Synergistic Effect of Metal Oxide and Carbon Nanoparticles on the Thermal and Mechanical Properties of Polyimide Composite Films
In this paper, we report on novel polyimide (PI) nanocomposites filled with binary mixtures of metal oxide (either TiO<sub>2</sub> or ZrO<sub>2</sub>) nanoparticles and nanocarbon (either carbon nanofibers (CNFs) or functionalized carbon nanotubes (CNT<sub>f</sub>...

| description | In this paper, we report on novel polyimide (PI) nanocomposites filled with binary mixtures of metal oxide (either TiO<sub>2</sub> or ZrO<sub>2</sub>) nanoparticles and nanocarbon (either carbon nanofibers (CNFs) or functionalized carbon nanotubes (CNT<sub>f</sub>s)). The structure and morphology of the materials obtained were comprehensively studied. An exhaustive investigation of their thermal and mechanical properties was performed. We revealed a synergistic effect of the nanoconstituents with regard to a number of functional characteristics of the PIs compared with single-filler nanocomposites, including thermal stability, stiffness (below and above glass transition temperature), yield point, and temperature of flowing. Moreover, the possibility of manipulating the properties of the materials by choosing a proper combination of the nanofillers was demonstrated. The results obtained can become a platform in the design of PI-based engineering materials with tailored characteristics capable of operating in extreme conditions. |
