In contrast to polymeric composites, the role of interface/interphase has been widely acknowledged to govern their overall properties and performance. Environmental temperature has substantial effects on the interfacial durability of polymer nanocomposites. In this regard, present investigation has been carried out to study the mechanical performance of pristine (UCNT) and carboxylic functionalized CNT (FCNT) embedded epoxy nanocomposites under different elevated temperatures. Higher flexural strength and modulus of FCNT‐EP nanocomposite were recorded over UCNT‐EP and neat epoxy at room temperature environment. Flexural testing at elevated temperatures revealed a higher rate of strength degradation in polymer nanocomposites over neat epoxy. Postfailure analysis of specimens has been conducted to understand the alteration in failure micro‐mechanisms upon UCNTs and FCNTs addition in epoxy. Variation in viscoelastic properties with temperature has been studied from dynamic mechanical thermal analysis and significant reduction in glass transition temperature (Tg) is observed for nanocomposites. In the studied temperature and stress combinations, FCNT‐EP nanocomposites exhibited better creep resistance over UCNT‐EP and neat epoxy. Room temperature strengthening, elevated temperature strength degradations, improved creep resistance and reduction in Tg in nanocomposites over neat polymer have been discussed in terms of dynamic nature and gradient structure of CNT/epoxy interphase. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Epoxy‐based nanocomposites with 2, 5, and 7 wt% of montmorillonite (MMT) nanoclay were prepared using high shear melt mixing technique. The microstructural features of the nanocomposites were investigated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The thermal and mechanical properties were measured using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA), and dynamic mechanical analyzer (DMA). Further, the effect of voltage, temperature, seawater aging on the electrical conductivity (σDC) of the nanocomposites was also measured. To understand the free volume behavior upon filler loading, and to observe the connectivity between microstructure and other properties, positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy was used. The TEM results revealed that MMT nanoparticles were uniformly dispersed in the epoxy matrix. Experimental results showed that the inclusion of 2 wt% MMT nanofiller increased the Tg, electrical conductivity, thermal stability, modulus, free volume of the epoxy nanocomposite significantly. This is well explained from the results of Tg (DSC and DMA), thermal stability, TGA residue, free volume analysis, and electrical conductivity. POLYM. ENG.

We report in this article the results of nanosilica (SiO2)‐filled epoxy composites with different loadings and their electrical, thermal, mechanical, and free‐volume properties characterized with different techniques. The morphological features were studied by transmission electron microscopy, and differential scanning calorimetry was used to investigate the glass‐transition temperature (Tg) of the nanocomposites. The properties of the nanocomposites showed that the electrical resistivity (ρ), ultimate tensile strength, and hardness of the composites increased with SiO2 weight fraction up to 10 wt % and decreased thereafter; this suggested that the beneficial properties occurred up to this weight fraction. The temperature and seawater aging had a negative influence on ρ; that is, ρ decreased with increases in the temperature and aging. The free‐volume changes (microstructural) in the composite systems correlated with seawater aging but did not correlate so well with the mechanical properties. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Our previous studies showed that herringbone graphitic GNFs surface‐derivatized with reactive linker molecules bearing pendant primary amino functional groups capable of binding covalently to epoxy resins. Of special importance, herringbone GNFs derivatized with 3,4′‐oxydianiline (GNF‐ODA) were found to react with neat butyl glycidyl ether to form mono‐, di‐, tri‐, and tetra‐glycidyl oligomers covalently coupled to the ODA pendant amino group. The resulting reactive GNF‐ODA (butyl glycidyl)n nanofibers, r‐GNF‐ODA, are especially well suited for reactive, covalent incorporation into epoxy resins during thermal curing. Based on these studies, nanocomposites reinforced by the r‐GNF‐ODA nanofibers at nanofiber loadings of 0.15–1.3 wt% were prepared. Flexural property of cured r‐GNF‐ODA/epoxy nanocomposites were measured through three‐point‐bending tests. Thermal properties, including glass transition temperature (Tg) and coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) for the nanocomposites, were investigated using thermal mechanical analysis. The nanocomposites containing 0.3 wt% of the nanofibers gives the highest mechanical properties. At this 0.3‐wt% fiber loading, the flexural strength, modulus and breaking strain of the particular nanocomposite are increased by about 26, 20, and 30%, respectively, compared to that of pure epoxy matrix. Moreover, the Tg value is the highest for this nanocomposite, 14°C higher than that of pure epoxy. The almost constant change in CTEs before and after Tg, and very close to the change of pure epoxy, is in agreement with our previous study results on a chemical bond existing between the r‐GNF‐ODA nanofibers and epoxy resin in the resulting nanocomposites.

The morphological structure, glass transition, mechanical properties, and dynamic mechanical properties of star‐shaped solution‐polymerized styrene‐butadiene rubber (SSBR) synthesized by a multifunctional organic lithium initiator and SiO2‐SSBR composite (N‐SSBR) prepared through adding a small amount of nanosilica modified by silane coupling agent to star‐shaped SSBR synthetic solution and co‐coagulating, and their nanocomposites filled with 20 phr nanosilica were investigated, respectively. The results showed that the silica particles were well dispersed with nanosize in N‐SSBR, which glass‐transition temperature (Tg) was 2°C higher than SSBR. N‐SSBR/SiO2 nanocomposite exhibited lower Payne effect and internal friction loss, higher mechanical properties, and its Tg was 2°C higher than SSBR/SiO2 nanocomposite. N‐SSBR might promote the dispersion of nanosilica powder in matrix and could be applied to green tire tread materials. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2008 相似文献

Mechanical behavior of SiO2 nanoparticle‐epoxy matrix composites was investigated via finite element analysis with an emphasis on the nanofiller‐interphase debonding effect using a three‐dimensional nanoscale representative volume element (RVE). The new model, in which a cohesive zone material (CZM) layer is considered as an inclusion‐interphase bonding, can be applied to polymer nanocomposites reinforced by inclusions of different forms, including spherical, cylindrical, and platelet shapes. Upon validation by experimental data, the model was used to study the effects of interphase properties, nanoparticle size, and inclusion volume fraction on the mechanical properties of nanocomposites. According to the results, taking into account the inclusion‐interphase debonding provides more precise results compared with perfect bonding, especially in nanocomposites with nanoparticles of smaller size. Moreover, the outcomes disclosed that the amount of changes in the elastic modulus by particle size variation is higher when the relative thickness (the interphase thickness to the particle diameter ratio) increases. For relative thicknesses lower than a critical value, the particle size and the interphase properties have negligible effect on the elastic modulus of the nanocomposite, and the elastic modulus of nanocomposite mostly depends on nanofiller content.

Novel organoclays were synthesized by several kinds of phosphonium cations to improve the dispersibility in matrix resin of composites and accelerate the curing of matrix resin. The possibility of the application for epoxy/clay nanocomposites and the thermal, mechanical, and adhesive properties were investigated. Furthermore, the structures and morphologies of the epoxy/clay nanocomposites were evaluated by transmission electron microscopy. Consequently, the corporation of organoclays with different types of phosphonium cations into the epoxy matrix led to different morphologies of the organoclay particles, and then the distribution changes of silicate layers in the epoxy resin influenced the physical properties of the nanocomposites. When high‐reactive phosphonium cations with epoxy groups were adopted, the clay particles were well exfoliated and dispersed. The epoxy/clay nanocomposite realized the high glass‐transition temperature (Tg) and low coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) in comparison with those of neat epoxy resin. On the other hand, in the case of low‐reactive phoshonium cations, the dispersion states of clay particles were intercalated but not exfoliated. The intercalated clay did not influence the Tg and CTE of the nanocomposite. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2011 相似文献

Multifunctional high performance functionalized graphene sheets (FGSs) based epoxy nanocomposites were investigated to understand the feasibility that these FGSs‐epoxy nanocomposites can be applied to cryotank composite applications. The FGSs were successfully synthesized from graphite flakes through preparing graphite oxides by oxidizing graphite flakes first and next, thermally exfoliating the formed graphite oxides. These high performance FGSs were next incorporated into epoxy matrix resin system to generate the uniformly dispersed FGSs reinforced epoxy nanocomposites. The resultant FGSs‐epoxy nanocomposites significantly enhanced resin strength and toughness about 30–80% and 200–700% at room and low temperatures of −130°C, respectively, and reduced the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) of polymer resin at both below and above Tg about 25% at loading of 1.6 wt% FGSs, and increased Tg of polymer resin about 8°C at low loading of 0.4 wt% FGSs without deteriorating their good processability. We found that these significantly improved properties of FGSs‐reinforced epoxy nanocomposite were closely associated with high surface area and wrinkled structure of the FGSs. The further optimization will result the high performance FGSs‐epoxy nanocomposite suitable for use in the next generation multifunctional cryotank carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composite applications, where better microcrack resistance and mechanical and dimensional stability are needed.

The effect of three different alkylammonium‐modified montmorillonite on morphological and mechanical properties of glassy epoxy‐amine nanocomposites is reported. Small amounts of clays <10 phr (part per hundred of resin) were used in each system of nanocomposite. The morphology of the prepared nanocomposites was performed by means of X‐ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) was used to investigate the glass transition temperatures (Tg). Mechanical properties were based on tensile characteristics (Young's modulus), impact strength, and fracture toughness. The measured moduli were compared to theoretical predictions. Scanning electron microscopy was used to study the morphological structure of the fracture surfaces of impacted specimens. It was found that at a low content of 2 phr (1.2 wt %) of nanoclays, the impact strength and the fracture toughness were improved by 77 and 90% respectively, comparatively to the neat epoxy, whereas DSC revealed a reduction of the Tg of nanocomposites. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Aluminum nitride nanoparticle (nano‐AlN) organically modified with the silane‐containing epoxide groups (3‐glycidoxypropyltrimethoxy silane, GPTMS) was incorporated into a mixture of poly(ether imide) (PEI), and methyl hexahydrophthalic anhydride‐cured bisphenol A diglycidyl ether grafted by GPTMS was prepared for nanocomposite. Scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and atomic force microscopy were used to investigate the microscopic structures of nanocomposites. According to experimental results, it was shown that addition of nano‐AlN and PEI into the modified epoxy could lead to the improvement of the impact and bend strengths. When the concentrations of nano‐AlN and PEI were 20 and 10 pbw, respectively, the toughness/stiffness balance could be achieved. Dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) results displayed that two glass transition temperatures (Tg) found in the nanocomposites were assigned to the modified epoxy phase and PEI phase, respectively. As nano‐AlN concentration increased, Tg value of epoxy phase had gradually increased, and the storage modulus of the nanocomposite at the ambient temperature displayed an increasing tendency. Additionally, thermal stability of the nanocomposite was apparently improved. The macroscopic properties of nanocomposites were found to be strongly dependent on their components, concentrations, dispersion, and resulted morphological structures. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The hybrid material of EP‐POSS mixture was synthesized by the hydrolysis and condensation of (γ‐glycidoxypropyl) trimethoxysilane. A series of binary systems of EP‐POSS/epoxy blends, epoxy resin modified by silica nanoparticles (SiO2/epoxy), and ternary system of SiO2/EP‐POSS/epoxy nanocomposite were prepared. The dispersion of SiO2 in the matrices was evidenced by transmission electron micrograph, and the mechanical properties, that is, flexural strength, flexural modulus, and impact strength were examined for EP‐POSS/epoxy blends, SiO2/epoxy, and SiO2/EP‐POSS/epoxy, respectively. The fractured surface of the impact samples was observed by scanning electron micrograph. Thermogravimetry analysis were applied to investigate the different thermal stabilities of the binary system and ternary system by introducing EP‐POSS and SiO2 to epoxy resin. The results showed that the impact strength, flexural strength, and modulus of the SiO2/EP‐POSS/epoxy system increased around by 57.9, 14.1, and 44.0% compared with the pure epoxy resin, Ti, Tmax and the residues of the ternary system were 387°C, 426°C, and 25.2%, increased remarkably by 20°C, 11°C and 101.6% in contrast to the pure epoxy resin, which was also higher than the binary systems. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Polylactide (PLA) nanocomposite was prepared by melt blending of PLA and transition metal ion (TMI) adsorbed montmorillonite (MMT). PLA nanocomposite was characterized for mechanical performance, and the results revealed that the tensile modulus, flexural modulus, and impact strength were increased marginally. The nanocomposite was optimized at 5 wt% of TMI‐modified MMT (TMI‐MMT) loading. Thermogravimetric analysis displayed increase in onset of degradation temperature, and differential scanning calorimetry showed marginal increase in glass transition temperature (Tg) and melting temperature (Tm) in case of PLA nanocomposites, when compared with virgin PLA. The flammability testing of nanocomposites indicated good fire retardance characters. X‐ray diffraction patterns of TMI‐MMT and the corresponding nanocomposites indicated an intercalation of the metal ions into the clay interlayer. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy analysis indicate formation of [Zn(EDA)2]2+ and [Cu(EDA)2]2+ complexes in the MMT interlayer. Dynamic mechanical analysis shows increase in glass transition temperature (Tg) and storage modulus (E′) in case of PLA nanocomposites reinforced with 5 wt% modified MMT. POLYM.

The aim of the present study is to examine and compare the thermal and mechanical properties of epoxy resin/TiO2 particle microcomposites (0.2 μm) and nanocomposites (21 nm). Composite materials consisting of epoxy resin reinforced with different amounts of TiO2 microparticles (1, 5, 10, 15, and 20% wt) and TiO2 nanoparticles (0.5%, 1%, 3%wt) were prepared. The thermal and mechanical properties of the manufactured composites were investigated and compared through differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and three‐point bending tests (3PB). Lipatov's Theory was then applied on the DSC results, thus leading to the calculation of the particle‐matrix interphase thickness which was correlated to experimental findings. The glass transition temperature (Tg) of the materials was obtained and the effect of the grain size on the measured Tg values was investigated. The data obtained from DSC tests for both micro‐ and nanoinclusions when normalized with respect to the specific surface area of the particles, resulted in a single continuous curve describing the normalized phase transition enthalpy variation with filler weight fraction.

In previous studies, we reported the linear and nonlinear rheological properties of three‐component composites consisting of acrylic polymer (AP), epoxy resin (EP), and various SiO2 contents (AP/EP/SiO2) in the molten state. In this study, the dynamic mechanical properties of AP/EP/SiO2 composites with different particle sizes (0.5 and 8 μm) were investigated in the glass‐transition region. The EP consisted of three kinds of EP components. The α relaxation due to the glass transition shifted to a higher temperature with an increase in the volume fraction (?) for the AP/EP/SiO2 composites having a particle size of 0.5 μm, but the α relaxation scarcely shifted for the composite having a particle size of 8 μm as a general result. This result suggested that the SiO2 nanoparticles that were 0.5 μm in size adsorbed a lot of the low‐glass‐transition‐temperature (Tg) component because of their large surface area. The AP/SiO2 composites did not exhibit a shift in Tg; this indicated that the composite did not adsorb any component. The modulus in the glassy state (E′g) exhibited a very weak &phis; dependence for the AP/EP/SiO2 composites having particle sizes of 0.5 and 8 μm, although E′g of the AP/SiO2 composites increased with &phis;. The AP/EP/SiO2 composites exhibited a peculiar dynamic mechanical behavior, although the AP/SiO2 composites showed the behavior of general two‐component composites. Scanning electron microscopic observations indicated that some components in the EP were adsorbed on the surface of the SiO2 particles. We concluded that the peculiar behavior of the AP/EP/SiO2 composites was due to the selective adsorption of the EP component. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym.

Amino‐functionalized multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT‐NH2s) as nanofillers were incorporated into diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A (DGEBA) toughened with amine‐terminated butadiene–acrylonitrile (ATBN). The curing kinetics, glass‐transition temperature (Tg), thermal stability, mechanical properties, and morphology of DGEBA/ATBN/MWCNT‐NH2 nanocomposites were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis, a universal test machine, and scanning electron microscopy. DSC dynamic kinetic studies showed that the addition of MWCNT‐NH2s accelerated the curing reaction of the ATBN‐toughened epoxy resin. DSC results revealed that the Tg of the rubber‐toughened epoxy nanocomposites decreased nearly 10°C with 2 wt % MWCNT‐NH2s. The thermogravimetric results show that the addition of MWCNT‐NH2s enhanced the thermal stability of the ATBN‐toughened epoxy resin. The tensile strength, flexural strength, and flexural modulus of the DGEBA/ATBN/MWCNT‐NH2 nanocomposites increased increasing MWCNT‐NH2 contents, whereas the addition of the MWCNT‐NH2s slightly decreased the elongation at break of the rubber‐toughened epoxy. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The synthesis and properties of comb‐like polymer‐graphene nanocomposites via surface initiated atom transfer radical polymerization is reported. The crystallization temperature (Tc) and melt temperature (Tm) of the comb‐like homopolymer increases from −18 to −8 °C and 1 to 11 °C, respectively, in the nanocomposite synthesized with 0.6 wt % graphene initiator. The rheological properties like modulus and complex viscosity of the nanocomposite show a twofold increase. Transmission electron microscopy results of the nanocomposite show a well‐intercalated structure with nanoscale distribution of graphene domains and in scanning electron microscopy a sheet‐like structure with corrugations, and crumples are seen. The hydrophobicity, as measured by water contact angle, increases from 101° in the homopolymer to 118° in the nanocomposite. The nanocomposites exhibit substantial increase in adhesive strength on different substrates, with peel strength increasing by more than 1000 times, as compared to the homopolymer. The improved tack and adhesion properties of the nanocomposites suggest them as novel materials for adhesive applications. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym. Sci. 2018 , 135, 45885. 相似文献

