Preparation of Conductive Polymer Graphite (PG) Composites

Preparation and properties of electrically conductive PPS/expanded graphite nanocomposites

Nanocomposites based on poly (phenylene sulfide) (PPS) and expanded graphite (EG) or ultrasonicated EG (S-EG) were prepared by melt blending. Morphologies of the nanocomposites were examined using both SEM and TEM. Electrical conductivity and thermal stability of PPS were notably enhanced by the introduction of EG. The percolation threshold values are 1 wt% (S-EG) and 2 wt% (EG) for PPS/S-EG an...

Straightforward synthesis of conductive graphene/polymer nanocomposites from graphite oxide.

The reduction of graphite oxide (GO) in the presence of reactive poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA), under mild biphasic conditions, directly affords graphene grafted with PMMA. The resulting nanocomposite shows excellent electrical conductivities resulting from the optimal dispersion and exfoliation of graphene in the polymer matrix.

Polyethylene/Clay/Graphite Nanocomposites as Potential Materials for Preparation of Reinforced Conductive Natural Gas Transfer Pipes

A series of high-density polyethylene/Cloisite 20A/graphite nanocomposites were prepared via melt blending for the production of polymeric pipes for natural gas transfer. The microstructural, mechanical, thermal, electrical and barrier properties of prepared nanocomposites were investigated. An intercalated morphology was observed for prepared nanocomposites. Improved mechanical properties ...

Development and Modeling of Thermally Conductive Polymer/Carbon Composites

graphite nanoplatelets for improved electrical conductivity of polymer composites

The graphite nanoplatelets (GNP) were treated by vapor-phase bromination. The increase in weight and atomic concentration of Br indicated the bromine uptake. The intercalation of Br between graphene layers of GNP was confirmed by the X-ray diffraction result, showing an increase in the interlayer spacing from 3.342 Å to 3.361 Å. Two types of bonds between C and Br were introduced simultaneously...
