Abstract
Toward strong and tough reduced graphene oxide (rGO)/poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) composites, GO/PVC particles with well dispersed GO are prepared via dropwise coagulation using homogenous GO/PVC dispersion. Then, rGO/PVC composite materials are obtained by reducing GO with VC and melt blending. With low GO content by weight (GO:PVC = 0.2:100), the rGO/PVC composite's tensile strength, elongation at break, Young's modulus and toughness are increased by 100.1 %, 102.4 %, 179.1 % and 432.3 %, respectively. Further, the rGO/PVC particles with high GO content (GO:PVC = 1:100) are applied as functional masterbatch for commercial PVC-based wood plastic composite (WPC). With only 0.07 wt% GO (relative to WPC), the tensile strength, elongation at break, Young's modulus and toughness of WPC are enhanced by 62.4 %, 75.4 %, 57.2 % and 236.3 %, respectively. This study provides a simple approach to obtain strong and tough graphene/PVC composites toward industrial application.
期刊介绍:
Composites Communications (Compos. Commun.) is a peer-reviewed journal publishing short communications and letters on the latest advances in composites science and technology. With a rapid review and publication process, its goal is to disseminate new knowledge promptly within the composites community. The journal welcomes manuscripts presenting creative concepts and new findings in design, state-of-the-art approaches in processing, synthesis, characterization, and mechanics modeling. In addition to traditional fiber-/particulate-reinforced engineering composites, it encourages submissions on composites with exceptional physical, mechanical, and fracture properties, as well as those with unique functions and significant application potential. This includes biomimetic and bio-inspired composites for biomedical applications, functional nano-composites for thermal management and energy applications, and composites designed for extreme service environments.
