Definitions
- the present invention relates to a process for manufacturing a fibrous material pre-impregnated with a thermoplastic polymer in a fluidized bed.
- the invention relates to a process for manufacturing a prepreg fibrous material comprising a step of prepreg of a non-sized or slightly sized fibrous material for the preparation of an impregnated fibrous material, in particular to core, of reduced and controlled porosity, with a view to obtaining ribbons of impregnated fibrous material, of calibrated dimensions, directly usable for the manufacture of three-dimensional composite parts.
- fibrous material means an assembly of reinforcing fibers. Before its pre-impregnation and its shaping, it is in the form of wicks.
- strip is used to denote strips of fibrous material whose width is greater than or equal to 400mm.
- ribbon is used to designate ribbons of calibrated width and less than or equal to 400mm.
- wick is also used to refer to the fibrous material.
- Such prepreg fibrous materials are especially intended for the production of light composite materials for the manufacture of mechanical parts having a three-dimensional structure and having good mechanical and thermal properties.
- these fibrous materials are capable of removing electrostatic charges. They therefore have properties compatible with the manufacture of parts, particularly in the fields of mechanics, civil or military aeronautics, and nautical, automotive, oil and gas, in particular offshore, storage of gas, energy, health and medical, military and armaments, sports and leisure, and electronics.
- the use of non-sized fibers is a necessity for aeronautics and offshore.
- thermosetting or thermoplastic resin type thermosetting or thermoplastic resin type
- the sizes are often degraded by the processes of impregnation, in particular during the pre-impregnation stages (molten route, passage into a solvent solution, etc.) and / or during the stages of melting the thermoplastic matrix, in particular when it has a high melting point (for a semi -crystalline or a high Tg (for an amorphous or thermosetting) .
- the chemical compatibility between the polymer of the matrix and the size is not always optimal; the resulting grip strength can be modified in positive as negative compared to that observed with a non-sized fiber.
- international application WO20181 15736 describes a process for pre-impregnating a fibrous material in a fluidized bed, the powder level of which depends on the residence time in the fluid bed and the tension on the wick (s) is controlled using a creel present before the tank comprising the fluidized bed.
- the use of at least one fixture (in particular a cylindrical roller of convex, concave or cylindrical shape) in the fluidized bed makes it possible to improve the prepreg compared to the methods of the prior art and the fibrous material used can be sized or not sized.
- rollers used are smooth or grooved (or notched).
- the article by Gibson A. et al. describes a step of pre-impregnation in a fluidized bed of a fibrous material with a thermoplastic polymer comprising smooth rollers in the fluidized bed with control of the fiber content by means a vibrating system placed at the tank outlet.
- the invention therefore aims to remedy the drawbacks of the prior art.

