Abstract

Organically dispersible graphene nanosheets were fabricated by amine surfactant intercalated graphite oxide (GOAs) with ultrasonication below room temperature. Subsequently, GOAs filled nanocomposites of polylactide grafted with maleic anhydride (PLAgMA) were prepared directly by solution blending. The compatibilization effects provided by the functionalization of both constituents and their influence on the structure and properties of the final nanocomposites in different compositions were investigated. The interactions and structural morphology of the nanocomposites were examined by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, scanning and transmission electron microscopy. Thermal, dynamic-mechanical and conductive properties of these nanocomposites were investigated as a function of GOAs content. The detailed morphological and X-ray diffraction results revealed that the degree of GOAs dispersion enhanced with maleated PLA. Study of the dynamic-mechanical properties showed that both the storage modulus G’ and the loss modulus G” are very sensitive to the microstructure of the nanocomposite. The thermal properties of the nanocomposites were significantly influenced by the GOAs content due to the shielding and nucleating effect of exfoliated layers. Both the thermal and electrical conductivities showed substantial improvements with increasing GOAs content. The overall results pointed to the compatibilization synergy of GO functionalization and PLA maleation.
