A continuous fiber reinforced prepreg tape.
For the technical scheme of the invention, the core is the organic combination of the air-laid yarn technology and the dip plating technology.
In the airflow yarn spreading link, the invention abandons the traditional mechanical rolling or tension control mode, and instead adopts high-pressure airflow to perform non-contact spreading on the fiber tows, thereby effectively avoiding the problems of fiber damage, local stress concentration and the like possibly caused by the traditional method and providing better fiber foundation conditions for the subsequent process flow.
However, in the early development process, it was also found that simply adopting the combination of the air-laid yarn technology and the dip plating technology will cause a great distribution difference in the mechanical properties of the prepreg tape, which is excellent in the X-axis and worse in the Y-axis, mainly because the air-laid yarn can actually greatly improve the distribution uniformity of the fibers, but the distribution axis is too single, and after the prepreg tape is prepared by combining the dip plating technology, the Y-axis properties are mainly provided after the dip material is cured, resulting in a more remarkable uneven distribution of the mechanical properties.
Therefore, the invention adopts a special treatment method, so that the air-laid yarn technology and the dip plating technology in the preparation process can be combined more effectively. In this process, it is of particular importance first to pretreat the matrix fibers, i.e. the carbon fibers used in the present invention. In general, the air-laid prepreg tape is usually only made of continuous long fibers, because short fibers are easily gathered together in the air flow, and are difficult to be uniformly dispersed like the long fibers, so that the yarn-laying effect is poor, a uniform fiber thin layer cannot be formed, and meanwhile, the short fibers are easily entangled and knotted with each other in the air flow to form a lump, so that the uniformity and the continuity of the yarn-laying are affected. On the other hand, because the short fiber length is shorter, the short fiber is more easily impacted and rubbed by the air flow in the air flow, fiber breakage and filament increase are easily caused, the strength and quality of the fiber are reduced, the fiber can be repeatedly folded and bent, the damage of the fiber is further aggravated, and the mechanical property is influenced.
However, in the invention, the pretreatment method is adopted to dissolve part of the material soaked in the invention by using commercially available 70 wt% industrial concentrated sulfuric acid before air-stream yarn spreading, so that a pretreatment liquid with better fluidity is formed and uniformly moistened on the surface of the matrix fiber for pretreatment by using an atomization spraying method, and the process can generate 'distributed point treatment' on the fiber. Because the concentrated acid in the pretreatment liquid can actually change the surface properties of the matrix carbon fibers to some extent, especially in terms of polarity performance, in addition to the leaching treatment.
The carbon fiber is used as one of the first-choice fibers of the air-jet yarn spreading technology, and because nonpolar or weak-polarity fibers are more suitable for the air-jet yarn spreading technology, agglomeration and agglomeration are not easy, after the carbon fiber is pretreated by the method, the polarity of the surface of the carbon fiber can be changed to a certain extent, under the proper concentration of concentrated sulfuric acid and proper treatment conditions, polar functional groups such as carbonyl groups and carboxyl groups are introduced into the surface of the carbon fiber, so that the surface energy and wettability of the carbon fiber are improved, the bonding strength of the carbon fiber and modified soaks can be further improved, uniform polar points can be formed as linking points to realize the linking of long and short fibers, the distribution form of the base fibers is changed by taking the linking points as the movement characteristics of 'axle centers' and short fibers in the air-jet yarn spreading process, the short fibers can be uniformly distributed among the long fibers in an oblique and vertical mode, the Y-axis linking effect is enhanced, the pretreatment time is properly controlled, the fiber is prevented from being subjected to remarkable oxidation damage, the performance of the carbon fiber is reduced, the polar points can be simultaneously realized, and the preliminary oxidation point position is fixed on the surface of the carbon fiber is coated with the primary-coated carbon fiber, and the primary oxidation point is realized.
Of course, the process also needs to be matched and improved, and in the air-spreading process, the operation method of hot air pre-spreading fibers is used as the air-spreading air flow, so that the axial property of the long fiber spreading yarn is better, the stress concentration caused by local fiber enrichment is reduced, short fibers are effectively and naturally distributed, and the yield and average performance of products are improved.
The invention also makes adjustments to the impregnation process. The sectional type dipping treatment is adopted, different traction rates (the traction direction is along the axial direction of the long fibers) are respectively adopted in the sectional type dipping treatment process, and also because the pretreatment process and the front-end air flow spreading are matched, the short fibers in the continuous fiber lamellar belt can be obliquely distributed to a certain extent, the Y-axis distribution trend of the short fibers can be further enhanced in the primary motion dipping process, meanwhile, the primary coating and fixation of the dipping material on the long and short fibers are realized, and then the effective and complete coating and fixation of the dipping material are realized by adopting the final-stage penetration dipping similar to the conventional dipping, so that the finished prepreg belt is obtained.
