Nylon 610/functionalized multiwalled carbon nanotube composite prepared from in‐situ interfacial polymerization

Pristine multiwalled carbon nanotubes (P‐MWNTs) were functionalized with 4‐chlorobenzoic acid via “direct” Friedel‐Crafts acylation in polyphosphoric acid (PPA)/phosphorous pentoxide (P₂O₅) medium. The resultant 4‐chlorobenzoyl‐functionalized MWNTs (F‐MWNTs) were soluble in chlorinated solvents such as dichloromethane, chloroform, and carbon tetrachloride. A large scale of nylon 610/F‐MWNT composite could be conveniently prepared by in situ interfacial polymerization of 1, 6‐hexamethylenediamine (HMDA) in an aqueous phase, and sebacoyl chloride with F‐MWNTs in an organic phase. Similarly, nylon 610/P‐MWNT composite was also prepared for comparison. The state of F‐MWNTs dispersion in nylon 610 matrix was distinctively better than that of P‐MWNTs, which could be clearly discerned by both naked eye and scanning electron microcopy (SEM). As a result, the tensile strength of nylon 610/F‐MWNT composite was 4.9‐fold higher than that of nylon 610/P‐MWNT composite. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

In situ biomimetic formation of nano‐hydroxyapatite crystals on chitosan microspheres

Chitosan (CS) is a biocompatible, noncytotoxic biomaterial used before as base material for composites. On the other hand, nano‐hydroxyapatite (nHA) is one of the main components of human bones, highly used for biomedical applications. In this work, CS microspheres were produced under a W/O emulsion system. CS microspheres with calcium ions were then exposed to Na₃PO₄ solution. In situ biomimetic nHA crystals were formed on CS microspheres to generate 15.14 ± 3.15‐μm composite microspheres. The microspheres were subsequently seeded with MG63 osteoblasts to observe their cell responses. All microspheres were characterized via scanning electron microscopy (SEM), phase‐contrast photomicroscopy, and X‐ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. The results showed flake‐like shape and islet‐like growth of nHA depositions presented on the surface of the CS microspheres. In vitro tests indicated that the CS/nHA microparticles were not only biocompatible but also enhanced cell adhesion and elongation due to the in situ biomimetic synthesis method.     

Preparation of polyaniline grafted multiwalled carbon nanotubes and conductive application in polyetherimide

A methodology for improving antistatic property of polyetherimide (PEI) composite using polyaniline (PANI) grafted multi‐walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) as conductive medium was proposed. First, the MWNTs grafted with PANI (PANI‐g‐MWNTs) were prepared by in‐situ polymerization in an emulsion system. Subsequently, PANI‐g‐MWNTs were blended with PEI using N‐methyl‐2‐pyrrolidone as solvent. After removing the solvent, the PEI/PANI‐g‐MWNT composite was prepared. As assisted conductive medium, the grafted PANI molecular chains on MWNT surface were dispersed in the PEI matrix to decrease the percolation value of the antistatic composites. The structure and morphology of PANI‐g‐MWNTs were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, transmission electron microscope, thermogravimetric analysis, and X‐ray powder diffraction, respectively. The dispersion of PANI‐g‐MWNTs in PEI matrix was studied by scanning electron microscope. The electrical performance was characterized by highly resistant meter. The volume resistivity of the conductivity percolation threshold was 1.781 × 10^?8 S/cm when the loading of PANI‐g‐MWNTs was 1.0 wt%. The conductivity of PANI‐g‐MWNTs/PEI composites was found to be higher than that of pristine MWNTs/PEI composite. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Multiwalled carbon nanotube/polymer nanocomposites: Processing and properties

Nanocomposite materials were prepared with an amorphous poly(styrene‐co‐butyl acrylate) latex as a matrix with multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) as fillers. The microstructure of the related films was observed by transmission electron microscopy, which showed that a good dispersion of MWNTs within the matrix was obtained. The linear and nonlinear mechanical behavior and the electrical properties were analyzed. Mechanical characterization showed a mechanical reinforcement effect of the MWNTs with a relatively small decrease of the elongation at break. The composite materials exhibited an elastic behavior with increasing temperature, although the matrix alone became viscous under the same conditions. The electrical conductivity of the composite filled with 3 vol % MWNTs was studied during a tensile test, which highlighted the late damage of the material. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Thermal conductivity enhancement of MWNTs on the PANI/tetradecanol form-stable PCM

We prepared PANI/tetradecanol/MWNTs composites via in-situ polymerization. DSC results indicated that the composites are good form-stable phase change materials (PCMs) with large phase change enthalpy of 115 J g⁻¹. The MWNTs were randomly dispersed in the composites and significantly enhanced the thermal conductivity of the PCMs from 0.33 to 0.43 W m⁻¹ K⁻¹. The form-stable PCMs won’t liquefy even it is heated at 80°C, so that the MWNTs were fixed in the composite and the phase separation of the MWNTs from PANI/tetradecanol/MWNTs composites won’t occur.     

One‐Step Electrochemically Deposited Nanocomposite Film of CS‐Fc/MWNTs/GOD for Glucose Biosensor Application

A simple and controllable electrodeposition approach was proposed for one‐step construction of glucose biosensors by in situ co‐deposition of ferrocene‐branched chitosan derivatives (CS‐Fc), multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs), and glucose oxidase (GOD) onto electrode surface. The formation of CS‐Fc could not only effectively prevent the leakage of Fc and retain its electrochemical activity, but also provide a biocompatible microenvironment for retaining the native activity of the immobilized biomolecules. Further entrapment of MWNTs into the CS matrix improved electronic conductivity of the biocomposite significantly. The facile procedure of immobilizing GOD and the promising feature of biocomposite will offer a versatile platform to fabricate biosensors and bioelectronic devices.     

Strength and toughness of carbon fibers reinforced rigid polyurethane composites by adsorbing tannic acid and refining Ni grains on carbon fibers surface

In this article, short carbon fibers (CFs) reinforced rigid polyurethane (RPU) composites were prepared with the aim of improving both strength and toughness. A tannic acid (TA)‐nickel (Ni) composite coating was spontaneously co‐deposited onto CFs surface by a one‐step electrodeposition method to strengthen the interface bonding of the composites. The satisfactory mechanical properties of the composites were mainly attributed to the superior interfacial adhesion. On the one hand, TA could play a role in refining Ni grain during electrodeposition. On the other hand, the hydroxyl groups attached to composite coating, which were introduced by TA, could react with the RPU matrix to form chemical bonds. When the composites were under stress, the chemical bonds could effectively transfer the stress from matrix to the interface, while the refined Ni crystals could greatly increase the stress transfer path, and thus improve the strength and toughness of the material. Compared with pure RPU, the tensile strength, bending strength,interlaminar shear strength, and impact strength of TA‐Ni‐coated CFs/RPU composites were improved by 14.8%, 83.1%, 28.7%, and 121.4%, respectively.     

Nanomechanical properties of silica-coated multiwall carbon nanotubes-poly(methyl methacrylate) composites

The mechanical properties of polymer composites, reinforced with silica-coated multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWNTs), have been studied using the nanoindentation technique. The hardness and the Young's modulus have been found to increase strongly with the increasing content of these nanotubes in the polymer matrix. Similar experiments conducted on thin films containing MWNTs, but without a silica shell, revealed that the presence of these nanotubes does not affect the nanomechanical properties of the composites. While carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have a very high tensile strength due to the nanotube stiffness, composites fabricated with CNTs may exhibit inferior toughness. The silica shell on the surface of a nanotube enhances its stiffness and rigidity. Our composites, at 4 wt % of the silica-coated MWNTs, display a maximum hardness of 120 +/- 20 MPa, and a Young's modulus of 9 +/- 1 GPa. These are respectively 2 and 3 times higher than those for the polymeric matrix. Here, we describe a method for the silica coating of MWNTs. This is a simple and efficient technique, adaptable to large-scale production, and might lead to new advanced polymer based materials, with very high axial and bending strength.     

