分别将聚苯乙烯树脂(PS)与钠基蒙脱土(Na-MMT)和有机化蒙脱土(OMMT)通过熔融复合制备纳米黏土改性的复合材料。通过X射线衍射(XRD)对复合材料的微观结构进行了分析,采用HAAKE流变仪和熔体流动速率仪研究了复合材料的熔体流动行为。结果表明,Na-MMT在与PS熔融复合前后,其片层间距没有发生变化,PS分子链没有插入蒙脱土片层之间,所形成的是一种填充型复合材料。OMMT在熔融复合后,片层间距显著增大,与PS分子链形成了插层复合结构。蒙脱土含量相同时,PS/Na-MMT复合体系的熔体流动性能比PS/OMMT体系更好。研究认为,熔融复合过程中PS分子链的断链和2种复合材料结构上的差异是影响2种材料流动性能的主要因素。     

熔融插层法制备聚乳酸/蒙脱土纳米复合材料的研究进展

综述了使用熔融插层法制备聚乳酸（PLA）/蒙脱土（MMT）纳米复合材料及其表征与性能的研究进展。研究表明,对MMT进行有机改性,可以增大MMT片层间距,使PLA/MMT形成剥离和插层的结构,同时有效地提高PLA/MMT复合材料的性能。随着MMT含量的增加,MMT片层粒子容易形成团簇,不利于结构分散以及性能提高;由于MMT片层粒子在PLA基体中良好分散,形成剥离/插层的结构,有利于抑制PLA分子链运动,从而提高了PLA的韧性、热稳定性、气体阻透性能;MMT片层粒子作为二维异向成核剂,可以提高复合材料的结晶度和结晶速率;分散的MMT片层粒子形成了一种空间连接结构,大大提高了复合材料的熔体强度,有利于拓宽其加工窗口;同时MMT结构中的末端羟基可以增加复合材料的生物降解速率。

Preparation of polyimide/siloxane‐functionalized graphene oxide composite films with high mechanical properties and thermal stability via in situ polymerization

An effective approach to prepare polyimide/siloxane‐functionalized graphene oxide composite films is reported. The siloxane‐functionalized graphene oxide was obtained by treating graphene oxide (GO) with 1,3‐bis(3‐aminopropyl)‐1,1,3,3‐tetra‐methyldisiloxane (DSX) to obtain DSX‐GO nanosheets, which provided a starting platform for in situ fabrication of the composites by grafting polyimide (PI) chains at the reactive sites of functional DSX‐GO nanosheets. DSX‐GO bonded with the PI matrix through amide linkage to form PI‐DSX‐GO films, in which DSX‐GO exhibited excellent dispersibility and compatibility. It is demonstrated that the obvious reinforcing effect of GO to PI in mechanical properties and thermal stability for PI‐DSX‐GO is obtained. The tensile strength of a composite film containing 1.0 wt% DSX‐GO was 2.8 times greater than that of neat PI films, and Young's modulus was 6.3 times than that of neat PI films. Furthermore, the decomposition temperature of the composite for 5% weight loss was approximately 30 °C higher than that of neat PI films. © 2015 Society of Chemical Industry     

Preparation, characterization, and supercritical carbon dioxide foaming of polystyrene/graphene oxide composites

Graphene oxide (GO) was prepared by oxidation of graphite using the Hummers method, and was modified by isocyanate to obtain dispersed GO sheets in dimethylformamide. Polystyrene (PS)/GO composites were prepared by solution blending, and their morphologies and properties were characterized. The addition of GO increased the glass transition temperature of the PS/GO composites. The storage modulus and thermal stability of the composites were also improved compared with PS. Foams of PS and PS/GO composites were prepared by supercritical carbon dioxide foaming. The composite foams exhibited slightly higher cell density and smaller cell size compared with the PS foam, indicating the GO sheets can act as heterogeneous nucleation agents.     

