Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of polymer materials technology, specifically relating to an impact-resistant PEEK composite material and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) is one of the most representative polyaryletherketone polymers and is a thermoplastic resin with the best overall performance. It possesses outstanding mechanical properties and exhibits excellent performance in high-temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, flame retardancy, radiation resistance, and electrical insulation. With the continuous development of science and technology and the ever-expanding demand for high-performance materials, the global production of PEEK materials has rapidly increased, leading to its widespread application in the automotive, machining, aerospace, biomedical, and electronics industries.

[0003] However, despite PEEK's outstanding overall performance, its impact resistance in certain specific applications, especially under low-temperature or high-speed impact conditions, remains insufficient. Pure PEEK resin itself exhibits a degree of brittleness, and its notched impact strength is lower compared to other high-toughness engineering plastics. This significantly limits its further application in components that need to withstand severe dynamic loads or impact wear. To further improve the overall performance of PEEK, in practical applications, PEEK materials are mostly blended with other inorganic particles or fibers to prepare composite materials. Common preparation processes for PEEK composite materials include melt blending, solution blending, and in-situ polymerization.

[0004] In practical applications, to further improve the strength and wear resistance of specialty engineering plastics, they are usually modified. Carbon materials are the most commonly used. For example, the tensile strength of pure PEEK injection-molded samples is 95–105 MPa, while adding 30 wt% short-cut carbon fiber reinforcement can increase the tensile strength to over 200 MPa, while also improving wear resistance. However, the increase in strength inevitably leads to a decrease in plasticity, with the elongation at break dropping below 2%. Furthermore, due to the inherent inertness of PEEK, its compatibility with inorganic fibers is poor, resulting in limited strength gains and significant toughness loss, severely impacting the toughness of PEEK materials and their use in many applications.

[0005] Therefore, developing a new type of PEEK composite material that can achieve a substantial breakthrough in impact resistance while maintaining the inherent high performance of PEEK resin, especially taking into account the impact toughness at high and low temperatures, has become a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved in this field. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide an impact-resistant PEEK composite material and its preparation method, so as to solve the problem of poor mechanical properties of pure PEEK materials in the prior art.

[0007] The objective of this invention can be achieved through the following technical solutions: The first aspect of this invention provides an impact-resistant PEEK composite material, comprising, by weight, the following raw materials: 50-78 servings of PEEK; 8-15 parts of modified halloysite nanotubes; 1-3 parts of boron nitride; 3-5 parts lubricant; Antioxidant 0.1 to 1 part; The modified halloysite nanotubes were prepared by the following steps: Carboxylated halloysite nanotubes were added to N,N-dimethylformamide and sonicated for 0.5–1 h to obtain a suspension. Modified polyethersulfone, N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, and 4-dimethylaminopyridine were added to N,N-dimethylformamide and stirred for 10–15 min to obtain a mixture. The above suspension and mixture were then mixed and stirred under a nitrogen atmosphere for 24–26 h. The mixture was filtered, washed 3–5 times with distilled water, and finally dried in a vacuum oven at 80 °C for 24 h to obtain modified halloysite nanotubes.

[0008] As a further embodiment of the present invention, the ratio of carboxylated halloysite nanotubes to N,N-dimethylformamide is 0.5–0.6 g: 100 mL; the ratio of modified polyethersulfone, N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, 4-dimethylaminopyridine, and N,N-dimethylformamide is 5.5–5.8 g: 20–21 g: 1.50–1.54 g: 200 mL.

[0009] As a further embodiment of the present invention, the modified polyethersulfone is prepared by the following steps: Polyethersulfone was slowly added to a mixed acid solution, and the mixture was heated to 55–60°C and stirred for 6.0–6.5 h. After cooling, the mixture was filtered, and the solid was washed with distilled water 3–5 times. Then, it was dried in a vacuum oven at 80°C for 12 h to obtain nitrated polyethersulfone. Tin chloride and hydrochloric acid were added to ethanol, and then nitrated polyethersulfone was added. The mixture was heated to 55–60°C and stirred for 4.0–4.5 h. After cooling to room temperature, the mixture was filtered, and the solid was washed with distilled water 2–3 times. Finally, it was dried in a vacuum oven at 100°C for 24 h to obtain modified polyethersulfone.

