A kind of preparation method of polymethyl methacrylate base abscess functionally gradient material (FGM)
Technical field
The present invention relates to functionally gradient material (FGM), particularly adopt the supercritical carbon dioxide foaming technology to prepare the PMMA(polymethyl methacrylate) basic abscess functionally gradient material (FGM), its cell diameter can be controlled at micron dimension, and bulk density is little, and cell density can design and control.
Background technology
Functionally gradient material (FGM) is in order to adapt to new material at the needs of high-tech sector, satisfy a kind of advanced composite material (ACM) that constantly repeatedly works and develop under extreme environment.Its Nomenclature Composition and Structure of Complexes through-thickness changes in gradient, so the performance of material also changes in gradient.Because it has higher mechanical strength, heat shock resistance, the high temperature resistant performance that waits excellence has just caused countries in the world researchers' great attention and it has been launched research once proposition.For example in those early years study hotter Ti/Al
2O
3Functionally gradient material (FGM) is to adopt certain gradient complex technique to hold continuous transition to pure ceramic Al from simple metal Ti material
2O
3End, the good characteristic that makes material both have metal Ti has again Al
2O
3Good heat-resisting, heat insulation, the high-strength and high-temperature oxidation resistance of pottery, simultaneously because the continuous variation of inter-level, eliminated the macroscopic interface in the material, integral material shows good thermal stress relaxation properties, make it under the severe rugged environment conditions such as superhigh temperature, the large temperature difference, the impact of high speed hot-fluid, to use, be expected to be used as the fuselage, Inner Wall of Combustion Chamber etc. of space shuttle of new generation and turbogenerator, high-efficiency gas turbine etc. the superhigh temperature heat proof material is provided.
For the functionally gradient material (FGM) of different systems, worked out multiple preparation method, such as chemical vapour deposition technique, powder metallurgic method, plasma spraying method, self-propagating combustion high-temperature synthesis, LASER HEATING synthetic method, particle co-electrodeposition method etc.For low-density foamed material, usually adopt bonding method to prepare the gradient foam with laminated construction.But foamed material easily is corroded, and therefore this method is very high to the requirement of bonding agent.In addition, bonding interface can cause the existence of fine and close adhesive linkage, and the gradient-structure of foam can be destroyed.When in bonding process, exerting pressure, also can the thin-wall construction of foam be destroyed to some extent, thus the foam gradient of impact design.
The supercritical fluid foaming technique is to adopt supercritical fluid as a kind of physical foaming method of blowing agent, and the critical-temperature temperature of carbon dioxide is 31.1 ℃, and critical pressure is 7.38MPa, and experiment condition is gentle, therefore often is selected as blowing agent.Supercritical carbon dioxide adsorbs saturated under certain temperature and pressure in polymer, make carbon dioxide reach the thermodynamic instability state by quick pressure releasing again, induce gas nuclear in polymeric matrix, to form microcellular structure, and reduce the temperature to rapidly below the glass transition temperature of polymeric matrix, obtain having the foamed material of microcellular structure.Compare with traditional chemical foaming technology, the prepared foamed material of this method has less abscess-size and the cell density of Geng Gao, therefore has higher specific strength and dimensional stability.Successfully develop polypropylene (PP), styrene (PS), polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), polyethylene (PE) etc. as the fine-celled foam of matrix with the method at present.
For the supercritical fluid foaming technique, it satisfies the nucleating growth theory, and the degree of supercooling (temperature difference) the when degree of supersaturation the when nucleation process of its abscess and pressure release (pressure reduction), foaming, gas diffusion concentration, nucleating point etc. are all closely related.In our research, find, after evenly spreading in the polymeric matrix by certain method nano particle, can prepare polymer based nanocomposites, with this nano composite material foaming constantly, nano particle in the polymeric matrix can be used as the heterogeneous nucleation agent, heterogeneous nucleating effect is high more a lot of than homogeneous nucleation functioning efficiency, and therefore the composite after the foaming has higher cell density and lower abscess-size.Simultaneously, different nano particles is different to the heterogeneous nucleation efficient of polymer, and for example, CNTs is better to the heterogeneous nucleating effect of PMMA matrix, and the Ag nano particle is relatively poor to the heterogeneous nucleating effect of PMMA matrix.The bonding problem of foam is the preparation difficult problem of gradient foam always, and we are pressed onto different composite melting heats together, then by the foaming of supercritical carbon dioxide foaming technology, can prepare the abscess functionally gradient material (FGM) without adhesive linkage.
Domestic and international patent is shown from the new result of looking into of document: also do not adopt the different composite of melting hot pressing to prepare the literature research report of the abscess functionally gradient material (FGM) of adhesive-free at present.
