Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the field of fibers, and particularly relates to a kind of carbon fibers with micro-groove structure and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] Polyacrylonitrile (PAN) based carbon fiber is the most widely used variety among PAN-based, viscose-based and pitch-based three carbon fiber varieties. PAN-based carbon fibers are divided into high-strength type, high-model type and ultra-high-strength high-model type, wherein the high-strength type can be divided into dry-wet process and wet process. The carbon fiber prepared by wet process has regular groove structure on the surface, and the carbon fiber prepared by dry-wet process has smooth surface.
[0003] PAN-based carbon fiber has outstanding tensile properties. From the perspective of the tensile properties of carbon fiber, the surface groove structure is an opening defect, which is one of the key factors affecting the high performance of carbon fiber. The carbon fiber prepared by dry-wet process can realize the ultra-high strengthening of carbon fiber, and the ultra-high strength carbon fiber reported at home and abroad at present is prepared by dry-wet process, including T1100 grade and T1200 grade represented by Toray carbon fiber. At the same time, the stream solidification characteristics of dry-wet process and wet process spinneret lead to that the radial structure of dry-wet process fiber is more homogeneous, the axial orientation is better, and it is more conducive to the preparation of high-performance carbon fiber.
[0004] High-performance carbon fiber is usually used in the form of composite material, and the interfacial bonding capacity of carbon fiber and resin matrix is one of the important factors affecting the performance of composite material. The surface groove structure of carbon fiber has strong physical engagement with the resin matrix, which can improve the interfacial bonding capacity of the two. The smooth surface of carbon fiber has little physical engagement, which is not conducive to the exertion of the mechanical properties of carbon fiber in the composite material.
[0005] In order to comply with the development trend of high-performance carbon fiber, ensure the tensile properties of carbon fiber, and at the same time, the interfacial performance is also a key point that cannot be ignored. Therefore, developing a kind of carbon fiber with the surface process characteristics of wet process and dry-wet process carbon fiber is a powerful method to solve the balance of tensile properties and interfacial properties.

[0039] Further, in the above preparation process of the spinning dope, the molar ratio of the first initiator to the second initiator is (2-3):(2-3); and the second initiator is added continuously at a uniform speed and is added completely within 30 min-60 min, and the reaction is continued for 6-9 hours after the addition is completed, and then the reaction is stopped.

[0049] In some embodiments of the present application, the pre-oxidation adopts 4-6 gradient temperature raising temperature zones, the pre-oxidation starting temperature is 180-220 DEG C, the final temperature is 250-300 DEG C, the total pre-oxidation time is 40-100 min, and the draw ratio in the pre-oxidation process is 30%-80% of the breaking stress of the pre-oxidized fiber obtained after the pre-oxidation, preferably 40%-60%, so that the pre-oxidized fiber with a bulk density of 1.32-1.47 g / cm 3 The drawing in the pre-oxidation process is beneficial to the arrangement of the reaction generated ring structure to the preferred orientation direction, and the moderate drawing is more optimal.
[0050] In some embodiments of the present application, the carbonization treatment comprises low-temperature carbonization and high-temperature carbonization, the low-temperature carbonization uses high-purity nitrogen as a protective gas, the oxygen content in the nitrogen is less than 5 ppm, the temperature is 300-800℃, the time is 1.5-6 minutes, the draft ratio of the low-temperature carbonization process is 20%-70% of the breaking stress of the fiber obtained by the low-temperature carbonization, preferably 40%-50%, and moderate draft is conducive to the orientation and arrangement of the carbon structure in the fiber and improves the performance; the high-temperature carbonization uses high-purity nitrogen as a protective gas, the oxygen content in the nitrogen is less than 3 ppm, the temperature is 1200-1800℃, and after 1-4 minutes, carbon fibers with a micro-groove structure on the surface can be obtained, and the Ra obtained by AFM test is 5 nm-25 nm.
[0051] The method for testing the Ra of the carbon fiber surface by AFM comprises: using an atomic force microscope (AFM) to characterize the micro-area roughness and surface morphology of the carbon fiber.

Each sample is tested 3 times, and the average value is taken.
[0052] The method for preparing the carbon fiber with a micro-groove structure according to the present application has at least one of the following effects:
[0053] (1) From the perspective of polymerization control: the present application realizes the synergistic control of polymer and polymer molecular weight and molecular weight distribution in the spinning solution by continuously adding initiators in the middle and late stages of polymerization, on the one hand, PAN molecular chain is lengthened to the required molecular weight, which is beneficial to the high performance of the fiber; on the other hand, by continuously adding initiators in the middle and late stages, the initiators can diffuse uniformly in the relatively sticky system (avoiding local massive initiation), the added initiators can initiate the monomers that have not reacted in the system, and also can act as a trapping agent for long-chain macromolecular radicals, realizing termination reaction, thereby avoiding or alleviating the problems of excessive molecular weight and excessively wide molecular weight distribution caused by the rapid rise of polymer system viscosity due to gelation effect and macromolecular chain double radical termination. If the initiator is added when the viscosity is lower than 300 poise, the PAN molecular weight generated in the system is relatively low, and there are a large number of unreacted monomers, the added initiator initiates the monomers, and the monomers no longer participate in the addition reaction of the original PAN polymer radical, finally resulting in low PAN molecular weight in the system, affecting the performance of PAN fiber and carbon fiber. If the initiator is added when the viscosity is higher than 550 poise, the polymer system is too sticky, and the added initiator is difficult to collide with the monomers, the PAN long-chain macromolecular radical may collide with the initiator to terminate the reaction, or there may be negative effects such as automatic acceleration caused by PAN macromolecular chain radical double-click termination, and the added initiator cannot control the polymerization process.
[0054] (2) From the perspective of carbon fiber tensile performance: the present application retains the main line of dry-jet wet spinning process, so that the spinning solution stream avoids the problem of poor radial structure uniformity of the primary fiber caused by the high extrusion swell ratio of 3-5 times in wet spinning, which is beneficial to the preparation of high-performance carbon fiber.
[0055] (3) From the perspective of carbon fiber and resin matrix interface performance: the surface of the carbon fiber prepared by the conventional wet spinning process has a regular groove structure, and the Ra obtained by AFM test is between 30-50 nm according to the process adjustment in the preparation process. The Ra of the carbon fiber prepared by the present application is between 5-25 nm. The surface of the carbon fiber prepared by the conventional dry-wet process has an AFM test Ra of 1-3 nm. From the perspective of carbon fiber interface physical engagement, the interface performance of the carbon fiber prepared by the present application is better than that of the carbon fiber prepared by the dry-wet process. After the same anodic oxidation treatment and using the same resin matrix, the interlaminar shear strength of the carbon fiber prepared by the present application is increased by 15%-25% compared with that of the carbon fiber prepared by the conventional dry-wet process.
[0056] The present application will be described below with reference to specific examples, it should be noted that these examples are merely descriptive, and should not limit the present application in any way.