The invention is not limited to this, but has another core point that the leaching material is improved and optimized. Namely, the thermoplastic resin is subjected to organic treatment, a reversible network and a guiding function are constructed by introducing polar functional groups through sulfonation modification and a dynamic cross-linking agent, so that the resin material can be effectively subjected to good performance enhancement, and the organic functional groups and the polar groups on the surface of the fiber form a cross-linked network, thereby effectively strengthening the mechanical properties of the resin material. The organized treatment of polyether-ether-ketone realizes strong constraint and uniform distribution of fibers at a molecular level. The synergistic effect (hydrogen bond, covalent bond and dynamic bond) of the chemical bond obviously improves the interfacial strength, wet heat resistance and functional characteristics of the prepreg tape, and ensures the high performance of the prepreg tape in extreme environments.
The polyether-ether-ketone is a semi-crystalline high-performance thermoplastic polymer, and the main chain of the polyether-ether-ketone is alternately composed of benzene rings, ether bonds and ketone groups, so that the polyether-ether-ketone is endowed with excellent high temperature resistance, chemical stability and mechanical strength. However, unmodified polyetheretherketone is less polar and has weak interfacial bonds with non-polar or weakly polar fibers (e.g., carbon fibers), resulting in insufficient interlaminar shear strength of the composite. The invention introduces specific functional groups and chemical bonds through the organic treatment, which can remarkably enhance interface combination and optimize fiber distribution.
In the invention, polyether-ether-ketone is dissolved in concentrated sulfuric acid, and sulfonic acid groups are introduced on benzene rings through electrophilic substitution reaction, so that the wettability of resin and fiber surfaces is remarkably improved by means of the strong polarity of the sulfonic acid groups. The sulfonic acid matrix in the resin substrate can form hydrogen bond with hydroxyl groups on the surface of the fiber after sulfonation, and can bond the connection strength between the substrate and the fiber through electrostatic action in an alkaline environment. And the polar groups reduce the adsorption of moisture at the interface through chemical bonding, so that the material still has higher strength retention after wet heat aging.
The modified polyether-ether-ketone matrix and the fiber interface have the effects of load transmission, effective connection groups and reinforcement. In the invention, conjugated diene and dienophile can be used for constructing a cycloolefin skeleton in a lower temperature environment between maleimide and furan, the connection strength of the modified polyether-ether-ketone substrate to continuous fibers is enhanced, in a high-temperature use environment, the resin viscosity in the prepreg tape is reduced, the fibers generate larger displacement, the cycloolefin skeleton can be opened to form an effective carbon chain, the fibers are allowed to be stretched and arranged by shearing force, the chemical linkage of the substrate to the fibers is ensured, the tensile strength of the prepreg tape in an extreme environment is improved, and the cycloolefin skeleton is recovered after cooling to form a crosslinked network for fixing the positions of the fibers.
The invention has the beneficial effects that through the organic combination of the air-laid yarn and the dip plating technology, the Y-axis bonding strength of the prepreg tape is enhanced from a microscopic level, the fiber distribution form is improved, the integral mechanical property of the prepreg tape is obviously improved and optimized, and the weather resistance of the prepreg tape is also obviously improved through the treatment improvement of the dipping material.

The results of the performance tests are shown in table 1 below.
Table 1 results of example 1 sample performance test:
From the characterization results in table 1, it is obvious that the prepreg tape of the present invention has very significant performance advantages. In terms of the coefficient of variation, the fiber shows extremely small coefficient of variation, which indicates that the continuous long fibers are extremely uniform in distribution and extremely smooth in spreading, the connection points formed by pretreatment can keep extremely good axial spreading and transverse arrangement under the cooperation of the hot air flow spreading process, mainly because a small amount of the dipping material of the connection points softens and even melts to form molten drops under the temperature condition of the hot air flow spreading yarn, the long fiber link point can slide along the axial direction of the long fiber link point to realize flattening under the coordination of tension of molten drops, polar connection among fibers and the like, so that bending and other conditions are reduced, and meanwhile, the condition that the short fibers which are uniformly linked originally are influenced to generate enrichment is avoided, but too high hot air temperature is not adopted, and the too high hot air temperature can cause agglomeration and agglomeration of the short fibers, and on the contrary, the variation coefficient is increased and the mechanical property is reduced. And the extremely low dry spot rate also shows good dip coating effect. On the other hand, the mechanical properties are very excellent. Generally, a resin matrix in the prepreg tape forms a certain structure after curing, the performance of the resin matrix has an important influence on the strength of the composite material, and the resin can enhance the mechanical property of the fiber, improve the toughness, the impact resistance, the environmental stress cracking resistance and the like of the composite material, but compared with the high strength of the carbon fiber, the strength of the resin matrix is relatively low, and the overall axial tensile strength is reduced to a certain extent. For example, the tensile strength of fiber used in UD unidirectional tape prepreg tape prepared from IMS65 carbon fiber sold in the market is about 5800 MPa, the tensile strength of X axis of the product is about 2900 MPa, the tensile strength of Y axis is only about 90-102 MPa, the tensile strength of X axis is only about 50% of that of original carbon fiber, and the modified leaching material used in the invention is as high as 73.4-77.5%, which shows that the modified leaching material used in the invention is far superior to the commercially available leaching material, the combination effect is better, the load transferring effect can be better formed, and thus, the higher performance retention rate is shown, and the theoretical use of better quality carbon fiber can show extremely superior tensile strength performance. The Y-axis tensile strength is more obviously optimized, the Y-axis tensile strength of the existing carbon fiber prepreg tape is generally only 90-110 MPa, and the performance of the invention is more than ten times, so that the special distribution of the short fibers is realized through the three-party cooperative coordination of pretreatment, hot air spreading and segmented dip plating, the Y-axis tensile strength is obviously enhanced, the tensile strength can reach about 28.7-30.3% of the tensile strength of the fibril, and is far higher than the tensile strength of the modified polyether-ether-ketone, so that the short fibers are proved to have the tensile enhancement effect in the Y-axis direction, and the effectiveness of the scheme is shown. Besides optimizing the mechanical properties of the material, the modified polyether-ether-ketone also has extremely excellent weather resistance, and the overall strength retention rate can reach more than 95% even after an aging experiment.

