膨胀石墨-碳纤维/尼龙三元导热复合材料制备

以尼龙6（PA6）为基体,膨胀石墨（EG）和碳纤维（CF）作为导热填料,采用熔融共混法制备了EG/PA6、CF/PA6和CF-EG/PA6导热复合材料。重点研究当固定导热填料（CF和EG）填充量为40wt%时,CF与EG不同的填充比例对CF与EG的接触方式及CF-EG/PA6复合材料的导热性和力学性能的影响。结果表明,相比单一CF填充,EG的加入有利于CF-EG/PA6复合材料热导率的增加;CF:EG质量比是25:15时的EG-CF/PA6三元复合材料,热导率可以达到2.554 W/（m·K）,是PA6的8倍,拉伸强度提高了125.34%,弯曲强度提高了119.8%,同时具有优异的耐热性。SEM结果表明,纤维状CF与蠕虫状EG片层在适当的填充比例下可以形成"面接触"的三维网络结构,这种三维网络结构不仅显著增大EG-CF/PA6复合材料的热导率,而且明显提高了其力学性能和耐热性能。为研制填充型导热高分子材料提供了一条新思路。      

Tensile and thermomechanical properties of short carbon fiber reinforced polyamide 6 composites

In this study, carbon fiber (CF) reinforced polyamide 6 (PA6) composites were prepared by using melt mixing method. Effects of fiber length and content, on the mechanical, thermal and morphological properties of CF reinforced PA6 composites were investigated. Fiber length distributions of composites were also determined by using an image analyzing program. It was seen that the maximum number of fibers were observed in the range of 0–50 μm. Mechanical test results showed that, increasing CF content increased the tensile strength, modulus and hardness values but decreased strain at break values of composites. DSC results showed that T_g and T_m values of composites were not changed significantly with increasing CF content and length. However, heat of fusion and the relative degree of crystallinity values of composites decreased with ascending CF content. DMA results revealed that storage modulus and loss modulus values of composites increased with increasing CF content.     

The effects of carbon nanotubes on mechanical and thermal properties of woven glass fibre reinforced polyamide-6 nanocomposites

This paper presents a preliminary investigation on the effects of incorporating carbon nanotubes (CNT) into polyamide-6 (PA6) on mechanical, thermal properties and fire performance of woven glass reinforced CNT/PA6 nanocomposite laminates. The samples were characterized by tensile and flexural tests, thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), heat distortion temperature (HDT) measurements, thermal conductivity and cone calorimeter tests. Incorporation of up to 2 wt% CNT in CNT/PA6/GF laminates improved the flexural stress of the laminates up to 36%, the thermal conductivity by approximately 42% and the ignition time and peak HRR time was delayed by approximately 31% and 118%, respectively.     

The effects of Clay on fire performance and thermal mechanical properties of woven glass fibre reinforced polyamide 6 nanocomposites

The effects of small amount of organically modified Clay (Clay) in polyamide 6 (PA6) on fire performance and thermal mechanical properties of Clay/PA6/woven glass fibres (GF) laminates are investigated by cone calorimeter test, dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMTA), and heat distort temperature (HDT) measurement. The mechanical properties, such as tensile and flexural properties of Clay/PA6 composites and Clay/PA6/GF laminates were also measured. Up to 3 wt.% Clay in a Clay/PA6/GF laminate with fibre volume fraction of 30 vol.% delayed the ignition time and peak heat release rate (PHRR) time by 55% and 118%, respectively, even though the value of the PHRR or the HDT was not significantly affected. 2 wt.% Clay increased flexural modulus and strength of the Clay/PA6/GF laminate by 10% and 16%, respectively, but more Clay did not increase the mechanical properties accordingly. Small amount of Clay does not affect glass fibre dominated properties, such as HDT, but do affect matrix dominated properties, and significantly affect the fire performance in terms of delaying ignition time and PHRR time. Optimization of laminate making process could benefit from additions of more Clay, therefore further improve fire performance and enhance mechanical properties.     

PAN-based carbon fibers/PMMA composites: thermal, dielectric, and DC electrical properties

The study deals with thermal, dielectric, and DC electrical properties of polyacrylonitrile (PAN)-based carbon fibers/poly(methyl methacrylate) composites. The polymer composites contain 0, 5, 10, 20 and 30 wt.% PAN-based carbon fibers. The thermal conductivity was studied as a function of filler content and temperature. It was found that the thermal conductivity is enhanced by addition of carbon fibers concentration and temperature. The dielectric properties were determined using impedance measurements. The results showed that the dielectric constant and dielectric loss are decreased with frequency, and increased with both temperature and fibers content. The DC electrical conductivity, temperature coefficient of resistance, and activation energy were studied as a function of fibers concentration in the temperature ranges 30–110?°C. It was found that the composites exhibit negative temperature coefficient of resistivity and enhancement of electrical conductivity with increasing temperature and carbon fibers concentration. The observed increase in the DC conductivity was explained according to the approach of conductive paths and connections between the carbon fibers.     

