Description

Polyacrylonitrile pre-oxidized fiber, its preparation method and application Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of pre-oxidized fiber technology, specifically to a polyacrylonitrile pre-oxidized fiber, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] Carbon / carbon composites are structural materials with advantages such as high specific strength, high thermal shock resistance, and high ablation resistance. Carbon / carbon composites can withstand temperatures up to 3000℃ and possess the unique property that their strength increases with increasing temperature.

[0003] The preparation process of carbon / carbon composite materials mainly includes three processes: preform molding, preform densification, and graphitization. The preform is the foundation for preparing carbon / carbon composite materials and is also one of the key factors affecting their performance. Polyacrylonitrile pre-oxidized fibers are chopped into short fibers, then dry-carded into a fiber web and reinforced with needle punching to form the preform. Carbon / carbon composite materials made from these preforms have advantages such as light weight, good impact resistance, and high damage tolerance.

[0004] Generally, pre-oxidized polyacrylonitrile (PA) fibers are produced by treating PA fibers with high-temperature air in an oxidation furnace. During the pre-oxidation process, PA fibers undergo oxidation and cyclization reactions, gradually transforming from a helical linear molecular structure to a heat-resistant ladder-shaped molecular structure. Simultaneously, the crystallinity and orientation of the PA fibers also change.

[0005] During the pre-oxidation process, since fibers are three-dimensional entities, the effects of mass and heat transfer, especially oxygen diffusion, are crucial. Poor control of mass and heat transfer can lead to severe core-sheath structure in the fibers. The core-sheath structure is essentially caused by differences in the degree of oxidation and cross-linking. This structure results in significant differences in the radial structure of the pre-oxidized fibers, leading to substantial losses in mechanical properties and making them difficult to process and apply in subsequent applications.

[0006] Currently, carbon / carbon composites are known to be prepared using carbon fiber as the main raw material, as disclosed in CN117776756A and CN118125852A. Since carbon fiber is a brittle material, processing is generally difficult in processes such as crimping, stub cutting, and needle punching. Therefore, pre-oxidized fibers with high elongation at break are selected to facilitate processing. However, the pre-oxidation process leads to a loss of fiber strength. Many studies have attempted to reduce the fiber strength loss during pre-oxidation. CN1478930A developed a method for manufacturing pre-oxidized fibers, which produces pre-oxidized fibers with high strength, but suffers from problems such as high temperature and low Z-axis strength of the resulting carbon / carbon composite. CN112708969A, CN115707801A, and CN114457469A only address the issues of production stability and low strength of pre-oxidized fibers, without considering the subsequent impact on the carbon / carbon composite preparation process. Summary of the Invention

[0007] To address the problems of poor mechanical properties of pre-oxidized fibers and low XY and Z-axis compressive strength of carbon / carbon composites made from them in the prior art, this invention provides a pre-oxidized polyacrylonitrile fiber, its preparation method, and its application.

[0022] In some embodiments of the present invention, the crystallinity of the polyacrylonitrile pre-oxidized fiber is 0.10-0.30, preferably 0.12-0.25 or 0.14-0.25. For example, the crystallinity of the polyacrylonitrile pre-oxidized fiber can be 0.10, 0.11, 0.12, 0.13, 0.14, 0.15, 0.16, 0.17, 0.18, 0.19, 0.20, 0.21, 0.22, 0.23, 0.24, 0.25, 0.26, 0.27, 0.28, 0.29, 0.30, or an intermediate value between any two values ​​or a range composed of any two values, for example, 0.13-0.24.

[0023] In some embodiments of the present invention, the grain size of the polyacrylonitrile pre-oxidized fiber is 1.80-3.50 nm, preferably 2.00-3.00 nm, and more preferably 2.10-3.00 nm. For example, the grain size of the polyacrylonitrile pre-oxidized fiber can be 1.80 nm, 1.90 nm, 2.00 nm, 2.10 nm, 2.20 nm, 2.30 nm, 2.40 nm, 2.50 nm, 2.60 nm, 2.70 nm, 2.80 nm, 2.90 nm, 3.00 nm, 3.10 nm, 3.20 nm, 3.30 nm, 3.40 nm, 3.50 nm, or any intermediate value between any two values, or a range composed of any two values, such as 2.30-3.00 nm.

