利用石墨烯微片（GNPs）表面羟基与硅烷偶联剂反应,并通过原子转移自由基聚合（ATRP）方法在GNPs表面接枝了聚甲基丙烯酸甲酯（PMMA）。应用扫描电子显微镜、透射电子显微镜、红外光谱和X射线衍射方法分析了化学接枝前后GNPs的微观结构变化。将接枝PMMA的GNPs加入环氧树脂中,研究其对环氧树脂力学性能与尺寸稳定性的影响。研究结果表明,与原始GNPs相比,表面接枝PMMA的GNPs对环氧树脂力学性能的增强作用更明显。添加质量分数为0.5%的GNPs-PMMA可以使环氧树脂拉伸强度和模量分别提高17.4%和75%,弯曲强度和模量也分别增加了6%和12%,同时可以使环氧树脂在低于玻璃化转变温度的线性热膨胀系数（CTE）降低25%。     

A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF THE PREPARATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF AROMATIC AND ALIPHATIC BISMALEIMIDES TO PRODUCE MODIFIED SILICONIZED EPOXY INTERCROSSLINKED MATRICES FOR ENGINEERING APPLICATIONS

A novel hybrid intercrosslinked network of hydroxyl-terminated polydimethylsiloxane modified epoxy and bismaleimides [N,N'-bismaleimido-4,4'-diphenylmethane and 1,6-bis(maleimido)hexane] matrix systems were developed. Epoxy resin was modified with 5, 10, and 15% (wt%) of hydroxyl-terminated polydimethylsiloxane using γ-aminopropyltriethoxysilane as crosslinking agent and dibutyltindilaurate as catalyst. The reaction between hydroxyl-terminated polydimethylsiloxane and epoxy resin was confirmed by IR spectral studies. The siliconized epoxy systems were further modified with 5, 10, and 15% (wt%) of both aromatic and aliphatic bismaleimides separately. The castings and E-glass fiber-reinforced composites prepared were characterized for their mechanical properties. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) of the matrix samples were also performed to determine the glass transition temperature (T_g) and thermal degradation temperature of the hybrid intercrosslinked systems. Data obtained from mechanical studies and thermal characterization indicate that the introduction of siloxane into epoxy resin improves the toughness and thermal stability, with reduction in strength and modulus values. The incorporation of aromatic bismaleimide into epoxy resin improved both tensile strength and thermal properties, whereas it was observed that the incorporation up to 5% of aliphatic bismaleimide into epoxy resin decreased the stress-strain value and above 5% increased the strength properties. However, the introduction of both aromatic and aliphatic bismaleimides (aromatic and aliphatic) into siliconized epoxy resin influenced both mechanical and thermal properties according to the percentage content.     

疏水性气相SiO2改性环氧树脂的耐电晕性能

采用砂磨机将疏水性气相SiO₂纳米粒子分散到无溶剂环氧树脂（Epoxy,EP）中,经加热固化后制备了不同掺杂量的疏水性气相SiO₂/EP复合材料,通过XRD检测和SEM表征,证实疏水性气相SiO₂纳米粒子以无定形态均匀分散在EP中。疏水性气相SiO₂/EP复合材料的理化性能测试结果表明:其热稳定性、介电常数、介电损耗和电导率均随纳米SiO₂粒子掺杂量的增加而有所升高;纳米SiO₂粒子掺杂量为2wt%时,击穿场强达到最大值为24.66 kV/mm,较纯EP材料提高了21.35%;疏水性气相SiO₂/EP复合材料耐电晕寿命随纳米SiO₂粒子掺杂量增加而增加。在室温、80 kV/mm电场强度下,纳米SiO₂粒子掺杂量为8wt%时,疏水性气相SiO₂/EP耐电晕寿命可达42.7 h,是纯EP的18.9倍。      

基于纳米压痕法的埃洛石纳米管/环氧复合材料力学性能表征

采用球磨法在环氧树脂中分散了不同质量分数(0、5wt%和10wt%)的埃洛石纳米管(HNTs),通过哌啶固化剂固化,制备了HNTs/环氧树脂复合材料,并利用纳米压痕法测试了HNTs/环氧树脂复合材料的弹性模量、硬度和蠕变性能。SEM和TEM观测表明:HNTs在环氧树脂中分散情况较好。纳米压痕实验结果表明:在不牺牲HNTs/环氧树脂复合材料弹性模量、硬度以及玻璃化转变温度的基础上,HNTs明显提高了环氧树脂基复合材料的抗蠕变性能,这主要是由于HNTs和环氧基分子链形成了新的交联结构,增加了材料的交联密度,刚性纳米粒子限制了环氧基分子链的活动性。     

Preparation,microstructure and thermal mechanical properties of epoxy/crude clay nanocomposites

To improve the performance/cost ratio of epoxy/clay nanocomposites, epoxy resin was reinforced with crude clay with the help of a silane modifier. The epoxy/crude clay nanocomposites were produced through a recently developed “slurry compounding” approach. The microstructure of the nanocomposites was characterized with X-ray diffraction (XRD), optical microscopy and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The thermal mechanical properties were studied with dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). It has been shown that only 5 wt% of silane modifier is required to facilitate the dispersion and exfoliation of crude clay in epoxy matrix. The storage moduli and thermal stability were improved with the addition of crude clay.     

