Abstract This study investigates virgin and recycled high-density polyethylene/multi-walled carbon nanotube (HDPE/MWCNT) composites using thermo-physical and mechanical characterization techniques to generate knowledge and understand recyclability of these composites. Firstly, virgin samples with 0.1–5 wt.% of MWCNTs were prepared by injection molding. Then, the HDPE/MWCNT composite waste was mechanically recycled and consecutively reprocessed by injection molding. The experimental results show that the degradation process of the end-user properties (mechanical and electrical properties) depends on the MWCNT wt.%. The higher the carbon nanotube loading, the higher the degradation of the end-user properties. The HDPE/MWCNT composites appear to be resistant to degradation at carbon nanotube loadings below the percolation threshold (which is located around 3 wt.%). In contrast, the recycled HDPE/MWCNT composites with 5 wt.% showed a reduction in viscosity, mechanical and electrical properties with recycling. After four reprocessing cycles, degradation in the Young modulus (−35%), tensile strength (−25%), elongation at break (−60%) and electrical conductivity (−2 orders of magnitude) of the HDPE/MWCNT composite with 5 wt.% was observed as compared with the virgin composite. From an industrial perspective, it is feasible to recycle HDPE/MWCNT composite waste by mechanical recycling and use it to manufacture products with favorable mechanical properties, covering insulating, antistatic and semiconducting ranges depending on the MWCNT loading, owing to the protective effect of carbon nanotubes against thermo-mechanical degradation.

Mechanical And Electrical Properties

Two different diameter carbon nanotubes were incorporated into cement mortar to investigate the effect on mechanical and electrical properties of composites. Cement-based composites have been prepared from Portland cement with various amounts of multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTS), ranging from 0% to 0.3% by cement weight. In this study, effective dispersion of two different diameter MWCNTS in water were achieved by applying ultrasonic energy and in combination with the use of a surfactant. The flexural and compressive strength of mixes were investigated at age 7 and 28 days. The conductivity of composites were conducted by the four probe method at age of 3 day, 7 day,14 day and 28 day. Results indicated that the two carbon nanotubes can improve the flexural and compressive strength of the composites. Furthermore, the well dispersion carbon nanotube solutions can decrease the resistance of the composites as the better conductive networks are formed in the cement matrix, especially at the later ages. Scanning electron microscopy observation used to observe the fracture surface of specimens containing 0% and 0.3wt% nanotubes indicated that the MWCNTS were well dispersed and there were no obvious agglomerates visible in the matrix. The SEM image revealed good bonding between the MWCNTS and the surrounding matrix.

Abstract This study investigates virgin and recycled high-density polyethylene/multi-walled carbon nanotube (HDPE/MWCNT) composites using thermo-physical and mechanical characterization techniques to generate knowledge and understand recyclability of these composites. Firstly, virgin samples with 0.1–5 wt.% of MWCNTs were prepared by injection molding. Then, the HDPE/MWCNT composite waste was mechanically recycled and consecutively reprocessed by injection molding. The experimental results show that, after the first mechanical recycling and reprocessing cycle, the thermal, rheological, mechanical, and electrical properties for the recycled and virgin HDPE/MWCNT composites with 0.1–3 wt.% were rather similar within the experimental error of the measurements. In contrast, the recycled HDPE/MWCNT composites with 5 wt.% showed a reduction in viscosity, mechanical and electrical properties with recycling. After four recycling and reprocessing cycles, degradation in the Young modulus (−35%), tensile strength (−25%), elongation at break (−60%) and electrical conductivity (−2 orders of magnitude) of the HDPE/MWCNT composite with 5 wt.% was observed as compared with the virgin composite. From an industrial perspective, it is feasible to recycle HDPE/MWCNT composite waste by mechanical recycling and use it to manufacture products with favorable mechanical properties, covering insulating, antistatic and semiconducting ranges depending on the MWCNT loading, owing to the protective effect of carbon nanotubes against thermomechanical degradation.

AbstractSingle-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) and multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) were functionalized with 3,4-diaminobenzoic acid via “direct” Friedel-Crafts acylation reaction in PPA/P2O5 to afford ortho-diamino-functionalized SWCNT (DIF-SWCNT) and MWCNT (DIF-MWCNT). The resultant DIF-SWCNT and DIF-MWCNT showed improved solubility and dispersibility. To improve interfacial adhesion between CNT and polymer matrix, the grafting of ABPBI onto the surface of DIF-SWCNT (10 wt%) or DIF-MWCNT (10 wt%) was conducted by simple in-situ polymerization of AB monomer, 3,4-diaminobenzoic acid dihydrochloride, in PPA. The resultant ABPBI-g-MWCNT and ABPBI-g-SWCNT showed improved the mechanical and electrical properties.
