Preparation method of high-wear-resistance and high-toughness graphene nanosheet/epoxy resin composite material
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of polymer composite materials, and particularly relates to a preparation method of a graphene nanosheet/epoxy resin composite material with high wear resistance and high toughness.
Background
Due to good comprehensive performance, the epoxy resin is widely applied to the fields of electronic packaging, building construction, aerospace and the like. However, the epoxy resin still has some disadvantages in use, such as insufficient mechanical strength, toughness, wear resistance, heat conductivity, etc., which limits its application in various fields. Therefore, the reinforced modification of the epoxy resin is of great significance.
Graphene is considered to be a good filler for improving mechanical properties, wear resistance, flame retardance, heat conduction and electric conduction of high polymer materials due to a two-dimensional nano-layered structure and excellent comprehensive properties (Kim, et al macromolecules 2010,43, 6515-166530; Papageorgiouo, et al prog, Mater, Sci.2017,90, 75-127; Liang, et al, J.Mater, chem.C 2019,7, 2725-2733; Liushu, Sunju, and the like. However, the application of graphene in polymer modification still has a bottleneck to be solved urgently. On one hand, graphene sheets have strong van der waals force between layers, and are difficult to peel off in a high-molecular matrix by using a traditional dispersion method, and are dispersed in a form of single sheets and easy to agglomerate, so that the modification effect of the graphene sheets is reduced. For better dispersion effect, organic solvent is often adopted for dilution and dispersion (Yan red strong, Fangzhui, etc. a preparation method of graphene nanoplatelets/epoxy resin nanocomposite, CN 103396653A; Songhe river, Marmokun, etc. a preparation method of graphene epoxy resin composite, CN 103408895A). However, the introduction of organic solvent not only makes the preparation process complicated and increases energy consumption, but also pollutes environment. Secondly, due to the relative chemical inertness of the surface structure of graphene, the interaction force between graphene and macromolecules is weak, and the modification efficiency of graphene in the aspects of macromolecule mechanical property and heat conduction and electricity conduction is influenced. Therefore, before the graphene modified polymer material is used, the graphene is generally subjected to surface modification treatment (Toulongcheng, Wanyanjun, and the like, a preparation method of a functionalized graphene oxide/epoxy resin composite material, CN103627139AA, Rankine lacquer, Zhaoyuan, and the like, a thermal interface material of surface modified graphene-carbon nitride-epoxy resin and a preparation method thereof, CN 109337291A). However, the chemical surface modification process of graphene is complicated, the operation is complex, the industrial production is difficult, and a strong oxidant and an organic solvent are often used, so that the environment is polluted. Meanwhile, surface chemical modification can destroy the graphitized structure of graphene, so that excellent performances of graphene in the aspects of mechanics, heat conduction and electric conduction are reduced, while a modifier in a physical non-covalent bond modification method is high in cost, and the performance of epoxy resin is reduced by adding the modifier. Therefore, the good graphene dispersing agent and surface modifier are found to have great value for the application of graphene in the modification of high polymer materials.
Sundao 38495and the like utilize a block copolymer, i.e., isobutylene-b-propylene ethanol-b-isobutylene, as a dispersant to achieve good dispersion of graphene in an oily solvent (sundao 38495, litdan, a slurry and a preparation method and application thereof, CN 110484020A). Limeitai and the like adopt a polyether-polystyrene and other block copolymers as a dispersing agent to prepare a graphene solution (limeitai, sunzurchi, and the like, the block copolymers and a method for preparing graphene by using the block copolymers, CN107182213B) with good dispersion. The block copolymer has obvious toughening effect on epoxy resin (Huang Yajiang, Tang Dynasty, and the like, a reinforcing toughening agent, a toughened epoxy resin composite material and a preparation method thereof, CN107459612B, and amphiphilic block copolymer and inorganic nano filler for reinforcing the performance of thermosetting polymer, CN 101772546B).