Multilayer Assembly of Hemoglobin and Colloidal Gold Nanoparticles on Multiwall Carbon Nanotubes/Chitosan Composite for Detecting Hydrogen Peroxide

Chitosan (CS) was chosen for dispersing multi‐wall carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) to form a stable CS‐MWNTs composite, which was first coated on the surface of a glassy carbon electrode to provide a containing amino groups interface for assembling colloidal gold nanoparticles (GNPs), followed by the adsorption of hemoglobin (Hb). Repeating the assembly step of GNPs and Hb resulted in {Hb/GNPs}_n multilayers. The assembly of GNPs onto CS‐MWNTs composites was confirmed by transmission electron microscopy. The consecutive growth of {Hb/GNPs}_n multilayers was confirmed by cyclic voltammetry and UV‐vis absorption spectroscopy. The resulting system brings a new platform for electrochemical devices by using the synergistic action of the electrocatalytic activity of GNPs and MWNTs. The resulting biosensor displays an excellent electrocatalytic activity and rapid response for hydrogen peroxide. The linear range for the determination of H₂O₂ was from 5.0×10^?7 to 2.0×10^?3 M with a detection limit of 2.1×10^?7 M at 3σ and a Michaelis–Menten constant K_M^app value of 0.19 mM.     

Decoration of carbon nanotubes with iron oxide

A magnetic composite of multiwalls carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) decorated with iron oxide nanoparticles was synthesized successfully by a simple and effective chemistry precipitation method. The composite was characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), Mössbauer spectrum (MS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and Fourier transform spectroscopy (FTIR) techniques. The patterns of XRD and MS indicated that MWNTs, γ-Fe₂O₃, and Fe₃O₄ coexisted in the composite. The TEM observation indicated that the nanoparticles of iron oxide were attached on the surface of the MWNTs, and the sizes of the particles ranged from 25 to 80 nm. FTIR spectra showed that SO₄⁻ functional groups existed on the surface of MWNTs after modification by sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonic acid (SDBS), which could immobilize Fe³⁺ ions onto the MWNTs. The hysteresis loops of the MWNTs and decorated MWNTs were measured by vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM), and the results showed that the composite was ferromagnetism with the saturated magnetization of 20.07 emu/g, and the coercive of 163.44 Oe.     

Biodegradable ultra high strength poly(L-lactide) rods for bone fixation

The hydrostatic molecular orientation technique was used to explore the highest mechanical improvements achievable for poly-L-lactide (PLLA). The mechanical attributes of these materials designed for bone fracture fixation devices, i.e. bending strength and modulus were measured and compared with those prepared by stretching method. The starting samples were prepared by conventional melt extrusion at 200 °C followed by hydrostatic extrusion at 140 °C using glycerin filled extruder. Uniaxially stretched rods were prepared by drawing in silicon oil at 120 °C. The physical properties of these rods are inadequate as mechanical supports in the dynamic healing process of the bone. Moreover, they underwent a marked strength deterioration when immersed in aqueous buffered solution for 90 days. On the other hand, the hydrostatic extrusion technique produced rods with progressively higher bending strength that showed only a small drop after 90 days hydrolytic degradation. Micrographs suggested a superior molecular orientation and packing, which could be associated with the improved performance. The hydrostatic extrusion technique proved to be a safe and effective approach for strengthening biodegradable polymeric materials for dynamic mechanical support in orthopedic medical devices.

Comparison of PVDF/MWNT,PMMA/MWNT,and PVDF/PMMA/MWNT nanocomposites: MWNT dispersibility and thermal and rheological properties

Pristine multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) were incorporated into poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF), poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA), and PVDF/PMMA blends to achieve binary and ternary nanocomposites. MWNTs were more compatible with the PVDF matrix than with the PMMA-containing matrices. MWNT addition did not alter the development of α-form PVDF crystals in the binary/ternary composites. Nucleation and overall isothermal crystallization of PVDF were enhanced by the presence of MWNTs, and enhancements were optimal in the PVDF/MWNT binary composites. Avrami analysis revealed that addition of MWNTs led to more extensive athermal-type nucleation of PVDF, and that PMMA slightly decreased the crystal growth dimension of PVDF. The equilibrium melting temperature (T_m°) of PVDF increased in the binary composites but remained nearly constant in the ternary system. Thermal stability was enhanced in the binary/ternary composites, and enhancements were more evident in the air environment than in nitrogen. Rheological property measurements revealed that the intensely entangled chains of high-molecular weight PVDF dominated the rheological response of PVDF-included samples in the melt state. A (pseudo)network structure was developed in each of the PVDF-included samples as well as in the 1 phr MWNT-added PMMA/MWNT composite. The storage moduli of the PVDF, PMMA, and PVDF/PMMA:1/1 blend increased to 37%, 22% and 34%, respectively, at 40 °C after addition of 1 phr MWNT.