- the invention also relates to a unidirectional ribbon of impregnated fibrous material, in particular ribbon wound on a reel, characterized in that it is obtained by a process as defined above.
- the invention further relates to a use of the ribbon as defined above in the manufacture of three-dimensional parts.
- Said manufacture of said composite parts relates to the fields of transport, in particular automobile, oil and gas, in particular offshore, gas storage, civil or military aeronautics, nautical, rail; renewable energies, in particular wind, tidal, energy storage devices, solar panels; thermal protection panels; sports and recreation, health and medical, security and electronics.
- the invention also relates to a three-dimensional composite part, characterized in that it results from the use of at least one unidirectional ribbon of impregnated fibrous material as defined above.
- the subject of the invention is a process for manufacturing a prepreg fibrous material comprising a fibrous material made of continuous fibers and at least one thermoplastic polymer matrix, characterized in that said prepreg fibrous material is produced in a single unidirectional ribbon or in a plurality of parallel unidirectional ribbons and in that said method comprises a step of prepregnation, in particular homogeneous, of said fibrous material in the form of a wick (81 a) or of several parallel wicks by said at least a thermoplastic polymer matrix in the form of a powder, said pre-impregnation step being carried out by the dry process in a tank (20) comprising a fluidized bed (22) comprising at least one engorged loading part (82),
- said wick (81 a) or said wicks being in contact with part or all of the surface of said at least one siphoned fitting piece (82) and said wick (81 a) or said wicks comprising up to 0, 1% by weight of size,
- thermoplastic polymer matrix in said fibrous material being carried out by controlling the residence time of said fibrous material in the powder and by constant control of the tension of said wick (81a) or said wicks when it (s) penetrate (s) into the fluidized bed.
- the process of the invention is to the exclusion of any electrostatic process under voluntary charge.
- the term “sizing” designates the surface treatments applied to fibrous materials during their manufacture. It can also designate a fleeting pretreatment as a preamble to the pre-impregnation step, whether it is done directly in line with the impregnation or not. It can also designate a fleeting pretreatment as a preamble to the pre-impregnation step, whether it is done directly in line with the impregnation or not.
- thermosetting or thermoplastic resin type are generally organic in nature (thermosetting or thermoplastic resin type) and very often formulated for the prepreg of the reinforcing fibers with polymers with a low melting point Tf or thermosetting with a low point Tg.
- Said fibrous material can therefore comprise up to 0.1% by weight of a material of an organic nature (such as thermosetting or thermoplastic resin) called size.
- a material of an organic nature such as thermosetting or thermoplastic resin
- the size can be an organic liquid such as water, a low or high alcohol molecular weight (ethanol, methanol, isopropanol for example), a ketone (acetone etc ...) which will play the role of fleeting size; that is to say that it will be present a short time in contact with the fiber to allow its manipulation in the “dry” state (ie before the prepreg) and that it will then be extracted from the composite material so as not to disturb the final characteristics of the composite.
- a low or high alcohol molecular weight ethanol, methanol, isopropanol for example
- a ketone acetone etc
- said wick (81 a) or said wicks is (are) not sized, in particular in the case of an amorphous thermoplastic resin having a high Tg or of a semi-crystalline resin with high melting point: in these cases l he size degrades when subjected to the high temperature of the transformation processes imposed by the nature of these resins.
- said wick (81 a) or said wicks is (are) either substantially devoid of sizing because the fibrous material has been de-sized beforehand or is devoid of sizing because the original fibrous material is not sized.
- the mean diameter D50 by volume of the particles of thermoplastic polymer powder is from 30 to 300 ⁇ m, in particular from 50 to 200 ⁇ m, more particularly from 70 to 200 ⁇ m.
- the expression "residence time in the powder” means the time during which the wick is in contact with said powder in the fluidized bed.
- the inventors unexpectedly found that when a non-sized fibrous material is used for the prepreg step in a fluidized bed, the control of the residence time in the powder was no longer sufficient to prepreg the fibrous material. by the thermoplastic polymer matrix, in particular in a homogeneous manner with a powder rate (resin) well controlled and that the pre-impregnation step required the presence of one or more roll (s) filled in the fluidized bed with simultaneous control the tension of said fibrous material at the inlet of the fluidized bed.
- Te critical tension
- a tension Te ’beyond which impregnation becomes impossible because the tension then blocks the development of the wick in the fluidized bed.
- Te is ⁇ to Te ’.
- Tmin is the voltage below which the twists appear.
- the tension T of said wick (81 a) or of said wicks when it (s) enters the fluidized bed is less than Te.
- the tension T of said wick (81 a) or of said wicks when it (s) enters the fluidized bed is greater than Tmin.
- the tension T of said wick (81 a) or said wicks when it (s) penetrates (s) in the fluidized bed is less than Te and greater than Tmin.
- the fibrous material after passage through the fluidized bed is called prepreg fibrous material and after heating and / or calendering, it is called impregnated fibrous material.
- the fiber content and porosity measurements are carried out on the impregnated fibrous material, and therefore after heating and / or calendering.
- homogeneous means that the prepreg is uniform and that there are no dry fibers on the surface of the prepreg fibrous material.
- thermoplastic or “thermoplastic polymer” is understood to mean a material which is generally solid at room temperature, which can be semi-crystalline or amorphous, and which softens during a temperature increase, in particular after passing its glass transition temperature (Tg). and flows at a higher temperature when it is amorphous, or which may exhibit a frank melting on passing its so-called melting temperature (Tf) when it is semi-crystalline, and which becomes solid again when the temperature decreases below its crystallization temperature (for a semi-crystalline) and below its glass transition temperature (for an amorphous).
- Tg glass transition temperature

This width can advantageously be measured by different methods, even on rollers completely immersed in the powder, such as with pressure sensors, position sensors (LVDT type) on a smooth roller and then be transposed to the use of a grooved roller whose groove width will be less than the minimum value recorded using the sensors.
- the choice of the tension and throat width couple will be optimum when the tension will be minimum and the wicking of the wick will be good, however beyond 100g, preferably beyond 200g, at the outlet of the creel, so as to avoid training and / or passing twists.
- the inventors have unexpectedly found that when a non-sized fibrous material is used for the prepreg step in a fluidized bed, the control of time of stay in the powder was no longer sufficient to impregnate the fibrous material with the thermoplastic polymer matrix, in particular at the core and in a homogeneous manner with a rate of powder (resin) well controlled and that the pre-impregnation step required the presence of one or more grooved fixtures, in particular one or more roller (s) engorged in the fluidized bed with simultaneous control of the tension of said fibrous material at the inlet of the fluidized bed.