[0024] In some embodiments of the present invention, the carbon to oxygen content ratio (mass content ratio) of the polyacrylonitrile pre-oxidized fiber is 0.50-3.00, preferably 0.70-3.00, and more preferably 0.70-2.50. For example, the carbon to oxygen content ratio of the polyacrylonitrile pre-oxidized fiber can be 0.50, 0.60, 0.70, 0.80, 0.90, 1.00, 1.10, 1.20, 1.30, 1.40, 1.50, 1.60, 1.70, 1.80, 1.90, 2.00, 2.10, 2.20, 2.30, 2.40, 2.50, 2.60, 2.70, 2.80, 2.90, 3.00, or any intermediate value between any two values ​​or a range composed of any two values, such as 0.80-2.40.

[0025] Through extensive experimental research, this invention unexpectedly discovered that for polyacrylonitrile pre-oxidized fibers, within the strain range of 0-2.5%, the values ​​of stress σ and strain ε, as well as the breaking elongation of the pre-oxidized polyacrylonitrile fiber monofilament, conform to the relationships expressed by the above formulas. This can solve the problems of poor mechanical properties of pre-oxidized fibers and low XY and Z-direction compressive strength of carbon / carbon composite materials made from them in the prior art.

[0026] More specifically, without any theoretical limitations, this application utilizes the nonlinear fitting formula σ=Aε 2+Bε+C describes the stress-strain relationship of the fiber; this formula is a quadratic function with its axis of symmetry located at ε=-B / 2A. The ratio B / A is -2 times the axis of symmetry, reflecting the shape characteristics of the curve: the stress-strain curve corresponding to a small B / A value exhibits a short and wide characteristic; the stress-strain curve corresponding to a large B / A value exhibits a tall and slender characteristic. The inventors of this application have found that both excessively large and small B / A values ​​are detrimental to improving the tensile strength of the fiber, while high fiber tensile strength is related to the high compressive strength in the XY and Z directions of carbon / carbon composite materials; in addition, a suitable elongation at break helps the pre-oxidized fiber maintain its stretchability, promote (integral felt) molding, and reduce defects in the preform preparation process such as needle punching; therefore, the formula (B*E*100 / A) integrates elongation at break and tensile strength to ensure the molding quality of the preform and the compressive performance of the carbon / carbon composite material; where the E*100 term is used to extract the pure numerical value of the elongation at break E (dimensionless). The formula (B*E*100) / A can be used to comprehensively evaluate pre-oxidized fibers, taking into account the synergistic effect of their tensile strength and elongation at break, ultimately achieving a significant improvement in the compressive performance of carbon / carbon composites. Furthermore, the coefficient C corresponds to the initial stress value when the strain ε is zero. Research in this application shows that the ratio C / A is related to the regularity of the pre-oxidized fiber's crystalline structure. C / A can further distinguish fibers with different structural characteristics, ensuring that the selected fibers experience less crystalline structure damage during pre-oxidation, retaining higher crystallinity and grain size, thereby endowing the fibers with excellent tensile strength. The formula (B*E*100+C) / A can be used to further comprehensively evaluate pre-oxidized fibers, taking into account the synergistic effect of their tensile strength and elongation at break, and considering the crystalline structure of the pre-oxidized fibers, ultimately achieving a significant improvement in the compressive performance of carbon / carbon composites.

[0027] In this invention, polyacrylonitrile pre-oxidized fibers can be obtained through the preparation method of the pre-oxidized fibers of this invention, wherein the pre-oxidized fibers have A, B, and C (i.e., within the strain range of 0-2.5%), and the nonlinear fitting formula for the stress σ and strain ε values ​​is σ=Aε. 2 The coefficients of +Bε+C) and the breaking elongation E of the pre-oxidized fiber monofilament can satisfy the formula of the present invention -150≤(B*E*100) / A≤-70 or the formula -150≤(B*E*100+C) / A≤-70.

[0028] A second objective of this invention is to provide a method for preparing polyacrylonitrile pre-oxidized fibers. For example, the method for preparing polyacrylonitrile pre-oxidized fibers according to one objective of this invention includes the step of obtaining polyacrylonitrile pre-oxidized fibers by sequentially passing polyacrylonitrile-based precursor fibers through a pre-oxidation process comprising m+n pre-oxidation temperature zones. The m pre-oxidation temperature zones are all heated in a hot oxygen-containing atmosphere, where m is an integer from 2 to 4, and the n pre-oxidation temperature zones are all heated using microwaves, where n is an integer from 2 to 6. In this invention, m can be 2, 3, or 4, and n can be 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6. In this invention, "m+n pre-oxidation temperature zones" means that the polyacrylonitrile-based precursor fibers first pass through the m pre-oxidation temperature zones (i.e., m zones heated in a hot oxygen-containing atmosphere), and then through the n pre-oxidation temperature zones (i.e., n zones heated by microwaves).