Cellulose nanocrystal-mediated assembly of graphene oxide in natural rubber nanocomposites with high electrical conductivity

This study reports a green and powerful strategy for preparing cellulose nanocrystal (CNC)/graphene oxide (GO)/natural rubber (NR) nanocomposites hosting a 3D hierarchical conductive network. Due to good dispersibility and amphiphilic nature of CNC, well dispersed CNC/GO nanohybrids were prepared. Hydrogen bonding interactions between CNC and GO greatly enhanced the stability of the CNC/GO nanohybrids. CNC/GO nanohybrids were introduced into NR latex under sonication and the mixture was cast. Self-assembled CNC/GO nanohybrids preferentially dispersed in the interstice between latex microspheres allowing the construction of a 3D hierarchical conductive network. By combining strong hydrogen bonds and 3D conductive network, both electrical conductivity and mechanical properties (tensile strength and modulus) have been significantly improved. The electrical conductivity of the nanocomposite with 4 wt% GO and 5 wt% CNC exhibited an increase of nine orders of magnitude compared to the nanocomposite with only 4 wt% GO; meanwhile, the electrical percolation threshold was 3-fold lower than for NR/GO composites.     

Investigation on particular phase morphology of immiscible polyamide 12 and polystyrene blends prepared via anionic ring‐opening polymerization

In this article, the particular phase morphology of immiscible polyamide 12/polystyrene (PA12/PS) blends prepared via in situ anionic ring‐opening polymerization of laurolactam (LL) in the presence of polystyrene (PS) was investigated. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier Transform infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) were used to analyze the morphology of the blends. The results show that the PS is dispersed as small droplets in the continuous matrix of PA12 when PS content is 5 wt%. However, when the PS content is higher than 10 wt%, two particular phase morphologies appeared. Firstly, dispersed PS‐rich particles with the spherical inclusions of PA12 can be found when PS content is between 10 and 15 wt%. Then the phase inversion occurred (the phase morphology of the PA12/PS blends changed from the PS dispersed/PA12 matrix to PA12 dispersed/PS matrix system) when PS content is 20 wt% or higher, which is unusual for polymer blends prepared via conventional methods such as mixing, hydrolytic polycondensation and so on. The formation of this particular phase morphology development was simply elucidated via a phase inversion mechanism. Furthermore, the stability of the phase morphology of the PA12/PS blends after annealing at 230°C was also investigated via SEM. POLYM. ENG.

Graphene‐based composite with microwave absorption property prepared by in situ reduction

Binary composite of graphene/poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) with microwave absorption property is prepared by in situ reduction process. Graphite oxide (GO) is prepared from flake graphite by modified Hummers' method and further dispersed in distilled water to get GO solution. Then, PEO powder is slowly added into GO solution to get GO/PEO solution, and graphene/PEO composites is prepared via a facile and quick reduction process in GO/PEO solution. PEO and graphene/PEO composites are characterized by scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, thermo gravimetric analysis, and vector network analyzer. The results show that graphene is uniformly dispersed in PEO matrix because GO and PEO can be uniformly dispersed at molecular level due to their water‐solubility and the agglomeration of graphene can be prevented by PEO macromolecular chains during in situ reduction process. Graphene/PEO composite has better thermal stability than PEO, which can be explained by the graphene restoration of sp² bonded carbon structure. Meanwhile, graphene/PEO composite shows excellent microwave absorption property at low grapheme content. The minimum reflection loss of graphene/PEO composite is up to −20.0 dB when the content of graphene is only 1 wt%. POLYM. COMPOS., 35:461–467, 2014. © 2013 Society of Plastics Engineers     

Jatropha curcas oil based alkyd/epoxy/graphene oxide (GO) bionanocomposites: Effect of GO on curing,mechanical and thermal properties

