Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of aerospace equipment design and manufacturing, and relates to an ultra-wideband absorbing honeycomb sandwich structure and its preparation method. Specifically, it relates to an ultra-wideband absorbing honeycomb sandwich structure that is insensitive to polarization and incident angle and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] As a widely used structural form in new aviation equipment, the radar-absorbing honeycomb sandwich structure plays an important integrated role in load-bearing and radar absorption. That is, this structure is both an integral part of the airframe, serving a load-bearing function, and simultaneously absorbs electromagnetic waves incident on its surface, thus contributing to stealth. Currently, radar detection technology is developing rapidly. If radar-absorbing materials / structures cannot effectively absorb radar waves, it will pose a significant threat to equipment safety. Traditional radar-absorbing materials / structures generally suffer from limited absorption bandwidth and sensitivity to electromagnetic wave incident angles and polarization directions, making it difficult to meet the all-around (0-360°) ultra-wideband (0.1-18GHz) radar stealth requirements of new aviation equipment. Therefore, how to obtain high-performance radar-absorbing materials / structures through composition, structure, and process design is a major challenge facing the field of aviation equipment design and manufacturing.

[0003] To address these issues, extensive research has been conducted: 1. In terms of composition optimization, various novel absorbing materials have been continuously developed, such as carbon materials, ferrite absorbing materials, ceramic absorbing materials, and composite materials. 2. In terms of structural design, multi-layer macroscopic absorbing structure designs, represented by Salisbury screens, impedance-matching absorbing materials, and Jaumann absorbing materials, as well as mesoscopic absorbing structure design methods, represented by two-dimensional frequency-selective surfaces and three-dimensional honeycomb structures, have been developed.

[0004] Specifically, in the field of microwave absorbing powder, patent document CN113249092B discloses a metal-organic framework complex composite microwave absorbing powder and its preparation method. This method combines dielectric SiO2 with a magnetic metal-organic framework to broaden the effective absorption bandwidth, which is 4GHz (8-12GHz). Patent document CN113214787B utilizes cobalt ferrite-iron-cobalt alloy to co-coat hollow glass microspheres and carbon microspheres to prepare a ternary core-shell composite material powder with an effective absorption bandwidth of 4.2GHz (8.2-12.4GHz).

[0005] In the design of two-dimensional absorbing structures, two-dimensional frequency-selective surfaces with periodic structures are widely used. Regarding the materials for these frequency-selective surfaces, published patent documents typically employ high-conductivity shielding materials such as metals, graphene, and ITO. For example, patent document CN109638450B utilizes a graphene frequency-selective surface to fabricate a reconfigurable radome; patent document CN113437531B uses metal patch units to fabricate a miniaturized angle-insensitive absorbing structure with an effective absorption bandwidth of 3.5 GHz (3.5-7 GHz); and patent document CN112928483B utilizes a metal-dielectric-metal combination to form a frequency-selective surface stacked structure with an effective absorption bandwidth of 8 GHz (7-15 GHz). However, frequency-selective surfaces only exhibit excellent electromagnetic wave absorption performance near the resonant frequency point, making it difficult to achieve broadband absorption.

[0006] Regarding the design of three-dimensional periodic structures, patent document CN112519365B utilizes dielectric absorbers such as carbon black and graphene to prepare thermoplastic absorbing honeycomb panels with an effective absorption bandwidth of 10GHz (8-18GHz). Patent document CN112143023B proposes a method for preparing a absorbing honeycomb pyramid / rigid foam composite material with an effective absorption bandwidth of 16GHz (2-18GHz). Patent document CN106469858B proposes a honeycomb / resistive sheet stacked structure with an effective absorption bandwidth of 21.6GHz (2.4-24GHz). However, the above three representative patents do not design the absorption performance under different incident angles and polarization directions, and the test frequency band only covers 2-18GHz, making it difficult to achieve ultra-wideband (0.1-18GHz) absorption. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide an ultra-wideband absorbing honeycomb sandwich structure that is insensitive to polarization and incident angle and its preparation method. It can effectively solve the problems of poor low-frequency (0.1-4GHz) absorption performance and the large influence of incident angle and polarization direction on absorption performance of the current absorbing honeycomb sandwich structure, and effectively meet the urgent needs of aircraft omnidirectional ultra-wideband radar stealth.