Dynamically vulcanized Nylon 1010/ethylene‐vinyl acetate rubber (EVM)/SiO2 nanocomposites were prepared. Maleic anhydride grafted ethylene‐vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA‐g‐MA) and nano‐silica (SiO2) was used as a compatibilizer and a filler, and silane coupling agent (KH550, 3‐triethoxysilylpropylamine) was used to improve the dispersion of SiO2 in the nanocomposites. The nanocomposites were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA), differential scanning calorimeter (DSC), and rheology analysis and mechanical properties test. SEM and AFM images showed that the compatibility between Nylon 1010 and EVM was improved by adding the compatibilizer. An increase in SiO2 content and the addition of the compatibilizer led to an increase in the tensile strength of the nanocomposite. A nanocomposite based on Nylon 1010/EVM/DCP (30/70/0.8) with tensile strength of 16.3 MPa and elongation at break of 180% was obtained by the addition of 15 phr EVA‐g‐MA and 40 phr SiO2. The non‐isothermal crystallization processes of Nylon/EVM blend were investigated by DSC. It was observed that EVM rubber could act as heterogeneous nuclei for Nylon which was more effective in Nylon/EVM/DCP blend than in Nylon/EVM blend. POLYM. ENG.

The effects of SiO2 nanoparticles on the performance of carboxyl‐randomized liquid butadiene–acrylonitrile rubber (CRBN) modified epoxy resin (EP) nanocomposites were studied. With the addition of an appropriate amount of SiO2 (2%) to EP/CRBN (95/5), the nanocomposites could achieve the desired impact strength and modulus. The morphology of the nanocomposites was studied with scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. The nanocomposites showed a three‐phase system; both the rubber particles and SiO2 nanoparticles showed uniform dispersions in the EP matrix, with their phases all nanosized. A good correlation between the free‐volume hole radius and mechanical properties was found. The introduction of a small amount of nanoparticles (both rubber and SiO2) into EP led to the formation of interactions between the EP and nanoparticles. The interactions restricted the segment motion and the mobilization of the EP chains and then reduced the free‐volume concentration in the amorphous region of EP. The fact that the average free‐volume hole radius of EP/CRBN was larger than that of pure EP was mainly attributed to the contribution of the larger size of the free‐volume holes within the rubber phase. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Its structure and properties were characterized by FTIR, XPS, TGA and Rheology data. Epoxy nanocomposites with 0.0, 0.5, 1.0 and 2.0 wt% content of L‐POSS‐D were prepared. T g of the nanocomposites improved 47.6°C higher than pure epoxy resin. Mechanical properties, including flexural strength and impact toughness, were improved markedly with L‐POSS‐D. The morphologies of impact fracture were studied by SEM. POLYM. COMPOS., 38:691–698, 2017. © 2015 Society of Plastics Engineers 相似文献

High‐performance nanosilica composites based on epoxy‐modified polybenzoxazine matrices are developed. Chemorheological study of benzoxazine–epoxy resin mixtures reveals that processing window of the benzoxazine resin (BA‐a) is substantially broadened with an addition of the liquid epoxy. Glass transition temperature (T g) of the BA‐a copolymerized with epoxy resin shows a synergistic behavior with a maximum T g value (174°C) at the benzoxazine–epoxy mass ratio of 80:20. The copolymer at this composition is also used as a matrix for nano‐SiO2 composites. A very low melt viscosity of the benzoxazine–epoxy mixtures promotes good processability with the maximum attainable nano‐SiO2 loading up to 35 wt%. From scanning electron microscopy investigation, fracture surface of the 35 wt% nano‐SiO2‐filled benzoxazine–epoxy composite reveals relatively homogeneous distribution of the nano‐SiO2 in the copolymer with good particle wet‐out. In addition, very high reinforcing effect was also observed in such high content of the nano‐SiO2, i.e., about 2.5 times in modulus improvement. This improvement is attributed to the strong bonding between the copolymer matrix and the nano‐SiO2 through ether linkage as confirmed by Fourier‐transform infrared investigation. POLYM.