[0029] In some embodiments, the method for preparing the polyacrylonitrile pre-oxidized fiber includes the step of pre-oxidizing the polyacrylonitrile-based precursor fiber by passing it through at least four pre-oxidation temperature zones to obtain the polyacrylonitrile pre-oxidized fiber; wherein the first 2-4 pre-oxidation temperature zones are heated using a hot oxygen-containing atmosphere, and the remaining pre-oxidation temperature zones are heated using microwave heating, and the at least four pre-oxidation temperature zones include at least two pre-oxidation temperature zones heated by a hot oxygen-containing atmosphere and at least two pre-oxidation temperature zones heated by microwave heating; preferably, the polyacrylonitrile-based precursor fiber is pre-oxidized by passing it through 4-8 pre-oxidation temperature zones to obtain the polyacrylonitrile pre-oxidized fiber; wherein the first 2-4 pre-oxidation temperature zones... All pre-oxidation zones are heated in a hot oxygen-containing atmosphere, while the remaining pre-oxidation zones are heated by microwaves. The 4-8 pre-oxidation zones include at least two pre-oxidation zones heated in a hot oxygen-containing atmosphere and at least two pre-oxidation zones heated by microwaves. More preferably, polyacrylonitrile-based precursor fibers are pre-oxidized by passing them through 4-6 pre-oxidation zones to obtain pre-oxidized polyacrylonitrile fibers. Specifically, the first 2-3 pre-oxidation zones are heated in a hot oxygen-containing atmosphere, while the remaining pre-oxidation zones are heated by microwaves. The 4-6 pre-oxidation zones include at least two pre-oxidation zones heated in a hot oxygen-containing atmosphere and at least two pre-oxidation zones heated by microwaves.

[0030] As those skilled in the art will understand, during the pre-oxidation process, when the polyacrylonitrile precursor fiber passes through the pre-oxidation temperature zones, the fiber sequentially passes through each temperature zone. In the method of the present invention, the polyacrylonitrile precursor fiber first passes through at least two pre-oxidation temperature zones heated in a hot oxygen atmosphere, and then passes through at least two microwave-heated pre-oxidation temperature zones.

[0031] In this invention, "heating with a hot oxygen atmosphere" refers to heating the raw filament with a hot oxygen atmosphere.

[0032] In this invention, "microwave heating" refers to heating by applying microwaves to the raw filament or fiber.

[0033] In some embodiments of the present invention, polyacrylonitrile precursor fibers are pre-oxidized by sequentially passing through the following pre-oxidation temperature zones to obtain pre-oxidized polyacrylonitrile fibers:

[0034] Two pre-oxidation temperature zones heated by a hot oxygen-containing atmosphere and two pre-oxidation temperature zones heated by microwave;

[0035] Two pre-oxidation temperature zones heated by a hot oxygen-containing atmosphere and three pre-oxidation temperature zones heated by microwave;

[0036] Two pre-oxidation temperature zones heated by a hot oxygen-containing atmosphere and four pre-oxidation temperature zones heated by microwave;

[0037] Two pre-oxidation temperature zones heated by a hot oxygen-containing atmosphere and five pre-oxidation temperature zones heated by microwave;

[0038] Three pre-oxidation temperature zones heated by a hot oxygen-containing atmosphere and two pre-oxidation temperature zones heated by microwave;

[0039] Three pre-oxidation temperature zones heated by a hot oxygen-containing atmosphere and three pre-oxidation temperature zones heated by microwave;

[0040] Three pre-oxidation temperature zones heated by a hot oxygen-containing atmosphere and four pre-oxidation temperature zones heated by microwave;

[0041] Three pre-oxidation temperature zones heated by a hot oxygen-containing atmosphere and five pre-oxidation temperature zones heated by microwave;

[0042] Four pre-oxidation temperature zones heated by a hot oxygen-containing atmosphere and two pre-oxidation temperature zones heated by microwave;

[0043] Four pre-oxidation temperature zones heated by a hot oxygen-containing atmosphere and three pre-oxidation temperature zones heated by microwave;

[0044] Four pre-oxidation temperature zones heated by a hot oxygen-containing atmosphere and four pre-oxidation temperature zones heated by microwave; or

[0045] Four pre-oxidation temperature zones heated by a hot oxygen-containing atmosphere and five pre-oxidation temperature zones heated by microwave.

