Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of polyaryletherketone (PAEK) material modification technology, specifically to a low-temperature resistant PAEK composite material and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] Polyaryletherketones (PEEKs) are a class of crystalline polymers composed of phenylene rings linked by oxygen bridges (ether bonds) and carbonyl groups (ketones). Based on the different sequences and ratios of ether bonds, ketone groups, and benzene rings in the molecular chain, they are mainly classified into the following varieties: polyetheretherketone (PEEK), polyetherketone (PEK), polyetherketoneketone (PEKK), polyetheretherketoneketone (PEEKK), and polyetherketoneetherketoneketone (PEKEKK). The rigid benzene rings in the PEEK molecular structure give it excellent high-temperature performance, mechanical properties, electrical insulation, radiation resistance, and chemical corrosion resistance; while the ether bonds in its molecular structure provide flexibility. Among the PEEK series, the lower the ratio of ether bonds to ketone groups (E / K) in the molecular chain, the higher its melting point and glass transition temperature. Polyetheretherketone (PEEK), as a semi-crystalline special engineering plastic, is widely used in aerospace, medical devices, energy equipment, and other fields. With the rapid development of extreme low-temperature scenarios such as liquid hydrogen (-253℃) and liquid nitrogen (-196℃) (e.g., liquid oxygen / liquid hydrogen tanks for commercial rockets and cryogenic support systems for superconducting magnets), the limitations caused by the low-temperature brittleness of traditional PAEK materials are gradually being exposed.

[0003] Existing technologies often use fillers for modification, but there are significant drawbacks to improving the low-temperature performance of PAEK by adding fillers such as fibers or particles: glass fiber (GF) modification leads to low-temperature thermal stress concentration due to the large difference in the interfacial thermal expansion coefficients between GF and PEEK; carbon fiber (CF) modification can improve the modulus, but the high modulus results in low stress transfer efficiency at low temperatures, and the conductivity of CF is not suitable for insulation applications; the addition of traditional toughening agents (such as PTFE) leads to a decrease in the material's creep resistance, making it unable to meet long-term pressure requirements. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention provides a PAEK composite material resistant to ultra-low temperatures and its preparation method. This invention utilizes phosphorus-doped hexagonal boron nitride (P-BN) in conjunction with the blending modification of polyethersulfone (PES) microspheres and aramid fibers. Under extreme low-temperature conditions, the composite material exhibits advantages such as high strength, high toughness, and low thermal stress.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention is implemented through the following technical solution:

[0006] A cryogenic PAEK composite material comprising the following 100% by weight of materials:

[0007] PAEK resin 60%-75%

[0008] Polyethersulfone resin 5%-10%,

[0009] 10%-20% of aramid fibers were pretreated with surface carboxylation.

[0010] 5%-10% of sheet-like thermally conductive fillers with a thermal conductivity of at least 400 W / m·K.

[0011] Coupling agent 0.5%-1%.

[0012] Furthermore, the sheet-like thermally conductive filler is selected from phosphorus-doped hexagonal boron nitride, with a phosphorus content of 3wt%-5wt%, a sheet thickness of 20-50nm, and an aspect ratio of at least 300. A phosphorus content <3wt% results in insufficient PN bond density and limited improvement in impact resistance; a phosphorus content >5wt% leads to excessive phosphorus damaging the layered structure of BN, decreasing thermal conductivity, and accelerating interface aging due to the oxidation of free phosphorus. A phosphorus content of 3wt%-5wt% represents the optimal window for low-temperature modification of PAEK, maximizing low-temperature toughening, enhanced thermal conductivity, and interface strengthening while ensuring the stability of the P-BN structure. Method for obtaining phosphorus-doped hexagonal boron nitride: Using boron phosphate (BPO4) as a solid-phase boron-phosphorus source, the temperature is raised to 1000-1100℃ under an inert gas protective atmosphere and the reaction is held for 0.5-2h. Then, a nitrogen source of ammonia (NH3) or nitrogen (N2) is introduced, and the reaction is continued at the holding temperature for 30-60 minutes. The product is taken out, ultrasonically treated in ethanol, filtered and dried to obtain phosphorus-doped hexagonal boron nitride with a sheet thickness of about 20-50nm and an aspect ratio of at least 300. The flow rate of the nitrogen source is 200-500sccm, and the flow rate of the inert gas protective atmosphere is 800-1000sccm.

