We used air oxidation to self-polymerize dopamine(DOPA) to ensure that the PPTA powder was coated. Our results indicate that the modified surface of PPTA powder enhances compatibility with the polymer matrix without damaging its structure. Additionally, it is possible to control the coating thickness of PDOPA by regulating the reaction time. The modified PPTA powder improved the comprehensive property of ethylene-propylene-diene-terpolymer grafted maleic anhydride(EPDM-g-MAH), and it proved that this method can enhance the strength and electric insulativity of EPDM-g-MAH.展开更多

It shows that PPTA pulp has feather-like branch, needle point-likeend, and irregular cross-section, which are very important for PPTA pulp as a reinforcer. Theseparation limitation of PPTA pulp is also investigated from both torn and brittle break cross-sec-tion. A packing mechanism is proposed to illustrate the microfibril packing in the gel system.展开更多
