The exceptional properties of carbon nanoparticles, such as graphene, promise to expand the performance and functionality of many materials. The reinforcement of polymers is of keen interest due to their low density and flexible manufacturing methods. However, dispersing graphene in them has proven to be an enduring challenge due to the particles’ propensity to form performance degrading agglomerations. Furthermore, effective solvents for nanoparticle dispersion are commonly harmful, non-renewable, petrochemicals. In this work, a bio-derived solvent, 1,4-cineole, is demonstrated as a renewable alternative to these solvents that can be used to form highly stable graphene nanoplatelet (GnP) suspensions and used to gel spin well-dispersed UHMWPE/GnP nanocomposite fibers. The GnP concentration in the fibers was varied across three orders of magnitude, 0.01 wt% to 1 wt%, to examine its effect on fiber microstructure and properties. At low concentrations the particles act as point defects without affecting the fiber microstructure, and poor particle/matrix interfacial adhesion results in significantly reduced mechanical properties. At 1 wt% GnPs, a network effect takes hold thereby reinforcing the fibers, but the particles also impede the growth and orientation of crucial load-carrying crystalline structures in the fiber. Furthermore, unveiling the microstructural effects of GnPs on highly oriented and crystalline polymers in this study provides crucial insights for future work developing high-performance polymer nanocomposite fibers.
