Description

Shape memory composite material and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of 4D printing materials, and particularly relates to a shape memory composite material and a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
The 4D printing is the characteristic that the shape of a material/structure printed by 3D changes along with time under the stimulation of an external environment, and due to the fact that one dimension (time) is added, the shape of a 4D printing part is not static any more, but is presented in a controllable dynamic form, and the shape can be converted into a new shape in an expected mode under the excitation of the environment to meet new requirements. In other words, 4D printing is based on 3D printing, and is intelligently implanted into a part, so that the application prospect is very wide.
Most of the current 4D printing is realized based on the principle of polymer shape memory effect, i.e. mechanical deformation is performed on a polymer material at a high temperature (the polymer is in a rubbery state), cooling is performed under the condition of maintaining the constraint on deformation, the temperature of the polymer material is reduced (the polymer is in a glassy state), and the deformation of the material is substantially maintained after the constraint on the release; by reheating, the material releases the stress, achieving a recovery of the shape. Thus, the polymeric material is a natural shape memory material.
However, the current 4D printed shape memory polymer materials have a natural drawback that the elastic modulus of the polymer materials is very small at temperatures above their own glass transition temperature, and thus it is difficult to apply the polymer materials to a strong and stable structure. Therefore, it is an important research subject in the field of materials to improve the modulus of 4D printed shape memory polymer materials.
To overcome the natural drawback of low modulus of shape memory polymers, researchers have attempted to increase their modulus by means of composite materials. For example, CN109897375A discloses a high-strength flexible epoxy resin modified cyanate ester resin/carbon fiber composite shape memory material, which is formed by compounding a carbon fiber material reinforcing phase and a modified cyanate ester resin matrix, wherein the modified cyanate ester resin matrix comprises the following components: 2-4 parts of carboxyl-terminated liquid nitrile rubber, 2-5 parts of flexible epoxy resin and 8-12 parts of cyanate resin; wherein, the cyanate resin is matrix resin, the carboxyl-terminated liquid nitrile rubber and the flexible epoxy resin are toughening agents, the carbon fiber material is a reinforcing phase, and the carbon fiber material is formed by vacuum heating and curing, and accounts for 40-60% of the total mass of the shape memory material; the shape memory material has smooth surface, no obvious defect, high tensile strength, high tensile modulus, high shearing strength and high bending strength. CN111171520A discloses a modified carbon nanotube reinforced shape memory epoxy resin composite material, which is prepared by heating epoxy resin, a modified carbon nanotube and a curing agent under the vacuum condition in the presence of a catalyst; wherein the modified carbon nanotube is carbon nanotube powder with surface modified epoxy groups, and the addition amount is 0.05-1.5wt.%; the modified carbon nanotube reinforced shape memory epoxy resin composite material has good mechanical strength, toughness and shape memory performance. CN103897337A discloses a nano graphite sheet reinforced shape memory composite material, which comprises thermosetting resin, flake nano graphite reinforced material and curing agent, wherein the weight ratio of the thermosetting resin to the flake nano graphite reinforced material is 100 (0.5-4), and the weight ratio of the thermosetting resin to the curing agent is 100 (10-20); the shape memory composite material has an extremely wide temperature regulation range and shows good practical performance in the aspects of tensile strength, elastic modulus, shape memory performance and the like.
In general, a more common mode of modulus enhancement is to add a second phase with ultra-high modulus, such as carbon fiber, carbon nanotube, graphene, carbon black, ceramic sheet, etc., to the shape memory polymer. However, the reinforced phases and the polymer matrix have large differences in material properties and basically belong to different material categories, and the bonding force of the materials belongs to different categories, so that the interface bonding force between the materials is poor, the deformation of the composite material cannot be too large, or the falling of the reinforced phases is easy to occur; on the other hand, the reinforcing phase material is distributed in the matrix in a random mode, so that the shape memory performance of the shape memory polymer material is reduced, and the performance requirement of 4D printing is difficult to meet.
Therefore, the development of a material with good shape memory performance, high modulus and large deformation tolerance is an urgent problem to be solved in the field.

Example 1
A shape memory composite material and a preparation method thereof, the structure schematic diagram of the shape memory composite material is shown in figure 5, the shape memory composite material comprises a polymer matrix and a bracket structure arranged in the polymer matrix, and the structure schematic diagrams of the polymer matrix and the bracket structure are respectively shown in figure 4 and figure 3; the support structure is an octet-tress truss lattice structure, and the diameter of the unit cell rod piece is 1mm; the volume percentage content of the support structure in the shape memory composite material is 11.4%. The material of the scaffold structure is a first polymer Veroblue, and the material of the polymer matrix is a second polymer Tangoblack +.
The preparation method of the shape memory composite material comprises the following steps:
the preparation was carried out by inkjet 3D printing using a 3D printer (Connex 350 from Stratasys corporation), simultaneously printing the two above mentioned polymeric materials in one piece, specifically: the Veroblue material and the Tangoblack + material are respectively arranged in different printing channels of a 3D printer, based on a leading-in preset 3D graph structure, printing software automatically slices a 3D model and distributes the spraying positions of different materials, a printer nozzle moves in the horizontal direction to spray a polymer material in the printing process, ultraviolet light curing is carried out simultaneously, printing, curing and stacking are carried out layer by layer until the height of the printed design is stopped, and the shape memory composite material is obtained.
