嵌入金属网层热塑性复合材料的界面损伤机制与原位修复

Interfacial damage mechanism and in-situ repair of thermoplastic composites with embedded metal mesh layer

  • 摘要: 提出了一种在玻璃纤维增强聚丙烯(PP)热塑性复合材料中嵌入金属网作为感应加热功能元件,通过磁感应加热技术实现高效原位修复的结构功能一体化设计。通过末端切口弯曲实验(ENF)和低速冲击实验(LVI),评估了修复前后材料的抗裂纹扩展能力和抗冲击性能。采用超声波扫描、X射线断层扫描和扫描电子显微镜(SEM)对比分析了修复前后的内部损伤情况。结果表明:感应修复过程中内部热传导使基体再交联形成致密结构,显著提升了层间断裂韧性,提升最大达74.13%。材料在40 J高能量冲击修复后,抗冲击性能得以恢复,峰值力仍可维持原始值的87.75%。修复方法主要改善了基体性能,未显著恢复纤维损伤。设计方案兼具力学性能增强与原位修复能力,为玻璃纤维增强热塑性复合材料的原位高效修复提供了可行路径,具备良好的工程应用前景。

     

    Abstract: An integrated structural-functional design of glass fiber reinforced polypropylene (PP) thermoplastic composites is proposed, in which a metal mesh is embedded as an induction heating element to enable efficient in-situ repair via magnetic induction. End-notched flexure (ENF) and low-velocity impact (LVI) tests were conducted to evaluate the crack propagation resistance and impact performance before and after repair. Internal damage before and after repair was comparatively analyzed through ultrasonic C-scan imaging, X-ray computed tomography, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results show that internal thermal conduction facilitates matrix remelting and reflowing during the induction repair process, leading to the densification of the structure and an enhancement of the interlaminar fracture toughness by up to 74.13%. The repaired specimens also retained 87.75% of their original peak load under a high-energy impact of 40 J, indicating a substantial repair of impact performance. Moreover, the repair method primarily enhanced matrix properties while exhibiting limited repair of fiber damage. This design strategy combines mechanical reinforcement with in-situ repair capability, offering a feasible and promising approach for the high-efficiency in-situ repair of glass-fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites in engineering applications.
