Polymethylmethacrylate-graphene (PMMA/RGO) nanocomposites were prepared via in situ bulk polymerization using two different preparation techniques. In the first approach, a mixture of graphite oxide (GO) and methylmethacrylate monomers (MMA) were polymerized using a bulk polymerization method with a free radical initiator. After the addition of the reducing agent hydrazine hydrate (HH), the product was reduced via microwave irradiation (MWI) to obtain R-(GO-PMMA) composites. In the second approach, a mixture of graphite sheets (RGO) and MMA monomers were polymerized using a bulk polymerization method with a free radical initiator to obtain RGO-(PMMA) composites. The composites were characterized by FTIR, (1)H-NMR and Raman spectroscopy and XRD, SEM, TEM, TGA and DSC. The results indicate that the composite obtained using the first approach, which involved MWI, had a better morphology and dispersion with enhanced thermal stability compared with the composites prepared without MWI.
聚甲基丙烯酸甲酯/石墨烯(PMMA/RGO)纳米复合材料是通过两种不同的制备技术,通过原位本体聚合制备的。在第一种方法中,使用自由基引发剂通过本体聚合方法聚合氧化石墨(GO)和甲基丙烯酸甲酯单体(MMA)。加入还原剂水合肼(HH)后,通过微波辐射(MWI)将产物还原,得到 R-(GO-PMMA)复合材料。在第二种方法中,使用自由基引发剂通过本体聚合方法聚合石墨片(RGO)和 MMA 单体,得到 RGO-(PMMA)复合材料。通过傅里叶变换红外光谱(FTIR)、(1)H-NMR 和拉曼光谱以及 X 射线衍射(XRD)、扫描电子显微镜(SEM)、透射电子显微镜(TEM)、热重分析(TGA)和差示扫描量热法(DSC)对复合材料进行了表征。结果表明,与未经过 MWI 处理的复合材料相比,通过第一种方法(涉及 MWI)制备的复合材料具有更好的形态和分散性,并且热稳定性得到了增强。
