Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of thermal control materials, and in particular relates to an organic-inorganic hybrid aerospace thermal control coating and a preparation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] In the aerospace field, inorganic thermal control white coatings, compared to organic thermal control white paints, have become an indispensable key material in spacecraft and satellite thermal control systems due to their superior weathering, high-temperature resistance, and excellent resistance to atomic oxygen corrosion. However, the inherent high rigidity and low flexibility of inorganic thermal control white paints make it difficult for the coating to maintain ideal deformation under complex and changing stress environments. This weakens the bonding strength between the coating and the metal substrate, limiting the coating's service life and overall performance. In the extreme environment of space, inorganic thermal control white paint is particularly exposed to continuous irradiation of high-energy charged particles. These particles, when absorbed by the coating, are rapidly converted into high heat. The difference in thermal expansion coefficients between inorganic thermal control white paint and the metal substrate further increases the risk of deformation of the metal substrate due to thermal stress concentration under high temperature and radiation, posing a potential threat to the structural stability and thermal control effectiveness of the spacecraft.
[0003] In addition, existing thermal control coating systems often use oxide pigments with a single morphology or a single size as fillers. Oxide particles with a single morphology often lead to a single scattering pattern and cannot form a complex and efficient scattering network structure, which limits the interaction between infrared radiation and the coating material. At the same time, the distribution of particles of a single size makes it difficult to achieve fine control of the pore structure, which may lead to excessive ineffective pores or lack of necessary microcavity structure inside the coating, thereby affecting the effective absorption and emission of infrared radiation. In addition, fillers that lack morphological and size diversity often cannot fully adapt to various stress changes during the coating preparation process, which may cause defects inside the coating, thereby affecting the overall performance and stability of the coating. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The present invention aims to address, at least to some extent, one of the technical problems in the related art. To this end, the main purpose of the present invention is to provide an organic-inorganic hybrid aerospace thermal control coating that combines low solar absorptivity, high infrared emissivity, and excellent temperature resistance and resistance to atomic oxygen irradiation. This coating is of great significance for comprehensively improving the thermal control performance of spacecraft and satellite thermal control systems.

[0007] Furthermore, in step 1, the average particle size of the inorganic silica is 1 to 50 nm; the mixing mass ratio of the silica sol to the benzyl silicone resin is 1:(0.1 to 1); Furthermore, in step 2, the acidic catalyst comprises one or more of ammonium chloride, boron hexafluoride, phosphoric acid or sulfuric acid, and the mass ratio of the acidic catalyst to the silica sol is (0.001-0.1):1; Furthermore, in step 3, the temperature range for the preliminary reaction is 10-30° C., and the preliminary reaction time is 3-6 hours; the temperature range for the elevated temperature reaction is 50-80° C., and the reaction time is 1-3 hours; and the stirring rate is 200-500 rpm; Furthermore, in step 4, zinc oxide powders of different morphologies and sizes are mixed and used; wherein the morphologies of the zinc oxide powders are spherical, rod-shaped and flower-shaped, respectively, wherein the size of the spherical and rod-shaped zinc oxide powders is 15-100 nm, and the size of the flower-shaped zinc oxide powder is 3-10 μm; The mass ratio of the spherical zinc oxide powder, the rod-shaped zinc oxide powder and the flower-shaped zinc oxide powder is (0.2-1): (0.2-1): (0.5-1).
[0008] Furthermore, in step 4, the silane coupling agent includes one or more of KH550 or KH560, and the mass ratio of the silane coupling agent to the zinc oxide powder is (1-5):100; Furthermore, the process conditions of the modification reaction in step 4 are: stirring rate of 200-600 rpm, reaction temperature of 40-80° C., and reaction time of 1-5 hours; Furthermore, the washing, filtration and drying in step 5 are specifically washing with anhydrous ethanol, and the drying temperature after filtration is 40-80°C; Furthermore, in step 6, the mass ratio of the modified zinc oxide powder to the benzyl silicone modified silica sol is (0.8-4):1, the high-speed stirring speed is 1200-2000 rpm, and the dispersion time is 3-8 hours; Furthermore, in step 7, the color paste component B is diethylenetriamine or triethylenetetramine, the mass ratio of the color paste component A to the color paste component B is 100:(0.5-2), the stirring speed is 100-300 rpm, and the mixing time is 10-30 minutes; Furthermore, in step 8, the metal substrates commonly used in the aerospace field include aluminum alloys, titanium alloys, aluminum-based silicon carbide, and magnesium alloys; Furthermore, in step 8, the nozzle diameter used is 1-3 mm, the air pressure is 1-3 atm, the spraying distance is 10-30 cm, and the number of spraying times is 3-10 times; Furthermore, in step 8, the thermal curing conditions are: keeping the temperature at 80°C for 1 to 3 hours, then heating to 120°C and keeping the temperature at 120°C for 3 to 6 hours, and the coating thickness is controlled at 60 to 150 μm.
[0009] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has at least the following advantages: The preparation method of the present invention utilizes the acidic catalytic mediated benzyl silicone resin modification technology to generate new silicon-hydrogen bonds by utilizing the conversion of silicon-hydrogen bonds and the degradable alkyl migration reaction. The new silicon-hydrogen bonds undergo addition reactions with the hydroxyl / alcohol groups and other functional groups in the inorganic silica sol to construct a tightly cross-linked benzyl silicone modified silica resin structure. By modifying the silica sol with benzyl silicone, not only the chemical composition of the inorganic silica sol is changed, the flexibility of its molecular chain and the density of its network structure are improved, but also the chemical composition of the sol is effectively regulated, and the thermal expansion coefficient of the thermal control coating is significantly reduced, so that it is harmoniously matched with the thermal expansion coefficient of the metal substrate. The incorporation of the benzyl silicone resin improves the interfacial compatibility between the sol and the metal substrate, effectively alleviating the stress concentration and crack propagation problems caused by the difference in thermal expansion coefficients. While retaining the original excellent performance of the inorganic resin, the toughness of the coating of the present invention is significantly improved, making the bonding with the metal substrate more firm.
[0010] 2) The preparation method of the present invention, in terms of filler selection and design for the thermal control coating, utilizes a mixture of zinc oxide powders with varying morphologies (including spherical, rod-shaped, and flower-shaped forms) and sizes (including nanoscale and microscale). Leveraging their unique morphological characteristics and size distribution, this method constructs a highly efficient scattering network within the coating. This not only significantly enhances the interaction between infrared radiation and the coating material, effectively reducing unnecessary internal reflections, but also optimizes the pore structure, allowing infrared radiation to be more fully absorbed by the coating and converted into heat energy, which is then emitted with greater efficiency. This "morphologically complementary scattering" mechanism can further optimize the coating's absorption and emission characteristics for infrared radiation, providing strong technical support for the application of thermal control coatings in the aerospace field.
