Morphology and Properties of Polyester/Exfoliated Graphite Nanocomposites
Abstract
Nanocomposites reinforced with graphite platelets were compared to those with functionalized graphite sheets (FGS) prepared by partial pyrolysis of graphite oxide. Melt dispersion in poly(ethylene-2,6-naphthalate) (PEN) was quantified using a range of characterization techniques: electron microscopy, X-ray scattering, melt rheology, electrical conductivity, gas barrier, and mechanical properties. Conductivity percolation was obtained with as little as 0.3 vol % FGS, whereas 3 vol % was required for graphite. The threshold concentrations of FGS and graphite for rigidity percolation determined with melt rheology were in good agreement with conductivity percolation. Hydrogen permeability of PEN with 4 wt % FGS was decreased by 60% while the same amount of graphite reduced permeability only 25%. Structural differences between graphite and FGS were characterized with atomic force microscopy (AFM), Raman spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The highly exfoliated morphology of FGS was maintained in the composites as revealed by electron microscopy and X-ray scattering while graphite layers remained stacked together even after melt processing. Even though the tensile stiffness and dimensional stability of PEN were improved, the extent of reinforcement with FGS for these two properties was not as significant. This was attributed to the wrinkled structure of FGS and atomistic defects.

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.
