Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of carbon fiber composite materials technology, and in particular to a carbon fiber composite material, a preparation method thereof, and a carbon fiber profile. Background Technology
[0002] Carbon fiber is widely used in various fields due to its high specific strength and specific modulus, light weight, and corrosion resistance; among them, carbon fiber profiles are a relatively common application area.
[0003] However, due to the various application scenarios of the profiles, carbon fiber panels are frequently scratched, affecting their use in profiles. Therefore, it is necessary to research a carbon fiber material that can achieve better self-healing capabilities even with fine scratches. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In order to solve at least one of the above-mentioned technical problems and to develop a carbon fiber material that can achieve good self-healing ability under fine scratches, this application provides a carbon fiber composite material, a preparation method, and a carbon fiber profile.
[0005] On the one hand, the carbon fiber composite material provided in this application is prepared from the following components in parts by weight:
[0006] 100 parts bamboo pulp fiber;
[0007] 0.2–1.5 parts of graphene oxide;
[0008] Attapulgite 1.5–2.8 parts;
[0009] 0.35 to 0.6 parts of coupling agent.
[0010] Optionally, the weight ratio of graphene oxide to attapulgite is 1:(2-2.75).
[0011] Optionally, the particle size of the attapulgite soil is 0.2 to 1 μm.
[0012] Optional, graphene oxide: diameter 0.01μm~15μm, thickness 0.55nm~3.85nm.
[0013] Optionally, the coupling agent is one or more combinations of silane coupling agents KH550 and KH560.
[0014] Secondly, this application also provides a method for preparing the above-mentioned carbon fiber composite material, comprising the following steps:
[0015] S1. Add bamboo pulp fibers to water and stir evenly to form a suspension;
[0016] S2. Add graphene oxide, attapulgite, and coupling agent to the suspension in S1, stir evenly, and then age at room temperature to obtain a solid mixture.
[0017] S3. The solid mixture prepared in S2 is dehydrated and then subjected to ultraviolet irradiation to obtain cross-linked fiber material;
[0018] S4. The cross-linked fiber material prepared in S3 is pre-oxidized at 200-300℃; then, in a protective gas atmosphere, it is heated to 1000-2000℃ for carbonization treatment to obtain carbon fiber composite material.
[0019] Optionally, in step S3, the ultraviolet irradiation time is 10 to 15 minutes.
[0020] Optionally, in step S4, the carbonization process takes 30 to 75 minutes.
[0021] Thirdly, this application also provides a carbon fiber profile prepared from the above-mentioned carbon fiber composite material.
[0022] In summary, this invention endows carbon fiber composites with a certain degree of self-healing ability by adding graphene oxide to carbon fibers. Furthermore, by adding attapulgite and selecting appropriate sizes for both the attapulgite and graphene oxide, the graphene oxide is partially embedded within the porous channels of the attapulgite. This allows the graphene oxide to be evenly distributed within the carbon fiber composite material through the attapulgite, while also facilitating electron movement through the porous channels of the attapulgite. When the carbon fiber composite material is scratched, the adjacent graphene oxide moves the attapulgite and carbon fibers, enabling the scratch to self-heal. Detailed Implementation
