Detailed Description
In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the inventors of the present invention have made extensive studies and extensive practices to provide technical solutions of the present invention. The technical solution, its implementation and principles, etc. will be further explained as follows.
Technical terms involved in the embodiments of the present invention: the transition temperature, in the present invention, refers to the phase transition temperature, i.e. the temperature at which the crystals transition to the molten state. As the special polymer fiber is not completely 100% crystallized, the phase transition temperature range is wide (300-500 ℃ measured by DSC), and the molecular chain moves easily in the temperature range, the fiber is twisted at a proper temperature selected in the range, namely around the transition temperature, so that the twisted fiber helical structure is more uniform and stable.
Among various novel driving materials, the thermally driven bionic driver (artificial muscle fiber) based on the highly twisted spiral structure has the advantages of large output strain and output force, easiness in control and weaving, lower cost, large-scale preparation and the like, and is considered to be one of the materials with the most potential as a flexible driver.
The technical principle of the bionic driver capable of working in a high-temperature environment provided by the embodiment of the invention is as follows: the polymer chains oriented along the spiral structure shrink with the increase of temperature, and the entropy increasing direction change from relative order to disorder occurs, so that the spiral fiber is untwisted, macroscopically represented by radial expansion and axial contraction of the fiber, and therefore, the improvement of the orientation of the polymer molecular chains is beneficial to the improvement of the thermal driving performance of the fiber.
The inventor of the present invention finds that: the high-strength and high-modulus special fiber (namely, polymer fiber, the same below) is composed of a benzene ring, a five-membered heterocycle and the like, and has higher crystallinity, so that molecular chain rigidity is high, transition temperature is high, molecular chain conformation is difficult to transition, and a fiber helical structure obtained by directly twisting has lower orientation, unstable structure and poorer heat driving performance; the inventor carries out a large number of tests and finally selects twisting near the transition temperature of the special fiber, so that molecular chains in a lamella region and an amorphous region are further aligned and oriented along the direction of external force, and then annealing and shaping are carried out in the air, so that the molecular chain orientation is improved, the anisotropic thermal behavior is amplified, and the thermal driving performance of the fiber is improved.
The inventor researches and discovers that: twisting near the transition temperature of the fiber is beneficial to the movement of molecular chains, so that the molecular chains are further oriented under the action of external force, and the most appropriate twisting temperature is determined by researching the change of the thermophysical property of the fiber along with the temperature and the difference of the driving performance of the twisted spiral fiber under different temperature conditions.
The inventor discovers through a large number of test experiments that: the endothermic transition temperature of the special fiber is in a wider temperature range of 300-500 ℃, a series of thermal twisting fiber samples with temperature gradients are prepared in the temperature range, under the condition of the same other conditions, the dependency relationship of the driving amount of the fiber along with the twisting temperature is obtained, and the experimental result shows that compared with the normal-temperature twisting, the thermal twisting has higher degree of orientation of the fiber, and the driving performance of the twisted fiber at 400 ℃ is the best.
In tests, the temperature condition during twisting of the fiber influences the driving amount of the driver, and the temperature during twisting influences the orientation of the internal molecular chains of the fiber, the stability of the spiral structure and the mechanical strength of the fiber, so that the thermal driving performance of the fiber is influenced, however, clear theoretical analysis is lacked between the orientation and other conditions of the molecular chains of the twisted special fiber at different temperatures and the corresponding driving performance; and the working temperature that the driver formed by the fiber through hot twisting can bear when working is mainly determined by the thermal stability of the original fiber, and the driving performance including the driving amount is mainly influenced by changing the temperature when the fiber is twisted.
The driver prepared by the invention can bear higher working temperature mainly due to high thermal decomposition temperature and good thermal stability of the special fiber; in addition, twisting can damage the strength of the fiber, if the twisting temperature is too high (such as too high decomposition temperature), the strength of the fiber can be greatly reduced, the high temperature tolerance is inevitably weakened, but the temperature of the fiber twisting is not necessarily related to the bearable working temperature, the twisting temperature is near the temperature at which the molecular chain starts to move, the twisting temperature is too low to improve the driving performance, and the fiber strength is too high to reduce.
The inventor of the present invention finds through experimental comparison that the driving quantity of the driver obtained by the hot twisting method at a specific temperature has an obvious effect of increasing from less than 5% to 18.9%.
The embodiment of the invention provides a thermally-driven high-temperature-resistant bionic driver with a spiral structure, and particularly relates to a method for regulating and thermally setting the orientation degree of a molecular chain of high-performance organic fibers (special fibers) with high temperature resistance, high strength and high modulus by using high-temperature hot twisting, which benefits from the characteristics of excellent thermal stability, high mechanical strength, modulus and the like of the special fibers, the bionic driver provided by the embodiment of the invention has good driving performance, excellent heat resistance and excellent cycle stability, the maximum driving temperature of the bionic driver reaches 610 ℃, the maximum reversible shrinkage is 18.9%, the maximum energy density is 1.3kJ/kg, the bionic driver can keep good driving performance at the ambient temperature of more than 300 ℃, and the upper limit of the use temperature of the existing fibrous driver is broken through.
The special fiber adopted in the preparation method provided by the embodiment of the invention can be commercial special fiber which can be produced in large scale, and the bionic driver provided by the embodiment of the invention has simple preparation process, is easy to use and practical, and provides more choices for drivers working in high-temperature environment.
