Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of composite material lightning protection technology, specifically relating to multifunctional layer synergistic lightning protection composite materials, and also to a method for preparing multifunctional layer synergistic lightning protection composite materials. Background Technology
[0002] Carbon fiber reinforced resin matrix composites are widely used in the main load-bearing structures of aircraft, such as fuselages and wings, due to their excellent properties such as lightweight, high strength, and high designability. However, composite materials face a severe threat of lightning strikes during service. Statistics show that an aircraft may be struck by lightning on average once every 1,000 hours of flight. Unlike traditional metal materials, the insulating properties of the resin matrix make it difficult for the current generated by a lightning strike to be conducted quickly, leading to serious damage such as resin pyrolysis, fiber breakage, and interlayer delamination, which seriously threatens flight safety.
[0003] To address these issues, various lightning protection solutions have been developed. Surface protection technology involves attaching highly conductive layers such as silver, aluminum mesh, metal foil, or graphite and carbon nanotube coatings to the surface of composite materials. This allows lightning current to be rapidly conducted along the surface shunt path, suppressing adhesion damage from lightning strikes. However, the mismatch in thermal expansion coefficients between the highly conductive layer and the resin matrix leads to poor bonding between the protective layer and the composite material, making it susceptible to damage or detachment during lightning strikes. Material modification technology involves adding conductive fillers such as graphene and carbon nanotubes to the resin matrix within the composite material to form a three-dimensional conductive network. This enhances the material's conductivity, allowing lightning current to be dispersed and conducted within the composite material, suppressing conductive damage from lightning strikes. However, the increased viscosity due to high filler content makes molding processes difficult and also hinders the suppression of adhesion damage to the composite material surface from lightning strikes. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a multifunctional layer-synergistic lightning protection composite material, which solves the problem that the viscosity increase caused by the high content of fillers in existing materials leads to difficult molding processes and makes it difficult to suppress the adhesion damage to the surface of the composite material when struck by lightning.

[0013] The preparation steps of the graphite honeycomb interlayer in S2 are as follows: S2.1 uses natural flake graphite as raw material, which is dry ball milled to obtain uniform fine powder, and then honeycomb sandwich preforms are prepared by molding or laser selective sintering process, with the thickness controlled at 3-5mm.

While achieving lightweighting, the conductivity of the composite material in the thickness direction is enhanced by the conductivity of the graphite material itself, forming a three-dimensional conductive network and improving the overall lightning current conduction capability.
[0020] (5) The thermoplastic microcapsules of the present invention are filled in the pores of the graphite honeycomb interlayer to form an electrothermal self-healing structure. The Joule heat generated by lightning strikes is transferred to the capsules through the honeycomb pore walls, causing them to rupture and release the repair agent, filling any microcracks that may occur, effectively repairing lightning strike damage, and significantly improving the service life and reliability of the material.

[0053] S3 is laid with a conductive adhesive film, a zirconium oxide fiber paper heat insulation layer and a super-arranged carbon nanotube thin film conductive layer with a nano-clay temporary barrier layer to form a stacked structure; S3. A conductive film prepared using the same method as the lower conductive film is laid on the graphite honeycomb interlayer as the upper conductive film, and is laid flat on the upper surface of the completed graphite honeycomb interlayer. Then, a zirconia fiber paper insulation layer and a super-arranged carbon nanotube thin film conductive layer are sequentially laid on the upper conductive film to form a stacked structure. The pretreatment and laying steps of the zirconia fiber paper insulation layer are as follows: Zirconia fiber paper with a thickness of 0.8 mm and a surface density of 120 g / m² is selected, cut to a size of 200 mm × 100 mm, and dried in an 80°C oven for 2 hours to remove adsorbed moisture, thus completing the pretreatment. The pretreated zirconia fiber paper insulation layer is laid flat on top of the upper conductive film. The preparation steps of the super-arranged carbon nanotube thin film conductive layer are as follows: S3.1 Carbon nanotube array preparation: A super-arranged carbon nanotube array is prepared at 800°C by chemical vapor deposition. The carbon source is ethylene, and the carrier gas is a mixture of argon and hydrogen. S3.2 Thin Film Stretching: The carbon nanotube array is mechanically stretched at a speed of 50 mm / min to form a continuous thin film with a thickness controlled at 50 μm and an areal density of 20 g / m². S3.3 Thin Film Purification: The obtained film is heat-treated in air at 350°C for 30 min to remove residual impurities and obtain a super-aligned carbon nanotube conductive layer. Before laying the super-aligned carbon nanotube conductive layer, a temporary nano-clay barrier layer is applied to its surface. The specific steps are as follows: a 10 wt% nano-clay aqueous suspension is prepared, stirred at 80°C for 2 h, and then cooled to room temperature. The suspension is uniformly sprayed onto one side of the super-aligned carbon nanotube conductive layer using an air spray gun, with a spraying amount controlled at 10 g / m². It is dried at 60°C for 2 h to form a continuous barrier layer with a thickness of 2 μm. The super-aligned carbon nanotube conductive layer with the temporary nano-clay barrier layer is laid flat on top of the zirconia fiber paper insulation layer to complete the stacked structure preparation.
[0054] S4 hot pressing curing molding and post-processing; The resulting stacked structure was placed in an autoclave, and the autoclaving pressure was controlled at 0.8 MPa and the curing temperature at 150°C. The structure was then kept under heat and pressure for 1.5 hours for curing. After curing, the structure was allowed to cool naturally to room temperature. After demolding, the surface nano-clay temporary barrier layer was removed by rinsing with deionized water to obtain a clean surface of the multifunctional layer-synergistic lightning protection composite material of this embodiment.
[0055] In summary, the multifunctional layered lightning protection composite material prepared by this invention is a multi-layered, integrated layered structure that integrates multiple functions such as structural load-bearing, lightning current conduction, thermal insulation and buffering, and damage self-repair. The super-arranged carbon nanotube thin film conductive layer can rapidly and uniformly conduct large lightning currents, while the zirconia fiber paper thermal insulation layer can effectively block the inward transmission of high-temperature arcs, significantly reducing ablation and structural damage caused by lightning strikes. The added nano-clay temporary barrier layer can prevent conductivity attenuation caused by resin wetting of the conductive layer during hot-pressing curing, ensuring stable lightning conduction performance. The thermoplastic microcapsules within the graphite honeycomb interlayer can self-repair lightning cracks. The overall structure does not require additional fasteners, fundamentally avoiding the risk of lightning ablation at connection points. It achieves lightweight while maintaining excellent mechanical properties, resulting in superior lightning protection and structural service stability.
