Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of polymer materials and energetic materials, and specifically relates to a self-healing energetic adhesive and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] In recent years, numerous explosions involving energetic materials have highlighted their safety issues. With the increasing energy density of energetic materials, greater emphasis needs to be placed on improving their insensitivity to enhance the survivability of weapon systems on the battlefield and the safety of ammunition storage, transportation, and handling.
[0003] Currently, polymer binders have undergone several generations of development, evolving from polyisobutylene, nitroglycerin-plasticized nitrocellulose, polyacrylates, and fluororubber to commonly used polyurethane systems such as isocyanate and hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene (HTPB), and energetic binders such as glycidyl azide (GAP). The binder content in PBX is typically 10%. As a special high-filler composite material, the properties of explosive particles, binders, and interfacial bonding significantly affect the mechanical properties of PBX and the desensitizing effect of the binder. Currently, polyurethane bonding systems, represented by HTPB and GAP, have achieved significant results in improving energy output and optimizing reaction control. However, during storage and transportation, environmental factors, stress, and material aging can lead to microcracks in PBX, damaging the integrity of the explosive charge structure and causing performance degradation and safety risks. Furthermore, most commonly used energetic binders use organic solvents in their synthesis, which have a certain environmental impact. Using a water suspension granulation process achieves "zero" organic solvent addition, providing a safe, efficient, and solvent-free green manufacturing process for PBX.
[0004] Therefore, providing a self-healing energetic adhesive is of great significance for preventing microcracks in PBX, improving safety, and promoting green manufacturing processes. Summary of the Invention

[0032] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages and outstanding effects:
[0033] 1. Since the method for preparing self-healing energetic adhesives in this invention is free radical emulsion polymerization, compared with the preparation of energetic adhesives by ring-opening polymerization involving organic solvents, this invention achieves a "zero" organic solvent emulsion polymerization system, thus optimizing the green preparation process of energetic adhesives.
[0034] 2. Because the present invention utilizes a crosslinking agent containing disulfide bonds for post-curing reaction to construct a crosslinking network structure interwoven with disulfide bonds and ionic bonds, PBX has excellent and stable mechanical properties, solving the problem of poor mechanical properties of PBX prepared by conventional adhesives.
[0035] 3. By introducing azide-based energetic segments, the copolyacrylate adhesive is endowed with energetic properties, thereby improving the burst performance of PBX.
[0036] 4. The reversible displacement reaction of disulfide bonds in the crosslinking agent and the large number of hydrogen bonds in the system allow for dynamic and reversible exchange reactions of disulfide bonds (-SS-) at damaged sites of the material under room temperature or slight heating conditions, reconnecting broken molecular chains. Simultaneously, the abundant hydrogen bonds between polymer chains can also reform at the interface. The synergistic effect of these two factors enables the self-healing of microcracks, giving PBX prepared by this adhesive system a certain degree of self-repairing ability. It can self-repair after microcracks are generated in the material, reducing microcracks in PBX during production, storage, and transportation, extending the service life of the material, and possessing both energetic and self-healing effects.

[0090]
[0091] As can be seen from the above examples, Example 4 had an excessively high glass transition temperature, resulting in overly rigid polymer chains and a long healing time; Example 5 had an excessively high glass transition temperature, resulting in overly rigid polymer chains, poor self-healing performance, and inability to repair; Example 9 had an excessively high proportion of energetic monomers, with a large proportion of rigid segments and a small proportion of flexible segments, making the emulsion unstable during polymerization and unable to coat the energetic crystals; Example 10 did not use a crosslinking agent, making it impossible to construct a self-healing network interwoven with disulfide bonds and ionic bonds; the emulsion polymerization in samples 18 and 19 was unstable because the monomers ethyl 2-azidoacrylate (AzEACE) and isopropyl 1-azidoacrylate (AzPACE) were unstable, easily ignited, and dangerous. Sample 21 had poor self-healing performance due to its low binder content, and was almost impossible to repair.
[0092] The energetic composite material synthesized using this patent exhibits excellent self-healing properties. Its self-healing after the formation of microcracks extends the material's service life, and it also demonstrates superior and stable mechanical properties. In comparison, Sample 1 possesses both good mechanical properties and good self-healing performance, providing guidance for the current development of green synthetic self-healing energetic adhesives.
