Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of composite material preparation, and in particular to a method for preparing a high-temperature resistant inorganic adhesive reinforced quartz thermal insulation tile composite material. Background Art

[0002] With the increasing frequency of space applications and exploration activities, reusable transportation systems have become an urgent need for space transportation missions of major military powers. Thermal protection materials, as the cornerstone for the development and protection of reusable transportation systems in extreme environments, are the core components for solving the problem of aerodynamic heating thermal barriers. Rigid ceramic fiber insulation tiles are one of the main materials for reusable thermal protection systems, with high temperature resistance, lightweight, and heat insulation properties. However, this material has the system defects of high porosity, low strength, and hard and brittle material. How to achieve a balance between low thermal conductivity and high strength remains the main challenge facing quartz fiber porous ceramics. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In order to solve the technical problem of low strength of rigid ceramic fiber insulation tiles, the present invention provides a preparation method of an inorganic phosphate reinforced quartz insulation tile composite material. This method is completely different from the traditional preparation method of changing raw materials and molding processes. It innovatively uses liquid phosphate resin as a film-forming agent and liquid ammonia water as a curing agent. Under normal temperature conditions, through a two-step impregnation process, an in-situ reaction is achieved on the surface of the quartz fiber skeleton to generate a coating, thereby preparing a high-strength phosphate reinforced quartz insulation tile composite material.

[0004] A method for preparing a phosphate-reinforced quartz thermal insulation tile composite material is specifically carried out according to the following steps:

[0005] 1. diluting aluminum dihydrogen phosphate to obtain an aluminum dihydrogen phosphate solution, then adding a silane coupling agent and a cosolvent, stirring, and obtaining an aluminum dihydrogen phosphate resin solution;

[0006] 2. Under vacuum conditions, the aluminum dihydrogen phosphate resin solution prepared in step 1 is used to impregnate the quartz insulation tile; then, the quartz insulation tile is dried to obtain the modified insulation tile;

[0007] 3. Under a vacuum environment, the modified thermal insulation tile obtained in step 2 is immersed in ammonia water, and then dried to obtain a phosphate reinforced quartz thermal insulation tile composite material, thereby completing the preparation.

[0008] Furthermore, the mass concentration of the aluminum dihydrogen phosphate solution after dilution in step 1 is 1-20%.

[0009] Furthermore, the silane coupling agent in step 1 is KH550.

[0010] Furthermore, the amount of the silane coupling agent added in step 1 is 1-2% of the mass of the aluminum dihydrogen phosphate solution.

[0011] Furthermore, the cosolvent in step 1 is a surfactant.

[0012] Furthermore, the amount of the additive added in step 1 is 0.05-0.5% of the mass of the aluminum dihydrogen phosphate solution.

[0013] Furthermore, in step 2, the immersion time is controlled to be 3 to 5 hours.

[0014] Furthermore, in step 2, the drying temperature is controlled to be 120-140°C.

[0015] Furthermore, in step three, the immersion time is controlled to be 3 to 5 hours.

[0016] Furthermore, the drying temperature is controlled to be 120~140℃.

[0017] The present invention prepares a high-strength, ultra-thin phosphate coating on the surface of the quartz fiber skeleton. The coating reacts with the fiber skeleton at an interface under high temperature, and has excellent high-temperature resistant mechanical properties.

[0018] Beneficial effects of the present invention:

[0019] The present invention adopts a coating-enhanced modification strategy, utilizing the porous structure of quartz insulation tiles to generate an in-situ phosphate coating on the surface of the quartz fiber skeleton through a secondary impregnation process. When the concentration of the Al(H2PO4)3 solution is 5 wt.%, the coating evenly covers the fiber surface with a thickness of about 4 to 10 nm ( Figure 3 There is no obvious lumps at the fiber nodes, and the thermal conductivity of the composite material remains at 0.09 W·m -1 ·K -1 , with excellent thermal insulation performance. As the concentration of aluminum dihydrogen phosphate solution increases, the room temperature and high temperature compressive strength of the composite material are significantly improved, which is about 7.9 times higher than that of the unmodified sample. The enhancement of mechanical properties is mainly attributed to the formation of phosphate coating and the synergistic effect of colloid at high concentration. At high temperature, the strong interface bonding between the coating and the fiber further improves the material performance. While maintaining excellent thermal insulation, the composite material has greatly improved the mechanical properties, expanding its application in the field of high-temperature thermal insulation.
