Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of surface modification of electronic-grade glass fibers, and particularly relates to a surface treatment process method for improving the interface performance of electronic-grade glass fibers. BACKGROUND

[0002] Electronic-grade glass fibers are inorganic non-metallic materials with silicate as the main component, which have good insulation performance, high-temperature resistance and chemical corrosion resistance. The inside of the electronic-grade glass fibers is composed of slender glass filaments, and the surface is smooth, with high mechanical strength, light weight and low price. The electronic-grade glass fibers are one of the most widely used reinforcing materials at present. The electronic-grade glass fibers can be combined with unsaturated polyester resin, epoxy resin, phenolic resin and other high molecular materials to form glass fiber composite materials with excellent performance, good strength-to-weight ratio, processing formability and dimensional stability, and are widely used in integrated circuits, electrical materials, wind power and other fields.

[0003] During the preparation process of glass fibers by melt drawing, the glass fibers need to undergo high-temperature rapid cooling, and finally form an amorphous structure with high orientation, that is, the glass fibers are arranged in order on a macro scale, but there is no long-range ordered microstructure inside the glass fibers on a micro scale, and the molecules are arranged randomly. The surface of the glass fibers is dense, the content of active functional groups is low, and the chemical inertness is strong. This characteristic leads to low adhesion between the glass fiber and the resin interface, and the composite material is prone to interlaminar delamination, peeling and other failure phenomena, which seriously affects the mechanical properties and service life of the composite material in the actual application and production process. Therefore, before the glass fibers are used to reinforce the composite material, the surface of the glass fibers needs to be functionalized and modified to increase the roughness of the glass fiber surface and introduce active groups, so as to improve the interfacial adhesion between the glass fiber and the resin matrix.

[0004] Polydopamine (PDA) is a kind of biomimetic coating material which simulates the structure of dopamine in the byssal threads of mussels. It can self-assemble and deposit on the surface of various materials under mild conditions to form a uniform functional film layer. Its surface is rich in various active functional groups (such as phenolic hydroxyl, amine group, etc.), which can significantly improve the surface chemical activity of glass fibers and provide excellent interfacial bonding sites. At the same time, zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles, as an inorganic material with good stability and excellent antibacterial and ultraviolet resistance, can be uniformly loaded on the surface of glass fibers through the reduction deposition of the PDA layer, not only enhancing the mechanical interlocking effect between the interfaces, but also endowing the material with certain functionality. The synergistic modification of PDA and ZnO on electronic-grade glass fiber cloth can significantly improve the bonding performance between the glass fiber and the epoxy resin matrix, thereby improving the overall mechanical properties and environmental adaptability of the composite material. However, although the PDA+ZnO synergistic modification system can enhance the interfacial adhesion between glass fibers and epoxy resin to some extent, it still has certain limitations: first, the attachment of ZnO is highly dependent on the reaction sites provided by the PDA surface. Due to the uniform distribution of functional groups on the surface of the PDA film, the deposition of ZnO on the surface of the glass fiber is prone to aggregation or size inconsistency, affecting the stability and consistency of the interfacial reinforcement structure; second, the PDA layer alone in an alkaline environment is prone to hydrolysis and peeling, which can lead to problems such as ZnO falling off and interfacial adhesion decreasing under long-term service conditions; at the same time, PDA and epoxy resin mainly rely on physical interactions such as hydrogen bonding and van der Waals forces, lacking stable chemical bonding, which cannot achieve true interfacial synergistic reinforcement. Therefore, the single PDA+ZnO system cannot meet the application requirements of high-performance interfacial reinforcement, and there is room for further optimization. SUMMARY

[0005] To solve the above technical problems, the present application provides a surface treatment process for improving the interfacial performance of electronic-grade glass fibers.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present application provides the following technical solution: a surface treatment process for improving the interfacial performance of electronic-grade glass fibers, which modifies the electronic-grade glass fiber cloth to improve the interfacial bonding performance between the glass fiber and the epoxy resin. The modification method is to treat the electronic-grade glass fiber cloth with polydopamine, zinc oxide, and polyethyleneimine, and to generate zinc oxide nanocolumns on the surface of the electronic-grade glass fiber cloth to increase the surface roughness.

[0007] Preferably, the modification method comprises the following steps:

[0008] Step 1: impurity removal treatment of the electronic-grade glass fiber cloth to obtain the original electronic-grade glass fiber cloth;

[0009] Step 2, preparing dopamine aqueous solution, the treated electronic grade glass fiber cloth in step 1 is soaked into the dopamine aqueous solution to realize polymerization of dopamine;

[0010] Step 3, zinc oxide seed synthesis: zinc acetate ethanol solution and sodium hydroxide ethanol solution are selected to be mixed in a volume ratio of 5:1, and after ice water bath cooling, the mixture is stored at room temperature for 1h, and the electronic grade glass fiber cloth in step 2 is completely soaked in the above mixed solution;

[0011] Step 4, the electronic grade glass fiber cloth after zinc oxide seed synthesis is annealed for 3 times;

[0012] Step 5, zinc nitrate hexahydrate solution and methenamine solution are mixed in a ratio of 1:2, and polyethyleneimine solution is added at the same time, and the pH value is adjusted to 6-7, and the electronic grade glass fiber cloth after annealing is soaked in the mixed solution, and the reaction is carried out in a closed environment at 90℃.

