Development of self-healed, thermoformable, and fracture resistance epoxy nanocomposites added with disulfide bond grafted TiO2 nanoparticles
The development of self-healing epoxy nanocomposites with enhanced mechanical properties and thermal stability is crucial for advanced structural applications. This study presents a novel approach to fabricating self-healed epoxy nanocomposites by functionalizing TiO2 nanoparticles with silane coupling agents and grafting them with reversible S–S disulfide bonds. This modification enhances dispersion and interfacial bonding within the epoxy matrix, avoiding the direct inclusion of disulfide bonds in the network. Functionalized TiO2 nanoparticles (0.5–2 wt.%) were incorporated into the neat epoxy sample using an ultrasonic dual-mode mixing technique. The addition of 1 wt% TiO2 resulted in a 2.7-fold increase in fracture toughness (KIC) and a 4.8-fold increase in fracture energy (GIC) compared to the neat epoxy sample. Furthermore, tensile strength, flexural strength, flexural modulus, storage modulus, and glass transition temperature increased by ∼36 %, ∼46 %, ∼10 %, ∼155 %, and 22 %, respectively. Laminated carbon fiber-reinforced polymer composites were fabricated using the modified epoxy system, showing a healing efficiency improvement of ∼79 % in flexural strength and ∼62 % in flexural modulus. This study introduces a low-cost, multifunctional epoxy system with superior thermoformability, reprocessability, self-healing, and fracture resistance, offering promising applications in high-performance composites.
期刊介绍:
Composites Part B: Engineering is a journal that publishes impactful research of high quality on composite materials.
