Performance evaluation of fructose-functionalized multiwalled carbon nanotubes/biodegradable poly(amide–imide) based on N,N′-(pyromellitoyl)-bis-S-valine bionanocomposite

Abstract: Carboxyl-modified multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were functionalized with fructose as a biological active molecule in a green method. Then a simple ultrasonication-assisted solution blending process was used to disperse the fructose-functionalized MWCNTs (f-MWCNTs) into a biodegradable poly(amide–imide) (PAI) efficiently to obtain PAI/f-MWCNT bionanocomposites. The effect of f-MWCNT on thermal and structural properties of PAI was investigated by several techniques, including powder X-ray diffraction, fi… Show more

“…Thermal degradation is observed in rGO S ( Figure 4 A), where graphite functional groups (OH, C–O–C) are still found in the peak at 218.9 °C [ 56 ] and starch degradation at 301.8 °C [ 57 ]. Figure 4 B presents the two main peaks of rGO F at 204.5 and 339.1 °C, which are both reported as thermal degradation of the fructose grafted onto carbon nanostructures [ 58 , 59 , 60 , 61 , 62 ]. In both rGO S and rGO F weight loss at temperatures below 150 °C increased considerably (water evaporation) due to the presence of polar groups of organic molecules increasing water absorption in the nanohybrids.…”

“…In recent years, carbon nanotechnology has been the focus of research and is widely used in many fields, due to their excellent physical and chemical properties, and the development of carbon nanomaterials has promoted the progress in materials, medicine, chemical engineering, artificial intelligence, and other fields. Multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) is a new type of high-strength carbon material, which has unusual mechanical, electrical, and chemical properties, and it is usually used as effective reinforcement of the composite; exhibits good strength, elasticity, fatigue resistance, and isotropy; and greatly improves the performances of the composite [8][9][10]. Unmodified MWCNTs are prone to reunite in the polymer matrix, so the modification of MWCNTs is very important [11,12].…”

“…12 To solve these problems in the most effective way, the nanotubes' surface is fuctionalized. [13][14][15][16][17][18][19] Surface functionalization of nanotubes helps to stabilize the dispersion, prevents the reaggregation nanotubes, and the polymer matrix leads to a coupling with the nanotubes.…”
