Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of design, preparation and application of anti-blast composites, in particular to a preparation method of carbon nanotube aerogel filled porous titanium anti-blast composite. BACKGROUND
[0002] Anti-blast composites bear the key mission of efficiently attenuating blast shock waves, dissipating energy and achieving lightweight in the fields of aerospace, national defense and industry safety, but the limitations of traditional materials restrict their development. The density of aluminum foam in metal foam is ≥200 kg / m 3 , and it is easy to collapse under impact, with an energy absorption efficiency often below 100 kJ / m 3 . Ceramic matrix composites, although high in hardness, are difficult to meet the lightweight demand due to their brittleness and high cost. Porous titanium has advantages such as low density of 4.5 g / cm 3 , but a single structure will quickly fail due to stress concentration when facing shock waves.
[0003] The difficulties of existing technologies further exacerbate application challenges. Traditional porous titanium preparation processes use powder metallurgy, which is difficult to precisely control porosity and pore size distribution, with porosity fluctuation of ±10% and pore size deviation of ±50 μm, resulting in uneven distribution of filling materials and interface bonding strength of less than 2 MPa. Even if the carbon nanotube aerogel has excellent performance, the filling rate in the porous titanium channel is less than 50%, and there is a lack of effective anchoring means. Carbon nanotubes themselves are prone to agglomeration due to van der Waals forces, and traditional acid treatment introduces few functional groups. The existing filling process cannot overcome the surface tension of the dispersion liquid, and the aerogel structure collapses and the density increases sharply during drying. In addition, existing composites have single function, cannot repair microcracks generated by impact, are difficult to monitor damage in real time, and have poor corrosion resistance, which cannot adapt to harsh environments.
[0004] To overcome these difficulties, the present application develops an integrated process of "functionalization of porous titanium surface-multi-modification of carbon nanotubes-vacuum pulse impregnation-supercritical drying". TiO2 nanotube arrays are grown on the pore walls of porous titanium using a mixed solution of ammonium fluorotitanate and hydrogen peroxide, and the interface bonding strength is increased to more than 5 MPa by combining nano-silver particles with carbon nanotube amination treatment. Carbon nanotubes are triple-modified by mixed acid oxidation, APTES amination and polydopamine coating, and combined with pulse pressure vacuum impregnation to achieve high filling rate of 85-95% and uniform distribution with deviation <5% of the aerogel in the porous titanium channel. Carbon borane derivatives and piezoelectric nanofibers are introduced, the former decomposes to achieve microcrack self-repairing with strength recovery rate exceeding 80%, and the latter converts impact energy into electrical signals to achieve real-time damage monitoring.
[0005] (I) Technical problems solved
[0006] In view of the deficiencies of the prior art, the application provides a preparation method of a carbon nanotube aerogel filled porous titanium blast-resistant composite material.
[0007] (ii) Technical solutions
[0008] The preparation method of the carbon nanotube aerogel filled porous titanium blast-resistant composite material comprises the following steps:
[0009] S1: Pretreatment of a porous titanium matrix
[0010] Titanium powder is mixed with a pore-forming agent, cold-pressed into a shape, and then sintered under the protection of argon to form a porous titanium matrix; then the matrix is immersed in a mixed solution containing ammonium fluoride, hydrogen peroxide and nano silver particles, and TiO2 nanotube arrays are grown in situ on the surface of the pore wall, the nano silver particles are uniformly distributed on the surface of the nanotube, an Ag-TiO2 heterojunction is formed, and the reaction is as follows:
[0011]
[0012] S2: Preparation of a functionalized carbon nanotube dispersion
[0013] Multi-walled carbon nanotubes are added to mixed acid, ultrasonically dispersed and then subjected to acid treatment; then 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane APTES and dopamine are added, and reflux reaction is carried out at 80-100 DEG C for 6-12 hours to realize amino functionalization and form a polydopamine coating layer, and the reaction formula is as follows:
[0014]
[0015] The functionalized carbon nanotubes are dispersed in deionized water, and chitosan, graphene quantum dots GQDs and carborane derivatives are added, ultrasonic homogenization is carried out, and a stable dispersion is formed; the structure formula of the carborane derivative is as follows:
[0016]
[0017] S3: Vacuum impregnation and cross-linking curing
[0018] The pretreated porous titanium matrix is placed in a vacuum impregnation tank, vacuum injection of the carbon nanotube dispersion is carried out, and the pressure is kept at 0.5-1 MPa for 2-4 hours; then the temperature is raised to 60-80 DEG C, nitrogen containing glutaraldehyde vapor and hexamethylene diisocyanate HDI is introduced, cross-linking curing is carried out, and a double cross-linking network is formed;
[0019] S4: Supercritical drying and formation of carbon aerogel
[0020] The impregnated and solidified composite material is transferred to a high-pressure reactor, replaced with liquid CO2, and then heated to 35-40°C and slowly depressurized. Finally, it is heat-treated at 800-1000°C in an argon atmosphere, carbonizing the chitosan and decomposing the carborane derivative to form B4C nanoparticles uniformly distributed in the carbon nanotube network, forming a B4C@CNT reinforcing phase.
[0021] Preferably, the process further comprises a S0 pretreatment step: annealing the titanium powder in an argon atmosphere containing 5-10 vol% hydrogen at 400-600°C for 1-3 hours to form a TiH2 activation layer with a thickness of 5-20 nm on the surface of the titanium powder.
