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.

The piezoresistive behaviors of polyethylene/foliated graphite nanocomposites

A conductive nanocomposite with an ordered conductive network and low-percolation threshold were prepared by adding foliated graphite (FG) nanosheets to high-density polyethylene (HDPE). The piezoresistive behavior of the nanocomposites was investigated under different pressure ranges. There existed a critical pressure below which composite resistance decrease with the increase of pressure and above which resistance increased sharply with increasing of pressure. The critical pressure is a function of the concentration of FG and the sensitivity of the change in resistivity against the applied pressure strongly depended on the FG content. The critical pressures of the nanocomposites with FG concentration at 6 vol.%, 11 vol.%, 12 vol.%, are about 7 MPa, 10 MPa, and 12 MPa, respectively. After repeated pressure treatment, there was a gradual decrease in the change of conducting structure although a permanent damage occurred due to the irreversible deformation of polymer matrix. As a result, the piezoresistive behavior of HDPE/FG nanocomposites tended to be constant under cyclic compression. The behavior was accounted for by an extension of tunneling conduction theory to which provides a good approximation to the piezoresistive effect.     

Synthesis and characterization of polyaniline/graphite conducting nanocomposites

A new method for the synthesis of exfoliated graphite and polyaniline (PANI)/graphite nanocomposites was developed. Exfoliated graphite nanosheets were prepared through the microwave irradiation and sonication of synthesized expandable graphite. The nanocomposites were fabricated via the in situ polymerization of the monomer at the presence of graphite nanosheets. The as-synthesized graphite nanosheets and PANI/graphite nanocomposite materials were characterized with Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The conductivity of the PANI/graphite nanocomposites was dramatically increased over that of pure PANI. TGA indicated that the incorporation of graphite greatly improved the thermal stability of PANI. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part B: Polym Phys 42: 1972–1978, 2004

Facile synthesis of highly conductive polyaniline/graphite nanocomposites

A facile process for the synthesis of exfoliated graphite and polyaniline/graphite (PANI/graphite) nanocomposite was developed. Graphite nanosheets were prepared via the microwave irradiation and sonication from synthesized expandable graphite. The nanocomposites were fabricated via in situ polymerization of aniline monomer in the presence of graphite nanosheets. The nanoscale dispersion of graphite sheets was evidenced by the SEM and TEM examinations. According to the electrical conductivity test, the conductivity of the final PANI/graphite nanocomposites were dramatically increased compared with pristine PANI. From the thermogravimetric analysis, the introduction of graphite exhibits a beneficial effect on the thermal stability of PANI.     

PMMA/MMT nanocomposites prepared by one-step in situ intercalative solution polymerization

Poly(methylmetacrylate)/montmorillonite (PMMA)/(MMT) nanocomposites were prepared by one-step in situ intercalative solution polymerization involving simultaneous modification of MMT with quaternary ammonium salts (QAS), polymerization and polymer intercalation. Polymerization proceeded at 70 °C in a mixture of ethanol and water, whereas the nanocomposite was precipitated with only water. Four QAS’s with different alkyl chain lengths, as well as a QAS with an additional acrylic group, were used to study the influence of the type of quaternary ammonium salt on intercalation. The largest extent of intercalation was achieved in nanocomposites with the QAS having one long alkyl (C16) chain. The obtained PMMA/MMT intercalated nanocomposites exhibited a higher glass transition temperature, better thermal stability, and improved solvent resistance than the pure PMMA.     

Synthesis of graphite nanosheets/AgCl/polypyrrole composites via two-step inverse microemulsion method

An effective process for the synthesis of graphite nanosheets/AgCl/polypyrrole (NanoGs/AgCl/PPy) composites was developed. NanoGs were prepared by treating the expanded graphite with sonication in aqueous alcohol solution. Then nanocomposites were fabricated via in situ polymerization of pyrrole in the presence of NanoGs and AgCl particles through two-step sequentially inverse microemulsion method. The nanoscale dispersion of NanoGs and AgCl particles was evidenced by the SEM and TEM examinations. From the thermogravimetric analysis, the introduction of inorganic nano-AgCl and NanoGs exhibited a beneficial effect on the thermal stability of pure PPy. According to the four-point-probe test, the conductivity of the final NanoGs/AgCl/PPy composites was dramatically increased compared with pure PPy.     

Effect of expanded graphite/layered-silicate clay on thermal, mechanical and fire retardant properties of poly(lactic acid)

Preparation of PLA based nanocomposites was carried out by using two different nanofillers: expanded graphite and organically modified montmorillonite. The addition and co-addition of these nanofillers to PLA using the melt-blending technique provides nanocomposites that showed significant enhancements in rigidity, thermal stability and fire retardancy of the polymer matrix. The presence of dispersed graphite nanolayers in PLA significantly accelerated the polyester crystallization, whereas the essential increase of thermal resistance is mainly connected to the addition of organoclay. The structure of the nanocomposites was examined by Wide Angle X-ray Scattering Analysis and Transmission Electron Microscopy. The improvement of thermal and mechanical properties obtained by the presence of both nanoparticles in PLA were associated to the good (co)dispersion and to the co-reinforcement effect, whilst the fire retardant properties were found to be related to the combined additive action of both nanofillers.     