[0089] In this embodiment, the thickness of the upper panel is 2mm and the thickness of the lower panel is 4mm.

[0090] A method for fabricating an ultra-wideband absorbing honeycomb sandwich structure according to this embodiment includes the following steps:

[0091] (1) Preparation of high-frequency scattering effect absorbing resin: Carbonyl iron powder, chopped carbon fiber, and epoxy resin were mixed and stirred at a mass ratio of 3:1:20. The carbonyl iron powder was selected with an average particle size of 1000 mesh, and the chopped carbon fiber had a length of 3 mm and a diameter of 7 μm. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 30 minutes using a high-speed stirrer at a stirring speed of 800 rpm to obtain the high-frequency scattering effect absorbing resin. The high-frequency scattering effect absorbing resin met the electrical performance indicators shown in Table 5.

Each structural unit is composed of an outer ring 1 and an inner ring 2 (nested together). The outer ring 1 is a rectangular ring structure with a notch, and the inner ring 2 is a rectangular ring structure with a notch. The width a of the outer ring 1 is 1 mm, the envelope width e of the outer ring 1 is 6 mm, the width c of the inner ring 2 is 2 mm, the envelope length d of the inner ring 2 is 3 mm, the distance b between the outer ring 1 and the inner ring 2 is 0.5 mm, and the opening size f of both the outer ring 1 and the inner ring 2 is 2 mm. The high-frequency scattering effect absorbing resin prepared in step (1) is used to prepare an open-ring periodic metasurface according to the above structure. The metasurface meets the electrical performance indicators shown in Table 1.

[0093] (3) Preparation of metamaterial panel: Using epoxy resin film as carrier, the open-ring periodic metasurface prepared in step (2) is printed on epoxy resin film using screen printing technology. Then, the epoxy resin film with the printed metasurface is laid on the middle layer of quartz fiber reinforced resin base prepreg and cured by vacuum bag-autoclave curing process to obtain metamaterial panel. The vacuum bag-autoclave curing process is as follows: under vacuum degree not less than 0.095MPa, the temperature is raised to 100℃ at a heating rate of 2℃ / min, and the pressure is increased to 0.6MPa. The temperature is held for 2h, the temperature is raised to 150℃ and held for 1h, and finally the temperature is raised to 180℃ and held for 3h. Then, the temperature is cooled to 60℃ at a cooling rate of 1.5℃ / min, the pressure is released and the panel is removed from the autoclave, thus completing the preparation of metamaterial panel.

The high-scattering dielectric conductive paste meets the electrical performance indicators shown in Table 2.

[0095] (5) Preparation of absorbing honeycomb: White honeycomb with a pore side length of 3mm and a height of 17mm was repeatedly impregnated and pre-cured in the high-scattering dielectric conductive paste prepared in step (4). The impregnation time for each time was controlled at 3min, the pre-curing temperature was 80℃, and the pre-curing time was 5min. Subsequently, by controlling the number of impregnations, the volume density of the absorbing honeycomb was achieved to be 90kg / m³. 3 .

[0096] (6) Preparation of low dielectric loss and high magnetic loss composite material panel: Short-cut silicon carbide fiber, ZIF-67 metal-organic framework and epoxy resin were mixed and stirred in a mass ratio of 1:3:10. The selected short-cut silicon carbide fiber had a length of 3 mm and a diameter of 14 μm. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 30 minutes using a high-speed stirrer at a stirring speed of 800 rpm. The mixture was then cured using a vacuum bag-autoclave process under a vacuum degree of not less than 0.095 MPa. The temperature was increased to 100℃ at a heating rate of 1.5℃ / min and held for 4 hours. Subsequently, the temperature was cooled to 60℃ at a cooling rate of 1.5℃ / min. The pressure was released from the autoclave to obtain the low dielectric loss and high magnetic loss composite material panel. The low dielectric loss and high magnetic loss composite material panel meets the electrical performance indicators shown in Table 3.

