Abstract: | In this paper, electrical and mechanical properties of Poly (p-phenylene sulfide) (PPS)/multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) nanocomposites were reported. The composites were obtained just by simply melt mixing PPS with raw MWNTs without any pre-treatment. The dispersion of MWNTs and interfacial interaction were investigated through SEM &TEM and Raman spectra. The rheological test and crystallization behavior were also investigated to study the effects of MWNTs concentration on the structure and chain mobility of the prepared composites. Though raw MWNTs without any pre-treatment were used, a good dispersion and interaction between PPS and MWNTs have been evidenced, resulting in a great improvement of electrical properties and mechanical properties of the composites. Raman spectra showed a remarkable decrease of G band intensity and a shift of D bond, demonstrating a strong filler–matrix interaction, which was considered as due to π–π stacking between PPS and MWNTs. The storage modulus (G′) versus frequency curve presented a plateau above the percolation threshold of about 2–3 wt% with the formation of an interconnected nanotube structure, indicative of ‘pseudo-solid-like’ behavior. Meanwhile, a conductive percolation threshold of 5 wt% was achieved and the conductivity of nanocomposites increased sharply by several orders of magnitude. The difference between electrical and rheological percolation threshold, and the effect of critical percolation on the chain mobility, especially on crystallization behavior of PPS, were discussed. In summary, our work provides a simple and fast way to prepare PPS/MWNTs nanocomposites with good dispersion and improved properties. |
