Enhancement of the Electrical Conductivity and Interlaminar Shear Strength of CNT/GFRP Hierarchical Composite Using an Electrophoretic Deposition Technique.

ABSTRACT: In this work, an electrophoretic deposition (EPD) technique has been used for deposition of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) on the surface of glass fiber textures (GTs) to increase the volume conductivity and the interlaminar shear strength (ILSS) of CNT/glass fiber-reinforced polymers (GFRPs) composites. Comprehensive experimental studies have been conducted to establish the influence of electric field strength, CNT concentration in EPD suspension, surface quality of GTs, and process duration on the quality of deposited CNT layers. CNT deposition increased remarkably when the surface of glass fibers was treated with coupling agents. Deposition of CNTs was optimized by measuring CNT's deposition mass and process current density diagrams. The effect of optimum field strength on CNT deposition mass is around 8.5 times, and the effect of optimum suspension concentration on deposition rate is around 5.5 times. In the optimum experimental setting, the current density values of EPD were bounded between 0.5 and 1 mA/cm². Based on the cumulative deposition diagram, it was found that the first three minutes of EPD is the effective deposition time. Applying optimized EPD in composite fabrication of treated GTs caused a drastic improvement on the order of 10⁸ times in the volume conductivity of the nanocomposite laminate in comparison with simple GTs specimens. Optimized CNT deposition also enhanced the ILSS of hierarchical nanocomposites by 42%.

Influence of matching solubility parameter of polymer matrix and CNT on electrical conductivity of CNT/rubber composite.

Project description:We report a general approach to fabricate elastomeric composites possessing high electrical conductivity for applications ranging from wireless charging interfaces to stretchable electronics. By using arbitrary nine kinds of rubbers as matrices, we experimentally demonstrate that the matching the solubility parameter of CNTs and the rubber matrix is important to achieve higher electrical conductivity in CNT/rubber composite, resulting in continuous conductive pathways leading to electrical conductivities as high as 15 S/cm with 10 vol% CNT in fluorinated rubber. Further, using thermodynamic considerations, we demonstrate an approach to mix CNTs to arbitrary rubber matrices regardless of solubility parameter of matrices by adding small amounts of fluorinated rubber as a polymeric-compatibilizer of CNTs. We thereby achieved electrical conductivities ranging from 1.2 to 13.8 S/cm (10 vol% CNTs) using nine varieties of rubber matrices differing in chemical structures and physical properties. Finally, we investigated the components of solubility parameter of CNT by using Hansen solubility parameters, these findings may useful for controlling solubility parameter of CNTs.

Microstructure and Electrical Conductivity of Electrospun Titanium Oxynitride Carbon Composite Nanofibers.

Project description:Titanium oxynitride carbon composite nanofibers (TiON/C-CNFs) were synthesised with electrospinning and subsequent heat treatment in ammonia gas. In situ four-probe electrical conductivity measurements of individual TiON/C-CNFs were performed. Additionally, the TiON/C-CNFs were thoroughly analysed with various techniques, such as X-ray and electron diffractions, electron microscopies and spectroscopies, thermogravimetric analysis and chemical analysis to determine the crystal structure, morphology, chemical composition, and N/O at. ratio. It was found that nanofibers were composed of 2-5 nm sized titanium oxynitride (TiON) nanoparticles embedded in an amorphous carbon matrix with a small degree of porosity. The average electrical conductivity of a single TiON/C-CNF was 1.2 kS/m and the bulk electrical conductivity of the TiON/C-CNF fabric was 0.053 kS/m. From the available data, the mesh density of the TiON/C-CNF fabric was estimated to have a characteristic length of 1.0 µm and electrical conductivity of a single TiON/C-CNF was estimated to be from 0.45 kS/m to 19 kS/m. The electrical conductivity of the measured TiON/C-CNFs is better than that of amorphous carbon nanofibers and has ohmic behaviour, which indicates that it can effectively serve as a new type of support material for electrocatalysts, batteries, sensors or supercapacitors.

Microwave conductivity of sorted CNT assemblies.

