Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of resin synthesis technology, and more specifically, relates to a method for preparing a low-gas-yield, easily moldable thermosetting polyimide resin. Background Technology

[0002] Thermosetting polyimide resins are irreplaceable in the manufacture of high-temperature components in the aerospace field due to their excellent high-temperature resistance (Tg > 400℃) and mechanical strength. For example, aircraft engine parts need to maintain structural integrity in extreme environments above 400℃. However, traditional polyimide resins have the following significant drawbacks:

[0003] 1. High viscosity leads to poor processability: The high melt viscosity of the resin (>5000 cp.s) makes it difficult to uniformly wet the fiber reinforcement, resulting in weak interfacial bonding of the composite material. Furthermore, the high viscosity increases the molding difficulty of complex components, limiting its application in precision parts.

[0004] 2. Incomplete imidization leads to high gas production: Resins synthesized by traditional processes are often imide prepolymers (non-ring-closed polyimides) with a large number of residual carboxyl groups (-COOH) and amino groups (-NH2). These active groups decompose during curing to produce volatile gases (such as H2O and CO2), which increases the porosity of the composite material and causes the flexural strength at 400℃ to drop sharply to 23 MPa.

[0005] Third, it is difficult to balance high-temperature performance and processability: Existing technologies enhance heat resistance by increasing molecular weight, but sacrifice melt flowability. If the imidization process is simplified, although the viscosity is reduced to 378 cp.s, the degree of imidization is insufficient (Td=484℃), resulting in a tensile strength of only 178 MPa at 400℃.

[0006] Therefore, the present invention provides a method for preparing a low-gas-production, easily moldable thermosetting polyimide resin. Summary of the Invention
