Abstract
This study proposes new kinds of functionalization procedures able to preserve specific properties of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and to improve compatibility with the epoxy matrix. Through a covalent approach, for the first time, CNTs are functionalized with the same hardener agent, 4,4'-diaminodiphenyl sulfone, employed to solidify the epoxy matrix and capable to fulfill mechanical requirements of industrial structural resins. The same CNTs are non-covalently modified through the polymer wrapping mechanism with benzoxazine (Bz) terminated polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS). The comparison between electrical and mechanical properties of the nanocomposites highlights the success of the non-covalent functionalization in determining an increase in the glass transition temperature (Tg) and in better preserving the unfunctionalized CNT electrical conductivity. Besides, tunneling atomic force microscopy (TUNA), powerful to catch ultra-low currents, has been used for revealing the morphology on nanoscale domains and detecting the conductivity on the same location of CNT/epoxy resins. No electrical contacts to the grounds have been used for the TUNA analysis; a procedure that does not alter the results on the interface domains which experience contact areas with strong differences in their properties. The effectiveness of performed CNT functionalizations as a route to impart self-healing efficiency to the resin formulations has also been proved.

Properties of Conductive Polyacrylonitrile Fibers Prepared by Using Benzoxazine Modified Carbon Black. Polymers (Basel) 2020; 12:polym12010179. [PMID: 31936638 PMCID: PMC7023192 DOI: 10.3390/polym12010179] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/12/2019] [Revised: 12/26/2019] [Accepted: 01/01/2020] [Indexed: 11/30/2022] Open
Abstract
Composites of carbon black (CB) and polymers are attractive for producing conductive fibers. Herein, to achieve improved interactions with polymers, the surface of CB was modified to form 4-aminobenzoyl-functionalized carbon black (ABCB), benzoxazine-functionalized carbon black (BZCB), and Ag-anchored carbon black (Ag-ABCB). The surface-modified CBs were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and thermogravimetric analysis, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy was utilized to confirm the presence of Ag in Ag-ABCB. Conductive polyacrylonitrile (PAN) fibers were wet-spun with conductive fillers (CB, ABCB, Ag-ABCB, and BZCB) to investigate the effects of various functional groups on the electrical and mechanical properties. After annealing the conductive PAN fibers, the conductivity and tensile strength greatly increased, whereas the diameter decreased. Notably, the fiber with a BZCB/PAN weight ratio of 12/88 possessed a conductivity of 8.9 × 10−4 S/cm, and strength of 110.4 MPa, and thus the highest conductivity and best mechanical properties in the conductive PAN fiber. These results indicate that the annealed BZCB/PAN fibers have potential applications in the manufacturing of antistatic fabrics.

NANOMATERIALS 2019; 9:nano9060881. [PMID: 31197110 PMCID: PMC6631418 DOI: 10.3390/nano9060881] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/23/2019] [Revised: 06/05/2019] [Accepted: 06/10/2019] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
Smart materials with light-actuated shape memory effects are developed from renewable resources in this work. Bio-based benzoxazine resin is prepared from vanillin, furfurylamine, and paraformaldehyde by utilizing the Mannich-like condensation. Vanillin-furfurylamine-containing benzoxazine resin (V-fa) is subsequently copolymerized with epoxidized castor oil (ECO). When the copolymer is reinforced with multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), the resulting composite exhibits shape memory effects. Molecular characteristics of V-fa resin, ECO, and V-fa/ECO copolymers are obtained from Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. Curing behavior of V-fa/ECO copolymers is investigated by differential scanning calorimetry. Dynamic mechanical properties of MWCNT reinforced V-fa/ECO composites are determined by dynamic mechanical analysis. Morphological details and distribution of MWCNTs within the copolymer matrix are characterized by transmission electron microscopy. Shape memory performances of MWCNT reinforced V-fa/ECO composites are studied by shape memory tests performed with a universal testing machine. After a significant deformation to a temporary shape, the composites can be recovered to the original shape by near-infrared (NIR) laser actuation. The shape recovery process can be stimulated at a specific site of the composite simply by focusing NIR laser to that site. The shape recovery time of the composites under NIR actuation is four times faster than the shape recovery process under conventional thermal activation. Furthermore, the composites possess good shape fixity and good shape recovery under NIR actuation.

Abstract
In this study, we synthesized a novel multifunctional benzoxazine monomer (Coumarin-COOH BZ), possessing both coumarin and COOH groups, through the reaction of 4-methyl-7-hydroxycoumarin, 4-aminobenzoic acid, and paraformaldehyde in 1,4-dioxane, with the structure confirmed using ¹H and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), FTIR spectroscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis were then employed to monitor the thermal curing behavior of Coumarin-COOH BZ and its blends with poly(N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone) (PVP), both before and after photodimerization of the coumarin moieties. DSC revealed a single glass transition temperature for each Coumarin-COOH BZ/PVP blend composition; a large positive deviation based on the Kwei equation suggested that strong hydrogen bonding existed between the Coumarin-COOH BZ and PVP segments, confirmed through FTIR spectroscopic analyses. The thermal properties improved (i.e., increased glass transition and thermal degradation temperatures) as a result of the increased crosslinking density after photodimerization under UV exposure.

Abstract
The organic/inorganic hybrid materials from polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS, inorganic nanoparticles) and polybenzoxazine (PBZ) have received much interesting recently due to their excellent thermal and mechanical properties, flame retardance, low dielectric constant, well-defined inorganic framework at nanosized scale level, and higher performance relative to those of non-hybrid PBZs. This review describes the synthesis, dielectric constants, and thermal, rheological, and mechanical properties of covalently bonded mono- and multifunctionalized benzoxazine POSS hybrids, other functionalized benzoxazine POSS derivatives, and non-covalently (hydrogen) bonded benzoxazine POSS composites.

Abstract
In this paper we report the first observation, through X-ray diffraction, of noncovalent uracil-uracil (U-U) dimeric π-stacking interactions in carbon nanotube (CNT)-based supramolecular assemblies. The directionally oriented morphology determined using atomic force microscopy revealed highly organized behavior through π-stacking of U moieties in a U-functionalized CNT derivative (CNT-U). We developed a dispersion system to investigate the bio-inspired interactions between an adenine (A)-terminated poly(3-adeninehexyl thiophene) (PAT) and CNT-U. These hybrid CNT-U/PAT materials interacted through π-stacking and multiple hydrogen bonding between the U moieties of CNT-U and the A moieties of PAT. Most importantly, the U···A multiple hydrogen bonding interactions between CNT-U and PAT enhanced the dispersion of CNT-U in a high-polarity solvent (DMSO). The morphology of these hybrids, determined using transmission electron microscopy, featured grape-like PAT bundles wrapped around the CNT-U surface; this tight connection was responsible for the enhanced dispersion of CNT-U in DMSO.