The same experimental characterization is carried out on each group of products, and the experimental characterization specifically comprises the steps of carrying out air flow spreading uniformity detection, namely carrying out cross section slicing on a fiber layer subjected to spreading in the step (1), observing monofilament distribution by using a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), randomly selecting 10 points along the axial direction of continuous long fibers, measuring a standard deviation (sigma) of the spreading width and an average value (z) of the spreading width of the continuous long fibers, and calculating a variation coefficient (c.v percent) of the continuous long fibers by combining the standard deviation of the spreading width and the average value of the spreading width, wherein the specific calculation formula is as follows: 。
resin impregnation efficiency three-dimensional imaging is carried out on the prepreg tape, the permeability of resin in the fiber bundles is analyzed, 1m prepreg tape is randomly intercepted, and the dry spot area ratio (without resin coverage area) is counted.
And (3) mechanical property detection, namely respectively carrying out characterization detection on the tensile strength of the X axis and the tensile strength of the Y axis of the prepreg tape.
And (3) detecting the durability of a wet heat environment, namely aging the fiber reinforced prepreg tape prepared in the example by 500 h under the environment condition that the temperature is 85 ℃ and the environment humidity is 85%, and testing the retention rate of mechanical properties.
The results of the performance tests are shown in table 7 below.
Table 7 comparative example 2 sample performance test results:
As is apparent from the above characterization results of table 7, the use of room temperature air flow for air-laid yarns resulted in a significant increase in the uniformity of distribution of the product, an increase in the dry spot rate, and a drastic decrease in the X-axis tensile strength, while the Y-axis supporting tensile effect was produced due to the possible winding twist of more obliquely distributed fibers or continuous filaments, but the overall performance was clearly not in accordance with the expected performance of the present invention. While hot air stretch using slightly lower temperatures also presents similar problems, but to a lesser extent. The hot air spreading yarn is performed at an excessively high temperature, the distribution of short fibers is obviously influenced, less agglomeration and caking are possibly generated, the variation coefficient is slightly increased, the X-axis tensile strength is at a better level although the reduction amplitude is smaller, the reduction amplitude of the Y-axis tensile strength is extremely huge, and the influence of the temperature on the short fibers in the air spreading yarn treatment process is obvious.
Comparative example 3 based on example 1, the control of the dipping treatment process of step 4) was performed for transverse comparison, and the following comparative group was specifically set.

The results of the performance tests are shown in table 9 below.
Table 9 results of comparative example 3 sample performance test:
as is apparent from the above characterization results in table 9, the dip plating process is a core process of the technical scheme of the present invention, and has a significant influence on the performance of the product. The sectional dip plating is a key process for controlling the distribution of long and short fibers, and an excessively small initial traction rate is adopted, so that the distribution form and the axial direction of the short fibers are deviated from an expected target after the initial coating and fixing of the short fibers, but the excessively large traction rate can possibly cause curling or even stages of continuous long fibers, the influence of the excessively large traction rate is not obvious for a conventional continuous fiber lamellar band, but the excessively large traction rate can possibly cause approaching nodes due to the fact that a linkage point is generated in the pretreatment process, fiber bending among the nodes and the like occur, and the performance is obviously reduced.
Comparative example 4 based on example 1, this example only adjusts the leaching.

The results of the performance tests are shown in table 11 below.
Table 11 results of the test for the properties of the samples of comparative example 4:
From the characterization results in table 11, it is obvious that the modified polyether ether ketone of the invention has a significant effect on the product performance. Because the bonding strength of the polyether-ether-ketone and the carbon fiber is limited, the polyether-ether-ketone is difficult to achieve good load transfer and reinforcement effects, and the weather resistance is far weaker than that of the modified polyether-ether-ketone constructed by the invention, so that the strength retention rate is also drastically reduced after the wet heat aging.
It is obvious from the above that for the technical scheme of the invention, the high-quality product is prepared and is effectively optimized by the pretreatment, hot air spreading and sectional dip plating through the cooperative matching.
