Description

The preparation method of in-situ polycondensation enhanced carbon nanotube/nylon composite materials
Technical field:
The present invention relates to a kind of preparation method of polymer composite, particularly the preparation method of in-situ polycondensation enhanced carbon nanotube/nylon composite materials.
Background technology:
Nylon has good physics, mechanical property, the tensile strength height, and the wear resisting property excellence, self lubricity is good, and toughness is good, and chemical-resistant resistance and oil-proofness are outstanding, are a kind of application engineering plastics very widely.But owing to there is more polar group, its water-intake rate is higher, and heat-drawn wire is lower, and modulus and intensity are also not high enough.When using under strong external force and heating condition, rigidity and thermotolerance are not good, make the stability and the electrical property variation of goods, and its application in a lot of fields is restricted, and therefore must carry out modification, to improve its performance.People once adopted several different methods that nylon is carried out enhancing modified, had improved its use properties to a certain extent, but effect is not very good.The enhancing modified that appears as nylon of nanotechnology provides a brand-brand-new way.Nano material has the characteristic of many novelties, and its application in plastics also gives body material many new performances except that strengthening toughening effect.Nano material is dispersed in the polymeric matrix with nano-scale, can obtains nano plastic.Nano plastic has the not available excellent properties of general matrix material, is a kind of brand-new hi tech and new material, has good commercial development and application prospect.
Carbon nanotube (CarbonNanotube is called for short CNT) is just found a kind of novel carbon structure in 1991, is the body that is rolled into by the graphite flake layer that carbon atom forms.According to the quantity of its graphite flake layer, carbon nanotube be divided into Single Walled Carbon Nanotube (Single-walledCarbonNanotube, SWNT), double-walled carbon nano-tube (Double-walledCarbonNanotube, DWNT), and multi-walled carbon nano-tubes (Multi-walledCarbonNanotube, MWNT).Carbon nanotube is the seamless hollow tube that is surrounded by the former sub-grid of hexagonal carbon, two ends are covered by hemispheric big fullerene molecule usually, diameter zero point several nanometers to tens nanometers, length then is several to a hundreds of micron, as a kind of novel material, the strength ratio steel of carbon nanotube is high more than 100 times, and Young's modulus can be up to 1TPa, and proportion has only 1/6 of steel.Because diameter is very little, length-to-diameter ratio is big, carbon nanotube is regarded as quasi-one-dimensional nanometer material.Confirmed now that carbon nanotube has peculiar electric property, superpower mechanical property, good adsorption property, thereby caused very big attention in the material field.
