Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of nanofiber materials, and specifically discloses a method for preparing helical interwoven high-entropy ceramic nanofibers. Background Technology

[0002] High-entropy carbide ceramics, due to their ultra-high melting point, excellent thermochemical stability, and good high-temperature mechanical properties, have broad application prospects in ultra-high temperature thermal protection systems, nuclear reactor cladding materials, and hot-end components of aero-engines. However, the inherent high brittleness and low fracture toughness of high-entropy carbide ceramics severely restrict their reliable application under complex stress environments. How to improve their mechanical flexibility has become a key problem that urgently needs to be solved in this field.

[0003] Preparing high-entropy ceramics into nanofiber morphology is one of the effective ways to improve their mechanical flexibility. Currently, the preparation of high-entropy ceramic nanofibers mainly adopts the sol-gel method combined with electrospinning technology, achieving ceramic transformation through blending of metal alkoxide precursors with spinnable polymers, spinning, and high-temperature heat treatment. However, the high-entropy ceramic nanofibers prepared by existing technologies are usually linear or randomly oriented fiber membranes, with fibers mainly bonded by physical stacking, lacking structural synergistic reinforcement effects. The widely existing helical interwoven structure in nature can effectively dissipate strain energy through configuration unfolding during stretching or bending, significantly improving the ductility and fracture resistance of materials, providing important inspiration for the design of high-performance fiber materials. However, most existing helical fiber preparation methods are applicable to polymer systems. For high-entropy ceramics, due to the low ceramic conversion rate of the precursor solution, the easy shrinkage and deformation of fibers during high-temperature heat treatment, and the difficulty in maintaining the helical structure, how to controllably prepare the helical interwoven structure of high-entropy ceramic fibers at the nanoscale still lacks effective technical means.

[0004] Furthermore, existing patents such as CN111303581B disclose methods for preparing high-entropy ceramic fibers, but the resulting fibers are linear and do not involve helical structures. While CN114988881A relates to the preparation of high-entropy ceramic fibers, it does not design helical structures for the macroscopic morphology of the fibers. Therefore, developing a method for controllably preparing high-entropy ceramic nanofibers with helical interwoven structures is of great significance for expanding the application fields of high-entropy ceramic materials. This invention aims to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art by providing a method for preparing helical interwoven high-entropy ceramic nanofibers. Through the synergistic combination of precursor composition optimization and dynamic rotation receiving technology, the controllable preparation of helical interwoven structures of high-entropy carbide ceramic nanofibers is achieved.
