Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of polymer materials, and in particular to a carbon fiber modified polyketone composite material and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] Polyketone (POK) is a semi-crystalline, high-performance polymer formed by alternating copolymerization of carbon monoxide and olefins (such as ethylene and propylene). Its regular carbonyl structure along its main chain endows the material with excellent mechanical strength, outstanding chemical resistance, superior wear resistance, high barrier properties, and good weather resistance. Based on these comprehensive properties, POK shows great application potential in automotive fuel system components, electronic and electrical connectors, mechanical parts such as gears and bearings, and packaging materials.
[0003] However, POK materials still face two key technical bottlenecks in their expansion into wider high-end applications: First, their melt processing window is relatively narrow, and their melt strength is highly sensitive to temperature. Improper temperature control during molding can easily lead to melt fracture, product defects, or degradation due to overheating, posing a serious challenge to the precise control of processing equipment and the stability of the process. Second, although POK itself possesses a certain degree of heat resistance, its heat distortion temperature and other indicators still need further improvement for applications requiring long-term operation under high temperature and high load conditions (such as automotive engine peripheral components and high-speed precision gears).
[0004] To overcome the above limitations, fiber reinforcement is commonly used in this field for modification. Carbon fiber (CF) is considered an ideal reinforcing material due to its extremely high specific strength, specific modulus, excellent heat resistance and low density. Introducing it into the POK matrix can theoretically significantly improve the mechanical properties and heat distortion temperature of the composite material. However, practice shows that simple physical blending has limited effect, mainly due to the following problems: (1) The surface of carbon fiber is chemically inert and smooth, resulting in weak interfacial adhesion between it and the POK matrix, which leads to low stress transfer efficiency, greatly reducing the reinforcing effect, and is prone to interfacial debonding, which becomes a crack source, affecting the toughness and fatigue life of the material; (2) The introduction of carbon fiber, especially when added in high content, will further aggravate the rheological complexity of the POK melt, which may make the already narrow processing window even more difficult to control, and the dispersion process is extremely demanding; (3) Excessive shearing fracture of carbon fiber during processing will lead to a decrease in its aspect ratio, weakening its reinforcing efficiency.
[0005] Currently, conventional methods for improving the compatibility of carbon fiber and polymer interfaces include surface sizing of the carbon fiber or the use of coupling agents. While general-purpose sizing agents (such as polyamide-based and epoxy resin-based agents) can provide some improvement, their specific interactions with the POK matrix are limited, and it is difficult to precisely control the structure and properties of the interfacial phase at the nanoscale. Furthermore, existing technologies do not offer clear and effective solutions for systematically optimizing composite process parameters (such as screw assembly, feeding method, and processing temperature) from carbon fiber selection and surface treatment to matching with specific matrices (such as POK) to significantly improve mechanical and heat resistance properties while broadening the material's processability window. Most studies remain at the level of simple examination of single variables (such as fiber content), lacking a deep understanding of the synergistic design and control of the entire "resin-fiber interface-processing technology" system.
[0006] Therefore, developing an innovative method that can fundamentally strengthen interfacial bonding, achieve multi-scale synergistic enhancement, and simultaneously endow POK composite materials with a wider processing window and higher heat resistance has become the key to promoting the application of POK in high-end engineering fields, and is also a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved in this field.

[0043] Given the high melt viscosity and narrow processing window of polyketone (POK), and its susceptibility to cross-linking and thermal degradation under high temperature and strong mechanical shear, its heat resistance is limited. In existing technologies using carbon fiber reinforced POK, excessive carbon fiber breakage and short retention lengths often occur due to conventional screw element combinations, carbon fiber addition methods, and low interfacial bonding strength, reducing the reinforcement effect and failing to effectively improve thermal stability. This application provides a carbon fiber modified POK composite material, which, through the addition of POK, modified short carbon fibers, compatibilizers, and additives, and by adjusting the formulation and optimizing the process, gives POK excellent mechanical strength and heat resistance, and effectively broadens the processing window.
[0044] Based on the characteristics of POK material, the selection of modified carbon fiber short fibers and surface coating materials, and the optimization of their composite process with POK matrix, especially the screw combination and feeding process in the twin-screw extrusion process, are crucial for preparing carbon fiber modified polyketone composite materials with wide processing window, high heat resistance and excellent comprehensive performance.

In some specific implementations, the mixing is carried out in a high-speed mixer. During the mixing process in the high-speed mixer, some additives may be added as needed. These additives can be one or more commonly used auxiliaries in the art, including antioxidants, external lubricants, internal lubricants, anti-fiber leakage agents, or ultraviolet absorbers, without particular limitation.

