Forms Of Carbon

Carbon can form different allotropes due to its tetravalency. Different forms of carbon such as carbon nanotubes (CNTs), carbon nanofibers, graphene, fullerenes, and carbon black can be used as nanofillers in order to enhance the properties of polymer nanocomposites. These carbon nanomaterials are of interest in nanocomposites research and other applications due to their excellent properties, such as high Young’s Modulus, tensile strength, electrical conductivity, and specific surface area. However, there are some flaws that can be found in the carbon nanoparticles such as tendency to agglomerate, insoluble in aqueous or organic solvents or being unreactive with the polymer surface. In this study, the aim is to study functionalization in order to rectify some of these shortcomings by attaching different functional groups or particles to the surface of these carbon nanoparticles; this also enables the synthesis of high-performance polymer nanocomposites. The main findings include the effects of functionalization on carbon nanoparticles and the applications of polymer nanocomposites with carbon nanoparticles as nanofillers in the industry. Additionally, the different methods used to produce polymer composites such as in situ polymerization, solution mixing and melt blending are studied, as these methods involve the dispersion of carbon nanofillers within the polymer matrix.

In this study, strong multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWNT)–polyimide (PI) matrix interfaces were designed and constructed to obtain high-performance nanocomposites via in-situ polymerization. MWNTs with reactive amino groups were produced by the covalent linking of phenylenediamine to the surface of MWNTs by amide bonds; this material exhibited excellent dispersibility and compatibility with the PI matrix. The incorporation of amine-functionalized MWNT (MWNT-NH2) significantly improved the macroscopic properties of the PI-based nanocomposites. A 50.5% increase in the tensile strength and an 83.1% increase in the Young’s modulus were achieved by 3.0 wt% MWNT-NH2 loading. Furthermore, the storage modulus, thermal stability, and glass transition temperature of the nanocomposite clearly increased by adding MWNT-NH2. The success of this method provides a good rational for developing high-performance polymer-based nanocomposites.

CO2 has been regarded as one of the most promising blowing agents for polystyrene (PS) foam due to its non-flammability, low price, nontoxicity, and eco-friendliness. However, the low solubility and fast diffusivity of CO2 in PS hinder its potential applications. In this study, an attapulgite (ATP)/polypyrrole (PPy) nanocomposite was developed using the in situ polymerization method to generate the hierarchical cell texture for the PS foam based on the supercritical CO2 foaming. The results demonstrated that the nanocomposite could act as an efficient CO2 capturer enabling the random release of it during the foaming process. In contrast to the pure PS foam, the ATP/PPy nanocomposite reinforced PS foam is endowed with high cell density (up to 1.9 × 106) and similar thermal conductivity as the neat PS foam, as well as high compression modulus. Therefore, the in situ polymerized ATP/PPy nanocomposite makes supercritical CO2 foaming desired candidate to replace the widely used fluorocarbons and chlorofluorocarbons as PS blowing agents.

An in-situ polymerization method was used for the preparation of a novel stir bar based on neodymium magnet (Nd2Fe14B) powders. The processes were carried out by several steps including the enwrapping of Nd2Fe14B, the modification of the enclosed Nd2Fe14B, and the form of organic polymers on the surface of the modified powders. It was successfully used to enrich the plasticizers in water sample by stir bar sorptive extraction (SBSE). The experimental conditions for SBSE, such as the choice of extraction sorvents, salt concentration, extraction and desorption time were optimized in detail. Coupled to high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), the recoveries of dibutyl phthalate (DBP), dimethyl phthalate (DMP), diethyl phthalate (DEP) were 89.2%~92.1%, 91.9%~96.6% and 94.3%~96.7%, respectively; the linear relationships between the concentration 5 μg/L and 800 μg/L for DBP were obtained; the limits of detection ranged from 0.09 μg/L to 0.21 μg/L in the optimal conditions.
