Mechanical and Thermal Properties of Amine Functionalized Multi-walled Carbon Nanotubes Epoxy-Based Nanocomposite

This study is focused on fabrication and characterization of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) reinforced epoxy composites to understand variation of mechanical and thermal properties. Samples were prepared by infusing both amine functionalized and non-functionalized MWCNT into commercially available EL-350 epoxy resin. Flexure, quasi-static compression and high strain rate (HSR) tests were performed with 0.1%, 0.2% and 0.3% of MWCNTs to observe variation in mechanical properties. The optimum loading was found at 0.2%. Nanocomposites with amine functionalized MWCNTs showed better properties compared to that with unmodified MWCNTs. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis was performed to confirm an improvement in dispersion with functionalization. Thermal properties were investigated by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA).     

Critical Exponents of Gelation and Conductivity in Polyacrylamide Gels Doped by Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes

Polyacrylamide (PAM) doped by multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWNT) gels were prepared with different amounts of MWNTs varying in the range between 0.1 and 15 wt%. The PAM–MWNT composite gels were characterized by the steady state fluorescence technique (SSF). The alternative electrical conductivity (AC) of PAM–MWNT composite gels was measured by the dielectric spectroscopy technique. Observations around the gel point, t _gel for PAM–MWNTs composite gels showed that the gel fraction exponent β obeyed the percolation result. The critical exponent r of AC electrical conductivity for the composite PAM–MWNT gel was also measured and found to be about 2.0, which agrees with a random resistor network.     

Formation of graphitic carbon nanofiber (GCNF)/silica gel composites using surface-functionalized GCNFs and sol-gel processing

Reaction of herring-bone graphitic carbon nanofibers (GCNFs) containing surface-bound acid chloride functional groups with 3-aminopropyl triethoxysilane (APTES) leads to amide condensation and formation of carbon nanofibers surface-derivatized with pendant Si—OEt and Si—OH functional groups, GCNF-[C(O)NH(CH₂)₃Si(OEt)(OH)₂] _x . Addition of these GCNFs containing covalently bound 3-amidopropylsilyl linker molecules to silica sol-gel formulations gives GCNF/silica xerogels as dry black powders. Covalent binding of the linker molecule across the GCNF/ceramic interface is indicated by intermediate formation of especially stable GCNF/silica sol dispersions and the isolation of uniformly black GCNF/silica xerogel powders. SEM micrographs reveal excellent wetting of the carbon nanofiber surface by the silica xerogel matrix, and the presence of amido-carbonyl groups is confirmed from infrared spectral data. TGA plots show mass losses consistent with dehydration of the gel matrix and thermal decomposition of linker molecules at elevated temperature.

RgCo双金属催化剂的研究IV. Rh2Co2/Al2O3上的吸附中心类型及吸附性能

利用CO和NO作为双探针分子对Rh2Co2/Al2O3的吸附中心类型和吸附性能进行了详细的研究。结果表明Rh2Co2/Al2O3上存在Rh上的孪生和桥式CO吸附中心以及Co上的线式CO吸附中心。其中Rh上的孪生和桥式CO吸附中心对CO和NO的吸附性能与Rh4/Al2O3上的孪生和桥式CO中心相似。Co上的线式CO吸附中心以预吸附的CO能被NO取代, 预吸附的NO不能被CO取代而区别于Rh4/Al2O3上的Rh的线式CO吸附中心; 又以既能吸附CO又能吸附NO而不同于Co2/Al2O3和Rh+Co/Al2O3上的Co中心。与母体簇的结构相关联, 表明H2还原后的Rh2Co2/Al2O3上Rh2Co2(CO)12簇结构仍保持, 且Rh-Co相互作用强。