[0097] (7) Preparation of ultra-wideband absorbing honeycomb sandwich structure: The metamaterial panel prepared in step (3) is used as the upper panel, the absorbing honeycomb prepared in step (5) is used as the sandwich layer, and the low dielectric loss and high magnetic loss composite material panel prepared in step (6) is used as the lower panel. The upper panel, absorbing honeycomb and lower panel are bonded together with an adhesive film to obtain an ultra-wideband absorbing honeycomb sandwich structure. The thickness of the upper panel is 2 mm and the thickness of the lower panel is 4 mm. The bonding process is as follows: the vacuum degree is not less than 0.095 MPa, the temperature is raised to 80℃ at a heating rate of 1.5℃ / min, held for 2 hours, and then cooled to 40℃~60℃ at a cooling rate of 1.5℃ / min to complete the bonding.

[0098] Electrical performance characterization of the ultrawideband absorbing honeycomb sandwich structure in this embodiment:

[0099] Figure 1 Demonstrates TE mode ( Figure 1 a, Figure 1 c) and TM ( Figure 1 b, Figure 1 d) The reflection loss of the absorbing honeycomb sandwich structure under different electromagnetic wave incident angles in the 0.1-18GHz frequency band under mode d) is determined by Figure 1 It is known that the absorbing honeycomb sandwich structure of the present invention can achieve a reflection loss of <-10dB under different polarization directions and incident angles, that is, the effective absorption bandwidth covers 0.1-18GHz. The ultra-wideband absorbing honeycomb sandwich structure of the present invention generates resonant loss at a frequency of 0.5GHz, and the reflection loss in other frequency bands besides the resonant frequency point shows insensitivity to the incident angle and polarization direction. Figure 1 (c) is Figure 1 (a) A magnified view of a local area in the 0.1–1 GHz range. Figure 1 (d) is Figure 1 (b) A magnified view of a local area in the 0.1–1 GHz range. Figure 1 (c) Figure 1 (d) indicates that by constructing a resonance in the 0.1-1 GHz frequency band, the absorption performance outside the resonance influence frequency band is not sensitive to the incident angle (as shown by the curves being very close).

[0100] To better illustrate the insensitivity to incident angle and polarization direction, the quality factor Q is used to characterize the resonance characteristics at the resonant frequency. The quality factor can be calculated by the ratio of the resonant frequency to the resonant half-width at half maximum (FWHM). Table 4 shows the target quality factor values ​​for the absorbing honeycomb sandwich structure with insensitivity to incident angle and polarization direction in the 0.1-18 GHz frequency band. This indicates that by constructing resonance in the P-band (0.1-1 GHz) and quantifying and constraining the resonance behavior through the quality factor, this invention ultimately achieves an effective absorption bandwidth covering the 0.1-18 GHz frequency band, realizing ultra-wideband absorption while maintaining insensitivity to electromagnetic wave incident angle and polarization direction.

The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 30 minutes using a high-speed stirrer at a stirring speed of 800 rpm. The mixture was cured using a vacuum bag-autoclave process under a vacuum degree of not less than 0.095 MPa. The temperature was increased to 100℃ at a heating rate of 1.5℃ / min and held for 4 hours. Then, the temperature was cooled to 60℃ at a cooling rate of 1.5℃ / min. The pressure was released from the autoclave to obtain the low dielectric loss and high magnetic loss composite material panel. The low dielectric loss and high magnetic loss composite material panel meets the electrical performance indicators shown in Table 3.
