Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of novel ceramic material preparation technology, specifically relating to an easily stored metal-modified polycarbosilane precursor, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] Ceramic matrix composites have broad application prospects in the field of aerospace thermal structure materials due to their excellent properties such as low density, high strength, and resistance to high temperatures and corrosion. However, binary ceramic systems, represented by silicon carbide ceramics, cannot provide effective protection over a wide temperature range when used as the matrix of composite materials. Their thermal shock performance at peak temperatures is insufficient to meet the requirements of aircraft operating on multiple flights. This is mainly because silicon carbide-based composites inevitably contain defects such as pores. Oxidizing media such as oxygen and water can diffuse through these channels to the interfaces and fibers of the composite material, causing oxidative damage and degradation of the silicon carbide fibers and their interface layers. Since fibers and interfaces are the load-bearing and load-transfer units of the composite material, their damage directly leads to a decline in the composite material's performance and a shortened service life.

[0003] Existing literature reports that introducing multiple high-melting-point metal elements into a silicon carbide ceramic matrix gradually forms various oxides under progressively increasing oxidation temperatures, creating a gradient glassy protective layer. This can seal the pores of the composite material over a wide temperature range, effectively protecting it and significantly expanding its operating temperature range, thus achieving the goal of reusable ceramic matrix composites. However, existing reports typically employ simple physical mixing methods to introduce inorganic compounds such as metal carbides, or use expensive organic materials to synthesize precursors under harsh conditions. Furthermore, the resulting precursors are hygroscopic and inconvenient to store.

[0004] Precursor conversion (also known as precursor pyrolysis or precursor polymer impregnation pyrolysis) is a process for preparing ceramic matrix composites that has emerged in recent decades. This method has advantages such as simple molding processes and low preparation temperatures. Furthermore, the ceramic products obtained through the pyrolysis of liquid precursor solutions exhibit uniform composition and can be controlled at the atomic / molecular scale. Chinese patent CN115180950B (Central South University, Wang Yalei's team) utilizes the precursor conversion method to convert single-source precursors (such as (Ti, Zr, Hf)C / SiC ceramic precursors) prepared from multiple metal element complexes (such as tetrakis(dimethylamino) metal salts and tetrakis(diethylamino) metal salts) into multi-element carbide / silicon carbide nanocomposite ceramic powders at high temperatures. This effectively solves the problems of multi-element single-phase solid solution, uneven distribution of nano-ceramic phases, and grain coarsening, significantly improving the mechanical properties and oxidation and ablation resistance of the composite material. However, this method uses high-cost raw materials and carries significant safety risks in the synthesis process, making it difficult to scale up production.

[0005] In summary, there are currently few safe, low-cost, and mild methods for preparing mono-source multi-metal-doped modified polycarbosilane precursors. There is an urgent need to develop a method for preparing metal-modified polycarbosilane precursors that is simple in preparation steps, mild in conditions, easy to control, and low in cost, while improving the storage stability of mono-source polymer precursors. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The main technical problem solved by this invention is to provide a method for preparing metal-modified polycarbosilane precursors. Compared with existing methods, the raw materials used are inexpensive, the synthesis process is mild, the operation is simple, the amount of metal element introduced is flexible and adjustable, and the prepared single-source multi-metal modified polymer precursor can be stored at room temperature for a long time and is not easily absorbing water and moisture.

[0007] Meanwhile, this invention provides a metal-modified polycarbosilane precursor and its application.

[0008] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0009] A method for preparing an easily storable metal-modified polycarbosilane precursor includes the following steps:

[0010] (Solid) boron-modified polycarbosilane was dissolved in a solvent to obtain a solution;

[0011] A metal alkoxide and a metallocerochlore were added to the solution, and the mixture was heated under a protective atmosphere to obtain a metal-modified polycarbosilane precursor.

[0012] This invention uses (solid) boron-modified polycarbosilane as a raw material. After preparing a solution, (sec-)butoxide and dichlorodicyclopentadiene salts of the corresponding metals are added to the solution according to the desired metal content. The reaction is carried out under a protective atmosphere until the solution becomes clear and transparent, yielding a multi-metal-doped polycarbosilane precursor. The single-source multi-metal modified polymer precursor prepared by this method has the characteristics of adjustable metal element content in derived ceramics and excellent high-temperature oxidation resistance. The prepared solution is suitable as an impregnating agent for the PIP process to prepare metal-modified ceramic matrix composites or ceramic matrix coatings. The method of this invention has simple preparation steps, mild conditions, convenient control, and low cost, making it easy to scale up and apply.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the boron-modified polycarbosilane is prepared using the method disclosed in patent CN114957675B (China Aviation Manufacturing Research Institute), or the method disclosed in other (patent or non-patent) documents.

[0014] Specifically, the preparation method of the boron-modified polycarbosilane includes the following steps:

[0015] (1) Prepare an organic solution of solid polycarbosilane (PCS);

[0016] The mass concentration of solid polycarbosilane in the solution is 10-80 wt%.

[0017] The organic solvent is a hydrocarbon solvent or an ether solvent;

[0018] (2) Under an inert atmosphere, the organic solution and hexamethyldisilazane monomer are simultaneously added dropwise to the boron trichloride organic solution to carry out the reaction;

[0019] Boron trichloride can be used in hydrocarbon solvents or ether solvents;

[0020] The reaction is divided into an initial stage and a stable stage. For either the organic solution or the hexamethyldisilazane monomer, the dropping rate in the initial stage is lower than that in the stable stage. In the initial stage, a white mist-like byproduct is generated. The reaction temperature is controlled at -20 to 10°C using a cooling device. After the mist-like byproduct disappears, the stable stage begins. The dropping rate is increased, and the reaction temperature is controlled at 10 to 90°C.

