Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of high-temperature heat insulation composite materials, and particularly relates to an additive-manufactured boron phenolic aerogel multi-dimensional skeleton composite material and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Although traditional heat insulation materials such as carbon / phenolic resin composites have certain ablation resistance, they have problems such as high density (usually > 0.8 g / cm 3 ), easy cracking at high temperatures, and insufficient ablation resistance (linear ablation rate > 0.05 mm / min). Although aerogel materials are lightweight and have excellent heat insulation performance, their mechanical strength is low, making it difficult to be used alone in high-shear environments and unable to meet the stringent requirements of the new generation of hypersonic aircraft for lightweight thermal protection materials.

[0003] In the prior art, for traditional heat insulation carbon / phenolic resin composites, the mechanical properties of resin-based composites are increased by introducing ceramic skeletons. For example, in the article "Preparation and Mechanical Properties of Three-Dimensional Network Ceramic Skeleton Reinforced Resin Matrix Composites" by Pan Meijuan, epoxy resin was infiltrated into a three-dimensional network ceramic skeleton under vacuum pressure to successfully prepare a new type of SiC 3D / epoxy resin composite material; in order to obtain better mechanical properties of such composites, the coupling agent KH550 was used to modify the interface of the two phases of the composites. The results showed that the density of the prepared composite material was 2.85 g / cm 3 , the relative density could reach more than 99%, and its compressive strength was 250 MPa. In the article "Preparation and Properties of Three-Dimensional Network SiC Ceramic / Al Composites" by Xiao Qing, a three-dimensional network SiC ceramic was first prepared by the organic foam impregnation method, with a porosity of 80% and a strength of 3.42 MPa, which could be used to prepare composites; subsequently, a three-dimensional network SiC ceramic / Al composite material was prepared by the in-situ reaction pressureless infiltration method; it was found that the incorporation of Mg affected the infiltration depth of the material. When its content was less than 5%, the infiltration effect was poor, and an addition amount of 8% was more appropriate; the addition of Si powder could control the interfacial reaction of the composite material and inhibit the formation of Al4C3 on the interface. By adjusting these experimental conditions, a three-dimensional network SiC ceramic / Al composite material with good interfacial bonding was prepared, with a maximum density of 2.784 g / cm 3 and a thermal conductivity of 165.38 W / m·K, and the compressive strength reached 832 MPa. For example, Application No. 201910777436.4 provides an aerogel and a preparation method and application thereof, a high-temperature heat insulation material or a lightweight heat insulation / heat protection material. The aerogel includes a phenolic skeleton and a zirconia skeleton, and the zirconia skeleton is uniformly distributed in the phenolic skeleton, and the phenolic skeleton and the zirconia skeleton form a molecular network structure.

[0004] The above-prepared ceramic-skeleton-reinforced composite material increases the mechanical properties of the resin-based composite material by introducing a ceramic skeleton, but the interface combination between the skeleton and the matrix is poor, and it is difficult to control the pore structure. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To solve the above problems, the present invention provides an additive-manufactured boron phenolic aerogel multi-dimensional skeleton composite material and a preparation method thereof.

[0006] The present invention solves the above technical problems through the following technical solutions.

[0010] Further, the gradient drying method adopts three-stage drying. The drying temperature in the first stage is 30°C to 500°C, and the time is 10 h to 14 h. The curing temperature in the second stage is 55°C to 65°C, and the time is 5 h to 8 h. The curing temperature in the third stage is 70°C to 90°C, and the time is 2 h to 4 h.

[0011] Further, the porosity of the porous skeleton is 60% to 85%, and the pore diameter is 10 μm to 200 μm.

[0012] Further, the dosage ratio of the boron-modified phenolic resin prepolymer, the first amine catalyst, and the solvent is 1 g: 0.02 g to 0.4 g: 2 mL to 25 mL. The first amine catalyst is triethylamine, ethylenediamine, or hexamethylenetetramine, and the curing temperature is 240°C to 260°C.

[0013] Further, the preparation method of the boron-modified phenolic resin prepolymer includes the following steps: Step 1. Mix boric acid and phenol and perform an esterification reaction to obtain a borate ester.

[0014] Step 2: mixing boric acid ester, polyformaldehyde and a second amine catalyst to form a reaction system, and performing a polymerization reaction to form a prepolymer.

[0015] Furthermore, the molar ratio of boric acid to phenol is 1:3-5, the temperature of the esterification reaction is 100°C-130°C, and the time is 2h-4h.