Jatropha curcas oil based alkyd/epoxy/GO bionanocomposites were prepared by direct solution blending of alkyd/epoxy blend matrix with GO nano filler. Structures and properties of the bionanocomposites were characterized with Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetric analysis, and tensile testing. X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy study demonstrates the formation of highly exfoliated GO layers and its homogeneous dispersion throughout the polymer matrix with 1 and 3 wt% GO. However, the intercalated structure is predominant with 5 wt% GO. The homogeneous dispersion and the strong interaction of the GO layers and the polymer matrix induced the significant improvement in thermal and mechanical properties of the bionanocomposites. The tensile strength and elastic modulus of the bionanocomposite increased by 133% and 68% respectively with 3 wt% GO loading. The thermal stability of the bionanocomposite improved by 39 °C and T_g is shifted toward higher temperature by 20 °C as compared to the pristine polymer. Incorporation of GO significantly decreases the curing time of the alkyd/epoxy resin blend.     

Morphology,thermal and mechanical properties of epoxy adhesives containing well-dispersed graphene oxide

Graphene oxide (GO) is prepared and introduced into epoxy resins through a wet-transfer migration technique using a three-roll mill. The results of TEM, XRD and digital microscope observation show that good dispersion of GO is achieved without using any additives. The mechanical and thermal properties of GO/epoxy (GO/EP) adhesives are enhanced with GO incorporated. A 10.2% increase in Young's modulus and a 56.3% increase in elevated-temperature (120 °C) lap shear strength (LSS) was observed on addition of 1.0 wt% GO, compared to the neat epoxy adhesive. Increased glass transition temperature and improved thermal stability of the GO/EP adhesives are also observed in the DMA and TG analysis. Moreover, the toughness of the GO/EP adhesives is improved and much rougher fracture surface can be observed compared with the neat epoxy adhesive. No GO agglomeration can be observed in the SEM images of GO/EP adhesive with 1.0 wt% loading.     

Enhanced thermal conductivity and dimensional stability of flexible polyimide nanocomposite film by addition of functionalized graphene oxide

Polyimide (PI) nanocomposites with both enhanced thermal conductivity and dimensional stability were achieved by incorporating glycidyl methacrylate‐grafted graphene oxide (g‐GO) in the PI matrix. The PI/g‐GO nanocomposites exhibited linear enhancement in thermal conductivity when the amount of incorporated g‐GO was less than 10 wt%. With the addition of 10 wt% of g‐GO to PI (PI/g‐GO‐10), the thermal conductivity increased to 0.81 W m^?1 K^?1 compared to 0.13 W m^?1 K^?1 for pure PI. Moreover, the PI/g‐GO‐10 composite exhibited a low coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) of 29 ppm °C^?1. The values of CTE and thermal conductivity continuously decreased and increased, respectively, as the g‐GO content increased to 20 wt%. Combined with excellent thermal stability and high mechanical strength, the highly thermally conducting PI/g‐GO‐10 nanocomposite is a potential substrate material for modern flexible printed circuits requiring efficient heat transfer capability.     

Fabrication of polymer/microwave‐reduced graphite oxide nanocomposites by ball‐milling assisted wet compounding

Microwave‐induced reduction of graphite oxide (GO) is a promising method for rapid and scalable production of graphene. However, homogeneous incorporation of thus prepared graphene into polymer matrix is still a hard task. In this article, we present a ball‐milling assisted wet compounding method for the fabrications of microwave‐reduced GO (MRGO)/polymer composites. MRGO powders were added into a solution of polystyrene (PS) and then mechanically exfoliated in a stirring mill. Scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy investigations show that the graphene sheets have been homogeneously dispersed in the PS matrix. The composites show pronouncedly improved properties. The thermal degradation temperature of composites increased by 34°C with the addition of 5wt% MRGO in PS. Up to 76% improvement of storage modulus (at 30°C) is achieved by compounding with 10wt% MRGO.POLYM. COMPOS., 2013. © 2013 Society of Plastics Engineers