Fabrication and characterization of carbon fiber reinforced clay/epoxy composite

In this study, dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and flexural tests were performed on unfilled, 1, 2, 3, and 4 wt% clay filled SC-15 epoxy to identify the effect of clay weight fraction on thermal and mechanical properties of the epoxy matrix. The flexural results indicate that 2.0 wt% clay filled epoxy showed the highest improvement in flexural strength. DMA studies also revealed that 2.0 wt% system exhibit the highest storage modulus and T _g as compared to neat and other weight fraction. However, TGA results show that thermal stability of composite is insensitive to the clay content. Based on these results, the nanophased epoxy with 2 wt% clay was then utilized in a vacuum assisted resin transfer molding set up with carbon fabric to fabricate laminated composites. The effectiveness of clay addition on thermal and mechanical properties of composites has been evaluated by TGA, DMA, tensile, flexural, and fatigue test. 5 °C increase in glass transition temperature was found in nanocomposite, and the tensile and flexural strengths improved by 5.7 and 13.5 %, respectively as compared to the neat composite. The fatigue strength was also improved significantly. Based on the experimental result, a linear damage model combined with the Weibull distribution function has been established to describe static failure processing of neat and nanophased carbon/epoxy. The simulated stress–strain curves from the model are in good agreement with the test data. Simulated results show that damage processing of neat and nanophased carbon/epoxy described by bimodal Weibull distribution function.

The enhanced microwave absorption property of CoFe(2)O(4) nanoparticles coated with a Co(3)Fe(7)-Co nanoshell by thermal reduction

CoFe(2)O(4) nanoparticles were fabricated by a sol-gel method and then were coated with Co(3)Fe(7)-Co by means of a simple reduction process at different temperatures under 2% H(2) with the protection of argon to generate the dielectric-core/metallic-shell structure. The optimum reflection loss (RL) calculated from permittivity and permeability of the 80 wt% CoFe(2)O(4)/Co(3)Fe(7)-Co and 20 wt% epoxy resin composites reached - 34.4 dB, which was much lower than that of unreduced CoFe(2)O(4) and epoxy resin composites, at 2.4 GHz with a matching thickness of 4.0 mm. Moreover the RL exceeding - 10 dB in the maximum frequency range of 2.2-16 GHz was achieved for a thickness of composites of 1.0-4.5 mm with 600?°C thermal reduction process. The improved microwave absorption properties are a consequence of a proper electromagnetic match and the enhanced magnetic loss besides its dielectric loss due to the existence of the core/shell structure in CoFe(2)O(4) composites. Thus, the reductive CoFe(2)O(4) nanoparticles have great potential for being a highly efficient microwave absorber.

Effect of silica nanoparticles on compressive properties of an epoxy polymer

The effect of nanosilica on compressive properties of an Epikote 828 epoxy at room temperature was studied. A 40 wt% nanosilica/epoxy masterbatch (nanopox F400) was used to prepare a series of epoxy based nanocomposites with 5–25 wt% nanosilica content. Static uniaxial compression tests were conducted on cubic and cylindrical specimens to study the compressive stress–strain response, failure mechanisms and damage characteristics of the pure and nanomodified epoxy. It was found that the compressive stiffness and strength were improved with increasing nanosilica content without significant reduction in failure strain. The presence of nanosilica improved ductility and promoted higher plastic hardening behaviour after yielding in comparison with the unmodified resin system. This result suggested that nanoparticles introduced additional mechanisms of energy absorption to enhance the compressive properties without reducing the deformation to failure.     

Strength of unidirectional glass/epoxy composite with silica nanoparticle-enhanced matrix

A technique was developed to improve the strength of unidirectional composites by enhancing the matrix properties through nanoparticles infusion. A commercially available standard DGEBA epoxy with silica nanoparticles (Nanopox F 400) was used as the matrix to make fiber composites. The silica nanoparticles in Nanopox were grown in situ via a sol–gel process resulting in a concentration of 40 wt% which was later diluted to 15 wt% particle loading. TEM images showed very uniform dispersion of silica nanoparticles with a size distribution of about 20 nm. Compression test revealed a substantial improvement (40%) in elastic modulus of the modified epoxy. A modified vacuum assisted resin transfer molding process was used to fabricate unidirectional E-glass fiber reinforced silica/epoxy nanocomposites. Inclusion of silica nanoparticles dramatically increased the longitudinal compressive strength and moderately increased the longitudinal and transverse tensile strengths. A microbuckling model was used to verify the compression testing results.     

