Processable conductive graphene/polyethylene nanocomposites: Effects of graphene dispersion and polyethylene blending with oxidized polyethylene on rheology and microstructure

Journal Article Iqbal, Muhammad Z. ; Abdala, Ahmed A. ; Mittal, Vikas ; ... - Polymer

Poor dispersion of graphene in non-polar polymer matrices creates composites with limited applications. A method to improve the dispersion of graphene in polyethylene (PE) via blending PE with oxidized PE (OPE) is examined. Graphene was produced by simultaneous thermal exfoliation and reduction of graphite oxide. Nanocomposites of graphene with PE as well as graphene with PE/OPE-blends were prepared by solvent blending. Improved dispersion of graphene in PE/OPE blends substantially decreases percolation from both rheological (0.3 vol%) and electrical (0.13 vol%) measurements compared to neat PE nanocomposites (1 and 0.29 vol%), respectively. A universal Brownian dispersion of graphene in polymers wasmore »« less

Effect of Dispersion Medium Composition and Ionomer Concentration on the Microstructure and Rheology of Fe–N–C Platinum Group Metal-free Catalyst Inks for Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cells

Journal Article Khandavalli, Sunilkumar ; Iyer, Radhika ; Park, Jae Hyung ; ... - Langmuir

In this paper, we present an investigation of the microstructure and rheological behavior of catalyst inks consisting of Fe–N–C platinum group metal-free catalysts and a perfluorosulfonic acid ionomer in a dispersion medium (DM) of water and 1-propanol (nPA). The effects of the ionomer-to-catalyst (I/C) ratio and weight percentage of water (H₂O %) in the DM on the ink microstructure were studied. Steady-shear and dynamic-oscillatory-shear rheology, in combination with synchrotron X-ray scattering, was utilized to understand interparticle interactions and the level of agglomeration of the inks. In the absence of the ionomer, the inks were significantly agglomerated, approaching a gel-like microstructuremore »« less

Effect of nitrogen doping on wetting and photoactive properties of laser processed zinc oxide-graphene oxide nanocomposite layers

Journal Article György, E., E-mail: egyorgy@icmab.es ; National Institute for Lasers, Plasma and Radiation Physics, P. O. Box MG 36, 76900 Bucharest V ; Pérez del Pino, A. ; ... - Journal of Applied Physics

Zinc oxide-graphene oxide nanocomposite layers were submitted to laser irradiation in air or controlled nitrogen atmosphere using a frequency quadrupled Nd:YAG (λ = 266 nm, τ{sub FWHM} ≅ 3 ns, ν = 10 Hz) laser source. The experiments were performed in air at atmospheric pressure or in nitrogen at a pressure of 2 × 10{sup 4} Pa. The effect of the irradiation conditions, incident laser fluence value, and number of subsequent laser pulses on the surface morphology of the composite material was systematically investigated. The obtained results reveal that nitrogen incorporation improves significantly the wetting and photoactive properties of the laser processed layers. The kinetics of water contact angle variation whenmore »« less

TiO{sub 2} nanocomposite with reduced graphene oxide through facile blending and its photocatalytic behavior for hydrogen evolution

Journal Article Pei, Fuyun ; Liu, Yingliang ; Zhang, Li ; ... - Materials Research Bulletin

Graphical abstract: - Highlights: • TRG-COOH nanocomposite as a photocatalyst for hydrogen evolution is prepared. • The reduction of graphene oxide reconstructs a part of conjugated structure. • The band gap is red-shifted due to the reconstruction of conjugated structure. • RG-COOH covered and anchored by P25 blocks the aggregation and the stacking. • The photocatalytic efficiency of TRG-COOH was increased under 500 W Xenon lamp. - Abstract: TRG-COOH nanocomposite is prepared as a photocatalyst for hydrogen evolution by blending TiO{sub 2} with reduced graphene oxide (RG-COOH).

Synthesis and characterization of polyethylene/oxidized polyethylene miscible blends and role of OPE as a viscosity control

Journal Article Iqbal, Muhammad Z. ; Abdala, Ahmed A. ; Liberatore, Matthew W. - Journal of Applied Polymer Science

Polymer blending allows for new materials to be designed with unique properties. Here, blends of linear low density polyethylene (PE) and oxidized polyethylene (OPE) have been prepared. PE/OPE blends are characterized for their molten state properties by thermal analysis and rheology; the solid state properties are studied by scattering, diffraction, and tensile testing. Melt miscibility was confirmed by a negative Flory-Huggins interaction parameter (χ ~ -2.3) from Hoffman-Weeks plots. Additionally, a continuous decrease in melting temperature (from 123 to 119 °C) and thermal stability of blends (25% weight loss from 454 to 416 °C) was observed with increasing OPE loadingmore »« less