[0013] Step 6, the electronic grade glass fiber cloth in step 5 is washed and dried to obtain ZnO-PDA-PEI-GF.

[0014] Preferably, in step 1, the electronic grade glass fiber cloth is completely soaked in acetone for 24h to remove the sizing agent and impurities on the surface, and the original electronic grade glass fiber cloth is obtained after washing and drying.

[0015] Preferably, in step 2, tris buffer is added to the dopamine aqueous solution to obtain 1g / L, pH=8 hydrochloric acid dopamine aqueous solution.

[0016] Preferably, in step 3, 12.5mol / L zinc acetate ethanol solution and 20mol / L sodium hydroxide ethanol solution are prepared, and both solutions are stirred at 65℃ for 30min; the two solutions are stirred at 65℃ for 30min in a volume ratio of A:B=5:1, and after ice water bath cooling, the mixture is stored at room temperature for 1h; the electronic grade glass fiber cloth is completely soaked in the above mixed solution for 20min.

[0017] Preferably, the zinc acetate ethanol solution is prepared by stirring 1.372g of analytical pure zinc acetate and 500mL of ethanol at 65℃ for 30min; the sodium hydroxide ethanol solution is prepared by stirring 0.8g of analytical pure sodium hydroxide and 100mL of ethanol at 65℃ for 30min.

[0018] Preferably, in step 5, 0.05mol / L zinc nitrate hexahydrate solution and 0.025mol / L methenamine solution are mixed in a ratio of 1:2.

[0019] Preferably, in step 4, the electronic-grade glass fiber cloth is annealed three times at 150°C, with each annealing time being 10 minutes. In this invention, the formation process of ZnO nanopillars is treated with three annealing processes at 150°C. The purpose is to promote the dehydroxylation crystallization, preferential grain growth, and stress release of the ZnO precursor through three staged treatments, thereby obtaining a highly ordered and well-arranged ZnO nanopillar array. The step-by-step heat treatment not only improves the crystallinity and stability of ZnO, but also avoids the problems of agglomeration and PDA carbonization that may be caused by a single high-temperature annealing. The repeated heat treatment process can also enhance the mechanical interlocking force and interfacial bonding performance between ZnO and the PDA / PEI composite substrate.

[0020] Preferably, in step 5, the molar concentration of the polyethyleneimine solution is 1-3 mMol, preferably 3 mMol, and the polyethyleneimine solution is prepared by mixing analytical grade and distilled water.

[0021] Preferably, in step 6, the electronic-grade glass fiber cloth is ultrasonically cleaned for 20 minutes and dried at 100°C for 2 hours.

[0022] This invention also proposes a modified electronic-grade glass fiber reinforced epoxy resin matrix composite material, which is formed by combining electronic-grade glass fiber modified by the above-mentioned method with epoxy resin through vacuum infusion. SEM images were used to observe the interface between glass fiber and epoxy resin, and it was found that the modified interface has a stronger adhesion and the interlaminar shear strength can reach up to 77.94 MPa, which is up to 36.4% higher than that of the unmodified electronic-grade glass fiber reinforced epoxy resin matrix composite material.

[0023] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a surface treatment process for improving the interface properties of electronic-grade glass fibers, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0024] (1) This invention improves the interfacial bonding performance between electronic-grade glass fiber cloth and epoxy resin by modifying the cloth. Specifically, the modification involves polydopamine (PDA) + zinc oxide (ZnO) + polyethyleneimine (PEI) + electronic-grade glass fiber cloth, increasing surface roughness by generating zinc oxide nanopillars on the surface of the glass fiber cloth. PDA can form an adhesive coating rich in polyphenolic hydroxyl and amine groups on the glass fiber surface through a self-polymerization reaction, which not only improves the adhesion of the fiber surface to ZnO but also enhances the bonding performance between the fiber and epoxy resin. 2 The ability to capture ZnO also provides abundant reaction sites for subsequent nucleation of ZnO. ZnO can grow in situ on the PDA coating to form nanopillar structures. These nanostructures can significantly improve the surface roughness and mechanical interlocking of glass fibers. At the same time, their polar surfaces can interact with epoxy resin through hydrogen bonding, electrostatics, and other processes, further enhancing interfacial adhesion.

[0025] (2) Based on PDA+ZnO as the modified material, this invention introduces a novel modification variable, PEI. The primary and secondary amine groups abundant in the PEI molecular chain can interact with Zn. 2 + ions undergo a complexation reaction, forming a highly uniformly distributed Zn on the glass fiber surface. 2 The addition of complexation sites induces preferential ZnO nucleation in localized areas under the alkaline conditions provided by polydopamine, preventing localized aggregation. The PEI polymer structure spreads in a brush-like pattern on the fiber surface, exhibiting a significant steric hindrance effect, effectively limiting the excessive growth and aggregation of ZnO crystal nuclei, thereby controlling the size and arrangement density of the ZnO nanostructures. After protonation, PEI exhibits a positive charge distribution, generating electrostatic repulsion during ZnO nanocrystal formation, further inhibiting particle aggregation and promoting the uniform and orderly deposition of ZnO into a nanopillar array structure on the glass fiber surface. The synergistic effect of these three factors significantly improves the interlaminar shear strength of the composite material compared to the unmodified system, solving the problems of insufficient interfacial bonding and poor stability in the traditional PDA+ZnO system.
