Description

Production system for preparing thermoplastic prepreg by mud method
Technical Field
The invention relates to a prepreg production system, in particular to a production system for preparing a thermoplastic prepreg by a slurry method.
Background
Resin-based composite materials, also called fiber reinforced plastics, are composite materials which take organic high polymers as a matrix and take glass fibers, carbon fibers, basalt fibers or aramid fibers and the like as reinforcements, and are widely applied to various fields such as life and production at present. At present, the preparation of the thermoplastic prepreg is difficult, the cost is relatively high, and various thermoplastic prepreg preparation processes such as a powder method, a film method, a fiber mixing method, a solution method, a melt extrusion method, an in-situ polymerization method and the like are developed successively by domestic and foreign research units and enterprises.
At present, the scale production of the thermoplastic carbon fiber prepreg in China is in a starting stage, the equipment and the process are not mature enough, and a scale production line of the thermoplastic carbon fiber prepreg capable of running stably is not available. Mature thermoplastic products in the international market are mostly produced by TenCat and Gurit companies, and the solvents, the melting impregnation process and the powder melting impregnation process are adopted to prepare the prepreg, but the equipment price and the later maintenance cost are higher, so that the final product price is high, and the popularization of the thermoplastic carbon fiber prepreg is influenced.
The preparation of the thermoplastic prepreg by the slurry process is to uniformly soak and disperse superfine resin powder into fiber bundles by a slurry method, and to fully soak the fibers by heating the resin, so that the prepreg can be conveniently produced by high-melting-point and high-viscosity resin (such as PEEK). The technology mainly has the technical bottleneck that the concentration of the resin slurry is not controlled: when the fiber passes through the impregnation tank, a large amount of resin powder is taken away, so that the concentration of slurry in the impregnation tank becomes thinner gradually along with the prolonging of production time, the resin content of the prepreg cannot be kept constant, and the product quality and continuous industrial production are directly influenced. In addition, the production line of the mud-method thermoplastic prepreg does not have a resin melt extrusion impregnation roller, and resin melt impregnation of fibers is mainly carried out through a pultrusion die. In the prior art, the die cavity of the pultrusion die is of an equal section, the resin impregnation effect of the die is poor, and resin is easy to accumulate at the inlet of the die, so that the fiber is influenced to enter the die to cause damage and fracture.