Preparation and performance of long carbon fiber reinforced polyamide 6 composites injection-molded from core/shell structured pellets

In this work, long carbon fiber reinforced polyamide 6 (LCF/PA6) composites were prepared by injection-molding a novel kind of core/shell pellets that were mass produced by a convenient and scalable process of melt impregnation assisted by a single screw extruder. The effect of fiber sizing treatment on fiber distribution, melt flowability, and mechanical properties of the LCF/PA6 composites was investigated. It was demonstrated that the melt flowability exhibited a continuous increase with the increase of sizing concentration while the mechanical properties showed peak values at a sizing concentration of 22 wt.%. In addition, the mechanical properties of the LCF/PA6 composites at the optimal sizing concentration were examined as a function of the content of carbon fibers. These findings may provide guidance for the studies aimed at developing long carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites with desirable mechanical properties.     

Effects of hybrid fillers on the electromagnetic interference shielding effectiveness of polyamide 6/conductive filler composites

The effects of hybrid conductive fillers on the electrical conductivity and electromagnetic interference shielding effectiveness (EMI SE) of polyamide 6 (PA6)/conductive filler composites were investigated. Nickel-coated carbon fiber (NCCF) was used as the main filler and multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT), nickel-coated graphite, carbon black, and titanium dioxide (TiO₂) were used as the second fillers in this study. From the results of morphological studies of the PA6/NCCF/second filler composites, NCCF easily formed an electrical pathway since it has a high aspect ratio and random orientation, and the second fillers seemed to disperse evenly in the PA6 matrix. The electrical conductivity and EMI SE of the PA6/NCCF composites were increased with the increase of NCCF content. Among the second fillers used in this study, TiO₂ appeared to be the most effective second filler with regard to increasing the EMI SE and electrical conductivity of the PA6/NCCF composite. This was probably because TiO₂ has a high dielectric constant with dominant dipolar polarization, consequently leading to greater shielding effectiveness due to the absorption of electromagnetic waves. From the above results of EMI SE and electrical conductivity, it was suggested that the TiO₂ produced a synergistic effect when it was hybridized with the NCCF of the PA6/NCCF/TiO₂ composites.     

Effects of carbon nanotubes and carbon fiber reinforcements on thermal conductivity and ablation properties of carbon/phenolic composites

The ablation properties and thermal conductivity of carbon nanotube (CNT) and carbon fiber (CF)/phenolic composites were evaluated for different filler types and structures. It was found that the mechanical and thermal properties of phenolic-polymer matrix composites were improved significantly by the addition of carbon materials as reinforcement. The concentrations of CF and CNT reinforcing materials used in this study were 30 vol% and 0.5 wt%, respectively. The thermal conductivity and thermal diffusion of the different composites were observed during ablation testing, using an oxygen–kerosene (1:1) flame torch. The thermal conductivity of CF mat/phenolic composites was higher than that of random CF/phenolic composites. Both CF mat and CNT/phenolic composites exhibited much better thermal conductivity and ablation properties than did neat phenolic resin. The more conductive carbon materials significantly enhanced the heat conduction and dissipation from the flame location, thereby minimizing local thermal damage.     

PA6/MgO导热复合材料的性能研究

以聚酰胺6(PA6)为基体,以超细氧化镁(MgO)为导热填料,利用硅烷偶联剂对MgO改性,制备了PA6/MgO导热复合材料。考察了不同MgO用量对其导热性能、力学性能以及熔体流动性的影响。结果表明:改性过的MgO在PA6基体中分散均匀,PA6/MgO复合材料的导热系数和拉伸强度随着MgO用量的增加而增大,其中在60%MgO用量时达到最大值;冲击强度、断裂伸长率以及熔体流动性都随着MgO用量的增加而减小。因此选用60%MgO用量制备的PA6/MgO导热复合材料,导热性能最佳。     

Thermal conductivity and mechanical properties of various cross-section types carbon fiber-reinforced composites

In this work, to study the characteristics of carbon fiber-reinforced composites with different fiber cross-section types, such as round, C, and hollow-shape, the thermal conductivity and mechanical properties were investigated and compared. The thermal conductivity was measured by means of steady-state method to the parallel and perpendicular direction of reinforcing fibers. The mechanical properties were evaluated by a variety of test methods i.e., flexural, interlaminar shear strength, and impact strength. As a result, it was found that the thermal conductivity was greatly depended on the cross-section type of the reinforcing fibers, as well as, the reinforcing orientation. Especially, the anisotropy factor (k _///k ) and the thermal diffusivity factor (_///) of C and hollow-type carbon fiber-reinforced composites showed about two times higher values than those of round-type one. Also, the mechanical results showed that C and hollow-type carbon fibers-reinforced composites had higher values than those of round-type one in all mechanical tested. These results were probably due to the basic properties of non-circular (C and hollow-type) carbon fiber which can improve interfacial binding forces and widen interfacial contact area between reinforcement and matrix, resulting in effectively transferring the applied stress.

