AI Technical Summary
Existing PEEK materials cannot meet the requirements of extreme environments such as extreme high and low temperatures, large temperature difference alternation, and solar radiation in aerospace pyrotechnic devices.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of polymer materials technology, and specifically relates to a modified polyether ether ketone material for aerospace pyrotechnic devices and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] With the increasing number of space missions in my country, such as the launch of high-orbit satellites and the operation and maintenance of space stations, pyrotechnic devices are required to withstand extreme environments such as extremely high and low temperatures, large temperature fluctuations, and solar radiation. Some structures place high demands on the compressive strength, sealing performance, insulation, and high-temperature resistance of materials, which conventional materials often struggle to simultaneously achieve. In particular, some non-metallic materials currently used in components, such as glass fiber-modified phenolic resin, generally exhibit low heat resistance and impact resistance, and their processing methods suffer from high energy consumption and pollution. Furthermore, when applied to the sealing structures of pyrotechnic devices, the high temperatures and impact coupling conditions generated during operation may induce a decrease in the product's sealing performance, making it difficult for the product to meet the high sealing requirements after ignition.
[0003] Polyarylether polymers are typical representatives of commercially available thermoplastic specialty engineering plastics, with polyetheretherketone (PEEK) being the most noteworthy. PEEK is a polymer composed of repeating units containing one ketone bond and two ether bonds in its main chain structure. It is a linear aromatic polymer compound with numerous benzene rings, exhibiting excellent processing properties and ease of injection molding, extrusion molding, and machining. It is one of the top-tier specialty engineering plastics with the best overall performance. PEEK has been widely used in cutting-edge fields such as aerospace, electronics, medical devices, and nuclear power generation. Especially in the aerospace field, PEEK can replace aluminum and other metal materials in the manufacture of aircraft parts, reducing weight by up to 70% compared to metals. In addition, the European Space Agency, in collaboration with the Portuguese polymer engineering company PIEP, launched a 3D-printed PEEK-based small satellite product, which successfully passed commercial testing. Meanwhile, PEEK injection-molded radomes, fasteners, aerospace fuel tanks, and other components are gradually becoming mainstream products in the industry.
[0004] Although polyarylene ether specialty polymer materials have been successfully applied in the aerospace field, their application in the field of aerospace pyrotechnic devices, known as the "heart of thermal weapons," is still in its infancy. Moreover, in limited non-critical applications, foreign companies' polyarylene ether raw materials (such as PEEK and PEI) and finished parts are generally used, resulting in a low degree of self-control. At the same time, existing PEEK materials still need to be modified to meet the performance requirements of pyrotechnic devices in terms of pressure resistance, sealing, insulation, and high temperature resistance.
[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to design formulations to meet the requirements of aerospace pyrotechnic devices in extreme environments such as extremely high and low temperatures, large temperature fluctuations, and solar radiation, and to solve the problem of limited application of existing PEEK materials in aerospace pyrotechnic devices. The main points are as follows:
[0006] (1) The metal compatibility of pure PEEK material cannot meet the airtightness requirements when applied to aerospace pyrotechnic devices.
[0007] (2) The mechanical strength of pure PEEK material cannot meet the temperature and pressure resistance requirements of aerospace pyrotechnic devices at the moment of ignition.
[0008] (3) Pure PEEK material has insufficient flowability when used in aerospace pyrotechnic devices. Summary of the Invention
[0009] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, the inventors have conducted intensive research and provided a modified polyetheretherketone (PEEK) material for aerospace pyrotechnic devices and its preparation method. By introducing functional groups, the mechanical strength, temperature resistance and pressure resistance of PEEK material are improved, the interfacial compatibility between PEEK material and metal material is enhanced, thereby improving the sealing performance of aerospace pyrotechnic devices and improving the flowability of PEEK.
[0010] The technical solution provided by this invention is as follows:
[0011] In one aspect, a method for preparing a modified polyetheretherketone (PEEK) material is disclosed, using phenolphthalein and potassium hydroquinone sulfonate as phenol sources, and combining them with 4,4-difluorobenzophenone and 2,6-dichlorobenzonitrile, to synthesize a modified PEEK-NS polyetheretherketone sulfonate copolymer with cyano and sulfonic acid groups via nucleophilic condensation polymerization. The method includes:
[0012] 4,4-Difluorobenzophenone, 2,6-dichlorobenzonitrile, phenolphthalein, potassium hydroquinone sulfonate, catalyst and organic solvent are mixed in a reactor;
[0013] The reaction system was heated to carry out a polycondensation reaction to synthesize crude modified polyether ether ketone material;
[0014] The crude modified polyether ether ketone material was purified to obtain the purified modified polyether ether ketone material.
