Ti3C2Tx/聚酰亚胺复合膜的抗原子氧侵蚀性能

Atomic oxygen erosion resistance of Ti3C2Tx/polyimide composite films

  • 摘要: 聚酰亚胺(PI)材料因其优异的性能被广泛应用于低地球轨道(LEO)航天器,但易受到原子氧(AO)侵蚀。为解决这一问题,通过在PI中加入5 wt%的Ti3C2Tx,应用连续离心喷涂技术制备了Ti3C2Tx/PI复合薄膜。在模拟的LEO环境下,对薄膜进行AO辐照实验。结果表明,Ti3C2Tx/PI复合薄膜在保持PI原有力学性能的同时,抗AO性能显著提升,其AO剥蚀率仅为PI薄膜的6.6%。实验和分子动力学模拟均证实,Ti3C2Tx与AO反应生成钛氧化物钝化层,有效保护材料免受进一步AO侵蚀。所制备的Ti3C2Tx/PI复合薄膜有望成为新型高性能抗AO侵蚀材料。

     

    Abstract: Polyimide (PI) is widely used in low Earth orbit (LEO) spacecraft, but is vulnerable to atomic oxygen (AO) erosion. To address this issue, PI was blended with 5 wt% of Ti3C2Tx nanoparticles, and Ti3C2Tx/PI composite films were prepared using continuous centrifugal spraying technology. The AO erosion resistance of the films was evaluated under a simulated LEO environment. The results showed that the composite films maintained the original mechanical properties of PI films, while exhibiting significantly improved AO resistance, with an AO erosion yield of only 6.6% that of the PI films. These findings, confirmed by both experimental and molecular dynamics simulation, revealed that Ti3C2Tx reacts with AO to form a titanium oxide passivation layer, effectively protecting the material from further AO attack. The results demonstrate the potential of Ti3C2Tx/PI composite films as novel high-performance anti-AO erosion materials for LEO spacecraft applications.
