摘要:

作为一种天然高分子材料,植物纤维来源丰富,成本低廉,密度小,比强度、比模量高,被认为是最具前景的生物可降解再生资源,其增强复合材料利用价值高、环保无污染,既可显著减少化石燃料的使用,也可降低温室气体排放量,具有巨大的市场价值和发展前景,如何高效利用植物纤维资源、开发高附加值实用产品、拓宽应用领域已成为科研界和工业界的研究焦点。在汽车轻量化趋势下,以植物纤维替代玻璃纤维等增强复合材料,不仅能降低生产成本、减少加工能耗,还有利于汽车零部件产品绿色循环低碳生命体系的构建,从而有效推动汽车工业的可持续发展。预浸料作为先进复合材料产品的中间体,对汽车轻量化的发展具有举足轻重的作用。本研究从植物纤维/热塑性聚合物预浸料着手,概述对其研究的必要性,并介绍增强相连续植物纤维的制备技术以及连续植物纤维/热塑性聚合物预浸料常用制备技术的优缺点和关键技术难点,重点从熔融浸渍、挤出-压延、薄膜层叠、熔融沉积成型等方面阐述连续植物纤维/热塑性聚合物预浸料的新兴制备技术,同时总结植物纤维/热塑性聚合物复合材料在汽车轻量化领域的应用,对比分析汽车传统门饰板和保险杠与薄壁化门饰板和保险杠的质量和生产成本,以期为连续植物纤维/热塑性聚合物预浸料在汽车轻量化领域占据一席之地提供理论支撑。最后,对连续植物纤维/热塑性聚合物预浸料的研究趋势进行几点展望,指出在以后研究工作中,可重点研究连续植物纤维的制备技术和均匀分散,有助于更薄预浸料的开发,从而消除纤维屈曲,提高结构可设计性,进一步降低制品成本;为实现低孔隙率、质量上乘、性能优异的连续植物纤维/热塑性聚合物预浸料的稳定生产,可有效联用现有制备技术,扬长避短,还可理论实践相结合进一步研制新的制造设备,改进生产工艺,实现材料、设备和工艺的一体化发展;同时,为促进连续植物纤维/热塑性聚合物预浸料的良性发展,有必要加快建立标准化评价体系以规范市场。

Abstract:

Plant fibers as a macro material have the advantages of being a low cost abundant natural resource with a low density, high specific strength and high specific modulus, which is considered as the biodegradable renewable resource with the most promising research prospects. Plant fiber reinforced composite has a high use value and environmental protection without pollution, which not only significantly reduces the use of fossil fuels, but also reduces the greenhouse gas emissions, leading to huge market value and development prospects. Therefore, how to efficiently utilize the plant fiber resource, develop high-added value practical products and broaden the application fields have become key focuses of research and industry. Under the trend of automobile lightweight, substituting plant fiber for glass fiber and other reinforced composite materials will not only reduce the production cost and processing energy consumption, but also facilitate the construction of green, circular and low-carbon life system for auto parts products, effectively promoting the sustainable development of automobile industry. Prepreg, as an intermediate of advanced composite products, plays an important role in the development of automotive lightweight. Thus this study provides a brief overview of necessity of the continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic polymer research; the preparation technology of continuous plant fiber as well as the continuous fiber/thermoplastic polymer prepregs commonly used in regards to the advantages, disadvantages and key technical problems. This review will expound upon the emerging technology of continuous plant fiber/thermoplastic polymer prepreg such as melt impregnation, extrusion-rolling, film stacking technique and fused deposition modeling. This paper also summarizes the application of continuous plant fiber/thermoplastic polymer composite materials used in automotive lightweight field, and analyzes the quality and production cost of automobile traditional and thin-walled door trim, as well as traditional and thin-walled bumper, in order to provide theoretical support for continuous plant fiber/thermoplastic prepreg for using in lightweight vehicles components. Finally, the research trend of continuous plant fiber/thermoplastic polymer prepreg is prospected. The future work will be focused on the preparation technology and evenly dispersed of continuous plant fiber, helping development of thinner prepreg, which thereby eliminates fiber buckling, improves the structure design, and further reduces the product cost. In order to achieve the stable production of continuous plant fiber/thermoplastic prepreg with lower porosity, improved quality and excellent performances, the existing preparation technology can be effectively combined so as to foster the strengths and circumvent the weaknesses, but also by combining the theory and practice further to develop the new manufacturing equipment and improve the production technology, so that the integrated development of material, equipment and process technology is expected to happen. At the same time, in order to promote the benign development of continuous plant fiber/thermoplastic prepreg, it is necessary to speed up the establishment of standardized evaluation system to regulate the market.
