Novel conductive nanocomposites from perfluoropolyether waterborne polyurethanes and carbon nanotubes

The exceptional electrical conductivity of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) has been exploited for the preparation of conductive nanocomposites based on a large variety of insulating polymers. Among these, perfluoropolyether‐polyurethanes (PFPE‐PUs) represent a class of highly performing fluorinated materials with excellent water/oil repellency, chemical resistance, and substrate adhesion. The incorporation of highly conductive fillers to this class of highly performing materials allows them to be exploited in new technological and industrial fields where their unique properties need to be combined with the electrical conductivity or the electrostatic dissipation properties of carbon nanotubes. However, no studies have been presented so far on nanocomposites based on PFPE‐PUs and CNTs. In this work, polymer nanocomposites based on waterborne PFPE‐PUs and increasing amounts of carboxylated multiwall CNTs (COOH‐CNTs) were prepared and characterized for the first time. The effect of increasing concentration of COOH‐CNTs on the physical, mechanical, and surface properties of the nanocomposites was investigated by means of rheological measurements, dynamic mechanical analysis, thermal characterization, optical contact angle measurements, and scanning electron microscopy. In addition, electrical measurements showed that the highly insulating undoped PFPE‐PU system undergoes substantial modifications upon addition of COOH‐CNTs, leading to the formation of conductive nanocomposites with electrical conductivities as high as 1 S/cm. The results of this study demonstrate that the addition of COOH‐CNTs to PFPE‐PU systems represents a promising strategy to expand their possible use to technological applications where chemical stability, water/oil repellence and electrical conductivity are simultaneously required.

Isotactic polypropylene/carbon nanotube composites prepared by latex technology: Electrical conductivity study

Several series of nanocomposites were prepared using a latex-based process, the main step of which consisted of mixing an aqueous suspension of exfoliated carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and a polymer latex. In the present work, a systematic study on the electrical properties of fully amorphous (polystyrene - PS) as well as semi-crystalline (isotactic polypropylene - iPP) nanocomposites containing either single-wall (SWCNTs) or multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) has been conducted. Percolation thresholds as low as 0.05 wt.% or 0.1 wt.% were observed for SWCNT/iPP and MWCNT/iPP nanocomposites, respectively. The formation of a conductive percolating network at such a low CNT concentration is favored by the high intrinsic conductivity and the low viscosity of the polymer matrix. The electrical percolation threshold of the iPP-based system was found to be lower than its rheological percolation threshold. Beyond the percolation threshold, MWCNT-based nanocomposites generally exhibited higher conductivity levels than those based on SWCNTs, most probably due to the higher intrinsic conductivity of the MWCNTs as compared to that of the SWCNTs. These excellent electrical properties, associated with the strong nucleating effect of the CNTs reported earlier [1] and [2], render this type of nanocomposites extremely attractive from a technological point of view.     

Carbon Nanotube Reinforced Supramolecular Hydrogels for Bioapplications

Nanocomposite hydrogels based on carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are known to possess remarkable stiffness, electrical, and thermal conductivity. However, they often make use of CNTs as fillers in covalently cross‐linked hydrogel networks or involve direct cross‐linking between CNTs and polymer chains, limiting processability properties. Herein, nanocomposite hydrogels are developed, in which CNTs are fillers in a physically cross‐linked hydrogel. Supramolecular nanocomposites are prepared at various CNT concentrations, ranging from 0.5 to 6 wt%. Incorporation of 3 wt% of CNTs leads to an increase of the material's toughness by over 80%, and it enhances electrical conductivity by 358%, compared to CNT‐free hydrogel. Meanwhile, the nanocomposite hydrogels maintain thixotropy and processability, typical of the parent hydrogel. The study also demonstrates that these materials display remarkable cytocompatibility and support cell growth and proliferation, while preserving their functional activities. These supramolecular nanocomposite hydrogels are therefore promising candidates for biomedical applications, in which both toughness and electrical conductivity are important parameters.     

Morphology and conduction properties of graphite‐filled immiscible PVDF/PPgMA blends

Graphite was dispersed in immiscible polyvinylidene fluoride/maleated polypropylene (PVDF/PPgMA) blends to improve electrical and thermal conductive properties by building a double‐percolation structure. The morphology of PVDF/PPgMA blends was first investigated for several compositions by selective solvent extraction, scanning electron microscopy, and dynamic mechanical thermal analysis. Blends of PVDF and PPgMA were prepared in different relative fractions, and a PVDF/PPgMA ratio of 7/3 showed a well‐co‐continuous structure. From this blend, the morphology and properties of composites with different concentrations of graphite were investigated to prepare double‐percolated structures. Graphite was observed to selectively localize in the PPgMA phase. The electrical and thermal conductive properties of graphite‐containing blends were measured, showing enhanced conductivity for the double‐percolation structures compared with single‐polymer composites containing the same graphite loadings.

Morphology,rheological and crystallization behavior in non-covalently functionalized carbon nanotube reinforced poly(butylene succinate) nanocomposites with low percolation threshold

Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were non-covalently functionalized by surface wrapping of poly(sodium 4-styrenesulfonate) (PSS) with the aid of ultrasound. The functionalized CNTs were incorporated into poly(butylene succinate) (PBS) through solution coagulation to fabricate CNTs filled PBS nanocomposites. The morphologies of the PBS/CNT nanocomposites were studied by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and transmission electron microscope (TEM), and the effect of loading of functionalized CNT on the rheological behavior, electrical conductivity and mechanical properties of the nanocomposites was investigated systemically. SEM observation indicates that functionalized CNTs dispersed in PBS matrix without obvious aggregation and showed good interfacial adhesion with the PBS phase. TEM observation reveals that a CNT network was formed when the loading of CNTs increased from 0.1 to 0.3 wt%. Rheological investigation indicates the formation of a CNT network with a percolation threshold of only 0.3 wt%. Significant improvement in electrical conductivity occurred at CNT loading of 0.3 wt%, with the value of electrical conductivity increasing by six orders of magnitude compared to neat PBS. Differential scanning calorimetry indicates that the melt crystallization temperature of PBS was improved by ∼14 °C with addition of only 0.05 wt% functionalized CNTs. Tensile tests indicate that both the yield strength and Young's modulus of PBS were apparently reinforced by incorporation of functionalized CNTs, while the elongation at break was reduced gradually.     