[0021] (3) The mixture after the reaction is subjected to vacuum distillation to obtain a porous solid material;

[0022] The temperature for vacuum distillation is 20-250℃;

[0023] (4) The porous solid material is broken into powder by external force, which is boron modified polycarbosilane powder.

[0024] Specifically, the hydrocarbon solvent is selected from one or more of xylene, n-hexane, n-heptane, etc. The ether solvent is selected from one or more of tetrahydrofuran, 2-methyl-tetrahydrofuran, butyl ether, etc. Other preparation conditions and parameters can be found in patent CN114957675B.

[0025] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the solvent is selected from one or more of N,N-dimethylformamide, xylene, n-hexane, diethylene glycol dimethyl ether, toluene, tetrahydrofuran, etc.

[0028] Specifically, the amount of the metal alkoxide added is 1-30 wt% of the mass of the boron-modified polycarbosilane, preferably 5-20 wt%.

[0029] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the dichlorodicyclopentene metal is selected from one or more of dichlorodicyclopentene titanium, dichlorodicyclopentene zirconium, dichlorodicyclopentene hafnium, etc.

[0030] Specifically, the amount of dichlorodicyclopentene added is 1-30 wt% of the mass of boron-modified polycarbosilane, preferably 10-25 wt%.

[0031] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the heating reaction temperature is controlled at 60-150°C, and the reaction time is 0.5-12 hours. Preferably, the reaction is carried out at 80-120°C for 2-6 hours.

[0032] Specifically, the heating reaction is carried out under stirring conditions. At the beginning of the reaction, the solution is turbid and contains obvious insoluble matter. As the reaction continues, the insoluble matter gradually dissolves, and the solution eventually becomes clear and transparent. After heating and stirring are stopped and the solution is cooled to room temperature, it remains clear and transparent, thus obtaining the metal-modified polycarbosilane precursor solution.

[0033] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, after the heating reaction is completed, the solvent is removed from the reaction product to obtain (fluffy and crispy) metal-modified polycarbosilane precursor powder.

[0034] Specifically, the solvent removal is performed using a rotary evaporation system, with the heating temperature controlled at 60-150℃, preferably 80-120℃, until no liquid evaporates.

[0035] A metal-modified polycarbosilane precursor prepared by the above method.

[0036] Applications of a metal-modified polycarbosilane precursor, including but not limited to one or more of the following:

[0037] (1) Application in the preparation of ceramic matrix composites;

[0038] (2) Application in the preparation of ceramic-based coatings;

[0039] (3) Application in the preparation of ceramic fibers;

[0040] (4) Application in the preparation of bulk ceramics.

[0041] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the application includes the following steps:

[0042] The metal-modified polycarbosilane precursor is dissolved in a solvent to obtain a solution; or the metal-modified polycarbosilane precursor solution without removing the solvent is used directly.

[0043] Using a metal-modified polycarbosilane precursor solution as an impregnating agent, ceramic matrix composites or ceramic matrix coatings are prepared by a precursor polymer impregnation-pyrolysis (PIP) process.

[0044] Specifically, the solvent is selected from one or more of N,N-dimethylformamide, xylene, n-hexane, diethylene glycol dimethyl ether, toluene, tetrahydrofuran, etc.

[0045] Specifically, the mass concentration of the metal-modified polycarbosilane precursor in the solution is 10-80 wt%, preferably 40-60 wt%.

[0046] Specifically, the pyrolysis temperature of the PIP process is above 800°C.

[0047] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the application further includes the following steps:

[0048] A second phase is introduced during the preparation process to enhance and toughen ceramic matrix composites or ceramic matrix coatings.

[0049] Specifically, the raw materials used to introduce the second phase include, but are not limited to, one or more of nanoparticles, whiskers, and fibers.

[0050] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

The raw materials used are inexpensive, safe, and reliable; the synthesis process is mild and simple; the amount of metal elements introduced is flexibly adjustable, facilitating large-scale production. Furthermore, the prepared polymer precursors can be stored at room temperature for extended periods without absorbing moisture. Composite materials prepared using this single-source multi-metal modified polycarbosilane precursor ensure that the introduction of metal elements into the matrix does not introduce new defects. The ceramic matrix exhibits uniform and stable properties, guaranteeing excellent and stable basic mechanical properties of the composite material. In oxidizing environments, compared to unmodified ceramic matrices, the introduction of boron (B) and other metal elements allows the matrix to gradually form multiple oxide blocking phases at progressively increasing temperatures. This prevents the intrusion of oxidizing media such as water and oxygen, protecting fibers and interfaces from corrosion and improving the high-temperature oxidation resistance of the ceramic matrix composite material.

[0053] (1) The reaction raw materials used in this invention are all common commercial chemical raw materials, which are readily available and have low unit prices.

[0054] (2) The present invention uses boron-modified polycarbosilane with fewer active groups as the base raw material. The preparation operation is simple and the conditions are mild, which is conducive to large-scale production.

[0055] (3) The amount of metal element introduced in the preparation of metal-modified polycarbosilane by the present invention can be flexibly adjusted by the feeding ratio. The prepared metal-modified polycarbosilane is suitable for a variety of common organic solvents, such as xylene, toluene, tetrahydrofuran, etc., and is easy to prepare into precursor solutions.

[0056] (4) The metal-modified polycarbosilane precursor powder prepared by the present invention can be stored at room temperature for a long time, is not easy to absorb water and moisture, has stable properties, and is easy to store and transport.

[0057] (5) The precursor solution prepared by the metal-modified polycarbosilane of the present invention can be used as an impregnating agent for preparing ceramic matrix composites and is suitable for preparing metal-modified silicon carbide ceramic matrix composites by PIP process.
