“…Polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) has excellent mechanical, chemical and electrical properties [ 1 ]. Due to its excellent comprehensive performance, it is one of the five most commonly used plastics and is widely used in the fields of electronics and electrical appliances, automotive industry and machinery, instruments and household appliances, etc.…”

“…For PBT, previous studies revealed that the addition of graphite or GO could improve the crystallinity and strength of PBT, and the determining role was the compatibility between the filler and the matrix [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 24 , 25 ]. Bian et al [ 24 ] successfully prepared a series of nanocomposites based on PBT and microwave-exfoliated graphite oxide nanosheets (MEGONSs) via melt-compounding technique, and studied the structures, thermal stabilities, mechanical, rheological and electrical properties of the composites.…”

In this study, the surface modification on graphene oxide (GO) was performed using octadecylamine (ODA). Furthermore, polybutylene terephthalate/GO (PBT/GO) composites were prepared to elucidate the role of GO surface modification on the mechanical performance, thermal stability and crystallization behavior. Results of Fourier transform infrared spectra (FT-IR), Raman spectrum, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and transmission electron microscope (TEM) revealed that ODA was successfully grafted on GO. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD), tensile test, Izod impact strength test and TGA were carried out on the PBT/GO composites. Results indicated that the addition of raw GO can enhance the crystallization temperature and degree of crystallinity and can slightly improve the thermal stability and tensile strength of the composites. However, the impact strength and elongation at break were seriously decreased owing to the poor compatibility between the GO and PBT matrix. Once the modified GO was added, the crystallization temperature and degree of crystallinity were greatly increased. The tensile strength increased greatly while the elongation at break and Izod impact strength were efficiently maintained; these were evidently higher than those of PBT/raw GO. Moreover, thermal stability was greatly enhanced. SEM (scanning electron microscope) observation results on the impact-fractured surface clearly confirmed the improved compatibility between the modified GO and PBT matrix. A related mechanism had been discussed.

Mechanical properties of wollastonite reinforced thermoplastic composites: A review

et al. 2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Wollastonite is a functional filler that has great potential to be used in thermoplastic composites, replacing more expensive reinforcement such as glass fiber. Wollastonite-reinforced polymer composite materials have attracted the attentions from research field and industries due to their biocompatibility and reinforcing ability in polymers. Due to the relatively high aspect ratio and hardness, wollastonite is able to improve the tensile and flexural strength of polymer composites. Many researches have been conducted to determine various properties of wollastonite reinforced polymer composites such as mechanical, flammability, thermal, and tribological properties in order to explore their potential in various applications. This review will focus on mechanical properties of wollastonite reinforced thermoplastic composites. Overall, it can be concluded that the properties of wollastonite-filled polymer composites are the function of filler content, adhesion interactions of wollastonite particles with polymer matrix, size and shape of wollastonite particles.Further research and development are needed to widen its application, and these include the use of nano-size wollastonite which can be produced synthetically as functional filler in thermoplastics.
