In situ Polymerization Approach to Graphene-Reinforced Nylon-6 Composites
Abstract
We reported an efficient method to prepare nylon-6− (PA6−) graphene (NG) composites by in situ polymerization of caprolactam in the presence of graphene oxide (GO). During the polycondensation, GO was thermally reduced to graphene simultaneously. By adjusting the feed ratio of caprolactam to GO, various composites with 0.01−10 wt % content of graphene were obtained. The highly grafting nylon-6 arms on graphene sheets was confirmed by XPS, FTIR, TGA and AFM measurements, showing the grafting content up to 78 wt % and homogeneous 2D brush-like morphology from AFM observations. The efficient polymer-chain grafting makes the graphene homogeneously dispersed in PA6 matrix and depresses the crystallization of PA6 chains. Furthermore, we prepared NG fibers by melt spinning process, and found that the tensile strength increased by 2.1 folds and Young’s modulus increased by 2.4 folds with the graphene loading of 0.1 wt % only, revealing an excellent reinforcement to composites by graphene. The in situ condensation polymerization approach paves the way to prepare graphene-based nanocomposites of condensation polymers with high performances and novel functionalities.

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.
