Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of functional composite materials, and in particular to a broadband rubber absorbing material and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of modern electronic technology, electromagnetic wave pollution has become the fourth largest environmental hazard after noise pollution, water pollution, and air pollution. Electromagnetic interference not only seriously affects the normal operation of electronic equipment and threatens the security of information transmission, but also poses potential risks to human health. Absorbing materials, which can effectively dissipate incident electromagnetic wave energy by converting it into heat or other forms of energy, have become a key technological solution to electromagnetic pollution and radar detection issues. Ideal absorbing materials should be lightweight, have a wide bandwidth, strong absorption properties, and good environmental adaptability.

[0003] Rubber-based absorbing materials have attracted much attention due to their excellent electromagnetic wave absorption performance and good mechanical properties. They also have advantages such as corrosion resistance, good flexibility, easy processing and molding, strong adhesion, and tailorability, which can meet the coating requirements of complex-shaped devices. Currently, rubber-based absorbing materials mainly achieve electromagnetic wave absorption performance by adding functional absorbing fillers. Commonly used absorbers include magnetic loss-type materials such as ferrite and carbonyl iron, as well as dielectric loss-type materials such as carbon nanotubes, graphene, and conductive polymers. However, existing technologies still have problems such as difficulty in synergistically optimizing impedance matching and strong absorption performance, and a narrow absorption bandwidth. Summary of the Invention In view of the above problems, the present invention provides a broadband rubber absorbing composite material and a preparation method thereof. To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions: The present invention provides a broadband rubber wave-absorbing composite material, comprising the following components in parts by weight: 50-70 parts natural rubber Nitrile rubber 50-30 parts 12-15 parts of absorbent 1 part accelerator 3 parts zinc oxide 1 part stearic acid 1.5 parts antioxidant 2 parts sulfur The total weight fraction of the natural rubber and the nitrile rubber is 100 parts; The wave absorbing agent is a composite wave absorbing agent in which Fe3O4 nanoparticles are uniformly loaded on the surface of polypyrrole nanotubes.

[0004] Preferably, the conductivity of the composite absorber is 0.161 S / cm and the saturation magnetization is 20.5 emu*g -1The mass ratio of polypyrrole nanotubes to Fe3O4 in the composite absorber is 1.7:1, the diameter of the polypyrrole nanotubes in the composite absorber is 50-100 nm, and the particle size of the Fe3O4 nanoparticles is 20-30 nm.

[0005] Preferably, the preparation method of the composite absorber is as follows: Under a nitrogen atmosphere, 0.015 mol of pyrrole monomer and 0.00075 mol of methyl orange were dissolved in 50 ml of deionized water. Then, 50 ml of 0.3 MFeCl₃ aqueous solution was added to the mixture at a rate of 1.5 ml / min using a syringe pump. After 1 hour of reaction, 4.5 ml of triethylamine was added to the reaction system. The mixture was then magnetically stirred at room temperature for 12 hours to ensure sufficient reaction. After the reaction, the product was alternately filtered and washed with anhydrous ethanol and deionized water until the filtrate reached a neutral pH. The resulting solid product was then transferred to a vacuum oven and dried at 60°C for 12 hours to obtain a composite absorber.

[0006] Preferably, the accelerator is selected from any one of N-tert-butyl-2-benzothiazole sulfenamide (NS), N,N-dicyclohexyl-2-benzothiazole sulfenamide (DZ), N-oxydiethylene-2-benzothiazole sulfenamide (NOBS) or N-cyclohexyl-2-benzothiazole sulfenamide (CZ).

[0007] Preferably, the antioxidant is selected from any one of 2,2,4-trimethyl-1,2-dihydroquinoline polymer (RD), N-phenyl-2-naphthylamine (D) or N,N'-diphenyl-p-phenylenediamine (DPPD).

[0008] The present invention also provides a method for preparing the above-mentioned X-band full-frequency absorption rubber absorbing composite material, comprising the following steps: Step (1), setting the initial temperature of the open mill roller to 45 ° C, the roller gap distance to 1.0 mm, and the speed ratio to 30 / 20, adding natural rubber and nitrile rubber to the open mill and wrapping the rollers, and achieving uniform blending by multiple tapping; adding antioxidant, stearic acid, and zinc oxide in sequence, and continuing to tap to ensure that the additives are fully dispersed; adding composite absorber and repeatedly refining to ensure that the filler is dispersed, and finally adding sulfur and accelerator at the same time, repeatedly refining until the mixture is uniform, and then thinly sheeting to obtain a mixed rubber; Step (2), vulcanizing and molding the rubber mixture obtained in step (1) on a flat vulcanizer to obtain a rubber absorbing material with full-frequency absorption in the X-band.

[0009] Preferably, the vulcanization temperature in step (2) is 175°C.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages: This invention achieves synergistic control of electromagnetic properties through an innovative composite structure of polypyrrole nanotubes and Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles. By precisely controlling the mass ratio of polypyrrole nanotubes to Fe₃O₄, the composite achieves an ideal balance between dielectric and magnetic losses, thereby optimizing impedance matching. Furthermore, the composite structure avoids the agglomeration of the absorber in the rubber matrix caused by physical mixing. Simultaneously, the controlled blending ratio of the rubber matrix further optimizes the dispersion and interfacial interactions of the composite absorber. This dual-scale control strategy (component ratio control and matrix compatibility design) effectively establishes multiple loss mechanisms: the polypyrrole nanotubes provide dielectric loss, the uniformly distributed Fe₃O₄ particles enhance magnetic loss, and the interface between the two enhances polarization relaxation. This synergistic effect gives the composite broadband absorption, enabling full-band absorption from 8.2 to 12.4 GHz. At a thickness of 3.1 mm, the effective absorption bandwidth, with a reflection loss (RL) ≤ -10 dB, covers the entire X-band.

[0011] The preparation process of the present invention is simple, has significant cost advantages, and is easy to achieve large-scale production. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

After 1 hour of reaction, 4.5 ml of triethylamine was added to the reaction system. The mixed solution was then magnetically stirred at room temperature for 12 hours to ensure sufficient reaction. After the reaction, the product was alternately filtered and washed with anhydrous ethanol and deionized water until the filtrate reached a neutral pH. The resulting solid product was then transferred to a vacuum oven and dried at 60°C for 12 hours to obtain the composite absorber with Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles uniformly loaded on the surface of polypyrrole nanotubes.