[0046] In some embodiments, the method for preparing the pre-oxidized polyacrylonitrile fiber includes the step of passing a polyacrylonitrile-based precursor fiber through a pre-oxidation process in at least four temperature zones to obtain the pre-oxidized polyacrylonitrile fiber; wherein, the first two temperature zones of the pre-oxidation process are heated in a hot oxygen-containing atmosphere, and the remaining temperature zones are heated by microwave; preferably, the method for preparing the pre-oxidized polyacrylonitrile fiber includes the step of passing a polyacrylonitrile-based precursor fiber through a pre-oxidation process in four to eight temperature zones to obtain the pre-oxidized polyacrylonitrile fiber; wherein, the first two or three temperature zones of the pre-oxidation process are heated in a hot oxygen-containing atmosphere, and the remaining temperature zones are heated by microwave.

[0047] In this invention, after the polyacrylonitrile precursor fiber has sequentially passed through the m+n pre-oxidation temperature zones of this invention, optionally, the polyacrylonitrile precursor fiber or fiber may further pass through one or more additional pre-oxidation temperature zones, which do not meet the requirements of the m+n pre-oxidation temperature zones described in this application. For example, in some embodiments, after the polyacrylonitrile precursor fiber has sequentially passed through two pre-oxidation temperature zones heated by a hot oxygen atmosphere and two pre-oxidation temperature zones heated by microwaves, i.e., after passing through the m+n pre-oxidation temperature zones of this invention (where m=2 and n=2), the polyacrylonitrile precursor fiber may further pass through a pre-oxidation temperature zone heated by hot air; such embodiments are within the scope of this invention.

[0048] In this invention, the inventors unexpectedly discovered that by employing the pre-oxidation process of this invention to pre-oxidize polyacrylonitrile-based precursor fibers to obtain pre-oxidized polyacrylonitrile fibers, the monofilament strength of the obtained pre-oxidized polyacrylonitrile fibers can be further improved, while essentially maintaining or preserving the monofilament breaking elongation. Therefore, the method of pre-oxidizing polyacrylonitrile-based precursor fibers of this invention is a method for improving the monofilament strength of pre-oxidized polyacrylonitrile fibers, wherein this method can essentially maintain or preserve the monofilament breaking elongation.

[0049] In some embodiments of the present invention, during the pre-oxidation process, the draw ratio of the pre-oxidation temperature zone heated by a hot oxygen-containing atmosphere is greater than or equal to the draw ratio of the pre-oxidation temperature zone heated by microwave. In some embodiments, preferably, the draw ratio of the pre-oxidation temperature zone heated by a hot oxygen-containing atmosphere can be 1.000-1.200, more preferably 1.000-1.080, more preferably 1.010-1.050, and more preferably 1.010-1.040, for example, 1.005, 1.010, 1.015, 1.020, 1.025, 1.030, 1.035, 1.040, 1.045, 1.050, 1.055, 1.060, 1.070, 1.080, 1.090, 1.100, 1.150, 1.200, or an intermediate value between two values, or a range consisting of any two values. In some embodiments, preferably, the draw ratio of the pre-oxidation temperature zone using microwave heating can be 0.950-1.000, more preferably 0.970-1.000, more preferably 0.980-1.000, and even more preferably 0.990-0.999, for example, 0.950, 0.955, 0.960, 0.965, 0.970, 0.975, 0.980, 0.985, 0.990, 0.991, 0.992, 0.993, 0.994, 0.995, 0.996, 0.997, 0.998, or any intermediate value between any two values, or a range composed of any two values.

[0050] In some embodiments of the present invention, during the pre-oxidation process, the temperatures of the pre-oxidation temperature zones heated by a hot oxygen-containing atmosphere may be the same or different, and may be independently 150-350°C, preferably 180-280°C, such as 190°C, 200°C, 210°C, 220°C, 230°C, 240°C, 250°C, 260°C, 270°C, or any intermediate value between any two values, or a range composed of any two values.
