A simple and cost-effective strategy to create a strong interfacial interaction of coordination bonds in graphene oxide/poly(ethylene oxide) (GO/PEO) nanocomposites by divalent metal ions are demonstrated in this study. The strong interfacial interaction realizes efficient load transfer during the tensile process to significantly improve the mechanical properties of PEO. In addition, the dynamic interfacial interaction of coordination bonds minimizes the elongation loss. This strategy is applicable to a variety of polymer matrices containing coordination atoms, thus opens up a new opportunity for high-performance GO/polymer nanocomposites with significantly improved mechanical properties.

Balanced mechanical properties are always the goal of high-performance general plastics for engineering purposes. In order to develop uniformly dispersed graphene oxide/poly(L-lactic acid) nanocomposites with balanced mechanical properties, a poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) grafted graphene oxide was introduced into poly(L-lactic acid) (PLLA) matrix. The PEG grafted graphene oxide (GEG) was confirmed by the results of fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra and thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA). Then the mechanical properties of the nanohybrids were measured. The results showed that in contrast to the aggregation of GO, GEG could uniformly disperse in PLLA matrix. An intriguing phenomenon is that thanks to the strong interfacial interaction between GEG and PLLA, it exhibits a substantial enhancement of the elongation at break (EB) as well as a simultaneous improvement of the tensile strength (TS), while the addition of GO decreases the EB of PLLA matrix. This work provides a potential industrialized technique for high-performance PLLA nanocomposites

Morphology And Mechanical Properties

The aim of the present work was to investigate how the molecular weight (MW) of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO), a synthetic polymer able to improve alginate (ALG) electrospinnability, could affect ALG-based fiber morphology and mechanical properties. Two PEO grades, having different MWs (high, h-PEO, and low, l-PEO) were blended with ALG: the concentrations of both PEOs in each mixture were defined so that each h-PEO/l-PEO combination would show the same viscosity at high shear rate. Seven ALG/h-PEO/l-PEO mixtures were prepared and characterized in terms of viscoelasticity and conductivity and, for each mixture, a complex parameter rH/rL was calculated to better identify which of the two PEO grades prevails over the other in terms of exceeding the critical entanglement concentration. Thereafter, each mixture was electrospun by varying the process parameters; the fiber morphology and mechanical properties were evaluated. Finally, viscoelastic measurements were performed to verify the formation of intermolecular hydrogen bonds between the two PEO grades and ALG. rH/rL has been proved to be the parameter that better explains the effect of the electrospinning conditions on fiber dimension. The addition of a small amount of h-PEO to l-PEO was responsible for a significant increase in fiber mechanical resistance, without affecting the nano-scale fiber size. Moreover, the mixing of h-PEO and l-PEO improved the interaction with ALG, resulting in an increase in chain entanglement degree that is functional in the electrospinning process.