Project description:Recent progress with tailored growth and post-process sorting enables carbon nanotube (CNT) assemblies with predominantly metallic or semi-conducting concentrations. Cryogenic and microwave measurements performed here show transport dimensionality and overall order increasing with increasing metallic concentration, even in atmospheric doping conditions. By 120 GHz, the conductivity of predominantly semi-conducting assemblies grew to 400% its DC value at an increasing growth rate, while other concentrations a growth rate that tapered off. A generalized Drude model fits to the different frequency dependent behaviors and yields useful quality control parameters such as plasma frequency, mean free path, and degree of localization. As one of the first demonstrations of waveguides fabricated from this material, sorted CNTs from both as-made and post-process sources were inserted into sections of practical micro-strip. With both sources, sorted CNT micro-strip increasingly outperformed the unsorted with increasing frequency-- illustrating that sorted CNT assemblies will be important for high frequency applications.

Electrical performance of lightweight CNT-Cu composite wires impacted by surface and internal Cu spatial distribution.

Project description:We report ultralong conducting lightweight multiwall carbon nanotube (MWCNT)-Cu composite wires with MWCNTs uniformly distributed in a continuous Cu matrix throughout. With a high MWCNT vol% (40-45%), the MWCNT-Cu wire density was 2/3rd that of Cu. Our composite wires show manufacturing potential because we used industrially compatible Cu electrodeposition protocols on commercial CNT wires. Further, we systematically varied Cu spatial distribution on the composite wire surface and bulk and measured the associated electrical performance, including resistivity (ρ), temperature dependence of resistance, and stability to current (measured as current carrying capacity, CCC in vacuum). We find that a continuous Cu matrix with homogeneous MWCNT distribution, i.e., maximum internal Cu filling within MWCNT wires, is critical to high overall electrical performances. Wires with maximum internal Cu filling exhibit (i) low room temperature ρ, 1/100th of the starting MWCNT wires, (ii) suppressed resistance-rise with temperature-increase and temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR) ½ that of Cu, and (iii) vacuum-CCC 28% higher than Cu. Further, the wires showed real-world applicability and were easily soldered into practical circuits. Hence, our MWCNT-Cu wires are promising lightweight alternatives to Cu wiring for weight-reducing applications. The low TCR is specifically advantageous for stable high-temperature operation, e.g., in motor windings.

Effects of the Electrophoretic Deposition of CNTs on the Mechanical Properties of Ti/CFRP Composite Laminates.

Project description:The interfacial performance between metals and resins significantly affects the mechanical properties of fiber-metal laminates. In this study, CNTs were deposited on a titanium surface via electrophoretic deposition (EPD) to improve the interfacial performance of Ti/carbon fiber-reinforced polymer composite laminates. Before EPD, the titanium plates were treated by either sandblasting, anodizing, or sandblasting/anodizing. A macroscopically rough surface and an oxide layer were formed by sandblasting and anodizing, then CNTs were deposited, and a porous layer was obtained, which improved the wettability and bonding strength. Finally, the static mechanical properties (single-lap properties, bending properties, and interlaminar shear properties) and dynamic mechanical properties (impact resistance) of the laminates were systematically explored. The introduction of CNTs played an important role in dispersing and carrying loads and providing a strong crack propagation resistance, which improved the laminates' static mechanical properties and reduced the delamination damage under dynamic impact. Compared with the original composite laminates, the bond strength, bending strength, and interlaminar shear strength of the laminates deposited with CNTs after sandblasting were increased by 117.94, 46.85, and 145.61%, respectively. When the impact energy was 35 J, the damage area of the composite laminate deposited with CNTs was decreased by 27.75%.

Hierarchical Polyaniline Core-Shell Nanocomposites Coated on Modified Graphite for Improved Electrical Conductivity Performance.

