Mechanical properties of polymer grafted nanoparticle composites

Polymer nanocomposites have improved mechanical, optical and thermal properties compared to traditional thermoplastics. To study the impact of grafted brush–matrix interactions on the mechanical properties of nanoparticle filled polymers, uniaxial tensile testing with digital image correlation (DIC)...

Mechanical properties of polymer grafted nanoparticle composites
description Polymer nanocomposites have improved mechanical, optical and thermal properties compared to traditional thermoplastics. To study the impact of grafted brush–matrix interactions on the mechanical properties of nanoparticle filled polymers, uniaxial tensile testing with digital image correlation (DIC) was done on polystyrene (PS) grafted SiO2 in low molecular weight (MW) (N ∼ P), N = degree of polymerization of grafted brush, P = degree of polymerization of matrix, and high MW (2N = P) matrices at different loadings. The low matrix MW composites had higher strength than high MW composites at high loading but lower strength than the pure matrix. The high matrix MW composites had higher toughness at low loadings. SEM images of fracture surfaces revealed particle debonding and plastic void growth in the high toughness samples. The results show that the P/N ratio of polymer grafted nanoparticle composites is important for controlling the mechanical properties of polymer nanocomposites.
