Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of carbon fiber composite material technology, specifically relating to hyperbranched ionic liquids used in the manufacture of carbon fiber composite materials and their preparation methods. Background Technology

[0002] Lightweight and high-strength carbon fiber reinforced epoxy resin (CFRP) composites are advantageous materials for achieving economic restructuring, energy conservation, emission reduction, and green development, characterized by high strength, light weight, ease of manufacturing, and heat and corrosion resistance. Lightweight and high-strength CFRP has enormous development potential in wind turbine blades and new energy vehicles, effectively addressing the challenge of balancing density, strength, modulus, and fatigue resistance in long blade materials under high wind conditions, as well as the issue of low vehicle range in battery systems. Hyperbranched polymers possess numerous internal cavities and end groups, resulting in high reactivity. Due to less intermolecular entanglement, hyperbranched polymers are less prone to crystallization and exhibit good hydrodynamic properties, unique viscosity behavior, and easy film formation, making them suitable for reinforcing and toughening bisphenol A type epoxy resins.

[0003] However, CFRP forms a three-dimensional irreversible cross-linked network structure during the curing process, making its recycling and reprocessing difficult. This leads to a large accumulation of CFRP waste, occupying significant land and polluting the environment, thus becoming a major obstacle to the sustainable development of carbon fiber composites. Meanwhile, interfacial bonding strength is also a key factor affecting the comprehensive mechanical properties of carbon fiber reinforced epoxy resin composites. Improving the surface inertness of carbon fibers and enhancing their bonding strength with the resin is of significant research importance and value. Summary of the Invention