[0016] Furthermore, the molar ratio of borate ester to paraformaldehyde is 1:1.2-1.5, the polymerization temperature is 80°C-100°C, and the time is 2h-4h.

[0017] Furthermore, the amount of the second amine catalyst used is 0.5wt.% to 2wt.% of the total mass of the reaction system, and the amine catalyst is triethylamine, ethylenediamine or hexamethylenetetramine.

[0018] Furthermore, the sintering temperature is 1600° C. to 1800° C., and the sintering time is 2 h to 4 h.

[0019] The second object of the present invention is to provide a boron phenolic aerogel multi-dimensional skeleton composite material, which is prepared by the above-mentioned preparation method.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: The method for preparing a boron phenolic aerogel multi-dimensional skeleton composite material provided by the present invention is based on the coordinated design of a boron-modified phenolic resin and a ZrB2 ceramic skeleton, prepares a ZrB2 ceramic skeleton by 3D printing technology, prepares a boron-modified phenolic resin sol by a sol-gel method, and pioneers a pressurized potting-gradient drying process, injects a boron-modified phenolic resin sol (boron phenolic aerogel precursor solution) into the skeleton pores under a pressure of 0.2MPa to 2MPa, and uses a gradient drying and curing method so that the aerogel fully penetrates the skeleton pores under pressurized potting to form a chemical bonding interface, a dense interface bonding, and avoids high-temperature stratification, and finally forms a ceramic-aerogel interpenetrating network structure. The prepared boron phenolic aerogel multi-dimensional skeleton composite material has a ZrB2 skeleton that provides a high-temperature antioxidant barrier, and the nanoporous structure of the aerogel effectively blocks heat flow, and the synergistic effect reduces the linear ablation rate by one order of magnitude compared with traditional materials.

[0025] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0026] It should be noted that the professional terms used in the present invention are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments, and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present invention. Unless otherwise specifically stated, various raw materials, reagents, instruments, and equipment used in the following embodiments of the present invention can be obtained through the market or prepared by existing methods.

[0027] Although the existing ceramic skeleton reinforced composite materials can improve the mechanical properties, the interface between the skeleton and the matrix is poorly combined, the pore structure regulation is difficult, and the preparation process is complex. Based on the above problems, the present invention provides a preparation method for an additive manufacturing boron phenolic aerogel multi-dimensional skeleton composite material, including the following steps:

[0028] S1. Using zirconium boride ceramic slurry as the raw material, performing photocuring 3D printing to form a zirconium boride ceramic skeleton precursor, and sintering it in a protective atmosphere to obtain a porous skeleton.

[0029] S2. Adopting the sol-gel method, dissolving the boron-modified phenolic resin prepolymer in a solvent, and then adding a first amine catalyst to form a boron phenolic aerogel precursor solution.

[0030] S3. In a pressure-sealing manner, fill the porous framework with the boron phenolic aerogel precursor solution at 0.2 MPa to 2 MPa, and perform curing after gradient drying to obtain the boron phenolic aerogel multi-dimensional framework composite material.

[0031] The preparation method of the boron phenolic aerogel multi-dimensional framework composite material provided by the present invention is based on the collaborative design of boron-modified phenolic resin and ZrB2 ceramic framework. The ZrB2 ceramic framework is prepared by 3D printing technology, and the boron-modified phenolic resin sol is prepared by the sol-gel method. The pressure-sealing - gradient drying process is pioneered. Under the pressure of 0.2 MPa to 2 MPa, the boron-modified phenolic resin sol (boron phenolic aerogel precursor solution) is injected into the pores of the framework, and after gradient drying and curing, the aerogel fully penetrates the pores of the framework under pressure-sealing to form a chemical bonding interface, forming a dense interface combination, avoiding high-temperature delamination, and finally forming a ceramic-aerogel interpenetrating network structure. For the prepared boron phenolic aerogel multi-dimensional framework composite material, its ZrB2 framework provides a high-temperature antioxidant barrier, and the nano-porous structure of the aerogel effectively blocks heat flow. The synergistic effect reduces the linear ablation rate by one order of magnitude compared with traditional materials.

