Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of polymer composite materials technology, specifically relating to a self-lubricating polyimide resin, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] As aerospace, high-end equipment manufacturing, and other fields develop towards high speed, heavy load, and high temperature, more stringent requirements are being placed on the comprehensive performance of key friction pair materials under extreme operating conditions. Although traditional polyimide resins have excellent thermal stability and mechanical strength, their inherent molecular structure makes it difficult to form an effective lubricating film at the friction interface at high temperatures (such as above 300 °C), resulting in a significant increase in the coefficient of friction and a sharp increase in wear, which cannot meet the requirements for long-term, high-reliability operation.

[0003] To improve the high-temperature lubrication performance of polyimide, existing technologies often employ the addition of ionic liquids as high-temperature lubricants. Ionic liquids possess high thermal stability, low volatility, and excellent extreme-pressure lubrication characteristics, theoretically capable of significantly reducing interfacial wear. However, when introduced into the polyimide matrix through physical blending, two major problems arise: first, the interfacial bonding between the ionic liquid and the polymer matrix is ​​weak, making it prone to migration and seepage under high temperatures or shear stress, leading to rapid lubrication failure; second, dispersion uniformity is difficult to control, easily resulting in agglomeration and defects, which weakens the overall mechanical properties and durability of the material. For example, an ionic liquid-modified polyimide composite material prepared by blending exhibited a friction coefficient fluctuation exceeding 30% during long-term operation at 300 °C, and its wear rate increased by approximately 20% compared to pure resin, indicating that simple blending is insufficient to achieve long-term stable lubrication.

This invention enables the in-situ grafting of ionic liquid structures onto the surface of generated carbon dots through plasma treatment. After the plasma treatment, a reactant is obtained; preferably, the reactant is purified by supercritical CO2 extraction to obtain the carbon dot-based ionic liquid.

[0025] Step (2): After obtaining the carbon dot-based ionic liquid, the present invention mixes the carbon dot-based ionic liquid, a fluorinated aromatic diamine monomer, a polar solvent, and a fluorinated aromatic dianhydride monomer to react and obtain a side-chain functionalized pre-grafted linear polyamic acid solution.

[0026] In this invention, the mass of the carbon dot-based ionic liquid preferably accounts for 0.5 to 2% of the total mass of the fluorinated aromatic diamine monomer, the fluorinated aromatic dianhydride monomer, and the phenylacetylene-containing end-capping agent; in the examples, it can be 0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, or 2%.

[0032] Step (4): After obtaining the polyamic acid solution with a three-dimensional network structure, the present invention cures the polyamic acid solution with a three-dimensional network structure to obtain the self-lubricating polyimide resin; the curing includes sequentially performing a first stage curing, a second stage curing and a third stage curing. The temperature of the first stage curing is ≤120 ℃. The second stage curing is performed under a pressure ≥0.1 MPa, where the temperature is raised from the temperature of the first stage curing to the first temperature and then subjected to 1 to 3 cycles of "first heat preservation at the first temperature, cooling down from the first temperature to the second temperature, second heat preservation at the second temperature, and raising the temperature from the second temperature to the first temperature".

Subsequently, under continuous stirring, 4.44 g (0.01 mol) of 4,4'-(hexafluoroisopropene)phthalic anhydride (6FDA) was added in batches to the pre-assembled solution. After the addition was complete, the reaction system temperature was raised to 70 °C, and the reaction was continued to be stirred for 6 hours. During this process, the polycondensation reaction of the polyamic acid (PAA) segments was directly initiated and grown by the amino groups on the surface of CDs-ILs and 6FODA, thereby achieving pre-grafting of CDs-ILs on the side chains of polyamic acid in the early stage of polymerization, resulting in a pre-grafted linear polyamic acid solution with side chain functionalization.

[0043] 3) End sealing and chain extension: 2.48 g (0.005 mol) of 4-phenylethynylphthalic anhydride (4-PEPA) was added as a capping agent to the pre-grafted linear polyamic acid solution with side chain functionalization obtained in step 2). The reaction temperature was raised to 80 °C, and the reaction was stirred for 10 hours to control the polymer molecular weight and introduce thermally crosslinkable phenylethynyl end groups. After the reaction was completed, an appropriate amount of DMAc solvent was added to precisely adjust the total solid content of the system to 45 wt.%, resulting in a homogeneous, viscous polyamic acid solution with a three-dimensional network structure, CDs-ILs@FOPI.

