Preparation and characterization of functionalized graphene oxide/carbon fiber/epoxy nanocomposites

Graphene oxide (GO) was functionalized using three different diamines, namely ethylenediamine (EDA), 4,4′-diaminodiphenyl sulfone (DDS) and p-phenylenediamine (PPD) to reinforce an epoxy adhesive, with the aim of improving the bonding strength of carbon fiber/epoxy composite. The chemical structure of the functionalized GO (FGO) nanosheets was characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR and XRD. Hand lay-up, as a simple method, was applied for 3-ply composite fabrication. In the sample preparation, the fiber-to-resin ratio of 40:60 (w:w) and fiber orientations of 0°, 90°, and 0° were used. The GO and FGO nanoparticles were first dispersed in the epoxy resin, and then the GO and FGO reinforced epoxy (GO- or FGO-epoxy) were directly introduced into the carbon fiber layers to improve the mechanical properties. The GO and FGO contents varied in the range of 0.1–0.5 wt%. Results showed that the mechanical properties, in terms of tensile and flexural properties, were mainly dependent on the type of GO functionalization followed by the percentage of modified GO. As a result, both the tensile and flexural strengths are effectively enhanced by the FGOs addition. The tensile and flexural moduli are also increased by the FGO filling in the epoxy resin due to the excellent elastic modulus of FGO. The optimal FGO content for effectively improving the overall composite mechanical performance was found to be 0.3 wt%. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) revealed that the failure mechanism of carbon fibers pulled out from the epoxy matrix contributed to the enhancement of the mechanical performance of the epoxy. These results show that diamine FGOs can strengthen the interfacial bonding between the carbon fibers and the epoxy adhesive.     

High performance hybrid reinforcement of nitrile rubber using short pineapple leaf fiber and carbon black

Rubber composites with very high moduli at low elongation, high elongation at break and high ultimate breaking strength have been developed. The matrix was acrylonitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) and the hybrid (fibrous and particulate) reinforcements were short, fine pineapple leaf fiber (PALF) and carbon black. The amount of PALF was fixed at 10 parts (by weight) per hundred of rubber (phr) while that of carbon black was varied from 0 to 30 phr. Uniaxial NBR composites were prepared. Tensile strength, elongation at break, modulus and tear strength of the hybrid composites were characterized in both longitudinal (parallel to the fiber axis) and transverse (perpendicular to the fiber axis) directions. The addition of carbon black causes the slope of the early part of the stress–strain curve to increase and also extends breaking to greater strains. At carbon black contents of 20 phr and above, the stress–strain relation displays an upturn at high elongations, providing greater ultimate strength. Comparison with the usual carbon black filled rubber shows that the composite behavior at low strains is determined by the PALF, and at high strains by the carbon black. This high performance PALF-carbon black reinforced NBR shows great promise for engineering applications.

Particle size effects in Fischer-Tropsch synthesis by Co catalyst supported on carbon nanotubes

The effect of Co particle size on the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (FTS) activity of carbon nanotube (CNT)-supported Co catalysts was investigated. Microemulsion (using water-to-surfactant molar ratios of 2 to12) and impregnation techniques were used to prepare catalysts with different Co particle sizes. Kinetic studies were performed to understand the effect of Co particle size on catalytic activity. Size-dependent kinetic parameters were developed using a thermodynamic method, to evaluate the structural sensitivity of the CNT-supported Co catalysts. The size-independent FTS reaction rate constant and size-independent adsorption parameter increased with increasing reac-tion temperature. The Polani parameter also depended on catalyst particle size, because of changes in the catalyst surface coverage.

