Synthesis and characterization of graphene oxide filled ethylene methyl acrylate hybrid nanocomposites

Abstract

Graphene oxide (GO) filled ethylene methyl acrylate (EMA) hybrid nanocomposites containing both organic–inorganic features were fabricated via facile solution intercalation technique.

Improvement of Mechanical and Self-Healing Properties for Polymethacrylate Derivatives Containing Maleimide Modified Graphene Oxide

“…A similar tendency with a relatively higher dispersity of GO in FEEMA64_GO0.030 wt% than one in FEEMA64_GO0.050 wt% is also observed in the nanocomposite containing GO, as shown in Figure 5c,d. This implies that the agglomerated GO, which could induce even the formation of a void, disrupts the orientation of the polymer chain in the nanocomposite [57], which in turn relatively degrades mechanical properties of FEEMA64_GO0.050 wt% [58].…”

Mechanically robust conductive carbon clusters confined ethylene methyl acrylate–based flexible composites for superior shielding effectiveness

“…But they have severe limitations for poor processing behavior and mechanical strength . EMA (Ethylene methyl acrylate) is a commercially available polymer, which has high strength to weight ratio, ageing and weather resistance, wide range of application temperature, lower density in comparison with the major plastics, and very low temperature flexibility even in absence of any plasticizer . Combination of polar (acrylate) and nonpolar (ethylene) domains of EMA backbone can improve dispersion and distribution of filler through the matrices to give extensive interconnected network beside the mechanical robustness and thermal stability.…”

“…absence of any plasticizer. 30,31 Combination of polar (acrylate) and nonpolar (ethylene) domains of EMA backbone can improve dispersion and distribution of filler through the matrices to give extensive interconnected network beside the mechanical robustness and thermal stability. Thus, it is a great opportunity to improve mechanical, conducting, and shielding properties of the composite where conducting carbon black (VXC) plays a significant role.…”

Superior electromagnetic interference shielding effectiveness and low percolation threshold through the preferential distribution of carbon black in the highly flexible polymer blend composites

“…In theoretical point, with the addition of filler, the overall strength of the material is to be increased due to the availability of higher filler-surface area for the attachment of polymer chains. But beyond a particular filler loading, VCB is not imparting any strengthening or reinforcing effect [41]. A reduction in elongation at break was also noticed with filler addition.…”