[0013] Furthermore, the PAEK resin is selected from one or more resins selected from polyetheretherketone (PEEK), polyetherketone (PEK), polyetherketoneketone (PEKK), polyetheretherketoneketone (PEEKK), and polyetherketoneetherketoneketone (PEKEKK), with a resin particle size not exceeding 200 micrometers and a melt index of 10-50 g / 10 min under test conditions of 380°C and a load of 2.16 kg.

[0014] Furthermore, the particle size of the polyethersulfone resin does not exceed 50 micrometers; the length of the aramid fiber is 100-300 micrometers and the diameter is 10-15 micrometers; the coupling agent is selected from phosphate coupling agents.

[0015] Furthermore, the coupling agent is selected from one or more of the following: tetraisopropyl di(dioctylphosphoyloxy)titanate, a compound of di(2-ethylhexyl) phosphate and triethanolamine, a chelate of dioctyloxypyrophosphate titanate and triethanolamine, octadecyl phosphate, isopropyl tri(dioctylphosphoyloxy)titanate, isopropyl tri(dioctylphosphoyloxy)titanate, bis(dioctyloxypyrophosphate)ethylene titanate, 2-fluoro-1,3-dimethylimidazolium chloride hexafluorophosphate, and isopropylated triphenyl phosphate.

[0016] The preparation method of the above-mentioned ultra-low temperature resistant PAEK composite material includes the following steps:

[0017] S1. Prepare materials according to the formula; pretreat the sheet-like thermally conductive filler with a thermal conductivity of at least 400 W / m·K with polyethersulfone resin using a phosphate coupling agent to obtain the first material;

[0018] A second material is obtained by introducing carboxyl groups onto the surface of aramid fibers;

[0019] S2. PAEK resin, the first material, and the second material are melt-blended, extruded, and granulated to obtain a PAEK composite material resistant to ultra-low temperatures.

[0020] Further, the pretreatment step of S1 is as follows: the sheet-like thermally conductive filler and the polyethersulfone resin are dispersed in an alcohol solvent, ultrasonically dispersed, and then the phosphate coupling agent is added. The temperature is raised to 2-8°C below the boiling point of the alcohol solvent and ultrasonically dispersed for 1-5 hours. Then the mixture is dried, ground, and sieved.

[0021] Furthermore, the surface introduction method of S1 is as follows: first, the aramid fiber is dried to a moisture content of less than 0.1 wt%, and then treated with low-temperature oxygen plasma at a power of 60-100 W and an oxygen flow rate of 5-20 sccm for 4-10 minutes.

[0022] Furthermore, S2 employs a co-rotating twin-screw extruder for melt blending. The twin-screw extruder has a screw diameter of 35mm, a length-to-diameter ratio of 40:1, and a rotational speed of 250-350rpm. The temperature settings for each section of the twin-screw extruder are as follows: feeding section 340-350℃, melting section 370-380℃, mixing section 370-380℃, venting section 345-365℃, homogenizing section 355-365℃, and die head 340-355℃. The second material is added from the side feed port at a feeding rate of 3-6kg / h (to avoid fiber heat damage). The venting section has an exhaust port connected to a vacuum system, which removes volatile small molecules such as alcohol solvents from the melt through negative pressure. The vacuum negative pressure is -0.06MPa to -0.09MPa.

[0023] Beneficial technical effects:

[0024] This invention involves treating phosphorus-doped hexagonal boron nitride (P-BN) with polyethersulfone (PES) microspheres using a phosphate ester coupling agent, followed by melt blending modification with surface-carboxylated aramid fibers and PAEK matrix resin. The resulting composite material exhibits advantages such as high strength, high toughness, and low thermal stress under extreme low-temperature environments. This composite material is suitable for components in liquid hydrogen / liquid oxygen storage and transportation systems, such as sealing rings and valve components; for superconducting magnet support structures with low thermal expansion and high insulation; and for polar equipment, such as mechanical joints and sensor housings.
