Water-based SPEKK sizing agent for improving the mechanical properties of CF/PEKK composites

摘要: 由于碳纤维(CF)的化学惰性,导致了CF和聚醚酮酮(PEKK)的界面结合较差,限制了碳纤维增强聚醚酮酮(CF/PEKK)复合材料力学性能的发挥。本文通过将国产PEKK树脂进行磺化处理制备了磺化聚醚酮酮(SPEKK)水性上浆剂,以改善CF/PEKK复合材料的力学性能。通过调控SPEKK的磺化度使其能够形成稳定的水性乳液,对CF进行上浆改性,并通过真空热压制备了CF/PEKK复合材料。研究发现,当水性SPEKK乳液的浓度为0.5wt%时,改性后的CF/PEKK复合材料的弯曲强度、弯曲模量和层间剪切强度分别达到了1237 MPa、78 GPa和92 MPa,比未改性的CF/PEKK复合材料分别提升了35.5%、5.4%和26.0%。CF/PEKK复合材料力学性能的改善,可能归因于在CF表面引入的SPEKK通过与CF产生氢键、π-π相互作用及与PEKK树脂基体形成π-π相互作用、分子间扩散和缠结等显著增强了CF与PEKK的界面结合。采用水性SPEKK上浆剂对碳纤维表面处理,不会产生环境污染,工艺更加简单,且适合于碳纤维的工业化生产,对于发展国产高性能碳纤维增强热塑性复合材料具有重要意义。

Abstract: The interfacial interactions between carbon fiber (CF) and polyetherketoneketone (PEKK) are poor due to the chemical inertness of CF, limiting the mechanical properties of carbon fiber reinforced polyetherketoneketone (CF/PEKK) composites. In this study, a water-based sizing agent of sulfonated polyetherketoneketone (SPEKK) was prepared by sulfonating domestic PEKK resin, in order to improve the mechanical properties of CF/PEKK composites. By regulating the sulfonation degree, the stable SPEKK aqueous emulsion was obtained and used for CF sizing modification. Subsequently, CF/PEKK composites were fabricated via vacuum hot-press technique. When the concentration of SPEKK aqueous emulsion was 0.5wt%, the flexural strength, flexural modulus and interlaminar shear strength of the modified CF/PEKK composites reached 1237 MPa, 78 GPa, and 92 MPa, which were 35.5%, 5.4%, and 26.0% higher than that of the unmodified CF/PEKK composites, respectively. Such enhancement in mechanical properties could be attributed to the introduced SPEKK on the CF surfaces, which could form hydrogen bonds and π-π interactions with CF, as well as π-π interactions and diffusion and entanglement with PEKK, significantly promoting the interfacial bonding between CF and PEKK. As a simpler process, CF surface modification with water-based SPEKK sizing agent is environmentally friendly and suitable for the industrial production, which is of great significance for the development of domestic high-performance carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites. -
