Carbon Nanotu.be Reinforced. Nanocomposites
This application is a continuation-in-part application of U.S. Patent Application Serial No. 1 1/693,454, issued as U.S. Patent No, 8,1.29,463, which claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application Serial Nos, 60/788,234 and 60/810,394, ail of which are hereby incorporated, by reference herein.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 illustrates a process for .manufacturing epoxy/carbon nanotube ("CNT") nanocomposites in accordance with embodiments of the present invention-
DETAILED DESCRIPTIO
A combination of multi-walled carbon rianotubes ("MWNTs") (herein, MWNTs have more than two wails) and double-walled CNTs ("DWNTs") significantly improves the mechanical properties of polymer nanocomposites, A small amount of DWNTs reinforcement (e.g., <1 wt,%) significantly improves the flexural strength of epoxy matri nanocomposiles. A same or similar amount of MWNTs reinforcement significantly improves the .flexural modulus (stiffness) of epoxy matrix . nanocomposites. Both flexural strength and flexural modulus of the .MWNTs and DWNTs co-reinforced epoxy nanocomposites are further improved compared with same amount of either DWNTs or MWNTs reinforced epoxy nanoeoniposit.es. Besides epoxy, other thetinoset pctlymers may also be utilized.
In this nanocomposite system, single-walled CNTs ("SWNTs") may also work instead of DWNTs. Therefore, a combination of MWNTs and. SWNTs also significantly improves the mechaniea! properties of polymer nanocomposites. A small amount of SWNTs reinforcement (e.g., <1 wt.%) significantly improves the flexural strength of epoxy matrix nanocomposites. A same or similar amount of MWNTs reinforcement significantly improves the flexural modulus (stiffness) of epoxy matrix, nanocomposites. Both flexural strength and flexural modulus of the MWNTs and SWNTs co-rein forced epoxy nanocomposites are further improved compared with same amount of either SWNTs or MWNTs reinforced epoxy nanocomposites. Besides epoxy, other thermosei polymers may also work.
Furthermore, a combination of MWNTs and SWNTs and DWNTs also significantly improves the mechanical properties of polymer .nanocomposites, A small amount of SWNTs/DWNTs reinforcement (e.g., <1 wt.%) significantly improves the ilexural strength of epoxy matrix nanocoinposites. A same or similar amount of MWNTs reinforcement significantly improves the ilexural modulus (stiffness} of epoxy matrix nanocomposites. Both ilexural strength and ilexural modulus of the MWNTs aud SWNTs and DWNTs co- reinforced epoxy nanocomposites are fi.wth.er improved compared with same amount of either SWNTs or DWNTs or MWNTs reinforced epoxy nanocomposites. Besides epoxy, other thermoxet polymers may also work.
In embodiments of the present invention, an example is provided. MWNTs, SWNTs, and DWNTs are also simply referred to as CNTs herein when discussed in a more general sense.
Epoxy resin (hisphenol-A) and a hardener (dicyandiamide) was commercially obtained. The hardener was used to cure the epoxy nanocomposites. SWNTs, DWNTs, and MWNTs were commercially obtained. The CNTs may be funciionaiized with amino {~NI¾) Junctional groups. Amino-funetiona!ized CNTs may help to improve the bonding between the CNTs and epoxy molecular chairs, which can further improve the mechanical properties of the nanocomposites. However, pristine CNTs or tuncttonalfeed by other means (such as earboxylk functional groups) may also work. Although epoxy was used as an example for the experimentation, other ihermosets may a!so work. Thermosetting polymers that may be used as described herein include, but are not limited to, epoxies, vinyl esters, unsaturated polyesters, phenolics, cyanate esters (CBs), bismaieimides (BMls), polyimides, or any combination thereof
FIG. I illustrates a schematic diagram of a process flow to make epoxy/CNT nanocomposites. All ingredients may be dried (e.g., in a vacuum oven at approximately 70°C for approximately 16 hours} to remove moisture, in step 101, the CNTs were placed in a solvent (e.g., acetone) and dispersed (e.g., by a micro-iliiidie machine commercially available from Microtluidics Co.) in step 102. The micro-fluidic machine uses high- pressure streams that collide at. uUra-high velocities in precisely defined micron-sized channels. Its combined forces of shear and impact act upon products to create uniform dispersions. The CNT solution was then formed as a gel in step 103 resulting in the CNTs well dispersed in the solution. However, other methods, such as an ultrasonieation process, may also be utilized to disperse the CNTs in a solvent. A surfactant may be also used t disperse the CNTs in solution. Epoxy was then added in step 104 to the CNT/solvent gel to create an epoxy/CNT/solvent solution 105, which was followed by another mixing process 106 (e.g., u!trasonication in a bath at approximately 70°C for approximately 1 hour) to create an epoxy/CNT/solvent suspension 107, The CNTs were further dispersed in epoxy in step 108 (e.g., using a stirrer mixing process at approximately 70CC for approximately half an hour at a speed of approximately 1,400 rev/min. to create an. epoxy/CNT/solvent ge!. 109. A hardener was than added in step 1 10 to the epoxy/CNT/solvent gel. 109 (e.g., at a ratio of approximately 4.5 wt.%) followed by stirring (e.g., at approximately 70°C for approximately 1 hour}. The resulting gel. I l l was degassed in step 1 1.2 (e.g., in a vacuum oven at approximately ?0°C tor approximately 48 hours). The material 1 13 was then poured into a mold (e.g.. Teflon) and cured (e.g., at approximately 160*C for approximately 2 hours). Mechanical properties (flexurai strength and fiexural modulus) of the specimens were characterized in step 1 .15 after an optional polishing process.
Table 1 shows the mechanical, properties (tlexural strength and flexurai. modulus) of the epoxies made using the process flow of FIG. 1 to make epoxy/CNT nanocomposites.
As indicated in Table 3 , the fiexural strength of epoxy/DWNTs is higher than that of epoxy MW Ts at the same loading of CNTs, while the fiexural modulus of epoxy/DWNTs is lower than that of epoxy/MWNTs at the same loading of CNTs. Both the fiexural. strength and flexurai modulus of epoxy/DWNTs (0.5 wt.%) MWNTs (0.5 wt.%) are higher than those of epoxy/DWNTs (1 wt.%),
Also as indicated in Table 1 , the flexurai strength of epoxy/SWNTs is higher than that of epoxy/MWNTs at. the same loading of CNTs, white the flexurai modulus of epoxy/SWNTs is lower than that of epoxyMWNTs at the same loading of CNTs. Both the fiexural strength and fiexural modulus of epoxy/SWNTs (0.5 wt.%)/ WNTs (0.5 wt.%) are higher than those of epoxy/SWNTs (.1 wt.%).
Furthermore as indicated in Table L the fiexural strength of epoxy/SWNT TJWNTs i higher than tha of epoxy/MWNTs at the same loading of CNTs, while the fiexural modulus of epoxy/SWNTs DWNTs is Sower than that of epoxy/MWNTs at the same loading of CNTs. Both the fiexural strength and fiexural modulus of epoxy/SWNTs (0. S wi.%)/DWNTs (0.5 wt.%)/MWNTs (0.5 wt.%) are higher than those of epoxy/SWNTs/DWNTs ( 1 wt.%). Higher loadings of the CNTs ma als work. Table 1
