Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of resin-based composite materials, in particular to a high-toughness, high-temperature curing epoxy resin prepreg for automatic fiber placement and a preparation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] Resin-based composite materials have important properties required by modern aircraft, such as high specific strength, specific modulus, dimensional stability, excellent corrosion resistance, wear resistance, dielectric properties, electrical insulation properties, and other properties and characteristics. Therefore, they have been widely used in aerospace, military, rail transportation, wind power and other fields.
[0003] As an important category of resin-based composite materials, thermosetting resin-based composite materials include epoxy resin, phenolic resin, bismaleimide resin, cyanate resin and polyimide resin according to different resin systems. According to different molding methods, they can be divided into prepreg compression molding, winding molding, pultrusion molding and liquid molding.
[0004] Epoxy resin-based carbon fiber prepreg, a thermosetting resin-based composite material, is manufactured using prepreg compression molding technology. Its low curing temperature, good processability, and low cost make it widely used in primary load-bearing structures in aviation. High-toughness, medium-modulus, high-strength carbon fiber prepregs are widely used in the primary load-bearing structures of foreign civil aircraft. In terms of civil aviation materials, epoxy resin-based carbon fiber prepregs are primarily used in primary load-bearing structures such as the fuselage and wings of aircraft. Approximately 50% of the Boeing 787's fuselage structure is made of composite materials, 45% of which are carbon fiber composites. The key indicator of its composite material is the compressive strength after impact (CAI), which is used to characterize the composite material's ability to resist low-speed impact damage. Therefore, the toughening modification of high-temperature curing epoxy resins has always been a hot research topic in China and abroad.
[0005] To improve the toughness of epoxy resins, extensive scientific research has been conducted, yielding significant results. Currently, research on toughening epoxy resins has achieved remarkable results. The main approaches include: adding dispersed phases such as rubber elastomers, thermoplastic resins, or liquid crystal polymers to the epoxy matrix; using thermosetting resins to continuously penetrate the epoxy resin network to form interpenetrating or semi-interpenetrating networks; and curing the epoxy resin with a curing agent containing "flexible segments," introducing flexible segments into the crosslinked network to improve the flexibility of the network molecules. Specifically, Professor Yi Xiaosu proposed "interlaminar off-site toughening" (described in patent application number CN200610099381.9, entitled "A Toughened Composite Laminate and Its Preparation Method") for toughening epoxy resin-based prepregs. This method involves placing a thermoplastic resin in the form of a film or powder between two carbon fiber layers impregnated with a low-viscosity resin matrix. This method specifically improves the interlaminar toughness of the composite, thereby significantly increasing the composite's CAI. For example, when preparing prepregs, low-area-density organic thermoplastic fiber mesh or non-woven fabric is used for interlayer toughening or toughening particle layers (such as those disclosed in patent documents with publication numbers CN117264370A and CN112677602A). For example, patent document CN115109389A discloses an epoxy resin for interlayer toughening prepregs with micron particles and a preparation method thereof. The epoxy resin matrix modified with a thermoplastic resin is added with micron toughening particles to toughen the epoxy resin-based composite material. During the prepreg molding stage, the micron-sized toughening particles are evenly distributed on the fiber surface. During the composite molding stage, the micron-sized toughening particles are located on the fiber surface. During the curing process, the thermoplastic particles are in a highly active state and can be tightly combined with the inorganic toughening particles between layers. When the fibers are subjected to external forces in the longitudinal direction, the highly tightly combined inorganic toughening particles with the thermoplastic toughening particles can resist the external forces, thereby achieving interlayer toughening.
[0006] However, all of the above existing technologies have certain drawbacks. Among them, modifying epoxy resin with rubber or polyurethane elastomers is a traditional toughening method. This modification often results in a significant increase in impact strength, but the corresponding cured product suffers from a decrease in heat resistance and modulus. Furthermore, the use of various interlayer "intercalation" or "toughening" methods can compromise the prepreg's viscosity and other processability, affect the control of the composite's single-layer thickness, and hinder engineering applications. Toughening with thermoplastic resin nanoparticles, due to the presence of active groups such as amines or impurities in thermoplastic resins, can shorten the prepreg's shelf life, thus hindering the fabrication of large composite parts.
[0007] Currently, the manufacturing of various structural components and large parts in various aerospace vehicles, such as large aircraft and launch vehicles, has been automated. Among them, Automatic Fiber Placement (AFP) is one of the fastest-growing automated composite material manufacturing technologies in recent years. It uses unidirectional prepreg tows with relatively narrow widths (3.000, 3.175, 6.000, 6.350, and 12.700 mm) as raw materials and automatically places them on the mold surface. However, this requires the prepreg tape to have good adhesion and adhesion life (process life). Currently, prepregs prepared using existing technologies cannot meet the high damage tolerance requirements of composite materials used in civil aerospace, military aviation, and unmanned aerial vehicles. The modulus, toughness, and heat resistance of most products do not meet the requirements, making it difficult to guarantee the processability and lifespan of prepregs when using AFP to produce large parts. Furthermore, most cannot guarantee a long storage period and maintain adhesion for a short time, making them unsuitable for the processability requirements of AFP prepregs.
[0008] Based on this, how to develop high-toughness, high-temperature curing epoxy prepreg while taking into account other properties, and at the same time ensure that it meets the processability and life requirements when used in automatic fiber placement molding technology to prepare large parts, is an issue that we urgently need to solve.
