Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a continuous preparation method of polyacrylonitrile resin with narrow molecular weight distribution, belonging to the field of synthesis of polyacrylonitrile resin for carbon fiber. Background Art

[0002] Carbon fiber is a special high-performance fiber composed of carbon elements, with a carbon content of more than 90%, high specific strength and high specific modulus. It has a series of comprehensive properties such as low density, high temperature resistance, friction resistance, electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, corrosion resistance, radiation resistance, and good damping, and is widely used in military and civilian fields. Among the three types of carbon fibers that have been industrialized, polyacrylonitrile-based carbon fiber has become the most used type of carbon fiber due to its excellent comprehensive properties such as strength, high carbonization yield, and simple production process, and its output accounts for more than 90% of the total carbon fiber.

[0003] The molecular weight distribution of polyacrylonitrile resin has a great influence on its material properties, spinning process conditions and final product quality. The molecular weight distribution is expressed as the ratio of weight average molecular weight to number average molecular weight (M w / M n ) indicates that a molecular weight distribution less than 1.5 is generally referred to as a narrow distribution, while a molecular weight distribution greater than 1.5 is referred to as a wide distribution. The wider the molecular weight distribution, the higher the polymer content with excessively high or low polymerization. Oligomers play a role of plasticization, destroying the orderliness of the original fiber structure. During the pre-oxidation process, a large amount of small molecular decomposition products and tar-like substances will be produced. These substances adhere to the fiber surface and cause pollution, which is not conducive to the subsequent pre-oxidation and energy transfer in the carbonization process. At present, the preparation of polyacrylonitrile resin with a narrow molecular weight distribution has become an important research topic in the field of polyacrylonitrile resin synthesis for carbon fiber.

[0004] There are many methods for preparing polyacrylonitrile resin, which are generally synthesized based on the traditional free radical polymerization mechanism, using solutions polymerization, emulsion polymerization, suspension polymerization and bulk polymerization. Among them, solution polymerization is a polymerization reaction carried out in a solvent that can dissolve both monomers and initiators and the polymers generated after the reaction. It is a commonly used polymerization method in the industrial production of polyacrylonitrile. However, traditional solution polymerization can only obtain polymers with a wide molecular weight distribution, which seriously affects the performance of the final product of polyacrylonitrile resin. At present, living polymerization technology is the most ideal process for controlling the molecular weight distribution of polymers, mainly including cationic polymerization, anionic polymerization and free radical living polymerization. The properties of acrylonitrile monomer itself make it impossible to achieve cationic living polymerization; anionic polymerization has very strict requirements on reaction conditions, and the reaction process is complicated, and the industrialization cost is high; the initiator or chain transfer agent used in free radical living polymerization is not easy to prepare and preserve, and is sensitive to oxygen or water. Chen Hou et al. published a method for preparing narrow molecular weight distribution polyacrylonitrile resin by reverse atom transfer radical active polymerization in a patent with authorization announcement number CN100532410C. This method uses organic acid and high-valent metal halide as the catalytic system, has strict reaction conditions, complex process and long reaction time.

[0005] At present, there have been many reports on the synthesis of polyacrylonitrile resin for carbon fiber, but the shortcomings of its preparation method are also obvious, such as: harsh reaction conditions, cumbersome operation, long reaction time, discontinuous reaction, low production efficiency, wide polymer molecular weight distribution, etc. In view of this, it is necessary to develop a simple, fast, efficient, economical and safe continuous process technology to achieve high-throughput production of polyacrylonitrile resin.
