原位制备还原氧化石墨烯增强环氧树脂基复合材料及其形状记忆性能

Preparation of reduced graphene oxide-reinforced epoxy resin composites and their shape memory properties

采用原位法制备不同含量还原氧化石墨烯(r GO)/环氧树脂(EP)复合材料。研究r GO含量对r GO/EP复合材料力学性能和形状记忆性能的影响。结果表明,通过溶剂热还原,填充到环氧树脂单体中的GO原位还原成r GO,并可均匀分散在EP基体中。该复合材料的拉伸强度、弹性模量和储能模量均随r GO含量增加呈先升后降态势,在w(r GO)=0.2%(相对于环氧树脂的质量而言)时相对最大;随着r GO含量增加,复合材料的玻璃化转变温度随之增加。当w(r GO)=0.6%时,玻璃化转变温度Tg相对纯环氧树脂提高约45℃,达到102℃,热稳定性显著提高。相应的复合材料具有良好的形状记忆性能,变形可以完全恢复,且r GO/EP复合材料相对纯环氧树脂具有更高的形状固定率与形状恢复温度。

Novel shape memory composites based on reduced graphene oxide （rGO）-reinforced epoxy resin （EP） composites were prepared by a solution mixing and solvothermal reduction method. The effect of rGO content on the mechanical and shape memory properties of the rGO/EP composites was investigated. Results showed that the GO uniformly dispersed in the EP matrix was reduced in-situ to rGO by the solvothermal reduction. The composite had the maximum tensile strength and modulus when the mass fraction of, rGO was 0.2%. When the mass fraction of rGO was 0.6%, the glass transition temperature （ Tg ） of the composite was 102 ℃, 45 ℃ higher than that of pure EP, and the corresponding composite has a good shape memory property with its deform- ation fully recovered.
