Abstract
ABSTRACT Modified multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were prepared from commercially purchased MWCNTs with different chemical reactions. Nanocomposites were synthesised by the solvent casting method. The effects of functional groups, filling ratios and surfactants on thermal properties of nanocomposites were investigated. The structural, thermal and morphological properties of MWCNT and nanocomposites were investigated using Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometer, Brunauer–Emmett–Teller surface area measuring device, thermogravimetric analysis, differential scanning calorimetry and scanning electron microscopy. The novel increases in the thermal properties of poly(butylmethacrylate) (PBMA) were observed by adding MWCNT samples into a PBMA matrix. T g values of nanocomposites were higher than those of PBMA films. The data obtained from the thermograms of nanocomposites at different heating rates were analysed with Kissinger, FWO and Friedman equations. The activation energies of the nanocomposites were higher than those of PBMA films.
期刊介绍:
Plastics, Rubber and Composites: Macromolecular Engineering provides an international forum for the publication of original, peer-reviewed research on the macromolecular engineering of polymeric and related materials and polymer matrix composites. Modern polymer processing is increasingly focused on macromolecular engineering: the manipulation of structure at the molecular scale to control properties and fitness for purpose of the final component. Intimately linked to this are the objectives of predicting properties in the context of an optimised design and of establishing robust processing routes and process control systems allowing the desired properties to be achieved reliably.
