Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of high-performance fiber technology, and in particular to a polyimide fiber, its preparation method, and its applications. Background Technology

[0002] Polyimide fibers, due to their excellent high-temperature resistance, mechanical properties, and chemical corrosion resistance, have significant application value in fields such as high-temperature filtration, composite material reinforcement, and electronic insulation. With the expansion of application scenarios, traditional circular cross-section polyimide fibers can no longer meet high-end demands in terms of specific surface area and interfacial bonding strength, making flat polyimide fibers a research hotspot.

[0003] Existing technologies already contain some research on polyimide fibers with irregular cross-sections. Chinese patent CN201010572496.1 discloses a method for preparing polyimide fibers by adjusting the composition of the spinning solution, coagulation conditions, and drawing parameters to control the cross-sectional shape. However, it uses a single-stage coagulation bath, lacks a clear gradient coagulation design, and the formation of a flat structure depends on the coordination of multiple parameters, resulting in poor stability and the absence of a dedicated shape-preserving mechanism. Chinese patent CN201210009233.0 uses a circular spinneret and adjusts the coagulation bath parameters to allow the fiber to naturally form a kidney-shaped cross-section. However, its controllable range for cross-sectional flatness is narrow (only about 1.3 times), and it lacks a forced shape-preserving mechanism, making it difficult to guarantee consistency in industrial production.

[0004] In summary, existing technologies have the following shortcomings: 1) Flat structure formation relies on natural diffusion or complex templates, resulting in poor shape retention and a narrow controllable range for flatness ratio; 2) The coagulation bath design is simplistic and lacks gradient control, leading to insufficient fiber density; 3) There is a lack of specialized forced shape retention methods, resulting in poor product consistency in industrial production; 4) Some technical routes have low production capacity and high costs, making them difficult to adapt to large-scale production needs. Therefore, developing a shape-stable, structurally dense, and industrially adaptable flat polyimide fiber preparation technology is of great significance. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the present invention aims to solve the technical problems of difficulty in maintaining shape, poor structural density and low industrial adaptability in the preparation of existing flat polyimide fibers, and to provide a polyimide fiber with controllable flatness, excellent mechanical properties and suitable for large-scale production and its preparation method.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a polyimide fiber having a rectangular, elliptical, kidney-shaped, dumbbell-shaped or other flat cross-section, with an asymmetry ratio (ratio of major axis to minor axis) of 2 to 20; a fiber bundle linear density of 50 to 5000 dtex; a single filament tensile strength of 3 to 40 cN / dtex; and an initial modulus of 50 to 1800 cN / dtex.

[0007] It should be noted that the fiber having a rectangular cross-section means that the fiber cross-section is close to a rectangle, but the corners are not absolutely right angles (may be slightly rounded due to spinning process, etc.) or the side length has a slight deviation (such as ±5%).

[0008] Preferably, the polyimide fiber has a rectangular cross-section. The flatness ratio is preferably 5 to 15, for example 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, or 14.

[0009] When the polyimide fiber has a rectangular cross-section, it utilizes the "high specific surface area, orientation, and mechanical interlocking effect" of the flat structure, and avoids the problems of "adhesion, stress concentration, and processing difficulties" that may exist in other flat shapes through the "regularity of the rectangle and the micro-rounded corner design". It is especially suitable for scenarios with comprehensive requirements for "mechanical properties, interface function, and textile processability" (such as high-end textile fabrics, high-efficiency filter materials, and composite material reinforcement phases).

[0010] The present invention also provides a method for preparing the polyimide fiber, which includes the following steps: 1) Preparation of polyamic acid solution: Aromatic dianhydride monomer and aromatic diamine monomer are polycondensed in an aprotic polar solvent to generate polyamic acid solution; 2) Spinning and forming: Wet spinning or dry-spinning is carried out using a spinneret with narrow slit spinnerets. The polyamic acid solution is extruded and then solidified in a multi-stage coagulation bath. 3) Post-treatment: The nascent fibers are subjected to hot stretching and gradient imidization to obtain the finished polyimide fiber.

[0011] Preferably, the major axis length of the slit-type spinneret is 0.05~0.5mm, the minor axis length is 0.02~0.1mm, and the number of spinnerets is 10~5000.

[0012] Preferably, the multi-stage coagulation bath includes a first coagulation bath, a second coagulation bath, and a third coagulation bath; the first coagulation bath is a mixture of water and solvent, with a solvent volume ratio of 5% to 20% and a temperature of 10℃ to 40℃; the second coagulation bath is a mixture of water and solvent, with a solvent volume ratio of 1% to 5% and a temperature of 5℃ to 50℃; and the third coagulation bath is pure water with a temperature of 10℃ to 60℃.

[0013] Preferably, the coagulation bath is provided with staggered guide rollers to make the fiber spinning process follow an "S" shaped path.

