摘要: 为了改善高模量碳纤维(HMCF)表面润湿性及增强其复合材料界面性能,本文采用机械共混法,将尺寸为100~500 nm的少层Ti3C2Tx-MXene水分散液与水性环氧乳液上浆剂进行复配,制备了适用于HMCF的Ti3C2Tx-MXene/环氧树脂(EP)改性环氧乳液复合上浆剂,并以连续上浆技术在HMCF表面构筑了富含Ti3C2Tx-MXene的特性涂层,以期改善HMCF/EP复合材料的界面结合性能。通过SEM、XPS和动态接触角测试对HMCF的表面形貌、表面化学状态和表面润湿性能进行了表征,并以层间剪切强度(ILSS)和断面形貌测试对HMCF/EP复合材料的界面结合状况进行了分析表征,最后以复合材料的剪切破坏模型对Ti3C2Tx-MXene/EP复合上浆剂改性的HMCF/EP复合材料的界面增强机制进行了探讨。结果表明,经Ti3C2Tx-MXene/EP复合上浆剂表面处理后,HMCF表面的O/C(原子比)提高,并赋予其一定量的纳米尺度小凸起微机械结构,改善了HMCF的表面润湿性。当环氧乳液上浆剂固含量为0.8%,Ti3C2Tx-MXene浓度为1.0 mg/mL时,HMCF/EP复合材料的ILSS值提高了23.8%,达到85.9 MPa。

Abstract: In order to improve the surface wettability of high modulus carbon fibers (HMCF) and enhance the interfacial properties of their composites, a few-layer Ti3C2Tx-MXene aqueous dispersion with a size of 100-500 nm was mixed with an aqueous epoxy emulsion to prepare an Ti3C2Tx-MXene modified sizing agent for HMCF by mechanical blending method. The continuous sizing technology was used to construct a characteristic coating rich in Ti3C2Tx-MXene on the surface of HMCF in order to improve the interface bonding of HMCF/epoxy resin (EP) composites. The surface morphology, surface chemical state and surface wettability of HMCF were characterized by SEM, XPS and dynamic contact angle test, and the interface bonding of HMCF/EP composites was analyzed and characterized by interlaminar shear strength (ILSS) and cross-sectional morphology tests. Finally, the interface enhancement mechanism of Ti3C2Tx-Mxene/EP sizing agent-modified HMCF/EP composites was investigated with the shear damage models of the composites. The results show that after the surface treatment with Ti3C2Tx-MXene modified sizing agent, the O/C (atomic ratio) of the HMCF surface is increased, and a certain amount of nano-scale convex micromechanical structures are introduced to improve the surface wettability of HMCF. When the solid content of the epoxy emulsion sizing agent is 0.8% and the concentration of Ti3C2Tx-MXene is 1.0 mg/mL, the ILSS of the HMCF/EP composites increases by 23.8% to 85.9 MPa.-