Fabrication and characterization of nylon 6/foliated graphite electrically conducting nanocomposite

In this study, the nylon 6/foliated graphite (FG) electrically conducting nanocomposites with a low percolation threshold of less than 0.75 vol % have been prepared via an in situ polymerization approach in the presence of FG nanosheet filler. Based on laser counting, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and X‐ray diffraction characterization techniques, the structures and morphologies of the nanoscale filling particles and the resulting nanocomposites were examined. Using percolation theory, the conductivity behavior of the nanocomposite samples were modeled and analyzed. Through the use of mean‐field and excluded volume approaches, it was demonstrated that the experimentally observed percolation threshold values could be approximately estimated, and a correlation between the percolation threshold and the aspect ratio of FG particles could be quasi‐quantitatively established. Also, preliminary studies on the effects of FG nanosheets on the thermal properties of the host nylon 6 were performed. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The mechanical properties of surface treated UHMWPE fibers and TiO2 reinforced PMMA composite

Mechanical properties of hybrid PMMA composites reinforced with UHMWPE fiber and nano‐titanium dioxide (2, 4, 6, and 8 wt%) was investigated. In this work, the effect of UHMWPE fiber surface treatment on tensile, flexural, and impact properties of PMMA composites was studied. The fiber loadings were varied from 0% to 20%. The addition of UHMWPE fiber had caused a decline in the tensile strength of the PMMA composite. Results revealed that the presence of titanium dioxide on the surface treated UHMWPE fiber has further enhanced the efficiency of stress transfer from the matrix to the fiber thus improved the interfacial adhesion between the UHMWPE fiber and PMMA matrix.

Facile synthesis of mesophase pitch/exfoliated graphite nanoplatelets nanocomposite and its application as anode materials for lithium-ion batteries

Mesophase pitch (MP)/exfoliated graphite nanoplatelets (GNPs) nanocomposite has been prepared by an efficient method with an initiation of graphite intercalation compounds (GIC). X-ray diffraction, optical microscopy, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy and scanning electron microscopy analysis techniques are used to characterize the samples. It is observed that GIC has exfoliated completely into GNPs during the formation of MP/GNPs nanocomposite and the GNPs are distributed uniformly in MP matrix, which represent a conductive path for a movement of electrons throughout the composites. Electrochemical tests demonstrate that the carbonized MP/GNPs nanocomposite displays higher capacity and better cycle performance in comparison with the pure carbonized MP. It is concluded that such a large improvement of electrochemical performance within the nanocomposite may in general be related to the enhanced electronic conductivity, which is achieved by good dispersion of GNPs within MP matrix and formation of a 3D network of GNPs.

Effect of clay on the corrosion protection efficiency of PMMA/Na-MMT clay nanocomposite coatings evaluated by electrochemical measurements

The preparation of PMMA-clay nanocomposites was investigated by using sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate (SDS) and potassium peroxodisulfate (KPS) as a surfactant and chain initiator for an in situ emulsion polymerization reaction, respectively. The as-prepared nanocomposites were then characterized by Fourier transformation infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXRD) patterns and transmission electron microscopy (TEM).It should be noted that the nanocomposite coating containing 1 wt% of clay loading was found to exhibit an observable enhanced corrosion protection on cold-rolled steel (CRS) electrode at higher operational temperature of 50 °C, which was even better than that of uncoated and electrode-coated with PMMA alone at room temperature of 30 °C based on the electrochemical parameter evaluations (e.g., E_corr, R_p, I_corr, R_corr and impedance). In this work, all electrochemical measurements were performed at a double-wall jacketed cell, covered with a glass plate, through which water was circulated from a thermostat to maintain a constant operational temperature of 30, 40 and 50 ± 0.5 °C. Moreover, a series of electrochemical parameters shown in Tafel, Nyquist and Bode plots were all used to evaluate PCN coatings at three different operational temperatures in 5 wt% aqueous NaCl electrolyte. The molecular barrier properties at three different operational temperatures of PMMA and PCN membranes were investigated by gas permeability analyzer (GPA) and vapor permeability analyzer (VPA). Effect of material composition on the molecular weight and optical properties of neat PMMA and PCN materials, in the form of solution and membrane, were also studied by gel permeation chromatography (GPC) and UV-vis transmission spectra.     

Development of new approach based on Raman spectroscopy to study the dispersion of expanded graphite in poly(lactide)

A new approach has been developed to study the dispersion/delamination of expanded graphite (EG) in poly(lactide) (PLA) by using Raman spectroscopy. This technique is more sensitive and therefore fully complementary to more standard dispersion characterization techniques like SEM, TEM and X-ray diffraction. The incorporation of EG into PLA was carried out by a twin-screw micro-extruder. The effects of the dispersion and delamination of EG on the thermal and thermo-mechanical properties of polylactide-EG nanocomposites were investigated. In contrast to the standard techniques, Raman spectroscopy was able to show a partial exfoliation, which could therefore explain the slight improvement of the PLA-EG thermal and thermo-mechanical properties.     

The production and properties of polylactide composites filled with expanded graphite

Composites have been produced by melt-blending biodegradable polylactide (PLA) with commercially available expanded graphite (EG). Using different techniques of addition, the manifold effects of EG on PLA molecular, thermo-mechanical and fire-retardant properties were evaluated. The EG nanofiller provides PLA composites with competitive functional properties. They have a high rigidity, with Young's modulus and storage modulus increasing with EG content. They also have excellent thermal stability while preserving the glass transition and melting temperature of the original PLA matrix. Purification and pre-dispersion of EG nanofiller proved beneficial for preserving PLA molecular weights and led to improved mechanical performance. The presence of dispersed graphene nanolayers in PLA significantly accelerated the polyester crystallization process. The flame retardant properties also displayed improvements with a large decrease in the maximum rate of heat release as recorded by cone calorimetry, whereas the horizontal burning test (UL94 HB) was successfully passed revealing non-dripping and char formation.