Preparation and characterization of poly(arylene ether nitriles)/glass fibers/BaTiO3 ternary composites

Poly(arylene ether nitriles) (PEN) copolymers PEN (HQ/RS) was synthesized using 2,6-dicholorobenzonitrile (DCBN) with equal molar of hydroquinone (HQ) and resorcin (RS). Composites of PEN reinforced by glass fiber (GF) and nanometer-sized BaTiO₃ particle were prepared through melt blending. Both mechanical and thermal properties of the composites were found improved with the increase of GF as well as BaTiO₃ contents. For PEN/GF/BaTiO₃ ternary composites, the best mechanical properties were found when the content for GF and BaTiO₃ is 8 wt.% and 22 wt.%, respectively. The fractured surfaces of PEN/BaTiO₃ composites were examined with SEM and show a characteristic of ductile fracture. The heat distortion temperature (HDT) of 35 wt.% GF reinforced composite is 241 °C, nearly an increase ca. 100 °C compared to that of the pristine resin.     

Electrically Conductive Carbon Nanofiber Composites with High-Density Polyethylene and Glass Fibers

Carbon nanofibers are being investigated for incorporation into composites to improve mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties. The difficulties in making such composites are issues of dispersion of the nanofiber and wetting of the nanofibers by the matrix. The processing methods developed to date tend to be complex, involving multiple steps. This paper reports on a study to make electrically conductive composites with small volume fraction of vapor-grown carbon nanofibers (VGCF). The matrix is a high-density polyethylene (HDPE); the effect of adding glass fibers to this composite is also studied. Certain types of the VGCF fibers did not produce conductive composites with standard mixing techniques; however, VGCF nanofibers heat treated with a post-processing surface treatment produced conductive composites without extensive or vigorous dispersion techniques. The results indicate that surface treatments and dispersion methods are important factors in producing conductive composites. It is demonstrated that small volume fractions of nanofiber can be used to produce conductive composites without extensive processing steps.

The effect of zirconium addition on the microstructure and properties of chopped carbon fiber/carbon composites

Carbon/carbon composites containing zirconium were prepared using chopped carbon fiber, mesophase pitch and Zr powder by the traditional process including molding, carbonization, densification and graphitization. The influence of Zr on the microstructure and properties of the composites were investigated. Results show that Zr can improve the interface bonding, promote more perfect and larger crystallites and enhance the conductive/mechanical properties of the composites. The high in-plane thermal conductivity of 464 W/(m K) and excellent bending strength of 83.6 MPa was obtained for a Zr content of 13.9 wt% at heat treatment temperature(HTT) of 2500 °C. However the conductive/mechanical properties of the composites decrease dramatically for an higher HTT of 3000 °C. SEM micrograph of the fracture surface for the composites shows that lower disorder crystallite arrangement of fiber and carbon matrix come into being in the composites during HTT of 3000 °C, which should be responsible for the low properties. Correlation between the content of Zr and the microstructure and properties are discussed.     

Thermally conductive polyamide 6/carbon filler composites based on a hybrid filler system

Abstract

We explored the use of a hybrid filler consisting of graphite nanoplatelets (GNPs) and single walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) in a polyamide 6 (PA 6) matrix. The composites containing PA 6, powdered GNP, and SWCNT were melt-processed and the effect of filler content in the single filler and hybrid filler systems on the thermal conductivity of the composites was examined. The thermal diffusivities of the composites were measured by the standard laser flash method. Composites containing the hybrid filler system showed enhanced thermal conductivity with values as high as 8.8 W (m · K)^?1, which is a 35-fold increase compared to the thermal conductivity of pure PA 6. Thermographic images of heat conduction and heat release behaviors were consistent with the thermal conductivity results, and showed rapid temperature jumps and drops, respectively, for the composites. A composite model based on the Lewis–Nielsen theory was developed to treat GNP and SWCNT as two separate types of fillers. Two approaches, the additive and multiplicative approaches, give rather good quantitative agreement between the predicted values of thermal conductivity and those measured experimentally.
