Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of polyimide film preparation technology, and specifically to a method for preparing a high-toughness polyimide nanofiber film. Background Technology

[0002] Given the increasingly severe energy and environmental problems, the development of organic membrane materials with excellent heat resistance and controllable pore size and distribution has become a key requirement in the fields of water treatment and membrane technology. Polyimide (PI) possesses excellent mechanical properties, easy structural design, hydrolysis resistance, radiation resistance, solvent resistance, and high-temperature resistance, making it widely applicable in aerospace, electronics, and biomedicine. Meanwhile, nanofiber membranes prepared by electrospinning not only exhibit excellent structural controllability but also possess high porosity, which helps to significantly improve water treatment efficiency.

[0003] However, PI nanofiber membranes still face several challenges in their preparation and practical applications. First, obtaining electrospun membranes with uniform fiber morphology places high demands on the polyamic acid (PAA) spinning solution. PAA spinning solutions with low molecular weight or low solid content are prone to producing numerous beaded morphologies or failing to form films during electrospinning, while spinning solutions with high molecular weight and high solid content have excessive viscosity, making electrospinning difficult. Therefore, the properties of the spinning solution are crucial process parameters for preparing PI nanofiber membranes with uniform morphology and stable performance. Second, nanofiber membranes prepared by electrospinning often exhibit poor overall mechanical properties due to uneven fiber morphology and random arrangement. Furthermore, PI itself has a relatively rigid structure and strong intermolecular forces, resulting in insufficient toughness and susceptibility to damage during long-term use, limiting its stability and durability. To improve the mechanical properties of PI nanofiber membranes, researchers have explored various methods, including monomer design, crosslinking, and blending modification; however, these methods are typically costly, complex, and lack versatility. Therefore, improving the spinnability of PAA spinning solution and the mechanical properties of PI nanofiber membranes through simple, controllable, and universal process optimization has important scientific and practical significance for the design, preparation, and application of PI electrospun nanofiber membranes. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention provides a high-toughness polyimide nanofiber film and its preparation method.

[0005] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a method for preparing a high-toughness polyimide nanofiber film. This method includes a step of synthesizing polyamic acid (PAA) and a step of regulating the properties of a spinning solution containing the polyamic acid. The mixed solvent used for regulating the properties of the spinning solution is selected from at least two of N,N-dimethylformamide, N,N-dimethylacetamide, N-methylpyrrolidone, dimethyl sulfoxide, 1,4-dioxane, methanol, ethanol, toluene, chloroform, tetrahydrofuran, n-hexane, n-heptane, and n-decane. The present invention discovers that by regulating the composition of the solvent in the PAA spinning solution, the properties of the spinning solution are significantly affected. Without changing the solid content of the PAA spinning solution, the viscosity of the spinning solution can be increased or decreased as needed to obtain a PAA spinning solution with better spinnability. This regulation can optimize the morphology of the fibers, causing a large number of bead defects to disappear in fibers prepared from PAA spinning solutions with low solid content or low molecular weight. The uniform fiber morphology can directly promote the improvement of the mechanical properties of the nanofiber membrane.

[0006] Preferably, the method for preparing the high-toughness polyimide nanofiber film includes the following steps:

[0008] 2) Controlling the properties of the spinning solution: The high-solids-content polyamic acid solution is mixed with the mixed solvent and stirred to obtain a polyamic acid spinning solution.

[0009] 3) Preparation of polyamic acid nanofiber membrane: The polyamic acid spinning solution is electrospun to obtain a polyamic acid nanofiber membrane.

[0010] 4) Preparation of polyimide nanofiber membrane: The polyamic acid nanofiber membrane is thermally imidized to obtain a high-toughness polyimide (PI) nanofiber film.

[0011] Preferably, in step 2), the mixed solvent includes a first solvent and a second solvent, wherein the first solvent is selected from one or more of N,N-dimethylacetamide, N-methylpyrrolidone, dimethyl sulfoxide, 1,4-dioxane, methanol, ethanol, toluene, chloroform, tetrahydrofuran, n-hexane, n-heptane, and n-decane; and / or, the second solvent is N,N-dimethylformamide.

[0016] The molar ratio of the aromatic dianhydride to the diamine is preferably 0.96:1 to 1.03:1, with a more suitable ratio such as 1.01:1, to ensure an equal number of groups between the anhydride and the amino group, thereby better increasing the molecular weight of the synthesized PAA.

[0017] Preferably, the solvent of the polyamic acid solution is one or more of N,N-dimethylformamide, N,N-dimethylacetamide, N-methylpyrrolidone, and dimethyl sulfoxide; the mass fraction of the polyamic acid solution is 10-20 wt%.

After spinning, the fiber film is torn off with pointed tweezers and cut into any shape and size with surgical scissors.

[0024] Further preferred, in step 4), thermal imidization is carried out by a staged heating method; preferably, the temperature is increased to 70-90 ℃ at a heating rate of 3-8 ℃ / min and held for 30-50 min, then increased to 130-170 ℃ for 0.8-1.2 h and held for 1-1.2 h, then increased to 330-370 ℃ for 0.8-1.2 h and held for 1-1.2 h.

[0025] According to a specific embodiment of the present invention, the imidization method of the polyamic acid film is a staged heating thermal imidization. The specific process parameters include: heating from room temperature to 80°C at a heating rate of 5°C / min and holding for 40 min; heating from 80°C to 150°C for 1 h and holding for 1 h; heating from 150°C to 350°C for 1 h and holding for 1 h; and natural cooling. By using the above-mentioned staged heating thermal imidization, it is possible to ensure that PAA is completely imidized into PI.

[0026] In this invention, a high-strength, high-toughness, high-porosity, and uniform PI nanofiber membrane can be prepared using the above method. Compared with PI nanofiber membranes without spinning solution property control, the fiber morphology is significantly improved after control, with beads gradually decreasing and disappearing, and the fiber morphology becoming increasingly uniform. The tensile strength of the corresponding fiber membrane can be increased from 2 MPa to 30 MPa, and the elongation at break can be increased from 8% to 60%. Benefiting from its improved mechanical properties and the solvent resistance and high-temperature resistance of PI, the PI nanofiber membrane can be used as a self-supporting film for oil-water separation applications, demonstrating recyclability and hot oil separation capabilities.

Unlike many reported methods for improving the mechanical properties of PI, such as monomer design, crosslinking, and blending modification, this method of controlling the spinning solution does not require complex post-treatment, the process is simple and easy to implement, and it can serve as a general method, which has significant scientific value for guiding the design of electrospun membrane systems and the adjustment of process parameters.
