Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of carbon fiber finishing agents, and particularly relates to a carbon fiber precursor finishing agent without silicon compounds, a preparation method thereof, and an application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Carbon fiber is a fiber material with excellent properties such as high strength, high modulus, heat and corrosion resistance. It is widely used in fields such as aerospace, railway transportation, wind power generation, medical devices, and leisure and entertainment. Among them, polyacrylonitrile-based carbon fiber has the best performance and relatively low price, accounting for the largest proportion in the carbon fiber market.

[0003] Carbon fiber finishing agent is an important auxiliary agent used in the process of producing carbon fiber precursors and plays an important role in the production of high-performance carbon fibers. The carbon fiber finishing agent forms a uniform oil film on the surface of each single fiber. This oil film separates the single fibers from each other to prevent adhesion and filament merging; because the formed oil film has softness and self-lubricity, it can also prevent friction and wear between the filament bundle and the roller during the production process; it can prevent heat accumulation or overheating during the pre-oxidation process, resulting in local thermal adhesion or thermal filament merging between single fibers, which is helpful for forming homogeneous fibers; its oil film still has a protective effect on the fiber surface during low-temperature carbonization.

[0004] At present, most carbon fiber oils use silicon oils, because silicone oil has good performance and low price. However, there are some problems with silicon oils. The oils are pyrolyzed into SiO2 and other volatilizations, which cause dust and silicon pollution to the pre-oxidation furnace, carbonization furnace and supporting equipment; at the same time, the oils that penetrate into the fiber will generate silicides after pre-oxidation and carbonization and remain in the fiber, resulting in a decrease in the strength of the carbon fiber. Therefore, the research and development of low-silicon or non-silicon oils has become a research hotspot for oil development. Low-silicon oils are achieved by reducing the proportion of silicon in the overall oil to reduce dust and silicon pollution and reduce ash content. Although this type of oil can reduce the impact of silicon oils, silicon pollution still exists in the production process of carbon fibers using this type of oil. Non-silicon oils are mainly composed of polyesters of long-chain fatty acids and polyols and ethylene oxide adducts of long-chain fatty amides. This type of oil fundamentally solves the problem of silicon pollution in carbon fiber production. At present, patents for carbon fiber oils are mainly concentrated in silicon oils and low-silicon oils. For example: Chinese patent CN112778527A uses polyol fatty acid ester, phenyl and polyether co-modified silicone oil as the main components to obtain a low-silicone oil agent for carbon fiber; Chinese patent CN114539530A introduces long carbon chain modification on the basis of the original amino silicone oil, and uses alkane amino modified silicone oil to improve its temperature resistance, lubricity and anti-roller resistance. At the same time, due to the introduction of long carbon chains, the proportion of silicone is reduced. The active ingredients in the oils of the above patents are all modified silicone oils, which will not only cause silicon contamination of production equipment, but also reduce the performance of carbon fiber. If non-silicon components are used to prepare oils, various problems caused by silicon pollution will be fundamentally solved. Summary of the invention
