[0002] The carbon fiber composite material usually takes epoxy resin as a matrix, and forms a composite structure with high strength and low density by virtue of the high strength of carbon fiber and the good adhesion of epoxy resin, and is widely applied in the fields of aerospace, automobile industry, sports goods, etc. However, the composite material with the epoxy resin as the matrix is prone to produce micro-cracks, delamination and other damages due to external force in actual use, which seriously weakens the mechanical properties of the material and shortens the service life, and even causes structural failure. At present, the means for improving the damage repair capability mainly includes external repair and self-healing technology. The external repair such as hot pressing remelting and adhesive filling for the epoxy resin matrix needs manual intervention, and is not only complex in the repair process and high in cost, but also has limited repair effect on hidden parts or micro-cracks. The self-healing technology has more advantages, but in the self-healing structure based on microcapsules, the repair agent wrapped in the microcapsules has poor compatibility with the epoxy resin matrix, can only be repaired once after breaking, and easily leads to the decrease of the mechanical properties of the matrix.
[0003] Therefore, it has important practical significance to develop a carbon fiber composite material with high efficient self-healing capability, good mechanical properties and multiple repair. SUMMARY

[0014] The present application will be further described in conjunction with the drawings and specific examples. It should be understood that these examples are only used to illustrate the present application and are not used to limit the scope of the present application. Furthermore, it should be understood that after reading the content taught by the present application, those skilled in the art can make various modifications or changes to the present application, and these equivalent forms also fall within the scope defined by the present application.
[0015] A self-healing carbon fiber composite material with a bionic structure comprises a carbon fiber matrix, an epoxy resin matrix, and a self-healing matrix. The carbon fiber matrix is a carbon fiber fabric with multiple layers of staggered carbon fiber plies. The epoxy resin matrix is filled between the carbon fiber fabric and the inter-fiber gaps. The self-healing matrix comprises mussel adhesion protein microspheres and a spider-silk-elasticity-fiber network, and the spider-silk-elasticity-fiber network is composed of several spider-silk-elasticity-fibers.
[0016] The imitation mussel adhesion protein microspheres are uniformly dispersed in the epoxy resin matrix, and the imitation spider silk elastic fiber network is interpenetrated between the carbon fiber matrix and the epoxy resin matrix.
[0017] The particle size of the imitation mussel adhesion protein microspheres is 100-500 nm, and the mass fraction of the epoxy resin matrix is 1-5%.
[0018] The diameter of the imitation spider silk elastic fiber is 0.5-2 μm, and the density of the imitation spider silk elastic fiber network is 100-500 imitation spider silk elastic fibers per square centimeter.
[0019] The surface of the imitation mussel adhesion protein microspheres contains a large number of dopamine groups capable of forming strong chemical bonds and physical adsorption with the epoxy resin. When the carbon fiber composite material is broken, the microspheres in the imitation mussel adhesion protein microspheres break, releasing mussel adhesion proteins, which can form new connections at the damaged site and promote the healing of the material. The imitation spider silk elastic fiber has a shape memory function. In use, the imitation spider silk elastic fiber network is in an extended state. When it is heated, it will shrink, generating a shrinkage force to close the cracks at the damaged site, and cooperates with the mussel adhesion proteins released by the imitation mussel adhesion protein microspheres to improve the self-healing effect.
[0020] A preparation method for preparing the above-mentioned self-healing type carbon fiber composite material with a biomimetic structure, comprising the following steps: Step 100, preparing a self-healing matrix, preparing imitation mussel adhesion protein microspheres by gradient emulsification method, and preparing imitation spider silk elastic fiber network by electrospinning method; Among them, the preparation of imitation mussel adhesion protein microspheres includes the following steps: S1: Mix polydopamine containing dopamine groups and polycaprolactone according to a mass ratio of 3:7 to form a copolymer, and dissolve the copolymer in a mixed solvent of dichloromethane and ethanol to form a polymer solution with different mass fractions. The mass fraction of the polymer solution directly affects the particle size of the imitation mussel adhesion protein microspheres generated subsequently. The smaller the mass fraction of the polymer solution, the smaller the particle size of the imitation mussel adhesion protein microspheres. The volume ratio of dichloromethane to ethanol in the mixed solvent is 6:4; S2: Pre-emulsification treatment, add the polymer solution to an aqueous solution containing 0.5% Tween 80, pre-emulsify at a speed of 200 rpm for 10 min to form a coarse emulsion; S3: Homogenization treatment, transfer the coarse emulsion to a high-pressure homogenizer, the pressure is 40-80 MPa, and the cycle treatment is 2-4 times to obtain a uniform emulsion; S4: Drying treatment, remove the solvent in the uniform emulsion by freeze-drying method to obtain imitation mussel adhesion protein microspheres.

[0023] In some preferred embodiments of the present application, during the layered penetration, ultraviolet pre-curing is added with a power of 40-60 mW / cm² and a time of 30 s. The ultraviolet pre-curing can promote the rapid curing of the epoxy resin matrix, enhance the bonding force between the spider-silk-elasticity-fiber network and the epoxy resin matrix, reduce the displacement of the spider-silk-elasticity-fiber during subsequent processing, and also increase the interlayer bonding strength.
[0024] Step 400, gradient curing, the carbon fiber composite material treated in step 300 is placed in a vacuum hot pressing tank for gradient curing, first cured at 60°C for 2 h, then cured at 80°C for 1 h, and finally cured at 120°C for 2 h, with a curing pressure of 0.6-0.8 MPa, and finally a self-healing type carbon fiber composite material with a biomimetic structure is obtained.
