Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for preparing an electrically conductive composite film, particularly in the form of a self-supporting film or a prepreg, a process for preparing an electrically conductive laminated composite structure comprising such an electrically conductive composite film , said electrically conductive composite film, said electrically conductive laminated composite structure, and uses thereof.
- the present invention typically, but not exclusively, applies to the automotive, railway, aeronautics, aerospace (eg, electronic satellites), computer and electronics industries, in which Electrically conductive composite parts, and in particular electrically conductive laminated composite structures, are used instead of massive metal parts.
- these composite parts must be sufficiently conductive (eg conductivities greater than 0.1 S / m) to be able to replace metal parts.
- they must be able to evacuate the electrical charge, and avoid the structural damage associated with lightning.
- the impact of lightning on one or more composite parts of an aircraft can lead to a degradation of its structure, but also its dysfunction (boosting in electrical systems, spark and degassing at level of fixings, sparkle at the edges of composite parts, critical effects in the fuel zones).
- the methods of manufacturing laminated composite structures are numerous and are implemented either from dry fibers (e.g., fibers alone) and a polymeric resin in film or liquid form, or from prepregs.
- the most common methods are autoclave bag molding (ie marouflage), compression molding, resin transfer molding (also known as Resin Transfer Molding or RTM), and brewing.
- a resin in the form of a film or in liquid form also well known respectively under the Anglicisms "Resin Film Infusion” or RFI, and "Liquid Resin Infusion” or LRI).
- Layered composite structures are most often made from thermosetting polymer resins (e.g., epoxy resins, phenolics, vinyl esters, polyesters, polyimides, etc.). Indeed, these resins are generally in solution in the form of non-crosslinked polymer suspended in a solvent. Once crosslinking is complete, these structures are solvent resistant and easy to handle. However, these laminated composite structures have the disadvantage of being poorly resistant to shocks. Moreover, once the polymerization of the thermosetting polymer resin has been carried out, the laminated composite structures are no longer transformable, which prevents their recycling and / or the repair of certain defects that would have appeared during their manufacture.
- thermosetting polymer resins e.g., epoxy resins, phenolics, vinyl esters, polyesters, polyimides, etc.
- thermoplastic polymer resins eg. polyethersulfones (PES), polyetherimides (PEI), polyetheretherketones (PEEK), or phenylene polysulfides (PPS)
- PES polyethersulfones
- PEI polyetherimides
- PEEK polyetheretherketones
- PPS phenylene polysulfides
- Grouve et al. have described the preparation of a laminate composite structure of the type [PPS / fiberglass] n by stacking unit stacks comprising successive layers of fibers continuous glass and PPS films, separated by plates tinned steel or aluminum or sheets of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), by hot pressing the stack formed, then cooling.
- the resulting structure is not sufficiently conductive (eg, conductivities less than 0.1 S / m).
- Cytec Technology Corp. has developed a PEEK / carbon fiber prepreg (marketed under the reference APC-2 / AS4) in the form of a unidirectional layer (UD) containing approximately 60% carbon fiber by volume.
- a unidirectional web sometimes called ribbon
- UD unidirectional layer
- a unidirectional web sometimes called ribbon
- Laminated composite structures can then be obtained by stacking these UD sheets in different directions, then consolidation by the effect of temperature and sometimes pressure.
- a metal grid e.g. copper or aluminum
- an insulating material such as a ply of glass fibers, in order to avoid galvanic corrosion due to the contact between the carbon fibers and the metal grid.
- Cytec Technology Corp. also proposes in the international application WO2013 / 032620 to prepare a laminated composite structure by stacking prepregs on which may be deposited metal sheets, locks, flakes, fibers or particles of a metallic material selected from aluminum, copper, titanium, nickel and stainless steel, to improve the electrical conductivity of the structure.
- a metallic material selected from aluminum, copper, titanium, nickel and stainless steel.
- these metal elements do not have a form factor, they must be introduced in amounts greater than 15% by volume, inducing a degradation of the mechanical properties of the laminated composite structure.
- the deposition of metal particles is generally by chemical vapor deposition or "Chemical Vapor Deposition” (ie CVD), by physical vapor deposition or “Physical Vapor Deposition” (ie PVD) or by aqueous chemical deposition.
- CVD chemical vapor deposition
- PVD Physical vapor deposition
- aqueous chemical deposition ie CVD
- CVD chemical vapor deposition
- PVD Physical Vapor Deposition
- aqueous chemical deposition ie vapor deposition
- these deposition techniques require sophisticated and expensive equipment and / or adhesion of the metal layer on the prepreg is not sufficient for the above applications.
- the composite film is prepared by hot extruding a mixture of PEEK and NTC using a bis-screw extruder to form granules, and shaping the granules under heat press.
- the methods for mixing and / or forming a mixture of a thermoplastic polymer resin with conductive particles generally used to manufacture a composite in the form of a film or pellet implement the thermoplastic polymer resin in the state melted and therefore require the use of very high temperatures (300 to 400 ° C).
- these methods such as extrusion, injection molding, molding or hot pressing induce high production costs, and they are unsuitable, especially when the conductive particles have a high form factor (eg carbon nanotubes, carbon fibers).
- the extrusion mixture causes shear forces that break said particles, reduce their form factor, and the final conductivity of the composite; and forming in press, injection molding or extrusion directs the high form factor conductive particles in the material direction, thereby decreasing the homogeneous dispersion of said particles in the composite, and thus its final conductivity.
- increasing the volume ratio of conductive particles to improve the conductivity degrades the mechanical properties of the structure.
- the object of the present invention is to overcome the disadvantages of the aforementioned prior art and to provide a method for preparing an electrically conductive composite film based on thermoplastic polymer resin and electrically conductive particles, said method being economical, easy to implement, can be used with any type of thermoplastic polymer resin and to maintain good mechanical properties.
