Surface modification of graphene oxide (GO) is one of the most important issues to produce high performance GO/epoxy composites. In this paper, the imidazole ionic liquid (IMD-Si) was introduced onto the surface of GO sheets by a cheap and simple method, to prepare a reinforcing filler, as well as a catalyst in epoxy resin. The interlayer spacing of GO sheets was obviously increased by the intercalation of IMD-Si, which strongly facilitated the dispersibility of graphene oxide in organic solvents and epoxy matrix. The addition of 0.4 wt % imidazolium ionic liquid modified graphene oxide (IMD-Si@GO), yielded a 12% increase in flexural strength (141.3 MPa), a 26% increase in flexural modulus (4.69 GPa), and a 52% increase in impact strength (18.7 kJ/m²), compared to the neat epoxy. Additionally the IMD-Si@GO sheets could catalyze the curing reaction of epoxy resin-anhydride system significantly. Moreover, the improved thermal conductivities and thermal stabilities of epoxy composites filled with IMD-Si@GO were also demonstrated.
氧化石墨烯(GO)的表面改性是制备高性能GO/环氧树脂复合材料的最重要问题之一。本文通过一种廉价且简单的方法将咪唑离子液体(IMD-Si)引入到氧化石墨烯片层表面,以制备一种增强填料以及环氧树脂中的催化剂。IMD-Si的插层明显增加了氧化石墨烯片层的层间距,这极大地促进了氧化石墨烯在有机溶剂和环氧基体中的分散性。与纯环氧树脂相比,添加0.4 wt%的咪唑鎓离子液体改性氧化石墨烯(IMD-Si@GO)后,弯曲强度提高了12%(141.3 MPa),弯曲模量提高了26%(4.69 GPa),冲击强度提高了52%(18.7 kJ/m²)。此外,IMD-Si@GO片层能够显著催化环氧树脂-酸酐体系的固化反应。而且,还证明了填充IMD-Si@GO的环氧复合材料的热导率和热稳定性得到了提高。