- Such a covering not only makes it possible to complete the step of prepregnating the fibers in order to obtain a final volume rate of polymer in the desired range and to avoid the presence on the surface of the prepreg wick, of a rate of fibers locally. too large, which would harm the welding of the tapes during the manufacture of the composite part, in particular for obtaining so-called “ready-to-use” fibrous materials of good quality, but also for improving the performance of the composite material obtained.

- the rate of polymer matrix impregnating the fibrous material is too high and the mechanical properties of the impregnated fibrous material will be poor.
- the tank used in the process of the invention comprises a fluidized bed and said pre-impregnation step is carried out with simultaneous development of said wick or said wicks between the inlet and the outlet of said tank.
- outlet of said tank corresponds to the vertical tangent of the edge of the tank which comprises the fluidized bed.
- the distance between the inlet and the outlet therefore corresponds to the diameter in the case of the cylinder, to the side in the case of a cube or to the width or length in the case of a rectangular parallelepiped.
- the flourishing consists in singling out as much as possible each filament constituting said wick of the other filaments which surround it in its closest space. It corresponds to the transverse spread of the wick.
- the transverse spread or the width of the wick increases between the inlet of the fluidized bed (or of the tank comprising the fluidized bed) and the outlet of the fluidized bed (or of the tank comprising the fluidized bed) and thus allows a homogeneous prepreg of the fibrous material.
- the fluidized bed can be opened or closed, in particular it is open.
- the fluidized bed comprises at least one fitting piece, said wick or said wicks being in contact with part or all of the surface of said at least one fitting piece.

- said fitting piece is perpendicular to the direction of said wick or said wicks.
- said development of said wick or said wicks is carried out at least at the level of said at least one fitting piece.

- said at least one fitting piece is a grooved cylindrical roller of convex, concave or cylindrical shape.
- the convex shape is favorable to blooming while the concave shape is unfavorable to blooming although it is done nevertheless.
- grooved cylindrical roller means that the scrolling wick is supported partially or completely on the surface of said grooved cylindrical roller, which induces the blooming of said wick.

- the blooming percentage is defined as (Lf-Li) / Li * 100, where Li and Lf are the widths before and after blooming.
- the development depends on the fibrous material used. For example, the flourishing of a carbon fiber material is much more important than that of a flax fiber.
- Flourishing is also a function of the number of fibers or filaments in the wick, their average diameter and their cohesion.
- the diameter of said at least one grooved cylindrical roller is from 3 mm to 500 mm, preferably from 10 mm to 100 mm, in particular from 20 mm to 60 mm. Below 3 mm, the deformation of the fiber induced by the grooved cylindrical roller is too great.

- a single grooved cylindrical roller is present in the fluidized bed and said impregnation is carried out at the angle formed by said wick or said wicks between the inlet of said grooved cylindrical roller and the vertical tangent to said grooved cylindrical roller.
- the angle formed by said wick or said wicks between the inlet of said grooved cylindrical roller and the vertical tangent to said grooved cylindrical roller allows the formation of an area in which the powder will concentrate thus leading to a "wedge effect" which with the simultaneous development of the wick by said grooved cylindrical roller allows a prepreg on a larger width of wick and therefore an improved prepreg compared to the techniques of the improved prior art.
- the coupling with the controlled residence time then allows a homogeneous prepreg.
- the angle is included from 0 to 89 °, preferably 5 ° to 85 °, preferably from 5 ° to 45 °, preferably from 5 ° to 30 °.
- an angle of 0 to 5 ° is likely to generate risks of mechanical stress, which will lead to breakage of the fibers and an angle of 85 to 89 ° does not create enough mechanical effort to create the "corner effect".
- a value of the angle equal to 0 ° therefore corresponds to a vertical fiber. It is obvious that the height of the cylindrical grooved cylindrical roller is adjustable, thus making it possible to position the fiber vertically.
- the edge of the tank (83a) is equipped with a roller, in particular cylindrical and rotary, on which said strand or said strands pass, thereby leading to prior blooming.