The physical diagram of the shape memory composite material provided in this example is shown in fig. 6, where the dark region is the polymer matrix (second polymer Tangoblack +), and the light region is the externally shown scaffold (first polymer Veroblue).
Comparative example 1
A shape memory material which differs from example 1 only in that it does not contain a scaffold structure, i.e. is only a shape memory material consisting of the second polymer Tangoblack +.
The mechanical properties of the shape memory composite materials provided in example 1 and comparative example 1 were examined by the following specific methods:
the stress-strain curve of the material to be tested is tested by adopting a Zwick/Roell Z020 universal material testing machine, the stress-strain curve graph of the shape memory material in the comparative example 1 is shown in figure 7, the stress-strain curve is a stress-strain curve of a second polymer Tangoblack + at room temperature (25 ℃), and the elastic modulus of the material at the room temperature is 0.37MPa according to the slope of the curve.
The stress-strain curve of the shape memory composite provided in example 1 is shown in fig. 8, where different curves in fig. 8 represent the total amount of strain loaded in different experiments, and the total strain increases sequentially when multiple experiments are performed on the same composite sample at room temperature (25 ℃), with cyclic loading-unloading. From FIG. 8, it can be calculated that the elastic modulus of the shape memory composite material at room temperature is 26.6MPa, which is about 70 times the elastic modulus of the Tangoblack + material at room temperature.
Meanwhile, the curves in fig. 8 all have a horizontal portion at the end of the unloading section, coinciding with the X-axis. This is due to the viscoelasticity of the first polymer, veroblue, as a scaffold structure. Due to the visco-elastic property, the Veroblue polymer material has a hysteresis effect in deformation, and the horizontal segment of the curve coincident with the X axis is not caused by plasticity. The residual deformation can be quickly eliminated only by increasing the temperature, and particularly, the residual deformation of the material can be eliminated instantly by heating the temperature of the shape memory composite material to be higher than the glass transition temperature of the Veroblue material, so that the shape memory composite material can be quickly recovered to the initial size without remaining permanent residual deformation.
Therefore, the shape memory composite material provided by the invention is wholly in a rubber state at room temperature (25 ℃), and has the characteristic of high elasticity; meanwhile, the elastic modulus is far higher than that of a matrix material Tangoblack +, so that the application space of the matrix material Tangoblack + at room temperature (rubber state) is greatly expanded.
Since the volume percentage of the scaffold structure in the shape memory composite material provided in example 1 is only 11.4%, the volume percentage is low, therefore, the original characteristics of the polymer matrix Tangoblack + material can be well preserved, and the shape memory composite material is in a rubbery state at room temperature and has high elasticity and shape programming capability. Meanwhile, the shape memory composite material can realize the effect of enhancing the elastic modulus of the original matrix phase Tangoblack + by 70 times at room temperature with extremely low volume fraction of the enhanced phase.
In addition, the shape memory composite material structure can obtain shape fixation below 0 ℃ after being deformed at room temperature, once the temperature is raised to the room temperature again, the 4D printed shape memory composite material structure can be restored to the original shape, and the rubber state modulus is ultrahigh, so that the shape memory composite material structure can be widely applied to application scenes with certain constrained deformation.
Examples 2 to 5
A shape memory composite material, which is different from example 1 only in that the unit cell rods of the lattice structure of the octet-tress truss as a scaffold structure have different diameters, thereby making the volume percentage of the scaffold structure in the shape memory composite material different, as shown in table 1; other structures, materials and preparation methods are the same as those of example 1. The shape memory composite materials provided in examples 2 to 5 were subjected to modulus test in the same manner as in example 1, and the data are shown in Table 1.
TABLE 1
Rod diameter (mm) Percent volume of scaffold (%) Modulus of elasticity (MPa)
0.8 7.5 22.4
1 11.4 26.6
1.2 15.9 32.6
1.4 20.8 41.6
1.6 26.2 54.1
The performance test results of the embodiments 1 to 5 show that the shape memory composite material with a specific structure is formed by using two polymer materials, namely Veroblue and Tangoblack + by a 3D printing method, and the novel shape memory composite material has higher mechanical properties such as modulus, hardness and the like in a rubber state (at normal temperature), and simultaneously has excellent properties such as high elasticity, shape programmability and the like when the polymer is in the rubber state. Meanwhile, through the geometric parameter design of the lattice structure of the octet-tress truss in the support structure, the shape memory composite material with different reinforced phase volume fractions can be obtained, so that the mechanical properties of the shape memory composite material, such as modulus and the like, can be regulated and controlled, the elastic modulus is 22.4-54.1MPa, and the performance requirements on the 4D printing material under different application scenes are met.
The applicant states that the present invention is illustrated by the above examples of the shape memory composite material of the present invention and the preparation method and application thereof, but the present invention is not limited to the above process steps, i.e. it does not mean that the present invention must rely on the above process steps to be carried out. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that any modification of the present invention, equivalent substitutions of selected materials and additions of auxiliary components, selection of specific modes and the like, which are within the scope and disclosure of the present invention, are contemplated by the present invention.
