Ceramization mechanism of ZrB2 - boron phenolic resin modified silicone rubber thermal protection system materials and the influence of oxygen in service environment
The ceramization reaction of silicone rubber thermal protection system (TPS) materials, along with the resultant ceramic phase structure, is critical for enabling these materials to endure high-temperature environments and withstand erosion from high-velocity flows. Under service conditions, in addition to intrinsic physical and chemical transformations, the reactions between the materials and environmental constituents significantly influence the ceramization process. To investigate the influence of oxygen on ZrB2 - boron phenolic resin modified silicone rubber TPS materials, thermal analysis experiments were conducted under varying oxygen concentrations (0 %, 5 %, 10 %, and 21 %) across a temperature range from room temperature to 1800 K. These experiments utilized a thermal analyzer, fourier-transform infrared spectrometer, X-ray diffractometer, and other instruments. The results indicate that the influence of oxygen in the service environment on the ceramization reaction can be attributed to two primary aspects. Firstly, oxygen affects the oxidation behavior of the silicone rubber matrix. In a nitrogen atmosphere, cyclic siloxanes formed during pyrolysis undergo structural reconstruction at temperatures above 1300 K. In an air atmosphere, these cyclic siloxanes are oxidized to form new C = O organic groups before undergoing pyrolysis and subsequent structural reconstruction at elevated temperatures. Secondly, in an air atmosphere, zirconium boride and boron phenolic resin fillers undergo oxidation to produce boron oxide. This boron oxide reacts with silica to form borosilicate B-O-Si structures. Additionally, the molten boron oxide acts as a pore-filling agent within the ceramic phase structure, leading to the formation denser ceramic phase structure than the network structure in a nitrogen atmosphere.
期刊介绍:
Polymer Degradation and Stability deals with the degradation reactions and their control which are a major preoccupation of practitioners of the many and diverse aspects of modern polymer technology.
Deteriorative reactions occur during processing, when polymers are subjected to heat, oxygen and mechanical stress, and during the useful life of the materials when oxygen and sunlight are the most important degradative agencies. In more specialised applications, degradation may be induced by high energy radiation, ozone, atmospheric pollutants, mechanical stress, biological action, hydrolysis and many other influences. The mechanisms of these reactions and stabilisation processes must be understood if the technology and application of polymers are to continue to advance. The reporting of investigations of this kind is therefore a major function of this journal.
However there are also new developments in polymer technology in which degradation processes find positive applications. For example, photodegradable plastics are now available, the recycling of polymeric products will become increasingly important, degradation and combustion studies are involved in the definition of the fire hazards which are associated with polymeric materials and the microelectronics industry is vitally dependent upon polymer degradation in the manufacture of its circuitry. Polymer properties may also be improved by processes like curing and grafting, the chemistry of which can be closely related to that which causes physical deterioration in other circumstances.