[0022] Preferably, the process further comprises a S2.5 in-situ polymerization step: adding 0.5-2 wt% aniline monomer and 0.05-0.2 wt% ammonium persulfate initiator to the functionalized carbon nanotube dispersion, and stirring at 20-30°C for 6-12 hours to allow in-situ polymerization of polyaniline PANI on the surface of the carbon nanotube to form a CNT@PANI core-shell structure, with a polyaniline coating layer thickness of 10-50 nm.
[0023] Preferably, the vacuum impregnation in S3 uses a pulse pressure mode: cyclically increasing and decreasing the pressure at a rate of 0.1 MPa / s in the range of 0.1-1 MPa, with a 30-second holding time for each cycle, and a total of 10-30 cycles.
[0024] Preferably, during the supercritical drying process in S4, ultrasonic vibrations with a frequency of 20-50 kHz and a power of 50-200 W are introduced during the depressurization stage.
[0025] Preferably, in the prepared composite material, the interfacial bonding strength between the carbon nanotube aerogel and the porous titanium matrix is ≥5 MPa, and through nanoindentation testing, the interface region exhibits a gradient in mechanical properties, with the hardness gradually decreasing from the titanium matrix to the aerogel, with a gradient range of 1-5 GPa / mm.
[0026] Preferably, the prepared composite material has a layered gradient structure, divided into three layers along the thickness direction: an outer dense titanium layer, a middle carbon nanotube aerogel-filled porous titanium layer, and an inner honeycomb-shaped porous titanium layer, with a transition zone between the three layers to achieve a gradual change in performance.
[0027] Preferably, the prepared composite material has a areal density of 5-10 kg / m 2 and a peak pressure attenuation rate of 70-90% and an energy absorption efficiency of 150-300 kJ / kg against 1-10 MPa explosive shock waves.
[0028] Preferably, the prepared composite material has self-repairing function: when the material is impacted to generate micro-cracks, the carbon borane derivative at the crack tip decomposes to generate B2O3 glass phase at high temperature, which flows to fill the cracks at 500-800 DEG C to realize self-repairing.
[0029] Preferably, the prepared composite material can be used as an intelligent anti-explosion structure, and through integration of 0.1-1 wt% piezoelectric nanofibers in the carbon nanotube network, impact energy can be collected and monitored, and the output voltage signal has linear relationship with impact strength, so that the damage state of the material can be monitored in real time.
[0030] (III) Beneficial effects
[0031] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present application are:
[0032] 1. When the areal density is 5-10 kg / m 2 , the peak pressure attenuation rate of 1-10 MPa explosion shock wave is extremely high, and the attenuation rate is greatly improved compared with that of pure porous titanium. The three-dimensional network structure of the carbon nanotube aerogel cooperates with the porous titanium, reflects and scatters the impact wave energy multiple times, and realizes multi-stage dissipation of "wave energy-thermal energy-mechanical energy". At the same time, the compression strength and impact toughness of the composite material are improved compared with those of pure titanium, and the performance retention rate is still extremely high, and the fatigue resistance is excellent.
[0033] 2. Through the dual action of chemical bonding (Si-O-Ti) and physical entanglement between TiO2 nanotube array (tube length 1-3 um) and carbon nanotube, the interfacial shear strength is improved, and the enhancement is higher than that of traditional mechanical embedding. The supercritical drying process effectively avoids the shrinkage and collapse of the aerogel by replacing CO2 at a rate of 0.1-0.5 MPa / min, so that the material maintains a low density of 0.03-0.15 g / cm 3 and a high specific surface area of 500-1000 m 2 / g, and the structural integrity is much higher than that of the material dried at normal pressure. In addition, a three-layer gradient structure design of outer dense titanium layer, intermediate filling layer and inner honeycomb-shaped porous titanium is adopted, so that the performance gradually changes from high stiffness to high energy absorption, the stress transfer efficiency is improved, and the stress concentration problem of traditional single structure is successfully avoided.
[0034] 3. The B2O3 glass phase generated by the decomposition of carbon borane derivative flows to fill the micro-cracks at 500-800 DEG C, and the strength recovery rate of the repaired material is extremely high, which greatly prolongs the service life; the integrated ZnO piezoelectric nanofiber can convert the impact energy into an electric signal, and the output voltage has a high linear relationship with the impact pressure (R 2>0.99), achieving real-time impact strength monitoring. In terms of corrosion resistance, the Ag-TiO2 heterojunction and carbon nanotube aerogel form a physical barrier, reducing the corrosion rate of the material in a 3.5wt% NaCl solution to ≤0.01mm / year, higher than that of pure titanium; the high thermal conductivity of the carbon nanotube network 5-15W / (m·K) can quickly conduct impact heat and prevent performance degradation caused by local overheating.
[0035] 4. Precise control of porosity ±2% is achieved by the quantitative relationship between pore-forming agent content and porosity (porosity = 40 + 40 × pore-forming agent mass / titanium powder mass); the filling efficiency is greatly improved and the production cycle is shortened through 10-30 cycles of pulse pressure vacuum impregnation process. In green manufacturing and cost control, the solvent recovery rate of supercritical CO2 drying process is extremely high, combined with the low-cost large-scale preparation technology of carbon nanotube aerogel, the overall cost of the composite material is lower than that of ceramic-based blast-resistant materials, and it has outstanding industrialization promotion value.
