Definitions

  • the present invention is related to a liquid carbon precursor formulation or composition and a process for preparing the liquid carbon precursor composition.
  • a liquid carbon precursor into the pores of a porous object or preform (e.g., a carbon reinforcing material such as a bundle of carbon fibers) to form an impregnated preform
  • a liquid carbon precursor e.g., a carbon reinforcing material such as a bundle of carbon fibers
  • solidifying e.g., by curing to form a thermoset
  • carbonizing e.g., by curing to form a thermoset
  • GB 1343773 A discloses graphite articles reinforced with carbon fibres prepared by impregnating a bundle of aligned carbon fibres with a liquid containing a thermosetting resin such as an epoxy resin.
  • GB 1343773 A has a viscosity that increases with time and temperature; and thus, as the viscosity of the epoxy thermosetting resin increases, the amount of epoxy resin pick-up in the fibres is further restricted.
  • the final carbonized product made from such liquid epoxy resin precursor has a very low carbon yield, for example a carbon yield of less than 20 weight percent (wt %).
  • Useful yields are obtained from epoxy-novalac, furan, and phenol formaldehyde resins (>50 %)."
  • the Pruett reference above discloses an epoxy-novolac providing carbon yields of >50 %; but, epoxy-novolac resins suffer from the disadvantage of being very viscous.
  • the viscosity of the epoxy-novolac disclosed in Pruett can be so high (e.g., 30,000 mPa-s at 25 °C) that such epoxy-novolac resin is difficult to process by coating, filming, infusing, spraying, and impregnating.
  • the viscous epoxy-novolac resin requires a solvent to reduce the resin's viscosity to be able to process the resin by the above methods.
  • solvents tend to reduce the effective carbon yield of the resulting product made from the solvent-diluted resin formulation.
  • One embodiment of the present invention is directed to a liquid carbon precursor composition useful as a precursor for producing other carbon materials, wherein the liquid carbon precursor composition includes (a) at least one aromatic epoxy resin; and (b)(i) at least one aromatic co-reactive curing agent, or (b)(ii) at least one catalytic curing agent, or (b)(iii) a mixture thereof; wherein the liquid precursor composition has a neat viscosity of less than 10,000 mPa-s at 25 °C prior to adding optional components, prior to curing, and prior to carbonizing; and wherein the liquid precursor composition being cured has a carbon yield of at least 35 wt % as measured in the absence of optional components.
  • Another embodiment of the present invention is directed to a process for preparing the above liquid carbon precursor composition.
  • Still another embodiment of the present invention is directed to a cured carbon precursor composition including a reaction product of curing a curable liquid formulation comprising: (a) at least one aromatic epoxy resin; and (b)(i) at least one aromatic co-reactive curing agent, (b)(ii) at least one catalytic curing agent, or (b)(iii) a mixture thereof; and (c) at least one porogen; wherein the liquid composition has a neat viscosity of less than 10,000 mPa-s, at 25 °C prior to adding optional components, prior to curing, and prior to carbonizing; and wherein the cured carbon precursor composition has a carbon yield of at least 35 weight percent as measured in the absence of optional components.
  • Yet another embodiment of the present invention is directed to a process for preparing the above cured liquid carbon precursor composition.
  • Still another embodiment of the present invention is directed to a carbonized product prepared by curing and carbonizing the above liquid carbon precursor composition.
  • Yet another embodiment of the present invention is directed to a process for preparing a carbonized product comprising the steps of:
  • (I) admixing (a) at least one aromatic epoxy resin; and (b)(i) at least one aromatic co-reactive curing agent, or (b)(ii) at least one catalytic curing agent, or (b)(iii) a mixture thereof; wherein the liquid precursor composition has a neat viscosity of less than 10,000 mPa-s at 25 °C prior to adding optional components, prior to curing, and prior to carbonizing; and wherein the liquid precursor composition being cured has a carbon yield of at least 35 wt % as measured in the absence of optional components;

