Structural properties, evolution of morphology and crystallization kinetics in immiscible polymer blends filled with multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) in the droplet phase were systematically investigated in this study. By grafting suitable macromolecules (here SAN, styrene acrylonitrile), that can drive the MWNTs to the droplet phase, allowed the understanding of the rate of nucleation and growth...
In this work, hydroxylated HPEEK [poly (ether ether ketone)] was covalently grafted on to graphene oxide (GO) sheets and methodically characterized using FTIR, TEM and XPS. The epoxy composites with GO and HPEEK grafted graphene oxide (HPEEK-g-GO) were prepared using mechanical stirring coupled with a bath sonicator to improve the dispersion and were subsequently cured at 80 °C and 180 °C. With the...
Designing new conducting materials with a promise for electromagnetic shielding applications attracted a wide spread interest in recent years. Styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) is a widely used low cost synthetic rubber for a large number of applications. However, their use in providing an effective barrier for electromagnetic radiations is limited by its poor electrical conductivity. Herein we report...
In this work, hydroxylated HPEEK [poly (ether ether ketone)], which is miscible with the pre-polymer (epoxy), was covalently grafted on to carboxyl functionalized multiwall carbon nanotubes (a-MWNTs) to tailor the interface between MWNTs and the host resin (epoxy). The grafted MWNTs were systematically characterized using spectroscopic techniques. The epoxy composites with a-MWNTs and HPEEK grafted...
A model immiscible blend system (PVDF/ABS, 50/50 wt/wt) was studied here and an attempt was made to stabilize the co-continuous structures using either a mutually soluble homopolymer (PMMA) or by introducing particles like graphene oxide sheets (GO) which preferentially localizes in PVDF or a combination of both i.e. PMMA wrapped GO, synthesized by in situ polymerization of MMA in presence of GO sheets...
The world has dominated by automation, wireless communication and various electronic equipments, which has led to the most undesirable offshoots like electromagnetic (EM) pollution. The rationale is environmental concern and the necessity to develop EM absorbing materials. This paper reviews the state of the art of designing polymer based nanocomposites containing nanoscopic particles with high electrical...
With the emergence of scientific interest in graphene oxide (GO) in recent times, researchers have endeavored to incorporate GO in thermoset polymeric matrix to develop composites with extraordinary set of properties. The current state of research in graphene/thermoset polymer composites is highlighted here with a focus on the role of interface in dictating the overall properties of the composites...
The focus of this work is the evaluation and analysis of the state of dispersion of functionalized multiwall carbon nanotubes (CNTs), within different morphologies formed, in a model LCST blend (poly[(α-methylstyrene)-co-(acrylonitrile)]/poly(methyl-methacrylate), PαMSAN/PMMA). Blend compositions that are expected to yield droplet-matrix (85/15 PαMSAN/PMMA and 15/85 PαMSAN/PMMA, wt/wt) and co-continuous...
The current state of research in polymer/carbon nanotubes (single wall and multiwall) composites has been reviewed in context to various types of pre-treatments presently employed. The fundamental aspects of carbon nanotubes are briefly discussed and various strategies designed to alter the dispersion stability and quality of nanotubes in the composites is highlighted. A complete survey of the published...
The 20/80 blends of polyamide 6 (PA6) and acrylonitrile–butadiene–styrene copolymer (ABS) in the presence of styrene–maleic anhydride copolymer (SMA) and multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWNT) were prepared using melt-mixing technique. Crystallization behavior of the PA6 phase in the blends was studied using DSC, WAXD and SAXS techniques. Blends' morphology was characterized by SEM. We observed fractionated...