碳纳米管封装铁纳米粒子催化剂上CO加氢制低碳烯烃

由于石油资源的逐步枯竭,近年来费托(F-T)反应因其可以高效将煤、天然气和生物质等转化成液体燃料和高值化学品而越来越受到人们的关注。相比于Co, Ni和Ru等F-T催化剂, Fe基催化剂因其价格低廉,产物分布广而被广泛研究。以合成气直接制备低碳烯烃的F-T过程为例,铁基催化剂通常会因积碳和烧结的问题,而导致失活。因此,人们通常使用一些氧化物载体,比如氧化硅,氧化铝或者分子筛来分散并稳定铁粒子。但是这类氧化物载体通常与铁有非常强的相互作用,特别是在铁粒子较小的情况下,容易生成一些难于还原的硅酸铁和铝酸铁。而活性炭、碳纤维等惰性载体与铁的相互作用较弱,不足以稳定小的铁粒子在而反应过程中聚集。近来,我们组提出了利用石墨烯碳层封装过渡金属粒子作为催化剂,利用“穿透”的金属电子来催化反应,从而可以使活性中心和反应介质隔离,有效地增强了非贵金属催化剂的活性和稳定性。在此基础上,我们组和其他课题组的研究表明,一系列石墨烯碳层封装的非贵金属催化剂在燃料电池阴极氧还原反应,电催化析氢反应,染料敏化太阳能电池中的I3–还原反应以及催化氧化还原反应中都有着广泛的应用前景。这种材料中碳层不仅能在氧化气氛、酸性介质中保护包覆的金属,防止其被氧化或者腐蚀,还与包覆的金属有着较强的相互作用,可以促进非贵金属的电子向碳层表面的转移,有望在一些苛刻的反应条件下实现对贵金属催化剂的替代。本文进一步拓展了其在高温反应中的应用,发现豆荚状碳纳米管封装的金属铁纳米粒子在合成气制备低碳烯烃中可以有效防止金属铁纳米粒子的烧结和聚集,因此表现出优异的低碳烯烃选择性和催化稳定性。我们利用一步化学反应法合成了豆荚状碳纳米管封装的铁纳米粒子催化剂(Pod-Fe),并通过酸洗除去碳管外面裸露的铁粒子。透射电镜(TEM)和X射线衍射(XRD)表明酸洗后铁粒子被包覆在碳管内,并且呈金属态,而酸洗前,则还有大量的氧化铁粒子分布于碳管外部(FeOx/Pod-Fe)。将酸洗前后的两个催化剂用于固定床气相F-T反应中。通过调节空速和温度考察了它们的催化反应性能,结果表明两个催化剂在不同的反应条件下都有着良好的低碳烯烃选择性。不同反应温度下,它们表现出不同的变化趋势：Pod-Fe活性随着温度的升高而缓慢增长,至380 oC都没有明显的失活现象;而对于FeOx/Pod-Fe催化剂,随着温度的升高, CO的转化率先升高,在300 oC时达最高,但随着温度进一步升高,活性迅速降低,呈现一个火山型曲线。 TEM结果发现,反应后FeOx/Pod-Fe催化剂粒子上产生了很多杂乱的碳丝,并且铁粒子有着明显的聚集长大。而Pod–Fe催化剂即使在380 oC反应后,其形貌仍然保持完好,没有积碳产生,粒子也没有发生聚集和长大。进一步在320 oC下120 h的寿命试验发现, Pod-Fe催化剂的初始活性较低,但经20 h的活化阶段,活性会先增加后略有下降,20 h后趋于稳定。而FeOx/Pod-Fe催化剂在反应初始虽然表现出较高的活性,但是随着时间进行,活性迅速下降一半以上,最后趋于稳定。同时结合反应后TEM和XRD的结果发现碳管外部裸露的铁粒子会在反应过程中形成碳化铁物种,并随着反应进行产生聚集,并伴有大量积碳,导致活性迅速下降;而碳层的包覆对于铁粒子有着很好的稳定作用,使得铁粒子能够在高温反应中保持稳定,并且没有积碳的产生。由此可见石墨烯碳层可以有效保护其包覆的金属粒子,并且能够提高其在高温反应下的低碳烯烃选择性和稳定性。此类催化剂有望在一些苛刻条件下的多相催化反应中得到广泛应用。     

碳纤维自焊接骨架结构的形成及其复合材料性能研究

报道了一种将短切碳纤维(CF)自发焊接成三维网络结构的新方法.研究发现,尼龙6(PA6)与CF具有较强的相互作用,SEM照片及储能模量高温平台表明,添加少量PA6能够在PS基体中形成耐高温的CFPA6自焊接骨架结构,PA6用量越多,高温储能模量越高,自焊接骨架结构强度越大.研究证明,这种自焊接骨架结构能够大幅度提高PS/CF复合体系的热变形温度,碳纤维具有优异的导电导热性能,碳纤维骨架结构能够降低导电临界浓度,增强面内导热系数.进一步分析表明,PA6在碳纤维表面定向聚集是一个动力学过程,CF-PA6自焊接骨架强度与PA6黏附率NPA6呈线性关系;扩大PA6与PS的黏度差,延长热压时间均有利于提高NPA6,进而大幅提高网络结构强度.

采用稀土三元催化剂制备了二氧化碳-环氧丙烷-马来酸酐三元共聚物(PPCMA).用红外和核磁谱图确定了PPCMA的结构及马来酸酐单元的含量,3 wt％马来酸酐投料量的PPCMA(共聚物中马来酸酐单元含量4.1％)的玻璃化转变温度(Tg)和起始热分解温度(Td-5％)分别为13.4℃和217℃,拉伸强度为2.88 MPa,断裂伸长率为1669％,与二氧化碳-环氧丙烷共聚物(PPC)相比,引入少量马来酸酐的PPCMA有望成为一种韧性材料,并可对PPC和聚3-羟基丁酸酯(PHB)共混体系进行改性.当在PPC/PHB共混体系中添加10 wt％的PPCMA时,所得共混材料的拉伸强度为18.2 MPa,断裂伸长率则提高到85％,较没有添加PPCMA的样品提高了4.25倍,因此PPCMA的加入能有效提高PPC/PHB共混体系的韧性,改善PPC/PHB共混体系的力学性能.偏光显微镜的研究表明PPC/PHB共混体系加入PPCMA后,很快形成大量尺寸小的PHB球晶,且结晶速度大幅度提高,因此PPCMA在一定意义上可视为一种特殊的“成核剂”.
