The method of the spontaneous carbon nanotube of a kind of silicon-carbide particle surface in situ
Technical field
The present invention relates to matrix material and preparing technical field thereof, particularly matrix material situ is prepared homodisperse carbon nanotube as the field of wild phase from generation method.
Background technology
Since carbon nanotube in 1991 is found by Iijima, due to its novel structure and distinctive mechanics, electricity and physicochemical property and potential purposes thereof, caused the very big concern of domestic and international chemistry, physics, material, electronics educational circles.Especially the mechanical property of carbon nanotube and excellence thereof: its average Young's modulus reaches 1.8TPa, be about 100 times of steel, flexural strength can reach 14.2GPa, the strain energy of depositing reaches 100keV, demonstrate superpower mechanical property, and its density is low, the density of Single Walled Carbon Nanotube is 1.2~1.3g/cm3 approximately, multi-walled carbon nano-tubes density is only also 1.7g/cm3, is only 1/6 of steel, is almost current specific tenacity and the highest material of specific rigidity.Therefore, if it is made Reinforcements for Metal Matrix Composites and not only can improve intensity, also can further reduce density of material.
But due to the nanoscale effect of carbon nanotube, when as wild phase, easily reunite, in matrix, disperse inequality, do not have the effect of wild phase; Present stage, the methods that adopt were that high-energy ball milling method is that carbon nanotube scatter uniformly in matrix more, but this method is due to the inevitable damage of having shone into carbon nanotube structure of high energy of ball milling, last performance is impacted, and the volume fraction that can make even carbon nanotube disperse is very limited.And searching document is found, in the production method of carbon nanotube, chemical gaseous phase depositing process is simple, and operability is large, but need to carry out separation to the carrier of last Formed nanotube, obtains pure carbon nanotube.
Silicon carbide also has excellent over-all properties due to it, is widely used now, as the wild phase of metal-base composites; And if application silicon carbide is as the carrier of chemical vapor deposition for carbon nanotubes, not only can save the step of carrier separation, and can make silicon carbide and carbon nanotube simultaneously as the wild phase of metallic matrix, strengthening effect may be better.
Existing document and invention retrieval are found in document, also there is no the report of this respect; And Chinese patent (CN102504760A) " preparation method of a kind of silicon carbide and carbon nano tube composite wave-absorbing material ", mainly by pickling process, at silicon carbide, prepare metal-silicon carbide mixture, then evaporate to dryness is directly put into silica tube and is passed into methane, and heating and heat preservation obtains silicon carbide and carbon nano tube composite wave-absorbing material; Chinese patent (CN102962087A) " a kind of carbon nanotube/foam silicon carbon catalytic composite materials and preparation method thereof " is mainly as carrier with foam silicon carbon, Fe-Mg-Al, as composite catalyst, adopts the method for chemical vapor deposition for carbon nanotubes.These two patents have all been prepared carbon nanotube, but in these two patents, main utilization is suction ripple and the catalytic performance of carbon nanotube, and there are many deficiencies: the metal-silicon carbide mixture that (1) adopts pickling process to prepare, metallic particles size and distribution are all inhomogeneous, can not play well catalytic performance; (2) in chemical vapour deposition deposition, do not adopt carrier gas to be easy to produce indefiniteness carbon, the performance of material is shone into impact; (3) adopt Fe-Mg-Al composite catalyst to have bad impact to the last performance of matrix material.