激光对碳纤维及碳纤维/环氧树脂复合材料性能影响

采用高能激光束对聚丙烯腈（PAN）基碳纤维进行表面改性。利用SEM、EDS、FTIR、XRD、万能试验机等表征手段,对改性前后碳纤维微观形态、成分变化、物相结构、力学性能进行表征,系统地研究了激光束对碳纤维微观组织变化、性能变化等的影响规律,探索激光束对碳纤维的作用机制。结果表明,碳纤维经激光表面改性后,其表面的粗糙度和比表面积增加,碳纤维的浸润性得到提升,且激光束的功率越高、扫描速度越低,碳纤维浸润性越好。改性后的碳纤维化学成分、微观结构及官能团种类没有改变;改性后的碳纤维官能团种类没有改变,说明激光改性过程主要以物理过程为主;激光改性没有改变碳纤维的微观结构,改性后微晶尺寸略有减小,有利于改善碳纤维与环氧树脂的界面黏结性能。激光表面改性碳纤维/环氧树脂复合材料的拉伸强度和冲击强度均有不同程度的提高,当碳纤维质量分数为0.2wt%、激光改性功率为150 W时,碳纤维/环氧树脂复合材料的拉伸强度提高了59%,冲击强度提高了52%。

Mechanical property characterization of carbon nanofiber/epoxy nanocomposites reinforced by GMA-grafted UHMWPE fibers

Carbon nanofibers (CNFs) dispersed epoxy resin was reinforced with unidirectional glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) grafted ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) fibers. Tensile tests were performed on unfilled, and CNF filled epoxy to identify the effect of adding CNFs on the mechanical properties of epoxy. The highest improvement in strength was obtained with 1 wt% of CNF. Tensile and flexural properties improvements in three-component nanocomposites were confirmed by obtained results. The combined use of CNFs and GMA-grafted UHMWPE fibers leads to a significant synergy in the mechanical properties of nanocomposites. The mechanisms of such synergism were analyzed by fracture studies using scanning electron microscopy.     

The thermal conductivity of embedded nano-aluminum nitride-doped multi-walled carbon nanotubes in epoxy composites containing micro-aluminum nitride particles

Amino-functionalized nano-aluminum nitride (nano-AlN) particles were doped onto the surfaces of chlorinated multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) to act as fillers in thermally conducting composites. These synthesized materials were embedded in epoxy resin. Then, the untreated micro-aluminum nitride (micro-AlN) particles were added to this resin, whereby the composites filled with nano-AlN-doped MWCNTs (0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2 wt%) and micro-AlN (25.2, 44.1, 57.4 vol%) were fabricated. As a result, the thermal diffusivity and conductivity of all composites continuously improved with increasing nano-AlN-doped MWCNT content and micro-AlN filler loading. The thermal conductivity reached its maximum, which was 31.27 times that of the epoxy alone, when 2 wt% nano-AlN-doped MWCNTs and 57.4 vol% micro-AlN were added to the epoxy resin. This result is due to the high aspect ratio of the MWCNTs and the surface polarity of the doped nano-AlN and micro-AlN particles, resulting in the improved thermal properties of the epoxy composite.     

Single-walled carbon nanotube incorporated novel three phase carbon/epoxy composite with enhanced properties

In the present work, single-walled carbon nanotubes were dispersed within the matrix of carbon fabric reinforced epoxy composites in order to develop novel three phase carbon/epoxy/single-walled carbon nanotube composites. A combination of ultrasonication and high speed mechanical stirring at 2000 rpm was used to uniformly disperse carbon nanotubes in the epoxy resin. The state of carbon nanotube dispersion in the epoxy resin and within the nanocomposites was characterized with the help of optical microscopy and atomic force microscopy. Pure carbon/epoxy and three phase composites were characterized for mechanical properties (tensile and compressive) as well as for thermal and electrical conductivity. Fracture surfaces of composites after tensile test were also studied in order to investigate the effect of dispersed carbon nanotubes on the failure behavior of composites. Dispersion of only 0.1 wt% nanotubes in the matrix led to improvements of 95% in Young's modulus, 31% in tensile strength, 76% in compressive modulus and 41% in compressive strength of carbon/epoxy composites. In addition to that, electrical and thermal conductivity also improved significantly with addition of carbon nanotubes.
