Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of composite material technology, specifically to a low-temperature media leakage-proof carbon fiber composite material with self-healing and adaptive sealing functions, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology
[0002] The development of materials for aerospace launch vehicle tanks has primarily evolved from aluminum-magnesium alloys and aluminum-copper alloys to aluminum-lithium alloys, and is now moving towards carbon fiber composites. Carbon fiber composites far surpass metallic materials in specific strength and specific stiffness, while also possessing excellent fatigue resistance, vibration resistance, and superior formability. They are particularly suitable for large structures and integral structural molding, effectively reducing the number of components and connection processes, making them an ideal choice for achieving high performance and lightweight design in aerospace equipment.
[0003] Compared to traditional metal tanks, carbon fiber composite materials can reduce the weight of liquid oxygen tank structures by approximately 25%, and this weight reduction becomes even more significant as the size of cryogenic medium tanks increases, thus contributing to lower overall launch costs. Therefore, the research and application of carbon fiber composite tanks has become an inevitable trend. However, carbon fiber composite materials still face key challenges in practical applications. Although they possess certain oxidation resistance properties, key thermal performance parameters such as ignition point, flash point, and thermal decomposition temperature are all lower than those of metallic materials. Under high-energy instantaneous impact, the material may experience a rapid increase in local temperature, potentially leading to fire or even explosion. Therefore, improving the compatibility of carbon fiber composite materials with liquid oxygen has become a core issue that urgently needs to be addressed.
[0004] Furthermore, the significant difference in thermal expansion coefficients between carbon fiber and the resin matrix leads to high residual stress when the molded composite material cools from high temperature to room temperature or experiences large temperature differences under cryogenic tank conditions due to deformation mismatch. Under the coupling effect of internal mechanical stress, microcracks are easily induced at the resin matrix, fiber, and resin interface. In continuous or cyclic cryogenic and stressful environments, these microcracks gradually propagate, forming single-layer transverse cracks and interlaminar cracks, eventually developing into leakage channels and causing media leakage in the tank. Notably, under cryogenic conditions, leakage failure of carbon fiber composite tanks often precedes structural load-bearing failure. Therefore, effectively improving the compatibility of carbon fiber composites with cryogenic fuels and suppressing their leakage behavior in cryogenic environments has become crucial for promoting the engineering application of this type of material in cryogenic media tanks.

Under near-infrared 808 nm irradiation, the surface temperature can rise by ≥30℃ within 30 seconds, which can be used to trigger shape memory recovery.
[0026] Furthermore, the molar ratio of 4,4'-hexafluoroisopropylphthalic anhydride, 4,4'-diaminodiphenyl ether, and 3,5-diaminobenzoic acid-3-trifluoromethylphenyl ester in step S1 is 1:(0.5-1):(0.1-0.3).
[0027] Furthermore, the intrinsic viscosity of the fluorinated side-chain polyimide is 0.6-0.8 dL / g.

[0035] The beneficial technical effects of this invention are as follows:
[0036] 1. This invention provides a simple and easy method for preparing a carbon fiber composite material with self-healing and adaptive sealing functions that prevents leakage of low-temperature media.
[0037] 2. This invention provides a carbon fiber composite material with self-healing and adaptive sealing functions to prevent leakage of low-temperature media. This material is an intelligent anti-seepage composite material that integrates "active sensing, autonomous repair, and remote triggering". It is compatible with liquid oxygen and has high anti-seepage performance.
[0038] 3. This invention constructs a synergistic protection system consisting of molecular-level self-healing (microcapsules), macroscopic-level active compression (shape memory), and remote precise control (photothermal triggering). Specifically, on the one hand, this invention introduces self-healing microcapsules based on dynamic disulfide bonds into the impermeable layer for the first time. When microcracks occur, the capsules rupture and release the repair agent, enabling autonomous healing of cracks at the molecular level, transforming the irreversible process of "damage-leakage" into a reversible process of "damage-repair-functional recovery." On the other hand, this invention introduces a shape memory polyimide film containing MXene. MXene, as a highly efficient photothermal conversion agent, can generate localized heat under external near-infrared light irradiation, remotely and precisely triggering the shrinkage of the shape memory polymer, thereby compressing and deforming the interfacial microcracks to achieve macroscopic-scale active sealing. These three interact to form a comprehensive, multi-dimensional inhibition of the initiation and propagation of microcracks, solving technical problems that cannot be overcome by a single mechanism.

After 100 cycles of high and low temperature cycling from -196℃ to +120℃, the carbon fiber composite material of the present invention exhibits a helium permeability of <1×10⁻⁶. -6 Pa·m³ / s; interlaminar shear strength retention rate ≥80%. In addition, this carbon fiber composite material has excellent in-service self-healing ability. After heat treatment at 80-120℃ for 30 minutes, the repair efficiency of surface microcracks can reach more than 80%, and the performance is almost completely restored. More importantly, with the help of the photothermal conversion properties of MXene, in-situ near-infrared light repair can be achieved without disassembly, providing a solution for the whole life cycle maintenance of aerospace equipment.
