The invention discloses a gradient distribution self-repairing carbon
fiber-
polymer composite material and a preparation method thereof, and belongs to the technical field of
polymer composite materials. The material is composed of three functional gradient areas of a lower layer surface, a middle transition area and an upper layer surface, the performance optimization of each region is realized through the differentiated ratio of the carbon
fiber, the
epoxy Vitrimer resin, the dynamic
disulfide bond siloxane hybrid compound, the supramolecular
hydrogen bond
metal coordination
bifunctional polymer and the catalyst. The preparation method comprises the following steps: carrying out oxidation and interface functionalization pretreatment on the carbon
fiber fabric, respectively preparing
slurry in different areas, realizing component gradient distribution by adopting a centrifugal forming technology, and shaping the material by adopting a segmented curing process. Through the unique gradient distribution design and the synergistic effect of the two novel self-repairing compounds, the contradiction between the
mechanical property and the self-repairing efficiency of the material is effectively solved, the material is endowed with excellent multi-time self-repairing capacity and high strength and
toughness, and the material has outstanding advantages in manufacturing of key parts such as badminton racket frames and badminton racket rods and has wide application prospects. The method has wide application prospects in the fields of
aerospace, intelligent structures and the like.