[0014] Specifically, the preparation method of the present invention includes the following steps: 1) Preparation of polyamic acid solution: Aromatic dianhydride monomers and aromatic diamine monomers are polycondensed in an aprotic polar solvent (such as N,N-dimethylformamide, N,N-dimethylacetamide, N-methylpyrrolidone, etc.) at -5℃~30℃ for 5~20 hours to generate a polyamic acid solution with a solid content of 12%~30%; 2) Spinning and forming: Wet spinning or dry-spinning wet spinning is carried out using a spinneret with slit-type spinnerets. The spinneret has a long axis of 0.05~0.5mm, a short axis of 0.02~0.1mm, and 10~5000 holes. The extruded spinning solution enters a multi-stage coagulation bath. The coagulation bath is equipped with staggered guide rollers to make the fiber travel in an "S" shape. 3) Post-treatment: The nascent fibers are washed with water to remove the solvent, then dried at 100~240℃, and then subjected to gradient imidization treatment at 200~600℃, while being stretched by 1.5~3.0 times to finally obtain the polyimide fiber product.

[0015] The core of the multi-stage coagulation bath design lies in the following: the first coagulation bath (solvent volume ratio 5%~20%, 10℃~40℃) achieves rapid coagulation and maintains a flat structure; the second coagulation bath (solvent volume ratio 1%~5%, 5℃~50℃) promotes double diffusion; and the third coagulation bath (pure water, 10℃~60℃) completely removes the solvent and ensures a dense fiber structure.

[0016] This invention further provides the application of the polyimide fibers in high-temperature filtration materials, composite materials, or flexible electronic substrates. The polyimide fibers of this invention can be further processed into various products, such as polyimide staple fibers comprising the polyimide fibers of this invention, with a fiber length of 10 mm to 100 mm and a crimp count of 2 to 50 crimps / inch; fabrics comprising the polyimide fibers of this invention; and prepregs comprising the polyimide fibers or fabrics of this invention, with a fiber or fabric volume content of 30% to 80%.

[0017] The present invention can achieve the following beneficial effects: 1) By combining the slit-type spinneret with the "S"-shaped guide roller for forced shape retention, the flatness ratio can be controlled within a wide range (2~20), resulting in good product consistency; 2) The three-stage gradient coagulation bath design enables step-by-step control of "rapid shape preservation - full diffusion - complete desolvation", resulting in a dense fiber structure and excellent mechanical properties; 3) Based on the improvement of traditional wet spinning process, it does not require complex templates or special equipment, has low equipment modification costs, and is suitable for large-scale industrial production; 4) The flat structure significantly increases the specific surface area of ​​the fiber, enhances the interfacial bonding force in composite materials (the flexural modulus can be increased by more than 20%), and significantly optimizes the filtration efficiency and dust removal effect in high-temperature filtration.

[0046] Product performance: The cut surface is irregularly flat with an flatness ratio of 2.1; the fiber bundle linear density is 660 dtex; the tensile strength of a single filament is 6 cN / dtex; the initial modulus is 75 cN / dtex; the flatness ratio fluctuates within a range of ±1.2, and the cross-sectional consistency is poor.

[0047] The experimental conditions and results of the above embodiments and comparative examples are summarized in Table 1 below.

[0048] Table 1: First, this invention solves the problems of difficulty in maintaining the shape of flat polyimide fibers, poor structural density, and low industrial adaptability in existing technologies through the synergistic design of slit-type spinnerets, a three-stage gradient coagulation bath, and "S"-shaped guide rollers. The results of examples and comparative examples show that the products of this invention have a wide controllable flatness range (2~20), excellent mechanical properties (tensile strength 12~28 cN / dtex), high production efficiency, and good product consistency, demonstrating significant application advantages in high-temperature filtration, composite materials, and other fields.

[0049] Secondly, as seen in the examples, fibers with a flatness ratio in the range of 5 to 15 (such as 8.5 in Example 1, 9.2 in Example 2, and 13.2 in Example 4) exhibit excellent mechanical properties (tensile strength of 5 to 24 cN / dtex and initial modulus of 70 to 850 cN / dtex). Furthermore, with the synergistic shape preservation achieved by the slit spinneret and S-shaped guide roller, the product cross-section exhibits good consistency and small fluctuations in flatness ratio, which can meet the stability requirements of large-scale industrial production.

[0050] Furthermore, as seen in the examples, the rectangular cross-section possesses the typical advantages of a flat structure. For instance, in Example 1, the rectangular fiber (flatness ratio 8.5) exhibits a single filament tensile strength of 18 cN / dtex and an initial modulus of 850 cN / dtex, far superior to the mechanical properties of the irregularly shaped cross-section fiber in the comparative example. Additionally, the rectangular cross-section can be precisely formed through a slit-type spinneret, and combined with the forced shape-maintaining effect of the S-shaped path guide roller, effectively controlling cross-sectional dimensional deviations. The rectangular fiber in Example 1 exhibits high cross-sectional consistency, while in Comparative Example 3, which lacks an S-shaped guide roller, even using the same spinneret, only an irregular flat cross-section can be formed, with a flatness ratio fluctuation of ±1.2.

[0051] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to this invention without departing from its spirit and scope. Therefore, if these modifications and variations fall within the scope of the claims of this invention and their equivalents, this invention also intends to include these modifications and variations.
