摘要
采用熔融共混法制备了碳纳米管(CNT)填充改性的聚对苯二甲酸丙二酯(PTT)/乙烯-醋酸乙烯酯共聚物(EVA)三元复合材料.通过扫描电子显微镜(SEM)、透射电子显微镜(TEM)、接触角测量仪、旋转流变仪等研究了该复合材料中碳纳米管的分布、不相容的相形态以及流变和力学性能.研究结果表明,与EVA相比,PTT组分具有较低的黏度以及与CNT较好的亲和性;因此三元体系中,CNT主要分布于PTT连续相和两相界面中.CNT的这种选择性分布显著减小了EVA分散相液滴的尺寸,增加了两相界面粘结,提高了三元复合材料的模量和塑性形变的能力,起到了增容、增塑的效果.
Poly(trimethylene terephthalate)(PTT) was melt-blended with ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymers(EVA) with the aim of enhancing toughness and plasticity of PTT.However,these two polymers were found to be thermodynamically immiscible and the formed blends showed deteriorated mechanical properties.The multi-walled carbon nanotubes(CNT) were thereby used to improve the phase morphology and adhesion of the PTT/EVA blend.The phase structures and rheology as well as mechanical properties were investigated by using scanning electron microscope(SEM),transmission electron microscope(TEM),contact angle measuring device and rotational rheometer respectively.A special selective localization of CNT could be observed on the ternary PTT/EVA /CNT composites.The CNT are selectively dispersed in the matrix PTT phase and the interface between two phases.This is due to the lower viscosity of PTT and its better affinity to CNT than those of the EVA.Thus,the CNT is more readily to be embedded by the PTT but not EVA during melt processing and finally,to be dispersed in the PTT phase and the interface.As a result of such selective localization,the size of EVA phase domains is reduced and the phase adhesion of the ternary composites is improved remarkably in contrast to those of the binary PTT/EVA blend.Therefore,the modulus and the plasticity of composites were enhanced.The CNT are believed to act as the compatibilizer and the plasticizer in the immiscible PTT/EVA blend.
