Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of glass fibers, in particular to a lubricant-based modified glass fiber and application thereof in epoxy pultruded boards. Background Art

[0002] As an important glass fiber reinforced epoxy resin composite product, epoxy pultruded board has excellent mechanical properties and corrosion resistance, and is widely used in wind turbine blades, aerospace, automobile manufacturing and other fields.

[0003] When glass fiber is used as a reinforcing material for epoxy pultruded boards, the insufficient interfacial compatibility between the glass fiber and the epoxy resin can lead to insufficient bonding between the fiber and the resin, affecting the overall performance of the composite material. Furthermore, glass fiber is susceptible to mechanical damage during the pultrusion process, resulting in a decrease in strength and toughness. Lubricants can improve the fluidity and dispersibility of glass fiber during the pultrusion process, reduce friction and damage between fibers, improve fiber integrity, and enhance the performance of epoxy pultruded boards. Choosing a suitable lubricant that effectively improves the performance of glass fiber while not negatively impacting the mechanical properties of epoxy pultruded boards is a pressing issue that needs to be addressed.

[0009] S2: Tetraethyl orthosilicate and ethanol were mixed and uniformly stirred, and sodium hydroxide solution was added dropwise to adjust the pH value to obtain a tetraethyl orthosilicate solution; the plasma-treated glass fiber was immersed in the tetraethyl orthosilicate solution and reacted for 3-4 hours, and then removed and dried to obtain glass fiber A;

[0010] S3: Take amino-branched polyamide, deionized water, and ethanol, stir evenly, add glass fiber A, heat to 60-62°C, react for 15-20 minutes, filter, and dry to obtain glass fiber B;

[0018] More optimally, the mass ratio of the aqueous polyamide to deionized water is (10-15):100.

[0019] More optimally, the pH adjuster is any one or more of acetic acid, citric acid, and succinic acid.

[0020] More optimally, the coupling agent is coupling agent Y-9669 or coupling agent A-187.

[0021] More optimally, the method for preparing the plasma-treated glass fiber is as follows: taking the glass fiber, alternately rinsing the surface with deionized water and acetone, and drying to obtain the cleaned glass fiber; placing the cleaned glass fiber in a low-temperature plasma reaction device, filling it with argon, and discharging at a power of 80-85W for 3-4 minutes to obtain the plasma-treated glass fiber.

[0022] More optimally, the preparation method of the amino-branched polyamide is: take diethylenetriamine, heat it at 50-55°C for 2-3 hours, add succinic anhydride, raise the temperature to 140°C, continue heating and stirring for 3-4 hours, and cool to obtain the amino-branched polyamide.

Tetraethyl orthosilicate is then added to form nano-silica on the glass fiber surface, further increasing its surface roughness and acid and alkali resistance. The glass fiber is then surface-modified using amino-branched polyamide, improving its compatibility with lubricants. The amino groups are also loaded onto the glass fiber, forming chemical bonds with the polyamide resin used as the pultruded board substrate, enhancing the compatibility between the glass fiber and the polyamide resin, thereby improving the mechanical properties of the pultruded board.

[0133] Preparation of epoxy pultruded board:

[0134] The modified glass fibers prepared in Examples 1 to 3 and Comparative Examples 1 to 3 were respectively taken, and a prepreg process was adopted, with 65 wt% glass fiber and 35 wt% polyamide resin, molded into sheets by hot pressing rollers, and then compositely molded at 0° and 90° horizontal and vertical angles to obtain epoxy pultruded boards.

[0135] experiment:

[0136] The epoxy pultruded boards prepared in Examples 1 to 3 and Comparative Examples 1 to 3 were tested for bending strength according to ASTM D790. The obtained data are shown in the following table:

[0137] Lubricant penetration state Bending strength / MPa Example 1 good 283 Example 2 good 280 Example 3 good 285 Comparative Example 1 good 276 Comparative Example 2 good 261 Comparative Example 3 good 258

[0138] Conclusion: From the comparison of the data in the table, it can be seen that the comparative example does not perform low-temperature plasma treatment on the surface of the glass fiber, and the surface area of the glass fiber is small. Therefore, the surface load of silica and amino-branched polyamide is less, the compatibility of the modified glass fiber with the lubricant is reduced, and the compatibility of the glass fiber with the polyamide resin is reduced, resulting in a decrease in the mechanical properties of the epoxy pultruded board. Comparative Example 2 does not add tetraethyl orthosilicate, and fails to form nano-silica on the surface of the glass fiber. Its surface roughness and acid and alkali resistance are reduced, resulting in a decrease in the mechanical properties of the epoxy pultruded board. Comparative Example 3 does not use amino-branched polyamide to perform surface modification treatment on the glass fiber, and the compatibility of the glass fiber with the polyamide resin is reduced, resulting in a decrease in the mechanical properties of the epoxy pultruded board. Examples 1 to 3 of the present invention first perform low-temperature plasma treatment on the surface of the glass fiber, making the surface of the glass fiber more slightly rough and increasing the surface area of the glass fiber; then, nano-silica is formed on the surface of the glass fiber by adding tetraethyl orthosilicate, further increasing its surface roughness and acid and alkali resistance. Finally, amino-branched polyamide is used to modify the surface of the glass fiber, making the modified glass fiber more compatible with the lubricant. At the same time, amino groups are loaded on the glass fiber, and the amino groups form chemical bonds with the polyamide resin, the base material of the pultruded board, thereby enhancing the compatibility of the glass fiber and the polyamide resin, thereby enhancing the mechanical properties of the epoxy pultruded board. The present invention prepares a lubricant and a modified glass fiber based on the lubricant. Fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, triethanolamine borate, and paraffin are used to enhance the lubrication performance. Aqueous polyurethane emulsion is added to form a continuous and tough protective film, which significantly improves the wear resistance and mechanical damage resistance of the glass fiber. At this time, the lubricant of the glass fiber is well impregnated, meeting the industrial application standards.

[0139] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above and that the invention can be embodied in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of the invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered in all respects as illustrative and non-restrictive, and the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description, and it is intended that all variations that come within the meaning and range of equivalents of the claims be embraced therein.
