the tensile strength of the composite material in the 0° direction is also increased by 40%.

[0112] The carbon fiber surface of the present invention contains a phthalonitrile group-terminated polyurethane polymer layer. On the one hand, this polymer layer functions as a sizing agent. On the other hand, the polymer layer contains active phthalonitrile functional groups, which can form a thermosetting interface layer with the matrix phthalonitrile resin during the curing process. The interface layer connects the carbon fiber and the resin matrix through covalent bonds, and has better interfacial strength than ordinary sizing agents. This interface layer has good thermal stability and can maintain the interfacial strength in a high-temperature environment, thereby ensuring the mechanical properties of the composite material in a high-temperature environment.

[0113] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and do not limit the patent scope of the present invention accordingly. Any equivalent structural transformation made by using the content of the specification of the present invention under the inventive concept of the present invention, or any direct / indirect application in other related technical fields is included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