[0015] Secondly, a modified polyetheretherketone material is polymerized from 4,4-difluorobenzophenone, 2,6-dichlorobenzonitrile, phenolphthalein, and potassium hydroquinone sulfonate.
[0016] The molar ratio of 4,4-difluorobenzophenone, 2,6-dichlorobenzonitrile, phenolphthalein, and potassium hydroquinone sulfonate is (1.5–4.5):(10–14):(3.5–6.5):(8–12), and the sum of the amounts of 4,4-difluorobenzophenone and 2,6-dichlorobenzonitrile is equal to the sum of the amounts of phenolphthalein and potassium hydroquinone sulfonate.
[0017] The modified polyetheretherketone material for aerospace pyrotechnic devices and its preparation method provided by the present invention have the following beneficial effects:
[0018] (1) The present invention provides a modified polyether ether ketone material for aerospace pyrotechnic devices and its preparation method, using phenolphthalein and potassium hydroquinone sulfonate as phenol sources. Phenolphthalein has a twisted non-planar structure and large steric hindrance, which makes the copolymer non-crystallizing and has better flowability during injection molding, thus solving the problem of insufficient flowability of pure PEEK during injection molding of complex aerospace pyrotechnic devices;
[0019] (2) The present invention provides a modified polyether ether ketone material for aerospace pyrotechnic devices and its preparation method. By introducing sulfonic acid groups in the synthesis modification of potassium hydroquinone sulfonate, which are polar groups and easy to graft, they can be connected to other interfaces during use, thereby improving the interfacial compatibility. This solves the problem of insufficient sealing performance caused by low interfacial compatibility of pure PEEK when used in aerospace pyrotechnic devices. Through modification, the aerospace pyrotechnic device made can achieve the sealing requirement of 29.5 MPa / 1min without leakage when tested by the bubble method, while pure PEEK material can only achieve 19 MPa / 1min without leakage. Glass fiber modified phenolic resin can meet the requirement of 25 MPa / 1min without leakage for aerospace pyrotechnic devices, but it is difficult to meet the requirement of 29 MPa / 1min for aerospace pyrotechnic devices used in manned spaceflight.
[0020] (3) The present invention provides a modified polyether ether ketone material for aerospace pyrotechnic devices and its preparation method. In the synthesis, cyano groups are introduced. When heated, cyano groups can crosslink with other groups to form a network structure, which helps to improve the temperature resistance. Its glass transition temperature is about 236°C and it can be used for a long time in the range of 300°C. At the same time, the cyano group has large steric hindrance, which also helps to improve the flowability during processing. Attached Figure Description

[0026] The features and advantages of the present invention will become clearer and more apparent from the following detailed description.
[0027] The term “exemplary” as used herein means “serving as an example, embodiment, or illustration.” Any embodiment illustrated herein as “exemplary” is not necessarily to be construed as superior to or better than other embodiments.
[0028] This invention provides a method for modifying polyetheretherketone (PEEK) materials, comprising the following steps:
[0029] Step one involves mixing 4,4-difluorobenzophenone, 2,6-dichlorobenzonitrile, phenolphthalein, potassium hydroquinone sulfonate (potassium 2,5-dihydroxybenzenesulfonate), catalyst, and organic solvent in a reactor. In this step, 2,6-difluorobenzonitrile can be used instead of 2,6-dichlorobenzonitrile.
[0030] In this step, the molar ratio of 4,4-difluorobenzophenone, 2,6-dichlorobenzonitrile, phenolphthalein, and potassium hydroquinone sulfonate is (1.5–4.5):(10–14):(3.5–6.5):(8–12), and the sum of the amounts of 4,4-difluorobenzophenone and 2,6-dichlorobenzonitrile is equal to the sum of the amounts of phenolphthalein and potassium hydroquinone sulfonate.
