Abstract
Herein, we performed grafting of thiol groups to the surface of multi-walled carbon nanotubes. Then, using them (CNTS), zinc oxide (ZnO), ethylene dichloride, and sodium trisulfide (Na2S3), poly(ethylene trisulfide) (PETS) nanocomposites were synthesized via in situ polymerization. After that, the samples were cured at 170°C using a rheometer. The structural characteristics of CNTS were identified by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), Raman spectroscopies, and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The PETS characteristics were investigated by FT-IR, Raman, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR). Also, the samples were studied using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Shore A, tensile tests, and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The results showed that CNTS has a significant effect on the curing time of the nanocomposites, so that the curing time decreases with increasing CNTS content. Moreover, the nanocomposites had improved mechanical properties, indicating that they are more resistant to deformation and fracture. In addition, after the curing process, the melting temperature (T m) was not observed, and by increasing CNTS in composites, the glass transition temperature (T g) occurs at higher temperatures. Furthermore, the hardness of the samples showed a slight increase with higher CNTS content.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Sulfur Chemistry is an international journal for the dissemination of scientific results in the rapidly expanding realm of sulfur chemistry. The journal publishes high quality reviews, full papers and communications in the following areas: organic and inorganic chemistry, industrial chemistry, materials and polymer chemistry, biological chemistry and interdisciplinary studies directly related to sulfur science.
Papers outlining theoretical, physical, mechanistic or synthetic studies pertaining to sulfur chemistry are welcome. Hence the target audience is made up of academic and industrial chemists with peripheral or focused interests in sulfur chemistry. Manuscripts that truly define the aims of the journal include, but are not limited to, those that offer: a) innovative use of sulfur reagents; b) new synthetic approaches to sulfur-containing biomolecules, materials or organic and organometallic compounds; c) theoretical and physical studies that facilitate the understanding of sulfur structure, bonding or reactivity; d) catalytic, selective, synthetically useful or noteworthy transformations of sulfur containing molecules; e) industrial applications of sulfur chemistry; f) unique sulfur atom or molecule involvement in interfacial phenomena; g) descriptions of solid phase or combinatorial methods involving sulfur containing substrates. Submissions pertaining to related atoms such as selenium and tellurium are also welcome. Articles offering routine heterocycle formation through established reactions of sulfur containing substrates are outside the scope of the journal.
