Novel Polymer Nanocomposites Recycled Carbon

项目摘要

Graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) recycled from petroleum waste products by Carbon Upcycling Technologies (CUT) can be used in polymer nanocomposites to play a significant role in many industrial applications. The University of Calgary (UC) will create new materials collaborating with CUT, by synthesizing composites of GNPs with polymers. These materials have potential to be used in automotive, aerospace's electronics and construction industries. These novel materials also have potential in barrier applications to lower permeability of water vapor, CO2 or other gases. Development of more complex printed circuit boards (PCBs) using polymer composite with graphene-like materials like the GNPs that will be studied in this grant can have significant impact. Considering society's strong desire for sustainability, this recycled filler material allows for reutilization of waste materials while increasing material properties of polymers. We will use the university's polymer processing facilities and characterization infrastructure combined with CUT's GNP manufacturing technology to fabricate novel nano materials that will be translated to Canadian polymer industry.We will implement a three-pronged attack, where the three sides are (i) synthesis and characterization of nanofiller, (ii) blending polymer with nanofiller to obtain desired morphology, and (iii) characterizing the final properties of generated conductive polymer nanocomposites (CPNs). Synthesis and manipulation of nanofiller structure provides researchers with an extra degree of freedom to radically improve properties of CPNs. Via synergy of industry and university collaboration, we can obtain customized nanofillers and novel nano composites. Moreover, a platform of different fillers with different levels of CO2 can be generated, and thus, we plan to initiate an extensive project on creating these nanocomposites, their processing behaviour and their corresponding properties. We will investigate several polymer matrices, such as nylon 6, nylon 6,6, epoxy, polypropylene, polyethylene, and poly(ethylene terephthalate). Four highly qualified personnel will be trained through this project.

通过碳升级技术（CUT）从石油废物中回收的石墨烯纳米片（GNP）可用于聚合物纳米复合材料，以在许多工业应用中发挥重要作用。卡尔加里大学（UC）将通过将GNP的复合材料与聚合物合成，并与CUT合作创建新材料。这些材料有可能用于汽车，航空航天的电子和建筑行业。这些新型材料在障碍物应用中也具有降低水蒸气，二氧化碳或其他气体的渗透性的潜力。使用聚合物复合材料和类似石墨烯的材料（如GNP）开发更复杂的印刷电路板（PCB），将在该赠款中进行研究，可能会产生重大影响。考虑到社会对可持续性的强烈渴望，这种回收的填充物材料允许废物材料重新化，同时提高聚合物的材料特性。我们将使用大学的聚合物处理设施和表征基础设施以及CUT的GNP制造技术来制造新颖的纳米材料，这些纳米材料将被转化为加拿大聚合物行业。我们将实施三个基本的攻击，其中三个方面是（I）的综合和特征，（i）纳米菲尔特（II），（ii）获得nanofirdired the Polymer的特征，以获得Nananofillirlielder（II），以获得Nananofillirliilder（II）（II）（II）（II）（II）（II）（II）（II）（II）（II）（II）（ii）（II）（II）（ii）（ii）均可获得Nananofirliilder（II）（ii）（II）。产生的导电聚合物纳米复合材料（CPN）。纳米填料结构的合成和操纵为研究人员提供了额外的自由度，可以从根本上改善CPN的性质。通过工业和大学合作的协同作用，我们可以获得定制的纳米填料和新颖的纳米复合材料。此外，可以生成具有不同级别CO2的不同填充剂平台，因此，我们计划启动一个广泛的项目，以创建这些纳米复合材料，它们的处理行为和相应的属性。我们将研究几种聚合物基质，例如尼龙6，尼龙6,6，环氧树脂，聚丙烯，聚乙烯和聚乙二醇二苯二甲酸酯）。通过该项目将对四名高素质的人员进行培训。
