Tailoring Interfacial Interactions via Polymer-Grafted Nanoparticles Improves Performance of Parts Created by 3D Printing

Journal Article Street, Dayton P. ; Mah, Adeline Huizhen ; Ledford, William K. ; ... - ACS Applied Polymer Materials

Decorating nanoparticle surfaces with end-tethered chains provides a way to mediate interfacial interactions in polymer nanocomposites. Here, polymer-grafted nanoparticles are investigated for their impact on the performance of polymer structures created by fused filament fabrication (FFF). The nanoscale organization of poly(methyl methacrylate)-grafted nanoparticles (PMMA-g-NPs) in PMMA matrices is examined via small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS). SAXS data indicate that all nanocomposites exhibit particle–particle interactions, indicating that nanoparticles are locally clustered. Additionally, increasing the loading level of PMMA-g-NPs produces modest changes in T_g but significant increases in the complex viscosity and storage modulus, suggesting that the number density of entanglements between graftmore »« less

Multiscale Dynamics of Polymers in Particle-Rich Nanocomposites

Journal Article Mangal, Rahul ; Wen, Yu Ho ; Choudhury, Snehashis ; ... - Macromolecules

In this paper we report on the dynamics of entangled polymers in polymer–nanoparticle composites (PNCs) with moderate and high particle loadings. Using composites comprised of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG)-tethered silica (SiO₂) nanoparticles and poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA), we show by means of small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) analysis that the nanoparticles are uniformly dispersed over a range of particle concentrations. From oscillatory shear rheology measurements, we find that the time–temperature superposition (TTS) principle holds for these SiO₂-PEG/PMMA PNCs up to a particle concentration Φ_G ≈ 11% where the materials begin to exhibit soft glassy rheological properties. At particle concentrations below Φ_G, we takemore »« less

Nanostructural features in silica-polyvinyl acetate nanocomposites characterized by small-angle scattering.

Journal Article Narayanan, R A ; Thiyagarajan, P ; Zhu, A J ; ... - Polymer

Small-angle scattering (SAS) experiments were carried out on nanocomposites of poly(vinyl acetate) (PVAc) and fumed silica nanoparticles with different surface areas and chemical treatment, in the wave-vector (Q) range: 0.0002-1 Angstrom{sup -1}. SAS data on composites with matrices of two different molecular weights indicate that the particle aggregation is independent of the molecular weight of the matrix for a fixed filler concentration and surface treatment. Particle size distributions derived from the SAS data suggest that particle aggregation is reduced when the native surface hydroxyl groups are blocked by various surface treatments, which also reduce the bonding strength to the polymermore »« less

Understanding the Static Interfacial Polymer Layer by Exploring the Dispersion States of Nanocomposites

Journal Article Genix, Anne-Caroline ; Bocharova, Vera ; Carroll, Bobby ; ... - ACS Applied Materials and Interfaces

The dynamic and static properties of the interfacial region between polymer and nanoparticles have wide-ranging consequences on performances of nanomaterials. The thickness and density of the static layer are particularly difficult to assess experimentally due to superimposing nanoparticle interactions. Here, we tune the dispersion of silica nanoparticles in nanocomposites by preadsorption of polymer layers in the precursor solutions, and by varying the molecular weight of the matrix chains. Nanocomposite structures ranging from ideal dispersion to repulsive order or various degrees of aggregation are generated and observed by small-angle scattering. Preadsorbed chains are found to promote ideal dispersion, before desorption inmore »« less

Polymer nanocomposites for high-temperature composite repair

Thesis/Dissertation Sheng, Xia

A novel repair agent for resin-injection repair of advanced high temperature composites was developed and characterized. The repair agent was based on bisphenol E cyanate ester (BECy) and reinforced with alumina nanoparticles. To ensure good dispersion and compatibility with the BECy matrix in nanocomposites, the alumina nanoparticles were functionalized with silanes. The BECy nanocomposites, containing bare and functionalized alumina nanoparticles, were prepared and evaluated for their thermal, mechanical, rheological, and viscoelastic properties. The monomer of BECy has an extremely low viscosity at ambient temperature, which is good for processability. The cured BECy polymer is a highly cross-linked network with excellentmore »« less
