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 prepares the field of homodisperse carbon nanotube as wild phase from generation method.
Background technology
Since carbon nanotube in 1991 is found by Iijima, due to the structure of its novelty and distinctive mechanics, electricity and physicochemical property and potential purposes thereof, cause 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, strain energy of depositing reaches 100keV, demonstrate superpower mechanical property, and its density is low, the density about 1.2 ~ 1.3g/cm3 of Single Walled Carbon Nanotube, multi-walled carbon nano-tubes density is also only 1.7g/cm3, is only 1/6 of steel, is almost the material that current specific tenacity and specific rigidity are the highest.If therefore it is made Reinforcements for Metal Matrix Composites and not only can improve intensity, also density of material can be reduced further.
But due to the nanoscale effect of carbon nanotube, easily reuniting as during wild phase, disperseing inequality in the base, not having the effect of wild phase; The method of present stage many employings is high-energy ball milling method is that carbon nanotube scatter in the base uniformly, but this method is because the high energy of ball milling is inevitably according to the damage becoming carbon nanotube structure, last performance is impacted, and the volume fraction that even carbon nanotube can be made to disperse is very limited.And searching document finds, in the production method of carbon nanotube, chemical gaseous phase depositing process is simple, and operability is large, but needs to be separated 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 that carrier is separated, and silicon carbide and carbon nanotube can be made simultaneously as the wild phase of metallic matrix, strengthening effect may be better.
Existing document and invention retrieval are found also do not have the report of this respect in document; And Chinese patent (CN102504760A) " preparation method of a kind of silicon carbide and carbon nano tube composite wave-absorbing material ", metal-carbon silicon compound is prepared at silicon carbide mainly through pickling process, 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/silicon carbide foam catalytic composite material and preparation method thereof " mainly uses foam silicon carbon as carrier, Fe-Mg-Al, as composite catalyst, adopts the method for chemical vapor deposition for carbon nanotubes.These two patents have all prepared carbon nanotube, but main in these two patents what utilize is suction ripple and the catalytic performance of carbon nanotube, and have many deficiencies: the metal-carbon silicon compound that (1) adopts pickling process to prepare, metallic particles size and distribution all uneven, catalytic performance can not be played well; (2) do not adopt carrier gas to be easy to produce indefiniteness carbon in chemical vapour deposition deposition, impact is shone on the performance of material; (3) Fe-Mg-Al composite catalyst is adopted may to have bad impact to the last performance of matrix material.
