| contents | Mechanical properties of carbon nanotube (CNT) reinforced polymers using electron‐deficient aromatics as additives Florian Bauer Dominik Söthje Herbert Schlachter Gerd Wehnert Polymer Composites AbstractIn initial experiments the effects of aromatic model substances on carbon nanotube (CNT) dispersions in dimethylformamide (DMF) were investigated. Electron‐deficient aromatics interact strongly with CNTs, causing increased agglomeration and sedimentation. Conversely, electron‐donating aromatics stabilize CNT dispersions in DMF. Polymers with electron‐deficient aromatics, such as polydinitrostyrene (PDNS), exhibit a concentration‐dependent effect: low concentrations lead to stabilization of dispersions, while higher concentrations lead to sedimentation. This suggests that such polymers can enhance attraction between the matrix of CNT‐reinforced polymers as well as stabilize the dispersed CNTs. Polycarbonate, modified with polydinitrocarbonate (PDNC) and reinforced with CNTs showed improved mechanical properties. The addition of 6 wt.% CNTs and 6 wt.% PDNC resulted in a notable improvement with a 22% increase in tensile strength, a 29% increase in flexural strength, a 39% increase in Young's modulus and a 47% increase in flexural modulus. This enhancement resulted in an overall mechanical performance comparable to the high‐performance polymer polyetherimide. However, there must be noted, that the addition of PDNC increases the CNT particle size, which can negatively affect mechanical properties. The results highlight the additive's dual role in enhancing adhesive interactions while potentially increasing CNT agglomerate sizes.Highlights Interactions of CNTs dispersed in DMF and various aromatics were investigated. Polydinitrocarbonate (PDNC) was synthesized as a new additive for CNT‐composites. Polycarbonate/CNT‐composites were obtained using extrusion. Test specimens with CNT contents up to 6 wt.% were obtained. Mechanical properties of polycarbonate reached the level of polyetherimide. 10.1002/pc.28695 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ |
