Carbon materials for structural self-sensing,electromagnetic shielding and thermal interfacing

This paper reviews carbon materials for significant emerging applications that relate to structural self-sensing (a structural material sensing its own condition), electromagnetic interference shielding (blocking radio wave) and thermal interfacing (improving thermal contacts by using thermal interface materials). These applications pertain to electronics, lighting (light emitting diodes), communication, security, aircraft, spacecraft and civil infrastructure. High-performance and cost-effective materials in various forms of carbon have been developed for these applications. The forms of carbon materials include carbon fiber, carbon nanofiber, exfoliated graphite, carbon black and composite materials. Short carbon fiber cement-matrix composites and continuous carbon fiber polymer-matrix composites are particularly effective for structural self-sensing, with the attributes sensed including strain, stress, damage and temperature. Flexible graphite as a monolithic material and nickel-coated carbon nanofiber as a filler are particularly effective for electromagnetic shielding. Carbon black paste, graphite nanoplatelet paste and flexible graphite (filled with carbon black paste) are particularly effective for thermal interfacing; carbon nanotube arrays are less effective than these pastes. The associated science pertains to the relationship among processing, structure and properties in relation to the abovementioned applications. The criteria behind the design of materials for these applications and the mechanisms of the associated phenomena are also addressed.     

Carbon Nanotube Reinforced Alumina-Based Ceramics with Novel Mechanical, Electrical, and Thermal Properties

The extraordinary mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties of single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) have prompted the development of advanced engineering materials with improved properties through the incorporation of carbon nanotubes in selected matrices. Dense SWCNT reinforced alumina nanocomposites have been fabricated by novel spark-plasma-sintering (SPS) technique. SWCNT were also successfully used to convert insulating nanoceramics to metallically conductive composites. Additionally, novel anisotropic thermal properties have been observed in the carbon nanotube composites. Such multifunctional carbon nanotube/ceramic composites with improved mechanical and electrical properties along with anisotropic thermal properties are envisaged for a wide range of applications.     

Graphite/Polyaniline (GP) composites: Synthesis and characterization

Ever since the discovery of inherently conducting polymers (ICPs), research dealing with the applications of these unique materials continues to grow. The use of ICPs, especially polyaniline (PANi) and polypyrrole (PPy), and carbon black (CB) as conductive additives in the thermoplastics industry have been limited due to undesirable properties of each at high temperatures. Carbon black-ICP composites, however, have shown improved properties at higher temperatures. The applications of these composites are still limited because the conductivities are below that of carbon black alone and about the same order of magnitude as PANi. Graphite/ICP composites have also been touted as possible electrode materials in rechargeable batteries and have numerous other applications. The exploration of graphite/PANi composites in our research lab has yielded conducting composites which exhibit conductivities greater than the graphite or PANi alone. In addition to higher conductivities, these graphite/PANi composites exhibit controllable conductivities as a function of pH.     

Next generation high‐performance carbon fiber thermoplastic composites based on polyaryletherketones

Interest in carbon fiber reinforced composites based on polyaryl ether ketones (PAEKs) continues to grow, and is driven by their increasing use as metal replacement materials in high temperature, high‐performance applications. Though these materials have seen widespread use in oil, gas, aerospace, medical and transportation industries, applications are currently limited by the thermal and mechanical properties of available PAEK polymer chemistries and their carbon fiber composites as well as interfacial bonding with carbon fiber surfaces. This article reviews the state of the art of PAEK polymer chemistries, mechanical properties of their carbon fiber reinforced composites, and interfacial engineering techniques used to improve the fiber‐matrix interfacial bond strength. We also propose a roadmap to develop the next generation of high‐performance long fiber thermoplastic composites based on PAEKs. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym.

A review on the processing–morphology–property relationship in biodegradable polymer composites containing carbon nanotubes and nanofibers

Carbon nanofillers containing biodegradable polymer composites have become an emerging frontier in materials science and engineering because of their potential as environmentally friendly materials in multiple applications, from load-bearing to advanced packaging to biomedical applications. Herein, we present the effect of processing parameters on the final morphology and the resulting properties of the biodegradable polymer composites containing carbon nanotubes (CNTs) or carbon nanofibers (CNFs). Various strategies can be employed to develop such composites; however, the type of morphology, which results during processing, significantly affects the final properties of the obtained composites. Therefore, various processing strategies such as melt-blending, additive manufacturing, and electrospinning are critically reviewed, together with the potential applications in load-bearing, tissue engineering, electromagnetic shielding, gas sensing, and packaging. Finally, we discuss the existing challenges and future directions in designing CNTs/CNFs containing biodegradable polymer composites with desired properties.

Advances in layered double hydroxide (LDH)-based elastomer composites

This article reviews the advances in layered double hydroxide (LDH) materials and the synthesis of LDH-based elastomer composites. The potential of tuning the structure of LDH materials for desired properties and applications has attracted both academic and industrial interest in recent years. The modification of LDH materials and the use of such materials in the synthesis of composites with different elastomer matrices have been critically analyzed. Emphasis has been given to the use of Mg-Al LDHs and Zn-Al LDHs with different elastomers. The use of modified LDHs with elastomers substantially improves their mechanical, thermal and optical properties. Even “smart properties” of elastomers, such as reversible thermotropic optical characteristics, have been realized with the use of LDH-based multifunctional additives in rubber formulations. The flame retardance of some elastomer composites has also been enhanced with the use of modified LDHs. The possibility of replacing ZnO with LDH during rubber compounding has also been discussed, which would lead to drastic interventions in the well-established rubber processing technologies. LDH materials have also been reported to be biocompatible. Therefore, among the various possible applications of LDHs in different material development processes, their use in rubber technology offers the potential for environmentally friendly rubber products, even tires. Throughout this article, the structure, synthesis, properties and applications of elastomer/(LDH) composites are discussed, including suitable examples taken from the relevant literature.     