Imparting Multifunctionality by Utilizing Biporosity in a Zirconium‐Based Metal–Organic Framework

In this work, we have synthesized nanocomposites made up of a metal–organic framework (MOF) and conducting polymers by polymerization of specialty monomers such as pyrrole (Py) and 3,4‐ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOT) in the voids of a stable and biporous Zr‐based MOF ( UiO‐66 ). FTIR and Raman data confirmed the presence of polypyrrole ( PPy ) and poly3,4‐ethylenedioxythiophene ( PEDOT ) in UiO‐66‐PPy and UiO‐66‐PEDOT nanocomposites, respectively, and PXRD data revealed successful retention of the structure of the MOF. HRTEM images showed successful incorporation of polymer fibers inside the voids of the framework. Owing to the intrinsic biporosity of UiO‐66 , polymer chains were observed to selectively occupy only one of the voids. This resulted in a remarkable enhancement (million‐fold) of the electrical conductivity while the nanocomposites retain 60–70 % of the porosity of the original MOF. These semiconducting yet significantly porous MOF nanocomposite systems exhibited ultralow thermal conductivity. Enhanced electrical conductivity with lowered thermal conductivity could qualify such MOF nanocomposites for thermoelectric applications.     

Poly(cetyl trimethylammonium 4-styrenesulfonate)-wrapped carbon nanotubes filled in polylactide nanocomposites: Fabrication and properties

Poly(cetyl trimethylammonium 4-styrenesulfonate) (PSS-CTA) was synthesized by the ionic exchange reaction of poly(sodium 4-styrenesulfonate) (PSS-Na) with cetyl trimethylammonium bromide (CTAB). It was then used as a surface modifier for carbon nanotubes (CNTs) to improve dispersion in and interfacial adhesion with a polylactide (PLA) matrix to fabricate high performance PLA/CNT nanocomposites via a solution precipitation method. The morphology, electrical conductivity, crystallization and mechanical properties of the PLA nanocomposites were investigated in detail. The results indicate that CNTs wrapped (coated) with a suitable amount of PSS-CTA dispersed in the PLA matrix homogeneously. The electrical conductivity of PLA was enhanced by up to 10 orders of magnitude with the incorporation of 1.0 wt% PSS-CTA-modified CNTs (mCNTs). The crystallization rate of PLA was improved due to the nucleation effect of mCNTs towards the crystallization of PLA, but the crystallization mechanisms and crystal structure of PLA remained unchanged with the incorporation of mCNTs. Both the tensile strength and toughness of PLA were improved by the incorporation of mCNTs, and the fracture behaviour of PLA changed from brittle e to ductile during tensile testing.     

Effect of dispersion and selective localization of carbon nanotubes on rheology and electrical conductivity of polyamide 6 (PA6), Polypropylene (PP), and PA6/PP nanocomposites

Nanocomposites were prepared by adding 1–3 vol % multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) to polyamide 6 (PA6), polypropylene (PP), and their co‐continuous blends of 60/40 and 50/50 volume compositions. Because of the good interaction and interfacial adhesion to the PA6, nanotubes were disentangled and distributed evenly through nanocomposites containing PA6. In contrast, lack of active interactions between the matrix and the CNTs resulted in poor tube dispersion in PP. These observations were then verified by studying the rheology and electrical conductivity of their respective nanocomposites. Absence of percolated CNT clusters and possible wrapping of the tubes by PA6 resulted in low electrical conductivity of PA6/CNT nanocomposites. On the other hand, despite the weak dispersion of the tubes, electrical conductivities of PP/CNT nanocomposites were much higher than all other counterparts. This could be the result of good three‐dimensional distribution of the agglomerated bundles and secondary aggregation of tubes in PP. Adding CNTs to blends of PA6/PP (60/40 and 50/50) resulted in almost full localization of carbon nanotubes in PA6, leading to their higher effective concentration. At the same CNT loadings, the blend nanocomposites had three to seven orders of magnitude higher electrical conductivity than pure PA6. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Polym. Sci., Part B: Polym.

Preparation of nylon MXD6/EG/CNTs ternary composites with excellent thermal conductivity and electromagnetic interference shielding effectiveness

In this article,hybrid fillers with different dimensions,namely,2-dimensional (2-D) expanded graphite (EG) and 1-dimensional (1-D) multi-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs),were added to aromatic nylon MXD6 matrix via melt-blending,to enhance its thermal and electrical conductivity as well as electromagnetic interference shielding effectiveness (EMI SE).For ternary composites of MXD6/EG/CNTs,the electrical conductivity reaches up nine orders of magnitude higher compared to that of the neat MXD6 sample,which tumed the polymer-based composites from an insulator to a conductor,and the thermal conductivity has been enhanced by 477％ compared with that of neat MXD6 sample.Meanwhile,the EMI SE of ternary composite reaches ～50 dB at the overall filler loading of only 18 wt％.This work can provide guidance for the preparation of polymer composites with excellent thermal and electrical conductivity via using hybrid filler.
