Abstract

Currently, and due to their unique properties, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and graphene (GA) are used extensively as filler materials to improve the performance of glass fiber-reinforced epoxy (GFRE). These additives can act as self-catalysts during treatment of the end-of-life GFRE products thermally and their conversion into energy products. In order to investigate this phenomenon, this research aims to study the effect of CNTs and graphene additives on pyrolysis characteristics of GFRE using thermogravimetry (TGA). The measurements were conducted on two different batches: CNTs/GFRE and GA/GFRE with filler concentration 0.04 wt.% and a batch fabricated using a vacuum-assisted resin transfer method. Also, the chemical compounds formulated during the decomposition process were analyzed using TG-FTIR and GC–MS system. In addition, the pyrolysis kinetics of both batches were simulated using linear isoconversional approaches (KAS, FWO, and Friedman) and nonlinear isoconversional approaches (Vyazovkin and Cai). Finally, the thermogravimetric analysis curves (TGA and DTG) were predicted using the distributed activation energy (DAEM) and the independent parallel reaction (IPR) models with a very small deviation. The ultimate and proximate measurement showed that both batches contained numerous volatile compounds (64%) and carbon element (30%). Meanwhile, TG measurements showed that the main composition zone was located in the range of 300–465 °C with weight loss of 38–40%. Aromatic benzene was the main function group in TG-FTIR result. Meanwhile, phenol, p-isopropenylphenol, phosphine oxide, and boron were the major compounds resulting from the GC–MS measurements. On the other hand, the pyrolysis kinetic analysis showed that the activation energies were estimated at 162–190 kJ/mol (linear isoconversional) and 171–177 kJ/mol (nonlinear isoconversional) with R² estimated at 98–99%. Based on that, the CNTs and graphene added to GFRE composites act as self-catalysts, hence contributing to improvement in the quantity of the obtained volatile compounds, and their composition affected significantly by the applied heating conditions.
