Surface modification of highly hydrophobic polyester fabric coated with octadecylamine-functionalized graphene nanosheets

Abstract

<p>This study focuses on the design of highly hydrophobic polyester fabrics (PET) coated with organophilic graphene nanosheets (G-ODA) through a simple, cost-effective and scalable coating method.</p>

Thermal Stability, Dynamic Mechanical Analysis and Flammability Properties of Woven Kenaf/Polyester-Reinforced Polylactic Acid Hybrid Laminated Composites

“…Teh et al [61] reported that the formation of the volatile oligomers has contributed to the weight loss of polyester at this temperature range. The decomposition temperature range of the polyester fiber obtained also agrees with the finding by Achagri et al [62].…”

Chemically modified carbon nanostructures and 2D nanomaterials for fabrics performing under operational tension and extreme environmental conditions

“…13). 84 The PET@G-ODA showcased remarkable water repellency compared to the reference PET fabric, with water contact angle up to 1481 with just 7 wt% loading of G-ODA on the fabric.…”

Study of the dielectric heating of graphite oxide and its effect on the microwave‐assisted synthesis of Nylon‐6/graphite oxide polymeric hybrid nanocomposites

“…[4][5][6] These hybrid polymeric graphene nanocomposites (HPNC) exhibit better performances compared to conventional nanocomposites [7][8][9] attributed to improved dispersion and interfacial adhesion between rGO and the matrix. [10][11][12][13] The preparation of HPNCs can be accomplished by either "grafting to" or "grafting from" approaches. "Grafting from" involves the polymerization of monomer molecules onto graphene oxide (GO) functional groups.…”

“…In some GPNCs, the polymer chains are covalently grafted onto the surface of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) sheets resulting in a hybrid material 4–6 . These hybrid polymeric graphene nanocomposites (HPNC) exhibit better performances compared to conventional nanocomposites 7–9 attributed to improved dispersion and interfacial adhesion between rGO and the matrix 10–13 . The preparation of HPNCs can be accomplished by either “grafting to” or “grafting from” approaches.…”
