摘要: 为分析纳米固体颗粒在剪切增稠液体(STF)稠化过程中的影响及其在中低速稳态剪切和高速动态冲击环境下发挥的作用,以纳米SiO2和聚乙二醇(PEG 200)作为分散相和连续相,以不同含量的纳米石墨和纳米金刚石颗粒为添加剂,制备STF。研究样品的摩擦系数曲线和不同温度下的流变特性,以临界剪切速率、稠化区间长度和增稠比为指标依托,分析不同温度环境和不同纳米固体添加剂含量下剪切增稠机制的变化。并通过分离式霍普金森压杆(SHPB)实验探究瞬态高速冲击条件下STF的力学响应。流变特性实验结果表明:高温环境下分子间排斥力增强,粒子簇的形成需更强的分子间动力接触,因此稠化区间长度延长。纳米金刚石颗粒加强了粒子簇之间的接触耦合力和接触概率,使体系最大黏度达1679 Pa·s,增稠比值高达318倍,提升了STF的流变特性。SHPB实验的结果表明:在受到瞬时冲击后,STF可在50~75 μs时间范围内完成动态响应,最大应力可达78 MPa。子弹的入射动能不仅会转变为热能和固液转换的相变能,还能转变为颗粒间的摩擦能。因此,通过改变固体添加剂的参数,能有效控制STF的力学特性和增稠效果,从而制备出适合不同领域应用的STF。Abstract: In order to analyze the influence of nano-solid particles in the thickening process of shear thickening fluid (STF) and its role in the environment of low-speed steady-state shear and high-speed dynamic impact, nano-SiO2 and polyethylene glycol (PEG 200) were used as the dispersed and continuous phases, and different contents of nano-graphite and nano-diamond particles were used as additives to prepare several STF. The friction coefficient curve and the rheological properties at different temperatures were studied. Based on the critical shear rate, the length of the thickening period and the thickening ratio, the changes of shear thickening mechanism under different temperature environments and different nano-solid additive contents were analyzed. And the mechanical response of the STF under transient high-speed impact conditions was explore through the split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) experiment. The experimental results of rheological properties show that the intermolecular repulsive force is enhanced under high temperature environment, and the formation of molecular clusters requires stronger intermolecular dynamic contact, so the length of the thickening interval is extended. Nano-diamond particles strengthen the contact coupling force and contact probability between the particle clusters, so that the maximum viscosity of the system reaches 1679 Pa·s, the thickening ratio is as high as 318 times, and the rheological properties of the STF are improved. The results of the SHPB experiment show that after being impacted, the STF can complete a dynamic response within a 50-75 μs time range, and the maximum stress can reach 78 MPa. The incident kinetic energy of the bullet is not only transformed into thermal energy and phase change energy of solid-liquid conversion, but also into frictional energy between particles. Therefore, by changing the parameters of the solid additive, the mechanical properties and thickening effect of the STF can be effectively controlled, to prepare the STF suitable for applications in different fields.
