Description

【0001】
【産業上の利用分野】
本発明は、カーボンハニカム構造体の製造法に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
ハニカム構造体は、中空柱状のセルの平面的集合体よりなり、耐熱性のハニカム構造体は、航空機用のエンジン周り等、高温部位のサンドイッチパネル、航空機・宇宙機器等の圧力加熱を受ける構造部材、その他において用いられ、260℃程度の環境・常用温度において経時的な耐熱強度を有するものである。従来、軽量で高い機械的強度を有する重量比強度に優れたハニカム構造体の基材としては、アルミニウム箔、クラフト紙等が使用されているが、耐熱性を有するものとしては、ステンレス、チタン等の金属箔をハニカム状とし、ロウ付け加工を施したもの、ガラス繊維、炭素繊維等を基材とし、これにレゾールフェノール樹脂等の耐熱性樹脂を付着せしめたもの(繊維強化樹脂ハニカム構造体)、耐熱性芳香族ポリアミド合成紙を基材とし、これにレゾールフェノール樹脂等の耐熱性樹脂を付着せしめたもの、等が開発されている。
【0003】
このうち繊維強化樹脂ハニカム構造体は、比強度、比剛性に優れているため、従来、航空機部品として使用されてきている。これをさらに航空機エンジン用部品として使用する場合は、高温度域(120〜150℃)での機械的強度に優れ、且つ2次及び3次曲面への加熱成形性に優れていることが要求される。従来は高温度域での機械的強度と、加熱成形性という2つの要求を満足させるために、250℃以上のガラス転移点を有し(従って、250℃以上で樹脂が柔らかくなり容易に成形ができる)、且つガラス転移点より100℃低い温度では、加熱による機械的性能の劣化がないという特性を持つ熱可塑性樹脂が使用されてきた。しかし、この熱可塑性樹脂は通常は固体であり、適当な溶媒がないため、これを使用してハニカム構造体を製造する際には、樹脂を350℃以上の温度まで加熱して液状にすることが必要となる。このため、特殊な製造設備が必要となり、効率も悪く、コスト高となる。また、熱可塑性樹脂そのものも高価である。
【0004】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
従って、本発明の目的は、高温度域(120〜150℃)での機械的強度に優れ、且つ曲面への加熱成形性に優れたハニカム構造体を、安価に製造する方法を提供することである。
【0005】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明は、ポリアミドイミド樹脂プレポリマーを含浸した炭素繊維基布をコルゲート成形し、成形と同時又は成形後、架橋硬化させた波板シートと、ポリアミドイミド樹脂プレポリマーを含浸した炭素繊維基布からなる平板シートとを、接着剤を介して交互に多数枚積層し、加圧加熱して樹脂を架橋硬化させて積層体を形成し、この積層体にポリアミドイミド樹脂プレポリマーを含浸し、架橋硬化させることを特徴とするカーボンハニカム構造体の製造法である。

以下、本発明を詳細に説明する。
本発明において使用される炭素繊維基布は、例えば、ポリアクリロニトリル系炭素繊維で造られた織布、編布、不織布等であり、例えば、1K〜12K (50 g/m〜600g/m)、好ましくは3K、200g/m平織の炭素繊維織布が挙げられる。厚みは通常、 0.1〜0.5 mm程度、幅は 250〜350 mm程度が適当である。
この炭素繊維基布にポリアミドイミド樹脂プレポリマーを含浸する。含浸量は固形分で20〜80重量%、好ましくは50重量%が適当である。ポリアミドイミド樹脂プレポリマーは、例えば、下記式(1) で表されるものが好ましい。

このポリアミドイミド樹脂プレポリマーを含浸した炭素繊維基布を、波形ロールを用いてコルゲート成形する。波形の波の高さ及び幅は2〜3mm、波のピッチは8〜9mmが適当である。ポリアミドイミド樹脂プレポリマーを含浸した炭素繊維基布(平板)を、0.1 〜10kgf/cm、好ましくは5.0kgf/cmの圧力をかけながら、樹脂の粘着性を利用して、コルゲートラックに張り付かせる。次いで同型のラックを、基布の上面にかぶせ、温度 150〜450 ℃、好ましくは 250〜300 ℃、圧力 0.1〜20kgf/cm、好ましくは6.0kgf/cmで、 0.5〜24時間、好ましくは 6時間、加熱加圧して樹脂を架橋硬化させ、コルゲートシートを製造する。

Conventionally, in order to satisfy the two requirements of mechanical strength in a high temperature range and heat moldability, it has a glass transition point of 250 ° C or more (therefore, the resin becomes soft at 250 ° C or more and molding is easy. At a temperature 100 ° C. lower than the glass transition point, a thermoplastic resin has been used which has the property of not deteriorating mechanical performance due to heating. However, since this thermoplastic resin is usually a solid and there is no suitable solvent, when manufacturing a honeycomb structure using the thermoplastic resin, it is necessary to heat the resin to a temperature of 350 ° C. or more to make it liquid. Is required. For this reason, special manufacturing equipment is required, the efficiency is low, and the cost is high. Also, the thermoplastic resin itself is expensive.
