“…The mechanical properties of polymeric materials are also enhanced by the addition of carbon fibers, especially resins. Due to their prominent strength-weight and stiffness-weight ratios, carbon fibers are excellent reinforcements for resin composites [42], and drawbacks such as poor interfacial interactions with the polymer matrix can be overcome by surface modification, resulting in materials with improved mechanical properties [43,44]. The addition of carbon nanofillers also results in materials with improved electrical properties, as shown in recent papers.…”

Bio-based polyesters are a new class of materials that are expected to replace their fossil-based homologues in the near future. In this work, poly(propylene 2,5-furandicarboxylate) (PPF) nanocomposites with graphene nanoplatelets were prepared via the in-situ melt polycondensation method. The chemical structure of the resulting polymers was confirmed by 1H-NMR spectroscopy. Thermal stability, decomposition kinetics and the decomposition mechanism of the PPF nanocomposites were studied in detail. According to thermogravimetric analysis results, graphene nanoplatelets did nοt affect the thermal stability of PPF at levels of 0.5, 1.0 and 2.5 wt.%, but caused a slight increase in the activation energy values. Pyrolysis combined with gas chromatography and mass spectroscopy revealed that the decomposition mechanism of the polymer was not altered by the presence of graphene nanoplatelets but the extent of secondary homolytic degradation reactions was increased.

“…Nevertheless, Figure 10 (a4–c5) demonstrates that some bulges were induced when the molecular weights were increased to above 15,000. This is possibly due to the emulsions with high molecular weight were not conducive to spread over CFs [ 24 ].…”

The molecular weight of self-emulsifying amphiphilic epoxy sizing emulsions has a big effect on the carbon fibres and interfacial properties of their composites. Novel amphiphilic epoxy sizing emulsions with four different molecular weights (7500, 11,000, 15,000 and 17,000) were successfully prepared by a self-emulsifying method and applied to improve interfacial bonding between carbon fibres (CFs) and an epoxy resin (EP). The effect of molecular weight on the quality of emulsions, the sized CFs and the interfacial properties of the CF/EP composite system were studied. The results reveal that these novel sizing emulsions exhibited strong emulsifying ability and high processability. The most favourable wettability and adequate CF surface free energy were obtained by the emulsion with a molecular weight of 7500. Compared with unsized CFs, the monofilament fibre tensile performance was remarkably improved when increasing the shape parameter from 5.08 to 7.20. The interfacial sheer strength (IFSS) of the CF/EP composite was greatly increased by 96% with the emulsion of 7500. The enhanced interfacial adhesion benefits were attributed mainly from the enhanced charge interaction between CFs and the sizing layer as well as the compatibility and the mechanical interlock between the sizing layer and the epoxy matrix.

“…[114] While excellent compatibility of ILs with plenty of nanoparticles makes the ionogel nanocomposites show amazing potentials in the field of materials science. There has been a lot of ionogel nanocomposites developed, nanoparticles including SiO 2 , functionalized SiO 2 , halloysite nanotubes (HNTs), metal oxide (such Fe 3 O 4 ), carbon nanomaterials [115][116][117][118][119][120][121][122] and so on have been applied in ionogels to date. [123][124][125][126][127] It's worth noting that nanometal materials such as silver nanowires (AgNWs) or silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have been serving as conductive filler in hydrogels for a long time.…”

Ionogels have aroused wide interests in the field of flexible electronics. The combination of solid‐state networks and ionic liquids opens up thousands of possibilities for ionogels. The unique structures of ionogels endow them excellent mechanical properties, conductivity and thermal stability to approach the challenge of flexible electronic. A large number of new ionogels have been developed by different methods including the exchange of solution, polymeric ionic liquid and in‐situ reactions in ionic liquids (gelation of low molecular weight gelators, self‐assembly of block polymers, formation of double‐network structure, ionogel nanocomposites and direct polymerization of polymerizable monomers). The aim of this review is to discuss different preparation methods of ionogels and the comparison of their advantages.
