AI Technical Summary
Existing technologies struggle to improve the mechanical properties of polyimide foam without significantly increasing its weight. Furthermore, existing reinforcement methods suffer from poor uniformity of distribution and orientation control in three-dimensional space, which negatively impacts the closed-cell structure and thermal insulation performance of the foam.
Using aluminum honeycomb as a reinforcing skeleton, a multi-stage pre-foaming and gelation process combined with programmed temperature imidization is employed to form an aluminum honeycomb-polyamic acid interpenetrating network structure, achieving interfacial bonding and uniform filling.
It significantly improves the mechanical properties and temperature resistance of the material, achieving high specific strength and high specific stiffness, while maintaining the thermal insulation, flame retardant and low smoke properties of polyimide foam, and also possessing impact resistance and dimensional stability.
