摘要: 面芯界面性能是复合材料夹芯结构发挥其力学/多功能优势的关键,热塑性树脂具有可熔融再造的特点,使热塑性复合材料夹芯结构(TPCSS)可在不引入新材料的前提下,形成连续可靠的面芯界面。对近年来热塑性复合材料夹芯结构熔融连接研究进展进行了梳理,总结了常见构型与所用材料,重点归纳了主要的熔融连接方法,包括热板焊接、模压成型、连续热压、面芯共编和增材制造等。基于国内外研究和应用现状,展望了熔融连接热塑性复合材料夹芯结构的未来发展趋势和应用前景。Abstract: The performance of facesheet/core interface is the key for the composite sandwich structures to exert their mechanical/multifunctional advantages. The melt-reconstruction of thermoplastic resin provides a new choice for the facesheet/core connection of the thermoplastic composite sandwich structure (TPCSS), which can realize continuous and reliable facesheet/core interface without introducing new materials. This article summarizes the fusion bonding methods of thermoplastic composite sandwich structures in recent years. Common configurations and materials are summarized, and the main fusion bonding methods, including hot plate welding, compression molding, continuous hot pressing, facesheet/core co-weaving and additive manufacturing are reviewed and concluded. Based on the research and application status at home and abroad, the future development trend and application prospects of the fusion-bonded thermoplastic composite sandwich structure are prospected.
