Description

METHOD FOR SURFACE TREATMENT OF COMPOSITE MATERIALS, AND COATING COMPOSITION AND PREPARATION METHOD THEREFOR BACKGROUND Technical Field
The present application relates to the technical field of surface painting of composite materials, and particularly to a coating composition for surface pretreatment of composite materials, especially fiber reinforced composite materials, and preparation method and use of the coating composition on the surface of composite materials.
Related Art
At present, in order to reduce the energy consumption of fuel-engined vehicles and improve the cruising range of electric vehicles, automobile lightweighting has become an inevitable trend in the future development of the automotive industry. The development of lightweight vehicles promotes the use of magnesium/aluminum alloys, engineering plastics and fiber reinforced composite materials in the automotive industry. Among them, the fiber reinforced composite material has the advantages of light weight, easy forming, strong rigidity, high degree of freedom in shape design, corrosion resistance, stable size and performance, and being readily sprayable. These have created favorable conditions for the use of fiber reinforced composite materials in the automotive industry.
However, due to the mismatch in the coefficient of thermal expansion between the fiber reinforcer and the resin matrix in the fiber reinforced composite material, as shown in Fig. 1, clearly visible fiber textures 2 are produced on the surface of the composite material during the preparation of the fiber reinforced composite material 1, and will still appear on the surface of a paint film after the paint film is painted and cured. This phenomenon is called the fiber replication effect.
This fiber replication effect can cause anisotropy in the surface of the fiber reinforced composite material, which makes it difficult for the fiber reinforced composite material to  meet the high appearance requirements for use in components with Class A surface. For the definition of Class A surface, M. NEITZEL ("Surface Quality Characterization of Textile-Reinforced Thermoplastics" , POLYMER COMPOSITES, August, 2000, Vol. 21, Page 631) , and N. Boyard ("A Physical Approach to Define a Class A Surface in Polymer Thermosetting Composite Materials" , Journal of Applied Polymer Science, 2007, Vol. 103, Page 452) give the following description of Class A surface: A composite material has a class A surface if its optical appearance is identical to an adjacent steel panel. For use in the automotive industry, the composite material of Class A surface can be painted at the same time with a metal material by means of automatic vehicle painting or automatic part painting, to achieve the same appearance as the adjacent metal material.
So far, for the texture phenomenon of surface anisotropy caused by the fiber replication effect of the fiber reinforced composite material, different methods have been tried to overcome and solve it. One method is to solve the surface texture problem of the fiber reinforced composite material by the in-mold painting technique, to meet the application requirements of Class A surface. For example, U.S. Patent No. US 20050260389 describes the use of in-mold painting to enhance the appearance of a polyurethane-based composite material, to achieve the application requirements of Class A surface. Another method is to suppress the fiber replication effect by surface coating in a mold for preparing a composite material. For example, U.S. Patent No. US2010086737 discloses the use of a surface smoothing film equivalent to 100-800 grams per square meter coated on a composite material for suppressing the fiber replication effect to achieve the surface flatness and durability requirements for the composite material. U.S. Patent No. US2016075105 describes the use of a metal layer having Class A surface to treat the surface of a laminated composite material, to effect the use of the composite material in automotive exterior ornaments.
Here, the present application is intended to solve the problem of fiber textures on the surface of the fiber reinforced composite material by providing a new coating composition as a coating in the surface pretreatment of the composite material, so that the composite material has a surface meeting the painting requirement of the Class A surface, and can be  used in subsequent continuous and mass painting.