Project description:Graphite has recently gained scientific and industrial attention due to its high electrical conductivity. In the current endeavor, a new way to fabricate novel and multifunctional nanocomposites using functional graphite (FG) as filler is presented. The fabrication of multilayered conducting composites of PANi/PMMA/PPG-b-PEG-b-PPG was carried out via in situ polymerization, using polyaniline (PANi), poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) and block copolymer as matrices in the presence of FGfiller. The growth of PANi chains is manifested by PMMA due to the formation of H-bonding between imine and carbonyl groups of PANi and MMA units, respectively, and are responsible for ion exchange sites. FTIR spectroscopy was used for structural elucidation of composites while elemental analysis was accomplished by XPS and EDX spectroscopy. The morphology of the prepared PANi/PMMA/PPG-b-PEG-b-PPG@FG composites was inspected by the SEM. The structure and crystallinity of the composites was investigated via XRD. The improved thermal stability and properties of the nanocomposites were observed using TGA and DSC. The conductivity measurements were used to characterize the electrical conductivity performance of the resulting composites. The presence of functional filler as well as polyaniline shows a significant contribution towards the enhancement of electrical conductivity of PANi/PMMA/PPG-b-PEG-b-PPG@FG nanocomposites.

Robust Bioinspired MXene-Hemicellulose Composite Films with Excellent Electrical Conductivity for Multifunctional Electrode Applications.

Project description:MXene-based structural materials with high mechanical robustness and excellent electrical conductivity are highly desirable for multifunctional applications. The incorporation of macromolecular polymers has been verified to be beneficial to alleviate the mechanical brittleness of pristine MXene films. However, the intercalation of a large amount of insulating macromolecules inevitably compromises their electrical conductivity. Inspired by wood, short-chained hemicellulose (xylo-oligosaccharide) acts as a molecular binder to bind adjacent MXene nanosheets together; this work shows that this can significantly enhance the mechanical properties without introducing a large number of insulating phases. As a result, MXene-hemicellulose films can integrate a high electrical conductivity (64,300 S m-1) and a high mechanical strength (125 MPa) simultaneously, making them capable of being high-performance electrode materials for supercapacitors and humidity sensors. This work proposes an alternative method to manufacture robust MXene-based structural materials for multifunctional applications.

Direct Reduction of Graphene Oxide/Nanofibrillated Cellulose Composite Film and its Electrical Conductivity Research.

Project description:With the rapid development of wearable and portable electronic devices, it is increasingly important to develop conductive paper-like films (CPFs) with the characteristics of light, thin and self-supporting. In this paper, nanofibrillated cellulose (NFC) was used as reinforcing phase of film-forming to combine with graphene oxide (GO). Then graphene-based CPFs were prepared by directly reducing the GO/NFC composite film without any additional adhesives, which effectively avoided the difficulties of dispersion and combination with other materials caused by direct using of high content graphene. Meanwhile, three representative reduction methods for direct reduction of GO/NFC composite films were also compared. The results show that 450 °C thermal reduction and hydroiodic acid reduction were more effective than ascorbic acid reduction. On this basis, hydroiodic acid reduction and thermal reduction were used to discuss the effect of NFC addition to the conductivity of the film. This occured when increasing the content of NFC from 10% to 50%, the electrical conductivity of the composite film by hydroiodic acid reduction decreased from 153.8 S/m to 22.2 S/m. While the conductivity of composite film increased first and then decreased after thermal reduction both at 450 °C and 550 °C. What's more, when NFC content was about 16.6% the electrical conductivity reached a high level which was 86.21 S/m and 168.9 S/m, respectively. This study provides a groundwork for the further development of graphene-based CPFs with low square resistance and high conductivity in large-scale preparation.

Computational characterization and control of electrical conductivity of nanowire composite network under mechanical deformation.

Project description:Quantitative models to predict the electrical performance of 1-D nanowire (NW) composite networks under external deformation such as bending and patterning are developed by Monte-Carlo based computations, and appropriate solutions are addressed to enhance the tolerance of the sheet resistance (Rs) of the NW networks under the deformation. In addition, several strategies are employed to improve further the robustness of the sheet resistance against the network deformation. In the case of bending, outstanding bending durability of a hybrid NW network coated on a 2-D sheet is confirmed with a numerical model, and a network of NWs aligned unidirectionally toward bend axis is introduced to alleviate the sheet resistance degradation. In the case of a narrowly patterned channel, the conductivity enhancement of a network of NWs aligned in parallel to the channel with reduced channel is validated, and a network made with two types of NWs with different lengths is suggested to enhance the tolerance of the electrical conductivity. The results offer useful design guidelines to the use of the 1-D NW percolation network for flexible transparent conducting electrodes.
