Abstract

Using ethylenediamine functionalized graphene (GS-EDA) as nano-filler and maleic anhydride grafted polyolefin elastomer (POE-g-MAH) as toughening agent, the PP/POE-g-MAH/GS-EDA nanocomposites were prepared by melt blending method. The morphology and properties of nano-filler and the prepared nanocomposites were characterized in detail by means of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscope (SEM), differential scanning calorimetric analysis (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), mechanical properties, thermal deformation temperature and melt flow rate tests. The results indicated that EDA was successfully grafted onto GS. The reactions between the GS-EDA and POE-g-MAH could improve effectively the interfacial compatibility of blending systems and the dispersion of GS-EDA in the matrix. The tensile strength, elastic modulus and impact strength of the nanocomposites with 0.5 mass% GS-EDA increased by 25.2%, 32.5% and 26.9% respectively in comparison with those of PP/POE-g-MAH without GS-EDA. The comprehensive mechanical performance could also be acquired for the PP/POE-g-MAH/GS-EDA nanocomposite with 0.5 mass% GS-EDA. The crystalline temperature, melting temperature and the degree of crystalline of the PP/POE-g-MAH/GS-EDA composites increased due to the GS-EDA incorporation. The thermal stability of all the PP/POE-g-MAH/GS-EDA composites is improved, while the melt flow rate decreased gradually, with the addition of GS-EDA.