[0044] 4) Curing and molding: This curing process adopts a "thermal-mechanical coupled programmed curing" process. The polyamic acid solution with a three-dimensional network structure obtained in step 3) was cast into a film and placed in a pressure curing oven (N2 protection). The procedure is as follows: First stage: Increase the temperature to 100 ℃ at 3℃ / min and hold for 2 h; The second stage involves applying an external pressure of 0.5 MPa and raising the temperature from 100℃ to 220℃ at a rate of 3℃ / min. Two cycles of "holding-slow cooling-holding-heating" are then performed at this temperature: holding at 220℃ for 60 min, slowly cooling to 190℃ at a rate of 2℃ / min, holding at 190℃ for 60 min, and then raising the temperature back to 220℃ at a rate of 3℃ / min.

[0049] 4) Curing and molding: This curing process adopts a "thermal-mechanical coupled programmed curing" process. The polyamic acid solution with a three-dimensional network structure obtained in step 3) was cast into a film and placed in a pressure curing oven (N2 protection).

[0050] 5) Performance Testing: Referring to "Reciprocating Friction and Wear Tests Part 2: High Temperature Test Methods" (No.: T / GMES 033—2025), under the conditions of 350 ℃, 0.05 m / s, and 18 N load, the coefficient of friction is 0.0045, and the wear rate is 1.4 × 10⁻⁶. -14 m 3 / N·m. The performance is better than that of the pure FOPI prepared in Comparative Example 1, but slightly lower than that of the sample with an addition of 1.0 wt.% in Example 1.

Under nitrogen protection, the mixture was first heated to 200 °C with a microwave power of 500 W for 15 minutes to induce melt polymerization. Subsequently, a low-temperature plasma treatment (temperature 60 °C, power 100 W, argon atmosphere) was initiated for 5 minutes to allow the ionic liquid structure to be grafted in situ onto the surface of the generated carbon dots. The reaction product was purified by supercritical CO2 extraction to obtain carbon dot-based ionic liquid (CDs-ILs) powder with a surface amino functionalization degree of 0.27 mmol / g and a particle size of approximately 2.7 nm.

[0052] 2) Preparation of polyamic acid solution: Under nitrogen protection, 0.06 g (0.5 wt.% of the total mass of 6FODA, 6FDA, and 4-PEPA) of the CDs-ILs powder prepared in step 1) was added to 20 mL of N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMAc) along with 5.04 g (0.01 mol) of 2,2'-bis(trifluoromethyl)-4,4'-diaminophenyl ether (6FODA). The mixture was mechanically stirred at 60 °C for 2 hours to allow the amino groups on the surface of the CDs-ILs to form a uniform pre-assembly with the amino groups of 6FODA through hydrogen bonding and possible interactions. Subsequently, under continuous stirring, 4.44 g (0.01 mol) of 4,4'-(hexafluoroisopropene)phthalic anhydride (6FDA) was added in batches to the pre-assembled solution. After the addition was complete, the reaction system temperature was raised to 80 °C, and the reaction was continued to be stirred for 6 hours. During this process, the polycondensation reaction of the polyamic acid (PAA) segments was directly initiated and grown by the amino groups on the surface of CDs-ILs and 6FODA, thereby achieving pre-grafting of CDs-ILs on the side chains of polyamic acid in the early stage of polymerization, resulting in a pre-grafted linear polyamic acid solution with side chain functionalization.

[0053] 3) End sealing and chain extension: 2.48 g (0.005 mol) of 4-phenylethynylphthalic anhydride (4-PEPA) was added as a capping agent to the pre-grafted linear polyamic acid solution with side chain functionalization obtained in step 2).

After the reaction was completed, an appropriate amount of DMAc solvent was added to precisely adjust the total solid content of the system to 45 wt.%, resulting in a homogeneous, viscous polyamic acid solution with a three-dimensional network structure, CDs-ILs@FOPI.

[0054] 4) Curing and molding: This curing process adopts a "thermal-mechanical coupled programmed curing" process. The polyamic acid solution with a three-dimensional network structure obtained in step 3) was cast into a film and placed in a pressure curing oven (N2 protection). The procedure is as follows: First stage: Increase the temperature to 100 ℃ at 3℃ / min and hold for 2 h; The second stage involves applying an external pressure of 1.0 MPa and raising the temperature from 100℃ to 220℃ at a rate of 3℃ / min. Two cycles of "holding-slow cooling-holding-heating" are then performed at this temperature: holding at 220℃ for 60 min, slowly cooling to 190℃ at a rate of 2℃ / min, holding at 190℃ for 60 min, and then raising the temperature back to 220℃ at a rate of 3℃ / min.

[0055] 5) Performance Testing: According to the standard "Reciprocating Friction and Wear Tests Part 2: High Temperature Test Methods" (No.: T / GMES 033—2025), the test was conducted at 350 ℃, 0.05 m / s, and a load of 15 N. The measured coefficient of friction was 0.015, and the wear rate was 5.24 × 10⁻⁶. -14 m 3 / N·m, with a load-bearing capacity of 15 N. The results show that a lower addition amount can still effectively improve performance, but the optimal load-bearing capacity did not reach the higher addition level of Example 1.

[0056] Example 4 1) Preparation of carbon dot-based ionic liquids (CDs-ILs): The same steps as in Example 1 are used for CDs-ILs.

[0057] 2) Preparation of pre-grafted linear polyamic acid solution: Under nitrogen protection, 0.24 g (2.0 wt.% of the total mass of 6FODA, 6FDA, and 4-PEPA) of the CDs-ILs powder prepared in step 1) was added to 20 mL of N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMAc) along with 5.04 g (0.01 mol) of 2,2'-bis(trifluoromethyl)-4,4'-diaminophenyl ether (6FODA). The mixture was mechanically stirred at 60 °C for 2 hours to allow the amino groups on the surface of the CDs-ILs to form a uniform pre-assembly with the amino groups of 6FODA through hydrogen bonding and possible interactions. Subsequently, under continuous stirring, 4.44 g (0.01 mol) of 4,4'-(hexafluoroisopropene)phthalic anhydride (6FDA) was added in batches to the pre-assembled solution. After the addition was complete, the reaction system temperature was raised to 80 °C, and the reaction was continued to be stirred for 6 hours. During this process, the polycondensation reaction of the polyamic acid (PAA) segments was directly initiated and grown by the amino groups on the surface of CDs-ILs and 6FODA, thereby achieving pre-grafting of CDs-ILs on the side chains of polyamic acid in the early stage of polymerization, resulting in a pre-grafted linear polyamic acid solution with side chain functionalization.

[0058] 3) End sealing and chain extension: 2.48 g (0.005 mol) of 4-phenylethynylphthalic anhydride (4-PEPA) was added as a capping agent to the pre-grafted linear polyamic acid solution with side chain functionalization obtained in step 2). The reaction temperature was raised to 80 °C, and the reaction was stirred for 10 hours to control the polymer molecular weight and introduce thermally crosslinkable phenylethynyl end groups. After the reaction was completed, an appropriate amount of DMAc solvent was added to precisely adjust the total solid content of the system to 45 wt.%, resulting in a homogeneous, viscous polyamic acid solution with a three-dimensional network structure, CDs-ILs@FOPI.

[0059] 4) Curing and molding: This curing process adopts a "thermal-mechanical coupled programmed curing" process. The polyamic acid solution with a three-dimensional network structure obtained in step 3) was cast into a film and placed in a pressure curing oven (N2 protection). The procedure is as follows: First stage: Increase the temperature to 100 ℃ at 3℃ / min and hold for 2 h; The second stage involves applying an external pressure of 0.5 MPa and raising the temperature from 100℃ to 220℃ at a rate of 3℃ / min. Two cycles of "holding-slow cooling-holding-heating" are then performed at this temperature: holding at 220℃ for 60 min, slowly cooling to 190℃ at a rate of 2℃ / min, holding at 190℃ for 60 min, and then raising the temperature back to 220℃ at a rate of 3℃ / min. This process is repeated: holding at 220℃ for 60 min, slowly cooling to 190℃ at a rate of 2℃ / min, holding at 190℃ for 60 min, and then raising the temperature back to 220℃ at a rate of 3℃ / min. Third stage: Apply an external pressure of 0.5 MPa, raise the temperature from 220℃ to 370℃, and keep it at that temperature for 2 hours; After cooling, the film is demolded to obtain CDs-ILs@FOPI resin film.

