Composites of carbon black (CB) and polymers are attractive for producing conductive fibers. Herein, to achieve improved interactions with polymers, the surface of CB was modified to form 4-aminobenzoyl-functionalized carbon black (ABCB), benzoxazine-functionalized carbon black (BZCB), and Ag-anchored carbon black (Ag-ABCB). The surface-modified CBs were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and thermogravimetric analysis, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy was utilized to confirm the presence of Ag in Ag-ABCB. Conductive polyacrylonitrile (PAN) fibers were wet-spun with conductive fillers (CB, ABCB, Ag-ABCB, and BZCB) to investigate the effects of various functional groups on the electrical and mechanical properties. After annealing the conductive PAN fibers, the conductivity and tensile strength greatly increased, whereas the diameter decreased. Notably, the fiber with a BZCB/PAN weight ratio of 12/88 possessed a conductivity of 8.9 × 10−4 S/cm, and strength of 110.4 MPa, and thus the highest conductivity and best mechanical properties in the conductive PAN fiber. These results indicate that the annealed BZCB/PAN fibers have potential applications in the manufacturing of antistatic fabrics.

To predict the cyclic stability of secondary battery electrodes, the mechanical behaviors of polymer binders and conductive composites (BCC) is of great significance. In terms of uniaxial tension, tensile stress relaxation, and bonding strength tests, the present study encompasses a systematic investigation of the mechanical properties of two typical aqueous binders with different contents of Super-S carbon black (SS) under a liquid electrolyte. Meanwhile, the microstructure of cured film and the surface morphology of the bonding interface are investigated in detail. When the weight ratio of SS increases from 0% to 50%, the cured BCC films manifest a higher ratio of tensile strength to modulus and a shorter characteristic relaxation time. Moreover, suitable loadings of SS can improve the tensile shear strength and remarkably reduce the percentage of interface failure of aqueous polymer-bonded Cu current collector. Nevertheless, an excess of carbon black amount cannot maintain its enhancing effect and can even impair the adhesive layer. Finally, a sodium alginate-based polymer composite holds much more superior mechanical properties than the mixture of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose and styrene-butadiene rubber at the same content of carbon black. Noticeably, the two kinds of aqueous polymer doped by 50 wt % of SS exhibit the best adhesive properties.

In this study, amine functionalized carbon black (ABCB) was synthesized using 4-aminobenzoic acid in a phosphoric acid (PPA)/phosphorus pentoxide (P2O5) medium, and silver-attached carbon black (Ag-ABCB) was prepared by reducing AgNO3 with NaBH4 in the presence of ABCB in ethanol. Elemental, thermogravimetric, and Fourier transform-infrared analyses showed that carbon black (CB) had a well-functionalized 4-aminobenzoic acid. In addition, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction were used to examine the crystal structure of Ag nanoparticles. Conductive fibers were prepared by melt-spinning using ABCB, Ag-ABCB as a conductive filler, and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) as a polymer matrix. Results confirmed that the fiber that had Ag-ABCB as a conductive filler exhibited the best electrical conductivity. The dispersibility and morphology of the conductive filler in the PET matrix were confirmed through scanning electron microscopy analysis, and Ag-ABCB was the most uniformly dispersed filler in the PET matrix, with good structure.

Abstract Shoe sole material, design, tread pattern and surface modifications influence slip resistance while walking and running. Thermoplastic styrene-butadine-styrene rubber, commercially known as TPR, is one of the materials widely used as shoe soles. This type of sole is subjected to chemical treatment known as halogenation to increase adhesion characteristic with the upper. The coefficient of friction (COF) is the ratio between the horizontal force and the vertical force when tested with the help of slip resistance test equipment SATRA STM 603. It is also known that footwear outsole surface modification affects COF at the footwear floor interfaces. In this study, plain TPR shoe sole samples were surface modified by treating with 2.0 wt% trichloroisocyanuric acid (TCI) in methyl ethyl ketone (MEK). The effect of surface modifications was studied by water contact angle measurements, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), surface roughness and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The surface modified sole samples were also tested for other mechanical properties such as tensile strength, elongation at break, hardness and abrasion resistance to find out the extent of changes in those essential functional properties. It was observed that surface modification of TPR sole increased COF and reduced strength, elasticity and abrasion resistance properties. However, there was no significant change in hardness.

This paper investigated mechanical properties and microstructure of metakaolin/slag based geopolymers reinforced by short polyacrylonitrile (PAN) fibers. The results showed that addition of short PAN fibers had no effect on the phase composition of the geopolymer but could strengthen and toughen the geopolymers remarkably. When the content of short PAN fibres was 0.8wt%, the geopolymers showed the highest compressive strength (99.84MPa) and flexural strength (13.76MPa). The addition of PAN fibers enlarged the work of fracture of the geopolymers and changed the fractural behavior from brittle to non-brittle fractural mode through fiber bridging and pull-out effects.

