High-crystallization polyoxymethylene modification on carbon nanotubes with assistance of supercritical carbon dioxide: Molecular interactions and their thermal stability
چکیده انگلیسی

As a typical engineering plastic and high-crystallization polymer, polyoxymethylene (POM) has been successfully wrapped on single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) using a simple supercritical carbon dioxide (SC CO2) antisolvent-induced polymer epitaxy method. The characterization results of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) reveal that the SWCNTs are coated by laminar POM with the thicknesses of a few nanometers. The polymer adsorption on CNTs via multiple weak molecular interactions of CH groups with CNTs has been identified with FTIR and Raman spectroscopy. The experimental results indicate that the decorating degree of POM on the surface of CNTs increases significantly with the increase of SC CO2 pressure, and accordingly the dispersion of SWCNT modified by POM at higher pressure are more excellent than that of obtained at lower pressure. Further the processing stability of POM/CNTs composites are investigated by differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetric analysis. The experimental results obtained show that their thermal stability behavior is closely related to surface properties of CNTs. Apparently, the composites with POM-decorating SWCNTs as the filler shows higher melting points compared to the POM composites with pristine SWCNTs as the filler. Therefore, we anticipate this work may lead to a controllable method making use of peculiar properties of SC CO2 to help to fabricate the functional CNTs-based nanocomposites containing highly crystalline thermoplastic materials such as POM.