[0032] In a specific embodiment, the gradient drying method adopts three-stage drying and curing. The temperature of the first-stage drying is 30°C to 50°C, and the time is 10 h to 14 h. The temperature of the second-stage drying is 55°C to 65°C, and the time is 5 h to 8 h. The temperature of the third-stage drying is 70°C to 90°C, and the time is 2 h to 4 h. It should be noted that the present invention adopts the vacuum pressure-sealing - gradient drying process. Through the three-stage drying method, the boron phenolic aerogel fully penetrates the pores of the framework under pressure-sealing to form a chemical bonding interface, forming a dense interface combination, avoiding high-temperature delamination, and finally forming a ceramic-aerogel interpenetrating network structure. Among them, the gradient drying adopts the critical CO2 drying method. For the obtained aerogel, the density of the aerogel is 0.1 g / cm 3 ~0.12 g / cm 3 .

[0033] In a specific embodiment, the porosity of the porous framework is 60% to 85%, and the pore diameter is 10 μm to 200 μm. It should be noted that during the preparation of the porous framework, zirconium boride ceramic slurry is prepared by mixing nano-ZrB2 powder (D 50 = 200 nm) and photosensitive resin in a volume ratio of 7:3. After forming by 3D printing technology (DLP printing), among them, during the 3D printing process, the layer thickness is 20 μm to 50 μm, and the light intensity is 8 mW / cm 2 ~12 mW / cm 2, a porous framework is obtained through parameter optimization and sintering in a protective atmosphere to achieve a high porosity of the porous framework, and a multi-level pore structure with a pore size of 10 μm to 200 μm is formed to ensure effective perfusion of the aerogel. In a preferred embodiment, during the 3D printing process, the layer thickness is 40 μm and the light intensity is 10 mW / cm 2 .

[0034] In a specific embodiment, the dosage ratio of the boron-modified phenolic resin prepolymer, the first amine catalyst, and the solvent is 1 g: 0.02 g to 0.4 g: 2 mL to 25 mL. The first amine catalyst is triethylamine, ethylenediamine, or hexamethylenetetramine, and the curing temperature is 240°C to 260°C.

[0035] In a specific embodiment, the preparation method of the boron-modified phenolic resin prepolymer includes the following steps: Step 1, mix boric acid and phenol and carry out an esterification reaction to obtain a borate ester.

[0036] Step 2, mix the borate ester, paraformaldehyde, and the second amine catalyst to form a reaction system and carry out a polymerization reaction to form a prepolymer.

[0037] It should be noted that in the present invention, the hydroxyl group of boric acid undergoes a condensation reaction with the hydroxyl group of phenol. Under the action of the second amine catalyst, paraformaldehyde decomposes into formaldehyde, and formaldehyde undergoes an electrophilic substitution reaction with the free phenolic hydroxyl group remaining in the borate ester to generate a hydroxymethylphenol structure prepolymer. The reaction efficiency of the preparation method is high, the yield is above 80%, and the polymer molecular weight is about 500.

[0038] In a specific embodiment, the molar ratio of boric acid to phenol is 1: 3 to 5, the temperature of the esterification reaction is 100°C to 130°C, and the time is 2 h to 4 h. It should be noted that in the present invention, by controlling the dosage of boric acid, the boron content of the boron-modified phenolic resin prepolymer is controlled at 5 wt.% to 8 wt.%, which not only maintains the carbon-forming characteristics of the resin matrix but also enhances the thermal stability through the B-O bond.

[0039] In a specific embodiment, the molar ratio of the borate ester to paraformaldehyde is 1: 1.2 to 1.5, the temperature of the polymerization reaction is 80°C to 100°C, and the time is 2 h to 4 h.

[0040] In a specific embodiment, the dosage of the second amine catalyst is 0.5 wt.% to 2 wt.% of the total mass of the reaction system, and the second amine catalyst is triethylamine, ethylenediamine, or hexamethylenetetramine.

[0041] In a specific embodiment, the sintering temperature is 1600°C to 1800°C, and the time is 2 h to 5 h.

[0042] In addition, the present invention also provides a boron phenolic aerogel multi-dimensional skeleton composite material, which has ultra-light characteristics: the composite density ≤ 0.50 g / cm 3 , which is more than 58.3% lower than that of traditional materials; ablation resistance: the oxyacetylene ablation test at 1000 °C shows that the linear ablation rate ≤ 0.01 mm / min, and the back temperature rise rate is reduced to 15 °C / s; structural stability: the strength retention rate > 85% after the thermal shock test (1000 °C → room temperature, 50 cycles); it is applicable to the thermal protection system in extreme thermal environments in the aerospace field.
