In this work, synthesis and optical properties of a new composite based on poly(o-phenylenediamine) (POPD) fiber like structures, poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) spheres and double-walled carbon nanotubes (DWNTs) are reported. As increasing the PVDF weight in the mixture of the chemical polymerization reaction of o-phenylenediamine, the presence of the PVDF spheres onto the POPD fibers surface is highlighted by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The down-shift of the Raman line from 1421 cm−1 to 1415 cm−1 proves the covalent functionalization of DWNTs with the POPD-PVDF blends. The changes in the absorbance of the IR bands peaked around 840, 881, 1240 and 1402 cm−1 indicate hindrance steric effects induced of DWNTs to the POPD fiber like structures and the PVDF spheres, as a consequence of the functionalization process of carbon nanotubes with macromolecular compounds. The presence of the PVDF spheres onto the POPD fiber like structures surface induces a POPD photoluminescence (PL) quenching process. An additional PL quenching process of the POPD-PVDF blends is reported to be induced in the presence of DWNTs. The studies of anisotropic PL highlight a change of the angle of the binding of the PVDF spheres onto the POPD fiber like structures surface from 50.2° to 38° when the carbon nanotubes concentration increases in the POPD-PVDF/DWNTs composites mass up to 2 wt.%. 相似文献
An in situ lubrication dispersion method is developed to achieve electrical conductivity in PP containing a small amount of MWCNTs. Good dispersion of the MWCNTs in PP is observed even after a short mixing time because the interactions between the entangled nanotubes are reduced. By in situ lubrication dispersion, the electrical percolation threshold of the PP nanocomposite can be as low as 0.5–0.7 wt% MWCNT. Rheological data also support percolation at 0.5 wt% MWCNT. With 0.5 wt% MWCNT, the slope of G′ at low frequency approaches unity and shows non‐terminal behavior. The proposed dispersion method enhances the wetting of MWCNTs and improves MWCNT dispersion compared to both direct mixing of MWCNT powder with a polymer melt and conventional master batch dilution.
In this study, 3-mercaptopropyltriethoxysilane (MPTS) modified mesoporous silica based on multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs@mSiO2-MPTS) was successfully prepared. The adsorption material was characterized and used for adsorbing Hg(II) ions from aqueous solution. The equilibrium data conformed better to the Langmuir isotherm with maximum adsorption capacity calculated 349.65 mg/g at 40ºC. The kinetics analysis revealed the adsorption process fitted well with the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The thermodynamic parameters indicated the adsorption process was spontaneous and endothermic. All results obtained suggested that MWCNTs@mSiO2-MPTS may be employed as an efficient material for the adsorption or preconcentration of Hg(II) ions from aqueous solution. 相似文献