This work reports the modification of Polyacrylonitrile (PAN) fibers by coupling to thiosemicarbazones to achieve the biological activity for the applications in the food product packaging. After modification, seven thiosemicarbazone compounds were synthesized. The as-synthesized thiosemicarbazone compounds were bonded to PAN fibers via covalent coupling, which was confirmed using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and scanning electron microscopy. The mean graft efficiency of the compounds was about 1.92%, and the antibacterial efficiency was 88.6% and 45.1% against Staphylococcus aureus (S-aureus) bacteria. All the seven thiosemicarbazone compounds exerted excellent tyrosinase activity, low cytotoxicity, excellent metal ion chelation ability, and anti-bacterial behavior against both gram-positive and negative bacteria. The mechanical properties of the fibers have been maintained without significant damage after the chemical modification. The break strength test and elongation at the break test were done to measure the fracture strength of the modified fibers. Overall, the promising properties of the modified PAN fibers show potential applications in food packaging materials for fruits and vegetables, which require long-term anti-browning effects during their transportation and storage.

This work aims to investigate the effects of carbon black (CB) and carbon nanotube (CNT) on mechanical properties and thermal behaviors of natural rubber (NR)/styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) blend at NR/SBR weight ratio of 80/20. CB loadings from 3-9 phr and CNT with 0.1-0.4 phr loadings were used as fillers in this study. The composites were prepared by latex compounding method. The specimens were examined for their tensile and dynamic mechanical properties and thermal stability using the universal testing machine, dynamic mechanical analyzer and thermal gravimetric analyzer, respectively. The tensile strength and modulus of the composites were improved as a result of the incorporation of CB and CNT. Dynamic mechanical analysis showed that the CB and CNT filled composites possessed high stiffness and low damping characteristics. Thermal stability of the composites was also proved to be better than the unfilled-rubber blend.

AbstractCarbon black in the form of nanoparticle chains is used as a reinforcing filler in elastomers. However, the dynamics of the filler particles under tension and their role in the improvement of the mechanical properties of rubber are not well understood. We have studied experimentally the dynamics of isolated nanoparticle chain aggregates (NCAs) of carbon made by laser ablation, and also that of carbon black embedded in a polymer film. In situ studies of stretching and contraction of such chains in the transmission electron microscope (TEM) were conducted under different maximum values of strain. Stretching causes initially folded NCA to reorganize into a straight, taut configuration. Further stretching leads to either plastic deformation and breakage (at 37.4% strain) or to a partial elastic behavior of the chain at small strains (e.g. 2.3% strain). For all cases the chains were very flexible under tension. Similar reorientation and stretching was observed for carbon black chains embedded in a polymer film. Such flexible and elastic nature of NCAs point towards a possible mechanism of reinforcement of rubber by carbon black fillers.

The utilization of waste-paper-biomass for extraction of important α-cellulose biopolymer, and modification of extracted α-cellulose for application in enzyme immobilization can be extremely vital for green circular bio-economy. Thus, in this study, α-cellulose fibers were super-magnetized (Fe3O4), grafted with chitosan (CTNs), and thiol (-SH) modified for laccase immobilization. The developed material was characterized by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM), HR-TEM energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (HR-TEM-EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) analyses. Laccase immobilized on α-Cellulose-Fe3O4-CTNs (α-Cellulose-Fe3O4-CTNs-Laccase) gave significant activity recovery (99.16%) and laccase loading potential (169.36 mg/g). The α-Cellulose-Fe3O4-CTNs-Laccase displayed excellent stabilities for temperature, pH, and storage time. The α-Cellulose-Fe3O4-CTNs-Laccase applied in repeated cycles shown remarkable consistency of activity retention for 10 cycles. After the 10th cycle, α-Cellulose-Fe3O4-CTNs possessed 80.65% relative activity. Furthermore, α-Cellulose-Fe3O4-CTNs-Laccase shown excellent degradation of pharmaceutical contaminant sulfamethoxazole (SMX). The SMX degradation by α-Cellulose-Fe3O4-CTNs-Laccase was found optimum at incubation time (20 h), pH (3), temperatures (30 °C), and shaking conditions (200 rpm). Finally, α-Cellulose-Fe3O4-CTNs-Laccase gave repeated degradation of SMX. Thus, this study presents a novel, waste-derived, highly capable, and super-magnetic nanocomposite for enzyme immobilization applications.
