The invention discloses a composite hose based on micron-sized self-repairing microcapsules and
microwave triggering and a preparation and repairing method of the composite hose, and relates to the technical field of co-
extrusion hose manufacturing and self-repairing materials.According to the scheme, the preparation method comprises the steps that 1, the micron-sized self-repairing microcapsules containing a core material of
epoxy resin-curing agent and nano
calcium carbonate reinforcing filler and a
urea-
formaldehyde resin
wall material are prepared; 2) spraying the surface of the enhancement layer to form a self-repairing layer, enabling the enhancement layer to pass through an
extrusion die, and simultaneously extruding the inner surface and the outer surface by double-screw
extrusion equipment to form an inner layer and an outer layer respectively; 3,
carbonyl iron powder is added to the outer layer of the hose to serve as a
microwave absorbent, and repairing is triggered within 30-60 seconds in cooperation with a handheld
microwave generator. According to the method, repairing can be completed within 5 minutes after cracks appear, the repairing efficiency is larger than or equal to 85%, the change rate of the
mechanical property of the hose is smaller than or equal to 5%, the
annual average maintenance cost is reduced by 50% or above, meanwhile,
plastic waste is reduced, and the medium leakage risk is reduced.