[0010] As a further embodiment of the present invention, the ratio of polyethersulfone to mixed acid solution is 10g:70mL; wherein the mixed acid solution is prepared by mixing nitric acid and sulfuric acid in a volume ratio of 3:4; and the ratio of tin chloride, hydrochloric acid, ethanol and nitrated polyethersulfone is 18-20g:18-20g:50mL:2.9-3.0g.

[0011] As a further aspect of the present invention, the boron nitride has a particle size of 0.05–1 μm, 10–15 μm, or 30–45 μm.

[0012] As a further aspect of the present invention, the ratio of boron nitride with a particle size of 0.05 to 1 μm, boron nitride with a particle size of 10 to 15 μm, and boron nitride with a particle size of 30 to 45 μm is 2:2:6.

[0013] In the above technical solution, by using boron nitride with different particle sizes and rationally controlling the ratio of the three particle sizes, boron nitride is added as a second filler to PEEK material. The addition of boron nitride can effectively reduce the friction coefficient of PEEK material, while effectively improving the rigidity and toughness of PEEK composite material. Different particle sizes of boron nitride have different effects on PEEK material. Small boron nitride particles, due to their large specific surface area and better dispersibility, are more likely to form a uniformly distributed thermally conductive and lubricating network in the PEEK matrix, thereby rapidly migrating to the contact interface during friction to form a continuous and stable transfer film, significantly reducing the friction coefficient. At the same time, its layered structure is prone to interlayer slip under shearing action, effectively reducing abrasive wear and exhibiting superior friction-reducing performance. The larger boron nitride particles act as "rivets," causing the surface to become uneven upon impact, thus increasing the impact strength of the PEEK composite material. In other words, when PEEK material is subjected to a sudden external force, the impact energy is dissipated by the boron nitride particles, thereby enhancing the impact resistance of the PEEK material. Furthermore, the addition of boron nitride does not compromise the thermal stability of PEEK; the PEEK composite material still exhibits excellent heat resistance.

[0014] As a further embodiment of the present invention, the lubricant is at least one of polyethylene wax and silicone powder.

[0015] As a further aspect of the present invention, the antioxidant is at least one of antioxidant 3114, antioxidant 1330, and antioxidant 9228.

[0016] A second aspect of this invention provides a method for preparing an impact-resistant PEEK composite material, comprising the following steps: Step 1: Weigh out the dried raw materials according to their weight proportions and add them to a mixer to mix until homogeneous, thus obtaining a mixture. Step 2: The mixture is fed into a twin-screw extruder for extrusion granulation to obtain PEEK composite material.

[0017] As a further aspect of the present invention, in step 2, the temperature of each heating zone in the twin-screw extruder is controlled at 340–380°C, and the rotation speed is controlled at 100–110 r / min.

[0018] The beneficial effects of this invention are: This invention uses PEEK as the matrix, modified halloysite nanotubes and boron nitride as filler phases, and adds lubricants and antioxidants. Through mechanical mixing and extrusion molding processes, PEEK composite materials with excellent mechanical strength, heat resistance and friction properties are prepared.

[0019] The modified halloysite nanotubes provided by this invention utilize high-performance polymer polyethersulfone (PESsulfone) to graft and modify carbon nanotubes, thereby improving the dispersibility of carbon nanotubes in PEEK and enhancing their interfacial bonding performance with the matrix. PESsulfone possesses high thermal stability, excellent high-temperature mechanical properties, good toughness and impact resistance, and, at low concentrations, is completely miscible with PEEK resins of similar molecular structures in a small molecule form. Therefore, this invention first nitrates the PESsulfone, then reduces it to obtain aminated PESsulfone. Finally, carboxylated halloysite nanotubes undergo a condensation reaction with the aminated PESsulfone to generate peptide bonds, thus grafting a certain thickness of PESsulfone onto the surface of the halloysite nanotubes. This effectively improves the dispersion and compatibility of halloysite nanotubes in the PEEK matrix. The uniformly dispersed halloysite nanotubes are tightly bonded to the PEEK matrix, increasing the effective contact area between atoms and strengthening the overall interaction, thereby effectively enhancing the mechanical properties of the PEEK material.

[0020] This invention provides a method for preparing impact-resistant PEEK composite materials. The process is simple, the raw materials are readily available, and the production efficiency is high. It can effectively improve the mechanical properties, toughness, impact resistance, and thermal stability of PEEK materials, thus broadening the application fields. At the same time, the products obtained have stable performance and can be mass-produced. Detailed Implementation