Example 1
In this Example, a coating composition 1 is provided, which comprises a polyamine resin and an isocyanate group-containing curing agent. The polyamine resin is a polyaspartate resin, for example, Desmophen NH1220 available from Bayer Material Science, and the isocyanate group-containing curing agent is an aliphatic isocyanate curing agent, for example, Desmodur N 3390 available from Bayer Material Science. The coating composition further comprises a solvent and an auxiliary agent, and the auxiliary agent includes a substrate wetting agent, a pigment dispersant, fumed silica, a pigment and filler, a photostabilizer, and an UV absorber. The solvent is a combined solvent of butyl acetate and methyl ethyl ketone in admixture, where the weight ratio of butyl acetate to methyl ethyl ketone ranges from 1: 2 to 2: 1, for example, 1: 1, 1: 1.5, and 1.5: 1.
A method for preparing the coating composition is specifically as follows.
1) A polyaspartate resin A, butyl acetate, butyl acetate, methyl ethyl ketone, a pigment and filler, a dispersant, and a fumed silica thickener are sequentially added to a primary container, mixed uniformly by dispersing for 20-30 min by using a high-speed disperser with stirring at a speed of 1500-2000 rpm.
2) The uniformly mixed materials are transferred to a grinding machine and ground, and the grinding endpoint of the material is controlled by the fineness of the slurry, where the discharge fineness of the material is 10 μm or less.
3) A commercially available substrate wetting agent, a commercially available photostabilizer, and a commercially available UV absorber are added to the slurry obtained in the step (2) , and dispersed at a high speed to mix the coating uniformly, so as to obtain a component I. The viscosity of the component I is adjusted with methyl acetate and methyl ethyl ketone, and the component I is stirred for 15 min before each viscosity measurement. The component I has a viscosity in the range of 100 to 20000 mPa·s at 23℃.
4) The aliphatic isocyanurate curing agent Desmodur N 3390 and the solvent butyl acetate are mixed uniformly at a certain ratio by stirring, to obtain a component II of the pretreatment coating, in which the content in percentages by weight of the curing agent in the component II is 40-100%.
5) In use, the component I and the component II are uniformly mixed at a weight ratio of 1: 20 to 20: 1 by stirring, adjusted to the applicable viscosity, sprayed onto the composite material CFRP-1 with fiber textures, and cured for 30 min at room temperature. The extent of the texture on the surface of the composite material after spraying the coating is visually observed after painting.
The parts by weight of each component in the component I are listed in Table 1 below.

Table 2. Test results of surface texture
Figure PCTCN2019094353-appb-000003
The results in Table 2 indicate that the ability to solve the textures on the surface of the composite material varies with different types of polyaspartate resins in the pretreatment coating composition. For composite materials with different surface fiber textures, a pretreatment coating with the same polyaspartate resin and thickness has different abilities to solve the surface texture. Compared with the two-component polyurethane varnish with the same film thickness cured at 80℃, the coating compositions 1-3 cured at room temperature have obviously better ability to solve the surface fiber texture of the composite material CFRP-1.
The coating composition of the present application is enabled to have the properties of high solid content and low viscosity and can fully wet and level the surface of the fiber reinforced composite material by using the low-molecular-weight polyamine resin and a suitable solvent (especially a combined solvent) in the coating composition, thus improving the ability of the coating composition to solve the fiber textures caused by the surface anisotropy of the fiber reinforced composite material, and ameliorating other defects on the surface of the composite material. Meanwhile, a suitable curing agent and solvent are used in the coating composition described in the present application, such that the coating  composition has the characteristics of low-temperature fast curing and high crosslinking density.
The coating formed by the coating composition of the present application after low-temperature curing has high hardness and good toughness, and can effectively suppress the fiber replication effect caused by the volume change of the matrix resin in the fiber reinforced composite material. In the coating composition described in the present application, a polyamine resin and an isocyanate group-containing curing agent are used, which enables the fiber reinforced composite material to meet the painting requirements of the Class A surface, and the coating composition also has high adhesion, good water resistance, stone crash protection, anti-impact toughness, weather resistance, chemical resistance and other characteristics.
Since the coating composition described in the present application has the properties of high solid content and low viscosity, and can be coated on a component of a composite material having surface textures by air spraying, airless spraying, in-line electrostatic spray or in-mold painting, the surface of the coated component is allowed to reach the painting requirements of the Class A surface. When the coating composition described in the present application is applied to a fiber reinforced composite material, the surface properties of the fiber reinforced composite material can satisfy the process requirements of high-efficiency painting of automobile parts or vehicle.
The present application has been described through the above related embodiments, but the above embodiments are merely examples for implementing the present application. It needs to be noted that the disclosed embodiments do not limit the scope of the application. Rather, modifications and equivalent arrangements are intended to be included within the scope of the appended claims.