Directionally Solidified Boride and Carbide Eutectic Ceramics

Borides and carbides generally have outstanding hardness, excellent wear resistance, and high melting points due to their covalent bonding. Directionally solidified eutectic (DSE) composites of boride and carbide constituent phases have been investigated since the 1970s as an approach to produce dense composite microstructures with added control over the microstructure. A variety of DSE ceramic composites have been developed and evaluated as potential materials for structural and functional applications due to their unique thermo‐electro‐mechanical properties. Renewed interest over the past few decades has been motivated, in part, by the needs for ultrahigh‐temperature composites for aerospace applications along with low‐density composites for armor applications. Some directionally solidified boride and carbide DSEs exhibit advantages in material properties over monolithic materials. This study reviews historical and recent research on processing methods, microstructure, crystallography, and material properties (mechanical, electrical, thermal properties, and oxidation resistance) of directionally solidified boride and carbide eutectic ceramic composites. Opportunities along with current limitations and needs for future developments are also reviewed and discussed.     

Interfacial micromechanics and effect of moisture on fluorinated epoxy carbon fiber composites

Carbon fiber composites have witnessed an increased application in aerospace and other civil structures due to their excellent structural properties such as specific strength and stiffness. However, unlike other structural materials, carbon fiber composites have not been as widely studied. Hence, their increased application is also accompanied with a serious concern about their long‐term durability. Many of these applications are exposed to multiple environments such as moisture, temperature, and UV radiation. Composites based on conventional epoxies readily absorb moisture. However, recently synthesized fluorinated epoxies show reduced moisture absorption and hence potentially better long‐term durability. The aim of this project is to study the effect of moisture absorption on fluorinated‐epoxy‐based carbon fiber composites and their comparison with conventional epoxy carbon fiber‐based composites. Microbond tests are performed on fluorinated and nonfluorinated epoxy‐based single fiber samples before and after boiling water degradation. It is found that fluorinated epoxy‐based single fiber coupons showed relatively reduced degradation of interface when compared with the nonfluorinated epoxy single fiber coupons. POLYM.

The Effect of Antibacterial Particle Incorporation on the Mechanical Properties,Biodegradability, and Biocompatibility of PLA and PHBV Composites

The composites based on polylactide (PLA) and poly (3‐hydroxybutyrate‐co‐3‐hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) with the addition of antibacterial particles: silver (Ag) and copper oxide (CuO) are characterized. Basic mechanical properties and biodegradation processes, as well as biocompatibility of materials with human cells are determined. The addition of Ag or CuO to the polymers do not significantly affect their mechanical properties, flammability, or biodegradation rate. However, several differences between the base materials are observed. PLA‐based composites have higher tensile and impact strength values, while PHBV‐based ones have a higher modulus of elasticity, as well as better mechanical properties at elevated temperatures. Concerning biocompatibility, each of the tested materials support the growth of fibroblasts over time, although large differences are observed in the initial cell attachment. The analysis of hydrolytic degradation effects on the structure of materials shows that PHBV degrades much faster than PLA. The results of this study confirm the good potential of the investigated biodegradable polymer composites with antibacterial particles for future biomedical applications.

Advances in oxidation and ablation resistance of high and ultra-high temperature ceramics modified or coated carbon/carbon composites

Carbon/carbon (C/C) composites are considered as one of the most promising materials in structural applications owing to their excellent mechanical properties at high temperature. However, C/C composites are susceptible to high-temperature oxidation. Matrix modification and coating technology with ultra-high temperature ceramics (UHTCs) have proved to be highly effective to improve the oxidation and ablation resistance of C/C composites. In this paper, recent advances in oxidation and ablation resistance of C/C composites were firstly reviewed, with attention to oxidation and ablation properties of C/C composites coated or modified with UHTCs. Then, several new methods in improving oxidation and ablation resistance were discussed, such as by using nanostructures to toughen UHTCs coatings or carbon matrix and the combination of matrix modification and coating technology. In addition, relevant ablation tests with scaled models were also briefly introduced. Finally, some open problems and future challenges were highlighted in the development and application of these materials.     

Water‐Processable Multiwalled Nanotube: Phenol‐Induced Reversible Oxidation Process and Ambipolar Charge Transport Property

Due to the fascinating electronic, thermal, and mechanical properties of single‐walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs), extensive efforts have been devoted to the development of SWCNT‐based materials. These materials' semiconducting properties and related applications, such as field‐effect transistors (FETs), have been investigated by researchers for many years. However, despite the significant progress achieved, it remains challenging to separate semiconducting and metallic nanotubes from the mixtures of as‐grown SWCNTs. In a few studies, composites of water‐processable phenol formaldehyde resin/multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) have been found to exhibit a quasireversible oxidation process and to behave as semiconductors or field‐effect transistors. This finding has rarely been reported for MWCNTs, and it differs greatly from findings regarding intrinsic semiconductive SWCNTs. Significantly, field‐effect transistors fabricated with MWCNT composites as their semiconductor active layers have shown ambipolar charge transport characteristics. The results provide a high value‐added application pathway for the application of polymer/MWCNTs as the FET materials for electronic devices that offer higher performance at a lower cost.