[0031] Preferably, the molar ratio of 4,4-difluorobenzophenone, 2,6-dichlorobenzonitrile, phenolphthalein, and potassium hydroquinone sulfonate is (2-4):(11-13):(4-6):(9-11), and the sum of the amounts of 4,4-difluorobenzophenone and 2,6-dichlorobenzonitrile is equal to the sum of the amounts of phenolphthalein and potassium hydroquinone sulfonate.
[0032] More preferably, the molar ratio of 4,4-difluorobenzophenone, 2,6-dichlorobenzonitrile, phenolphthalein, and potassium hydroquinone sulfonate is (2.5–3.5):(11.5–12.5):(4.5–5.5):(9.5–10.5), such as 3:12:5:10, and the sum of the amounts of 4,4-difluorobenzophenone and 2,6-dichlorobenzonitrile is equal to the sum of the amounts of phenolphthalein and potassium hydroquinone sulfonate.
[0033] In this step, the catalyst is selected from at least one of potassium carbonate (K2CO3) and sodium carbonate (Na2CO3), with potassium carbonate (K2CO3) being preferred.
[0034] In this step, the organic solvent includes a first solvent and a second solvent. The first solvent is selected from at least one polar aprotic solvent such as N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP), N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), dimethylacetamide (DMAc), and sulfolane. The second solvent is selected from a combination of at least one of toluene and xylene, such as a combination of NMP and toluene. Preferably, the volume ratio of the first solvent to the second solvent is (2-4):1, such as 3:1.
[0035] In this step, the total mass of 4,4-difluorobenzophenone, 2,6-dichlorobenzonitrile, phenolphthalein, and potassium hydroquinone sulfonate is in the mass ratio of catalyst and organic solvent to 70:(25-50):(80-140), such as 70:32:99.
[0036] Step two: After assembling a water separation device on the reactor, the reaction system is heated to carry out a prepolymerization reaction. During the reaction, the generated water is separated until the dehydration is completed. The reaction rate is accelerated by continuously separating the generated water in the system.
[0037] In this step, the reactor is equipped with a thermometer, a stirrer, and a water separator. During the reaction, the reactor is stirred and the reaction temperature is monitored. The water separator includes a water separator and a condenser. After the water separator with an appropriate amount of toluene and the condenser connected to cold water are installed on the reaction apparatus and sealed, the condensation reaction is started.
[0038] In this step, the prepolymerization reaction temperature is 150–160°C, such as 155°C.
[0039] Step 3: The reaction system is heated to carry out a polycondensation reaction to synthesize crude modified polyetheretherketone material. See the schematic diagram for the synthesis. Figure 1 .
[0040] In this step, the polycondensation reaction temperature is 185–190℃, and the reaction time is 1–4 hours.
[0041] Step four: Purify the crude modified polyether ether ketone material to obtain purified modified polyether ether ketone material (PEEK-NS).
[0042] The purification process in this step is as follows:
[0043] Step 4.1: Pour the crude modified polyetheretherketone material, which has been cooled to a suitable temperature (100-120℃), into anhydrous ethanol for precipitation and hardening for more than 12 hours;
[0044] Step 4.2: To remove unreacted monomers and catalyst, the precipitate is pulverized and then refluxed and heated in an acidic aqueous solution (5%–10% by mass) for at least 2 hours at a temperature of 80–100°C. The acidic aqueous solution is hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, or nitric acid. The pulverized precipitate is then washed sequentially with a volatile organic solvent and hot water, preferably acetone, ethanol, and hot water. Acetone and ethanol washings are performed at least once for 10 minutes each, and hot water washing is performed twice, each time for at least 0.5 hours. Finally, the product is dried in an oven at 100–130°C (e.g., 120°C) for at least 4 hours.
[0045] The present invention also provides a modified polyetheretherketone material, which is prepared by the above-described method for modifying polyetheretherketone materials.

The 5% thermal decomposition temperature of PEEK-NS (T...) 5% ) and 10% thermal decomposition temperature (T 10% The temperatures exceeded 553℃ and 564℃ respectively, demonstrating excellent thermal stability.

After high and low temperature cycling tests, it ignited under heat preservation conditions. Helium mass spectrometry leak detection showed a leakage rate of less than 1 × 10⁻⁶. - 8 Pa·m 3 / s, sealing performance and ignition performance meet the requirements.