  • step (III) carbonizing the cured product from step (II) to form a carbonized composition.
  • a carbonized composition prepared from the above liquid carbon precursor composition of the present invention using the above process may be advantageously useful in various enduse carbonized products containing said carbonized composition such as for example a carbon-carbon composite article or part.
  • the carbonizable liquid carbon precursor composition when producing a carbonized end product for enduses such as described above, exhibits a low neat viscosity that allows the liquid precursor to flow and adequately wet carbon materials (such as carbon fibers or carbon mats) that are used in combination with the liquid precursor in various enduses.
  • the resultant carbonized product upon curing and carbonizing a combination of a liquid carbon precursor composition/carbon material, the resultant carbonized product has a higher carbon density than the starting carbon material; and the carbon density of the resultant carbonized product is sufficiently increased to a level sufficient for its intended enduse.
  • a carbon precursor composition capable of providing certain increased properties to the final carbonized product such as the thermal conductivity and/or the structural strength (such as maximum compressibility) of the carbonized product part would be desirable to the skilled artisan. Also, in some applications it is desirable for the carbon precursor composition to be capable of being disperse efficiently and uniformly throughout another carbon material (such as a bundle of carbon fibers or a carbon fiber mat) such that non-uniformities or inhomogeneities in the final carbonized product is decreased or minimized such that the reliability of the part made from the final carbonized product is increased because of the more consistent volumetric properties.
  • another carbon material such as a bundle of carbon fibers or a carbon fiber mat
  • One objective of the present invention is to provide a rapid low-cost highly efficient process for manufacturing thick high-performance carbon composites in the form of uniformly densified shaped structures having a high carbon yield by impregnating a carbon matrix with a low-viscosity wetting liquid carbon precursor composition which can undergo curing and carbonization to ultimately produce a carbonized matrix.
  • the low viscosity liquid carbon precursor composition of the present invention can wet a variety of carbon materials such as carbon fibers; and the liquid carbon precursor composition can easily impregnate even the smallest pores of a carbon matrix. Once inside the carbon matrix, curing the liquid carbon precursor composition inside the carbon matrix is initiated resulting in a cured precursor which in turn can be carbonized to form a superior matrix.
  • low viscosity liquid carbon precursor composition of the present invention provides unexpected and surprising results that are contrary to the prior art.
  • U.S. Patent No. 6,309,703 in column 4, lines 14-19 teaches the following:
  • the desired reaction is the loss of certain light constituents atoms, such as hydrogen, from polymer repeat units with no cleavage taking place between repeat units at all.
  • certain light constituents atoms such as hydrogen
  • chain ends break off in cyclic fashion (i.e., one after another in rapid succession)
  • pyrolysis yields are much lower in low-molecular-weight polymers than in high-molecular-weight polymers.
  • High-molecular-weight polymers simply have far fewer chain ends to begin with, so there is much less end-breakage and associate gas evolution during pyrolysis. Gas evolution is detrimental because it pushes liquid matrix-precursor out of rigid-preforms before matrix formation by pyrolysis takes place and reduces the pyrolysis yield.”
  • a liquid carbon precursor composition exhibiting a low neat viscosity is provided.
  • the low viscosity liquid precursor prior to being cured and carbonized, is capable of flowing and adequately wetting carbon materials (such as carbon fibers or carbon mats); while at the same time, upon being cured and carbonized, is capable of producing a high carbon yield (e.g. a carbon yield of at least 35 wt % and greater) contrary to the prior art.
  • Figure 1 is a graphical illustration showing the evolution of weight versus temperature of the cured formulation of the present invention compared to cured formulations of the prior art.
  • Figure 2 is a photograph of a liquid droplet of a liquid carbon precursor composition of the present invention.

  • Carbon yield with reference to a cured composition herein means the percent weight remaining from a cured sample of a composition treated at 10 °C/minute from 25 °C to 1,000 °C under an inert atmosphere such as nitrogen as measured in the absence of optional components.
