  • 摘要: 纤维增强酚醛复合材料作为烧蚀型热防护材料被广泛用于航天领域,进一步提高树脂的抗热氧化性和复合材料的抗烧蚀性,是提升航天飞行器质量与可靠性的关键。为此,本论文以二苯基二甲氧基硅烷为硅源,苯硼酸为硼源,采用简单的无溶剂法,将硼、硅元素引入到热塑性酚醛树脂(NR)中,合成了具有高残碳率的硼硅杂化酚醛树脂(BSiNR);以碳纤维(CF)为增强相,制备了碳纤维增强杂化酚醛树脂基复合材料(CF/BSiNR),分析了树脂的热氧稳定性及复合材料的力学性能、抗烧蚀性能和烧蚀碳层的结构等。发现氮气气氛下BSiNR的初始热分解温度(T5%)和1000℃下的残碳率(R1000)分别可达到391.4℃和71.5%。采用热重-红外光谱联用、XRD、XPS和SEM等对热解气相、固相产物结构进行分析,发现硼、硅杂元素可使树脂热解碳的石墨化程度提高,并形成抗热流冲刷的热障陶瓷结构,有效降低热、氧交换效率,提高其抗烧蚀性能,其线性烧蚀率和质量烧蚀率仅为0.005 mm/s和0.0354 g/s,分别降低了89.8%和50.4%。结果表明,这种具备优异高热氧化稳定性和抗烧蚀性能的新型树脂有望应用于热防护系统。

     

    Abstract: Fiber-reinforced phenolic composites, as an ablative thermal protection material, is widely used in the aerospace applications to enhance the thermal oxidation resistance and ablation performance, which is the key to improving the quality and reliability of aerospace vehicles. For this reason, in this study, it used the diphenyldimethoxysilane as the silicon source and phenylboronic acid as the boron source. By using a simple solvent-free method, the boron and silicon elements were introduced into the thermoplastic phenolic resin (NR), and a boron-silicon hybrid thermoplastic phenolic resin (BSiNR) with an excellent thermal-oxidative stability was designed and synthesized. Carbon fiber (CF) was selected as the reinforcement phase to fabricate a carbon fiber-reinforced hybrid phenolic resin matrix composite (CF/BSiNR) while its mechanical performance, anti-ablation performance and carbon layer after ablation were researched. Compared with NR, BSiNR exhibits an initial thermal decomposition temperature (T5%) of 391.4℃ and a char yield at 1000℃ (R1000) of 71.5% under the nitrogen atmosphere. Through the thermogravimetry-infrared spectroscopy, XRD, and SEM analyses of the pyrolysis products, it is revealed that the introduction of silicon and boron elements progressively enhances the graphitization degree of the pyrolytic carbon while gradually forming an amorphous ceramic structure, thereby reducing the thermal and oxygen exchange efficiency. CF/BSiNR demonstrates the outstanding ablation performance, with a linear ablation rate and mass ablation rate as low as 0.005 mm/s and 0.0354 g/s, representing reductions of 89.79% and 50.42%, respectively. It proves that this new type of resin with excellent high-temperature oxidation stability and anti-ablation performance is expected to be applied in the thermal protection systems.
