Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to a method for repairing damage defects of an antiprotoxin siloxane coating, belonging to the technical field of antiprotoxin protection. Background Art
[0002] A large amount of organic polymer materials are used on the surface of low-orbit satellites. However, there is a large amount of atomic oxygen in the low-Earth orbit environment. The impact of atomic oxygen and its strong oxidizing effect will cause changes in the chemical composition and quality loss of organic polymers, resulting in a decrease in their mechanical, electrical, optical and other properties. At present, in order to improve the anti-proton oxygen performance of large-area organic polymer film materials, the use of plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition technology to deposit siloxane protective film coatings is one of the most effective protective methods. However, during the preparation, transportation, launch and application of siloxane protective coatings, more or less defects, cracks, and shedding will occur in the coatings, resulting in damage defects in the coatings. These damage defects provide a channel for atomic oxygen to enter the base material, causing atomic oxygen to "penetrate" and hollow out under the protective layer, causing the protective coating to tear and fall off, and then leading to the failure of protective measures, resulting in greater harm. Re-preparing the coating and replacing new parts is difficult, time-consuming and costly. If the damaged parts of the coating are repaired, the coating damage problem can be solved quickly and efficiently. Therefore, it is of great significance to develop repair technology for anti-proton oxygen coating materials. Summary of the invention
[0003] In view of this, the purpose of the present invention is to propose a method for repairing damage defects of antigenic oxygen siloxane coatings, which adopts spraying and brushing methods to solve the problem of rapid repair of damage defects such as macro cracks and local detachment generated in the service process of folding, unfolding, vibration and collision of existing siloxane coatings, and enhance the bonding strength and density between the repair area and the substrate and the original coating.
[0004] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides a method for repairing damage defects of an antigenic siloxane coating, the method comprising the following steps:
[0005] (1) Use a high-pressure blower to purge the damaged area of the coating to clean up the floating dust and impurities in the area to be repaired. The wind speed is 5-15m / s, the purge angle is 30°-45°, the purge distance is 100mm-300mm, and the purge time is 5s-10s;
[0006] (2) spraying the repair material onto the coating damage defect area;
[0007] (3) Then, the uniformity, bonding strength and thickness of the repair material after spraying are regulated by brushing / scraping, so as to achieve the effect of defect filling and tight bonding. The brushing method is cross brushing, and the coating thickness is controlled to be 0.5-10 microns;
[0008] (4) Using vacuum drying and UV light cross-linking to cure the repair coating to achieve the repair of coating damage. The curing method is first vacuum drying for 10-100 minutes to volatilize the solvent in the repair material. The UV spectrum range is 200-400nm, and the irradiation time is 1-72h, so that the coating can achieve the effect of light curing and cross-linking film formation;
[0009] In the step (2), the repair material is composed of dimethylsiloxane (50-60wt%), perhydropolysilazane (20-30wt%), nano silicon oxide (5-15wt%) and nano aluminum oxide (5-15wt%) powders diluted into a viscous solution, and the diluent is a solvent such as cyclohexane, toluene, and n-butyl ether;
[0010] The siloxane coating to be repaired is a siloxane coating deposited by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition.

The repair material is composed of dimethylsiloxane, perhydropolysilicon nitrogen, and inorganic fillers nano silicon oxide and nano aluminum oxide. Combining spraying and brushing technology, the thickness, uniformity, density of the repair material, and the bonding force between the repair material and the substrate are precisely controlled by finely regulating the repair process parameters.
