The surface modifying method of carbon nano-tube fibre
Technical field
The present invention relates to the preparation of carbon nano-tube fibre, relate in particular to a kind of method of carbon nano-tube fibre being carried out surface modification treatment.
Background technology
Scientific research finds that single-root carbon nano-tube has high intensity and elasticity, and its Young's modulus can reach 1.3TPa, and tensile strength can be up to 150GPa, and at high temperature has super deformability and self-reparing capability of moulding.In addition, carbon nanotube also have great length-to-diameter ratio (greater than 1000), extremely light density (less than steel 1/6), can synthetic electrical properties and some essential propertys of graphite material inherent as: high and low temperature resistance is good, erosion resistance surpasses gold, thermal expansivity is little etc., becomes develop at present the lightest, the strongest, nano-fiber material that function is maximum.
When the carbon nanotube with nanoscale is assembled into carbon nano-tube fibre under the macro-scale, some character of material as: the transfer behavior of carrying capacity, electric charge etc. will be inferior to the behavior of single-root carbon nano-tube.This is because the performance of carbon nano-tube fibre, also will depend on interaction between the arranging density of carbon nanotube in fiber, orientation degree, the tube and tube and mode of connection etc. largely except relevant with the textural property of carbon nanotube itself.At present, the preparation method of carbon nano-tube fibre mainly contains: 1) under the effect in external force or outfield, carbon nanotube is scattered in spinning forms in the macromolecule medium; 2) the carbon pipe is dissolved in super acids solution,, reels off raw silk from cocoons into fiber at last in highly concentrated solution because of its protonated must orientation in surface reaches liquid crystal state; 3) direct spinning in the gas phase building-up process: promptly,, can obtain carbon nano-tube film at the tube furnace the other end continuously, make carbon pipe orientation, fine and close film or the fiber of obtaining by tractive as alcohol, ester, ether etc. by ceaselessly adding catalyzer and carbon source; 4) classifying the presoma spinning as with height-oriented carbon nano-pipe array forms.Above-mentioned method 3) and 4) be based on dry technique and prepare the pure nano-carbon tube filamentary material, can avoid the carbon pipe to disperse and the technological difficulties of orientation, and become two kinds of methods quite being paid close attention to.
At present, can realize that the dry-spinning technology is also few in number, more in the mechanical property of paying close attention to carbon nano-tube fibre.Studies show that, by improving the quality of carbon nanotube, prolong the length of carbon nanotube itself, improve the orientation degree of carbon pipe, the ratio tensile strength of carbon nano-tube fibre and specific Young's modulus can obviously be better than existing high-performance engineering carbon fibre material, even exceed about 10 times than optimum carbon fiber T1000.
Carbon nano-tube fibre also can have other function concurrently except having excellent mechanical property.Because carbon nano-tube fibre is made up of a large amount of carbon nanotubes, has big specific surface area and high surface reaction ability; Therefore,, make carbon nano-tube fibre have high-modulus, high-intensity while, also can have functions such as conduction, heat conduction, radioprotective, temperature sensor and humidity, will become a kind of ideal multifunctional nano filamentary material by surface modification and reaction treatment.

Carry out spinning with carbon nano pipe array as raw material, the carbon nanotube favorable orientation can be prepared high-quality carbon nano-tube fibre by the spinning winding.The present invention introduced organic solution or inorganic solution before spinning, optimize the growth quality of carbon nanotube, by bonding mode covalently or non-covalently carbon nanotube in the spinning or Cheng Sihou carbon nano-tube fibre are carried out surface treatment, improve carbon nano-tube fibre intensity on the one hand, under the condition that does not reduce fibre strength, make the carbon nano-tube fibre multifunction on the other hand.Combination by the multiple function of fiber itself or compound with other functional molecular are realized the intellectuality of carbon nano-tube fibre.Following three kinds of modification processing modes are specifically arranged:
1) wet-spinning, promptly in spinning process with carbon nano-tube film or fiber through containing small molecules or macromolecular solution, be dispersed in these functional moleculars in the carbon nano-tube fibre or on the surface in the mode of absorption.As shown in Figure 1: before spinning, on the banded carbon nano pipe array 1 that wire drawing is come out, drip organic solution or inorganic solution by dropper 3, drop preferably is positioned at the position that fried dough twist has just appearred in carbon nano-tube film, carbon nanotube is soaked into fully and bears enough pulling force; After solution is removed, obtain carbon nano tube composite fibre 2 in later stage drying or evaporative process.Utilizing this method can directly introduce target modification molecule has: polymkeric substance, bioprotein etc., or introduce some molecule such as some dye molecules or dna molecular etc. and make the carbon nano-tube fibre functionalisation of surfaces, create the basis for follow-up bonding reaction.As the carbon nanotube of dna modification, it is immersed HAuCl
4Or AgClO
4, obtain layer of even Au or Ag nanoparticle at the carbon tube-surface, it is inserted the aqueous isopropanol of butyl (tetra) titanate, and hydrolysis, obtain TiO
2The coating of nanoparticle.
2) surperficial spraying method: soon small molecules solution or polymers soln are introduced in the spinning process of carbon nanotube in the mode of spraying carbon nano-tube fibre are carried out surface modification.As shown in Figure 2, be painted on the banded carbon nano pipe array 1 that wire drawing comes out by shower nozzle 4 organic solutions or inorganic solution, the dry back of removing of solution evaporation obtains carbon nano tube composite fibre 2.In addition, the banded carbon nano pipe array 1 that also wire drawing can be come out is through the steam condition system of organic solution or the steam fog state system of organic solution, the banded carbon nano pipe array that perhaps wire drawing come out 1 is through the steam condition system of inorganic solution or the steam fog state system of inorganic solution, is spun to carbon nano-tube fibre 2 in the steam condition system of solution or steam fog state system.Because in spinning process, carbon nanotube constantly is pulled and overturns, thereby obtains uniform coating.This method is used for the direct spraying of oxidation, polymkeric substance and the nanoparticle on carbon nano-tube fibre surface.

Promptly by surface spraying or wet-spinning or electrochemical deposition, with organic functions small molecules, inorganic molecule or biomacromolecule covalently or non-covalently method be incorporated in the carbon nano-tube fibre, except in order to improve the carbon nano-tube fibre mechanical property, also make its multifunction: the capillary force that forms when 1. utilizing solution evaporation makes the further densification of carbon pipe and improves orientation degree; 2. in carbon nano-tube fibre, introduce some small molecules such as amine molecule, polymer molecule such as polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), Resins, epoxy (epoxy) etc., change carbon tube-surface character, the sliding resistance that increases between the carbon pipe improves fibrous mechanical property; 3. introduce metal nanoparticle,, make fiber have magnetic or shape memory effect when improving the carbon nano-tube fibre conductive capability as nanoparticles such as Au, Ag, Fe, Ni, Ti; 4. introduce oxide compound such as TiO
2Nanoparticle or quantum dot have photochemical catalysis, photoelectricity transformation function; But 5. introduce induced polymer or conducting polymer; As polyacrylic acid hydrogel pH susceptibility is arranged, polydiacetylene has response to temperature, has piezoelectric properties etc. as polypyrrole; 6. introduce biomacromolecule such as enzyme or antibody molecule, organism or environment are optionally detected and monitor.
