The synthesis and characterization of aminopropyl-terminated polydimethylsiloxane- treated carbon nanotube (AFCNT)-reinforced epoxy nanocomposites are reported in the current study. The amine functionalization of the CNTs was performed with a reaction to PDMS-NH. The AFCNTs were homogeneously dispersed in epoxy resin by using an emulsifier and a three-roller mill. The AFCNTs were characterized using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The curing behavior of the epoxy/AFCNT was studied using a differential scanning calorimeter (DSC). The tensile and impact strengths of the 2.0 wt.% AFCNT-reinforced epoxy nanocomposite were enhanced by 43.2% and 370%, respectively. Moreover, the glass transition temperature () was also enhanced by 21 °C. Furthermore, significant enhancements were observed in the initial degradation and char yield values. SEM results confirmed that the AFCNTs were highly dispersed in the polymeric matrix.
本研究报道了氨丙基封端的聚二甲基硅氧烷处理的碳纳米管(AFCNT)增强环氧纳米复合材料的合成与表征。通过与PDMS-NH反应对碳纳米管进行胺功能化。使用乳化剂和三辊研磨机将AFCNTs均匀分散在环氧树脂中。使用傅里叶变换红外光谱(FTIR)和扫描电子显微镜(SEM)对AFCNTs进行表征。使用差示扫描量热仪(DSC)研究环氧/AFCNT的固化行为。2.0 wt.%的AFCNT增强环氧纳米复合材料的拉伸强度和冲击强度分别提高了43.2%和370%。此外,玻璃化转变温度()也提高了21℃。此外,在初始降解和残炭率值方面观察到显著提高。SEM结果证实AFCNTs高度分散在聚合物基体中。
