Uniform dispersion of nanotubes in thermoplastic polymer through thermal annealing

The formation of uniform dispersions from agglomerated carbon nanotubes in polymers is a major challenge for their use in composites. We show that agglomerated carbon nanotubes on top of a thermoplastic polymer are efficiently dispersed when annealing. Annealing is found to disperse carbon nanotubes surprisingly well. We image the dispersion of the nanotubes in the polymer matrix using electron microscopy and Raman mapping. The dispersion of nanotubes depends on whether the tubes are multi, double or single walled. Highly uniform dispersions are found for multi wall tubes while single and double wall carbon nanotubes show less uniform dispersions.     

A Raman Investigation of Carbon Nanotubes Embedded in a Soft Polymeric Matrix

Raman spectroscopy has been used to characterize multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) composites. Raman spectra of the MWNTs/SBR composites excited at different excitation wavelengths show that the dependence of the D band of carbon nanotubes on the laser energy has the same behavior as that of pure MWNTs. Raman spectra are shown to be sensitive to the state of dispersion of carbon nanotubes in the polymeric medium. On the other hand, analysis of Raman spectra of uniaxially stretched composites reveals a weak interface between the polymer and the nanotube surface.

Enhanced dispersion of carbon nanotube in silicone rubber assisted by graphene

We report a novel, scalable and inexpensive approach to fully disperse carbon nanotubes in silicone rubber by the addition of graphene. In comparison to graphene, the dispersion of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) in silicone rubber matrix is extremely difficult although both of them possess similar physical structure. The different dispersion behavior of graphene and MWNTs could be contributed to the difference in their interaction with polymer matrix and their geometry. Based on SEM, TEM and XRD analysis, we find that the dispersion of MWNTs in silicone rubber is dramatically improved by the addition of graphene. Graphene acts as a compatilizer since it shows strong interaction with both polymer matrix and MWNTs. This method provides a simple route to enhance the dispersion of carbon nanotubes and improve the electrical property of the polymer composites. The synergic effect of the hybrid materials may not to be limited to the applications in polymer composites.     

Effect of chemisorption on the interfacial bonding characteristics of carbon nanotube-polymer composites

The influence of chemical functionalization on the interfacial bonding characteristics of single-walled nanotubes (SWNTs) reinforced polymer composites was investigated using molecular mechanics and molecular dynamics simulations. The simulations show that functionalization of nanotubes at low densities of functionalized carbon atoms drastically increases their interfacial bonding and shear stress between the nanotubes and the polymer matrix, where chemisorption to as little as 5.0% of the nanotube carbon atoms increases the shear stress by about 1000%. This indicates that increasing the load transfer between SWNTs and a polymer matrix in a composite via chemisorption may be an effective way and chemical attachment of nanotubes during processing may be in part responsible for the enhanced stress transfer observed in some systems of the nanotube-polymer composites. Furthermore, this suggests the possibility to use functionalized nanotubes to effectively reinforce other kinds of polymer-based materials as well.     

Nanocomposites of poly(L‐lysine) and single‐walled carbon nanotubes

BACKGROUND: Single‐walled carbon nanotubes have inspired research owing to their promise in a broad range of applications. The dispersion of carbon nanotubes is of key importance for the utilization of this interesting material for various potential applications. RESULTS: A novel and simple method was developed to fabricate polymer composites with single‐walled carbon nanotubes based on a solid‐state reaction, in which the nanotubes were reacted with poly(L ‐lysine) using high‐speed vibration milling. Fourier transform infrared and UV‐visible spectroscopy as well as thermogravimetry were employed to characterize the novel composites. The morphology and the dispersion of the carbon nanotubes were determined using scanning and transmission electron microscopy. CONCLUSION: The resulting composites were dispersable in water and are expected to have great potential for both molecular‐level studies and device applications of nanotubes.

Numerical simulation of the effect of nanotube orientation on tensile modulus of carbon‐nanotube‐reinforced polymer composites

By correlating the curvature of carbon nanotubes to the orientation of fibers in a polymer, the effect of the curvature of nanotubes on the tensile modulus of carbon‐nanotube‐reinforced polymer composites was investigated with a numerical simulation method. The simulation results showed that the tensile modulus of a nanotube‐reinforced composite drops sharply when the nanotubes diverge from their orientation in the axial direction, and the presence of curved nanotubes in the polymer matrix significantly decreases the modulus of the composite. This finding could explain, partly, why in most cases, the predicted tensile modulus of a carbon‐nanotube‐reinforced composite, based on the assumption that the nanotubes are fully isolated and aligned in the polymer matrix, is much higher than the value obtained from experiments.