[0078] (2) Silane coupling agent KH550 hydrolysate: KH550 is mixed with ethanol and water in a certain proportion (KH550:ethanol:water = 1:9:1 volume ratio), and stirred at room temperature for 1 hour to obtain a clear KH550 hydrolysate prepolymer solution.
[0079] (3) Modified dispersion: The aramid nanofiber dispersion prepared above is slowly mixed with KH550 hydrolysate under stirring conditions, wherein the mass ratio of aramid nanofiber to KH550 is 1:1, and the pH value of the mixed dispersion is adjusted to 4~9 with ammonia or acetic acid.
[0080] (4) Impregnation treatment: First, the PAN-based sheet carbon fiber short fibers are pretreated by high temperature calcination (500℃) to remove the outer oil stains and sizing agent on the surface. Then, they are impregnated in the modified dispersion prepared in step (3) at a temperature of 80℃. The uniformity of the dispersion is maintained by mechanical stirring and the fiber is kept in full contact with the liquid. The impregnation time is 1 hour. After drying, the PAN-based sheet KH550 / aramid nanofiber surface modified carbon fiber short fibers are obtained.
[0081] (5) Sizing treatment: First, Nylon 6 is added to a 40% formic acid aqueous solution to prepare a sizing agent with suitable viscosity, uniformity and transparency. Then, the PAN-based sheet KH550 / aramid nanofiber surface-modified carbon fiber short fiber obtained in step (4) is immersed in the prepared sizing agent for 0.5 hours to ensure that the fiber bundle is fully wetted and the liquid volume is precisely controlled. Finally, after drying and curing at low temperature (80℃) and high temperature (150℃) and cooling, the sheet KH550 / aramid nanofiber surface-modified carbon fiber short fiber with PAN-based PA sizing agent is obtained.

[0179] The test results are shown in Table 1-2.

[0183]
[0184] According to the data from Examples 1-32 in Tables 1-2, the mechanical strength of the carbon fiber modified polyketone composite material increases with the increase of carbon fiber short fiber content. The compatibilizer maleic anhydride grafted carbon monoxide-ethylene-propylene polyketone copolymer significantly affects the physical properties of the composite material, mainly due to the reinforcing effect of carbon fiber and high interfacial bonding strength, resulting in significant improvement in mechanical properties such as tensile strength, flexural strength, and elastic modulus.
[0185] Comparing the data from Examples 1-32 with those from Comparative Examples 1-4, the composite materials prepared in these examples exhibit higher mechanical strength. This is attributed to the coating containing active groups on the carbon fiber surface, and the presence of reactive functional groups on the surface of the silane coupling agent KH550 that can chemically react or strongly interact with the polyketide compatibilizer. During melt blending, the aramid nanofiber material acts as a "molecular bridge," with one end bonded to the active groups on the carbon fiber coating via its surface reactive functional groups, while the other end is physically entangled or embedded in the POK matrix through hydrogen bonding, thus constructing a strongly chemically bonded interfacial transition layer between the carbon fiber and the POK matrix. A large number of "bridging points" form a three-dimensional mechanically interlocked network structure of "aramid nanofiber-carbon fiber-POK resin" that runs through the entire structure. The uniformly dispersed aramid nanofibers and the formed three-dimensional network structure act as "physical crosslinking points" for the POK melt, improving melt strength and elasticity, enabling the composite material to maintain good processing rheology over a wider temperature and shear rate range, and reducing the risk of degradation.
[0186] Simultaneously, through optimized selection of POK resin, compatibilizer, and modified carbon fiber short fibers, and the design of the twin-screw extruder screw element combination and side-feeding process (especially the combination of ZME elements in the mixing and dispersion section), the dispersion and distribution uniformity of carbon fibers in POK resin were significantly improved, greatly enhancing interfacial compatibility and stress transfer efficiency while maintaining the effective fiber length, fundamentally solving the interfacial debonding problem. This structure allows heat to be rapidly transferred and dispersed through carbon fibers, and the enhanced interfacial bonding can resist high-temperature deformation, thereby significantly improving the heat resistance of the composite material.
[0187] Heat resistance tests (heating from 25°C to 800°C at a rate of 10°C / min under nitrogen protection) showed that the temperature at which the composites of Examples 1-32 lost 5% of their weight (T5%) was 25-40°C higher than that of the control examples, and the maximum thermogravimetric peak temperature (Tmaximum thermogravimetric peak) was increased by 30°C, indicating a significant increase in processing temperature. While maintaining excellent mechanical properties, this application effectively mitigates the thermal degradation of the polyketone backbone and improves the dispersion and distribution of carbon fibers in the resin, maintaining their effective length, through optimization of formulation and process parameters. This results in more stable melt flow during POK resin processing, controlled shear heat generation, and ultimately improved processing rheological behavior of the composite material, broadening its processing window. This application provides an innovative and effective solution for preparing high-performance, easily processable polyketone composites.

Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this application, based on the technical solution and application concept of this application, should be included within the scope of protection of this application.
