Surface grafting of carbon fibers with artificial silver-nanoparticle-decorated graphene oxide for high-speed electrical actuation of shape-memory polymers
Abstract
ABSTRACT Poor heat conduction in the interface between the carbon fiber and polymer matrix is a problem in the actuation of shape‐memory polymer (SMP) composites by Joule heating. In this study, we investigated the effectiveness of grafting silver‐nanoparticle‐decorated graphene oxide (GO) onto carbon fibers to improve the electrothermal properties and Joule‐heating‐activated shape recovery of SMP composites. Self‐assembled GO was grafted onto carbon fibers to enhance the bonding of the carbon fibers with the polymeric matrix via van der Waal's forces and covalent crosslinking, respectively. Silver nanoparticles were further self‐assembled and deposited to decorate the GO assembly, which was used to decrease the thermal dissimilarity and facilitate heat transfer from the carbon fiber to the polymer matrix. The carbon fiber was incorporated with SMP to achieve the shape recovery induced by Joule heating. We found that the silver‐nanoparticle‐decorated GO helped us achieve a more uniform temperature distribution in the SMP composites compared to those without decoration. Furthermore, the shape‐recovery behavior and temperature profile during the Joule heating of the SMP composites were characterized and compared. A unique synergistic effect of the carbon fibers and silver‐nanoparticle‐decorated GO was achieved to enhance the heat transfer and a higher speed of actuation. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
