Thermal And Electrical Properties

This article studies the enhancement in the properties of thermoplastic natural rubber (TPNR) reinforced by graphene oxide (GnO) and multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). TPNR is a blend of polypropylene and liquid natural rubber (NR), which is used as a compatibilizer and NR at a percentage of volume ratio 70:10:20, respectively. Using TPNR as the host matrix, a number of TPNR/carbon nanotubes (CNTs), TPNR/GnO, and hybrid TPNR/GnO/CNTs nanocomposites are processed and their mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties are characterized. The results extracted from tensile and impact test showed that tensile strength, Young’s modulus, and storage modulus of TPNR/GnO/MWCNTs hybrid nanocomposite increased as compared with TPNR composite and TPNR/GnO nanocomposite but lower than TPNR/MWCNTs nanocomposite. On the other hand, the elongation at break considerably decreased with increasing the content of both types of nanoparticles. Based on the experimental results, the thermal, electrical conductivity of a 0.5 wt% MWCNTs-reinforced sample increased as compared with a pure TPNR and other MWCNTs/GnO-reinforced composites. The improved dispersion properties of the nanocomposites can be due to altered interparticle interactions. MWCNTs, GnO, and MWCNTs–GnO networks are well combined to generate a synergistic effect that is shown by scanning electron microscopy micrographs. With the existence of this network, the mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties of the nanocomposite were improved significantly.

Thermal And Electrical Properties

The objective of this study is to evaluate the structural, thermal, and electrical properties of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNT) hybridized with silver nanoparticles (AgNP) obtained via chemical reduction of aqueous silver salt assisted with sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) as stabilizing agent. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) reveals microstructural analysis of the MWNT-Ag hybrids. The Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra prove the interactions between the AgNP and carboxyl groups of the MWNT. Raman spectra reveal that the D- to G-band intensity ratiosID/IGandID′/IGincrease upon the deposition of AgNP onto the surface of the MWNT. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) shows that the MWNT-Ag hybrids decompose at a much faster rate and the weight loss decreased considerably due to the presence of AgNP. Nonlinearity of current-voltage (I-V) curves indicates that electrical transport of pristine MWNT is enhanced when AgNP is induced as charge carriers in the MWNT-Ag hybrids. The threshold voltageVthvalue for the MWNT doped with a maximum of 70 vol% of AgNP was substantially reduced by 65% relative to the pristine MWNT. The MWNT-Ag hybrids have a favourable electrical characteristic with a low threshold voltage that shows enhancement mode for field-effect transistor (FET) applications.
