Reactive Diluents

The effect of reactive (polyethylene glycol) and non-reactive (toluene) diluents on thermal and mechanical properties (tensile strength, hardness and fracture toughness) of diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A epoxy resin (cured by triethylenetetramine) was investigated. The thermal stability and mechanical properties of the epoxy resin modified with reactive and non-reactive diluents at different wt% were investigated using thermo-gravimetric analyser, tensile test, hardness test and single-edge-notched bend test. A minor variation in thermal stability was observed for epoxy resin after addition of polyethylene glycol and toluene at 0.5 wt%; however, further addition of reactive and non-reactive diluents diminished the thermal stability. The addition of 10 wt% of polyethylene glycol in epoxy resin significantly enhances the tensile strength (∼12%), hardness (∼14%) and fracture toughness (∼24%) when compared to that of neat epoxy resin. In contrast, major drop in mechanical performance was observed after addition of toluene in epoxy. Furthermore, fracture surfaces were investigated under field emission scanning electron microscope to elucidate the failure mechanism.

The dispersion and exfoliation of graphene oxides in polymer matrix remains a challenge for graphene oxides based epoxy nanocomposites fabrication. In the present paper, we reported a simple and facile solvent exchange technique to successfully transfer graphene oxides (GOs) from aqueous solution to ethanol. In addition, we found that GO dispersion in epoxy resins was affected by the curing agents. Good dispersion of GOs in epoxy resin together with enhanced thermal and mechanical properties were observed when epoxy was cured with aliphatic curing agents. For aromatic curing agent, high loading of GOs leaded to GOs aggregation, but well dispersed GOs was observed at low loading of GOs. Especially, a 12 °C increase of glass transition temperature of the epoxy resin was observed with only 0.1 wt% GOs was added to the epoxy resin.

Objective: In this work, graphene (Gr) or/and Cu particles are used to improve the thermal and mechanical properties of epoxy resin. Methods: Various contents of Gr powder (0.1, 0.3, and 0.5 wt%), Cu powder (10, 30, and 50 wt%) were loaded to epoxy to form Gr/epoxy and Cu/epoxy composites, respectively. In addition, hybrids epoxy/Cu/Gr samples were prepared with a selection of lowest (0.1 and 10) and highest (0.5 and 50) ratios of Gr, and Cu, respectively. Results: The thermal conductivity increases with the increasing weight ratio of Gr and Cu as compared to the pure epoxy. The Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) of epoxy composites and hybrid composites reveals an improvement in the thermal stability. In addition, the mechanical properties such as hardness shore D and the wear resistance are enhanced for both the epoxy composites and hybrids composites. However, the Ep+0.5wt%Gr+50wt%Cu hybrid composite has the maximum hardness 84, thermal conductivity of 3.84 W/m.K, it shows the lowest wear resistance 2.7×10-6 mm3/Nm at loading 10 N. Conclusion: The hybrid composite containing 0.5wt%Gr and 50wt%Cu shows the maximum hardness and thermal conductivity, as well as the lowest wear resistance when compared to other composites. The physical properties of the hybrid composite can be controlled by the host blend, and hence the morphology, and interfacial characteristics.
