Preparation of Polyethylene-Reduced Graphene Oxide and Polyethylene-Reduced Graphene Oxide-Aramid Composites

Abstract

In this study, reduced graphene oxide and aramid/ reduced graphene oxide were used a filler in polyethylene which is easy to process. Composite materials containing 0.1% of polymer were prepared by melt blending method using thermokinetic mixer and hot-cold isostatic press.Mechanical tensile analysis of the composites were examined. The results showed that these solid composites containing very low amounts (0.1%) of nano additives can be used easily in conventional plastic processing.

Polietilen-İndirgenmiş Grafen Oksit ve Polietilen-İndirgenmiş Grafen Oksit-Aramid Kompozitlerinin Hazırlanması

Abstract

Bu çalışmada işlenebilirliği kolay olan polietilene (PE) dolgu materyali olarak indirgenmiş grafen oksit (iGO) ve Aramid/iGO eklenmiştir. Polimerin % 0.1’ini içerecek şekilde kompozit materyaller eriyik harmanlama metodu ile termokinetik mikser ve sıcak-soğuk izostatik pres ile hazırlanmıştır. Elde edilen kompozitlerin mekanik çekme testleri incelenmiştir. Çok düşük oranlarda (% 0.1) nano katkı maddeleri içeren bu katı kompozit maddelerin konvansiyonel plastik işlemelerinde rahatlıkla kullanılabilecekleri gösterilmiştir.