[0060] 5) Performance Testing: According to the standard "Reciprocating Friction and Wear Tests Part 2: High Temperature Test Methods" (No.: T / GMES 033—2025), the test was conducted at 350 ℃, 0.05 m / s, and a load of 17 N. The measured coefficient of friction was 0.009, and the wear rate was 1.47 × 10⁻⁶. -14 m 3 / N·m. The high wear rate indicates that excessive CDs-ILs addition may lead to decreased interfacial compatibility or agglomeration, affecting wear resistance. Overall, 1.0 wt.% is the optimal addition ratio.

[0061] Comparative Example 1 Comparison benchmark: Pure FOPI resin with zero added CDs-ILs 1) Preparation of polyamic acid solution: Under nitrogen protection, 4.44 g of 6FDA was dissolved in 5.9 mL of DMAc. After complete dissolution, 5.04 g of 6FODA and 4.7 mL of DMAc were added, and the mixture was stirred at 80 °C for 6 h to obtain a polyamic acid solution with a three-dimensional network structure.

[0062] 2) End-capping and curing: 2.48 g of 4-PEPA and 4 mL of DMAc were directly added to the polyamic acid solution with a three-dimensional network structure prepared in step 1). After reacting for 18 h, the solution was coated and cured without adding carbon dots. The solution was uniformly coated onto a clean glass plate and pretreated with a stepped heating program (heating rate of 3 ℃ / min, 80 ℃ / 2 h, 150 ℃ / 2 h, 250 ℃ / 2 h, 320 ℃ / 2 h). Finally, it was cured at 370 ℃ for 2 h, cooled, and then demolded to obtain a pure FOPI resin film.

[0063] 3) Performance testing: Referring to "Reciprocating Friction and Wear Tests Part 2: High Temperature Test Methods" (No.: T / GMES 033—2025), under the conditions of 350 ℃, 0.05 m / s, and 10 N load, the coefficient of friction of FOPI resin is 0.024, and the wear rate is 1.0×10⁻⁶. -13 m 3 / (N·m). The ultimate load-bearing capacity is only 10 N. Its performance is significantly lower than all carbon dot modified examples, highlighting the necessity of carbon dot end-capping modification.

[0064] Figure 1 The 1H NMR spectra of the FOPI resin prepared in Comparative Example 1 and the CDs-ILs@FOPI resin prepared in Example 1 are shown. Figure 1It can be seen that, compared with the FOPI resin provided in Comparative Example 1, the product prepared in Example 1 showed a new peak at 8.33 ppm. This peak is attributed to the imide characteristic peak of the CDs-ILs@FOPI resin prepared in Example 1, indicating that the carboxyl groups on the surface of CDs-ILs react with the amino groups of 6FODA to form imide bonds, which shows that the ionic liquid is chemically stabilized and immobilized in the polyimide system.

[0065] The performance test results are shown in Table 1: Table 1 Performance test results of the products prepared in the examples and comparative examples

[0066] Comparative Example 2 The preparation method is basically the same as that in Example 1, except that: 4) Curing and molding: This curing process adopts a "thermal-mechanical coupled programmed curing" process. The polyamic acid solution with a three-dimensional network structure obtained in step 3) was cast into a film and placed in a pressure curing oven (N2 protection). The procedure is as follows: First stage: Increase the temperature to 100 ℃ at 3℃ / min and hold for 2 h; Second stage: Apply an external pressure of 0.5 MPa, and raise the temperature from 100℃ to 220℃ at a rate of 3℃ / min. Slowly lower the temperature from 220℃ to 190℃ at a rate of 2℃ / min, hold at 190℃ for 60 min, and then raise the temperature back to 220℃ at a rate of 3℃ / min. Then, slowly lower the temperature from 220℃ to 190℃ at a rate of 2℃ / min, hold at 190℃ for 60 min, and then raise the temperature back to 220℃ at a rate of 3℃ / min.

[0067] Third stage: Apply an external pressure of 0.5 MPa, raise the temperature from 220℃ to 370℃, and keep it at that temperature for 2 hours.

[0068] The sample broke upon demolding after cooling, and CDs-ILs@FOPI resin film could not be obtained.
