Physical Changes

The composite materials for self-regulating heaters are conductive composites based on a polymer matrix and a dispersed conductive filler consisting in either carbon black or another carbon material, such as graphite or nanotubes. Similar materials are suitable for sensors and current limitations. As these materials used in heating applications work usually at elevated temperatures in presence of air, the ageing processes would be an important limiting factor of their lifetime. Therefore, thermal oxidation processes and crystallinity changes during the service of these products are of major interest in durability studies. The potential interference of carbon-based materials with the oxidation and ageing of polymer matrix shall be known in order to correctly estimate the durability of such materials. The effect of radiation exposure is studied taking into account the potential use of such materials in radiation environments. In this work, the activation energies of some initial, unaged and aged products at elevated temperatures are compared in order to characterize the effect of thermo-oxidative ageing and hence to evaluate their durability. The effect of some antioxidants is also discussed. The crystallinity, calculated from DSC was used for evaluation of the physical changes induced within the aged materials, following the procedures described in previous work. FTIR-ATR technique was used for characterization of chemical changes induced by ageing.

Electrically conductive composites based on high density polyethylene (HDPE) / ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) blends filled with carbon black were studied. The work is a part of the research of electrically conductive materials for the manufacture of self-regulating polymer heaters. In this work, the authors investigated composites based on HDPE/UHMWPE (molecular mass of ~ 7 million) blends filled with carbon black (average particle size ~ 20 nm). The goal of the work was to obtain a self-regulating electrically conductive polymer material with optimal thermoelectric characteristics and high heat resistance. It was shown that the effect of adding UHMWPE to the HDPE/carbon black composites on the thermoelectric behavior of the resulting material was similar to cross-linking. This reduced the undesirable effect of the negative thermal coefficient (NTC) of the electrical resistance. In addition, the heat resistance of the material at elevated temperatures was increased. This makes it possible to exclude the radiation or chemical cross-linking in the manufacture of self-regulating polymer heating elements. The rheological, mechanical and thermoelectric properties of HDPE/carbon black composites modified with UHMWPE were also studied. It was found that a diffusion interphase layer with a reduced fluidity in the melt of HDPE/UHMWPE blends was formed. It was established that self-regulating composites containing 30–40% of UHMWPE had the best operational properties. We can recommend the methods of extrusion and injection molding for the processing of HDPE/carbon black composites mixed with 30% UHMWPE, and the pressing method in case of UHMWPE content of 40%. The ability of the composites to be molded is sharply reduced at higher contents of UHMWPE.

Ionic Crosslinks

Abstract 1. Ionic bonding of carboxylated SBR with zinc oxide is detectable by means of measurements of the temperature dependence of tan δ. There is an α peak in the region of 60°C at 3.5 Hz. The position and shape of the α peak are strongly dependent on the state of cure of the vulcanizates. Without permanent crosslinking, the α peak is a plateau; as the crosslink density increases, the α peak becomes sharper and shifts to lower temperatures. The presence of carbon black causes the α peak to shift to higher temperatures, regardless of the presence of permanent crosslinks. 2. Ionic bonds in carboxylated SBR reacted with zinc oxide are in the form of ion clusters which function as crosslinks at room temperature. The ionic crosslinks provide carboxylated SBR with high tensile strength in the absence of reinforcing fillers. The presence of carbon black causes the 300% modulus to increase. The ionic crosslinks are labile, and the strength is lost at moderately elevated temperatures. A mixed cure system consisting of both sulfur and zinc oxide provides higher heat resistance than either of the single cure systems.

New System

A new system of thermoset styrene-based shape-memory polymer (SMP) filled with carbon black (CB) is investigated. To realize the electroactive stimuli of SMP, the electrical conductivity of SMP filled with various amounts of CB is characterized. The percolation threshold of electrically conductive SMP filled with CB is about 3% (volume fraction of CB), which is much lower than many other electrically conductive polymers. When applying a voltage of 30V, the shape recovery process of SMP/CB(10 vol%) can be realized in about 100s. In addition, the thermomechanical properties are also characterized by differential scanning calorimetery (DSC).

Polyamide 12

In this study, nanocomposites with polyamide 12 (PA12) as the polymer matrix and multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and carbon black (CB) at different loadings (2.5, 5.0, and 10.0 wt.%) as fillers, were produced in 3D printing filament form by melt mixing extrusion process. The filament was then used to build specimens with the fused filament fabrication (FFF) three-dimensional (3D) printing process. The aim was to produce by FFF 3D printing, electrically conductive and thermoelectric functional specimens with enhanced mechanical properties. All nanocomposites’ samples were electrically conductive at filler loadings above the electrical percolation threshold. The highest thermoelectric performance was obtained for the PA12/CNT nanocomposite at 10.0 wt.%. The static tensile and flexural mechanical properties, as well as the Charpy’s impact and Vickers microhardness, were determined. The highest improvement in mechanical properties was observed for the PA12/CNT nanocomposites at 5.0 wt.% filler loading. The fracture mechanisms were identified by fractographic analyses of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images acquired from fractured surfaces of tensile tested specimens. The nanocomposites produced could find a variety of applications such as; 3D-printed organic thermoelectric materials for plausible large-scale thermal energy harvesting applications, resistors for flexible circuitry, and piezoresistive sensors for strain sensing.

The electrical conductivity of concrete can be achieved by adding steel wires or functional fillers. Commonly used fillers are nanotubes, carbon black, nickel powder and so on. These fillers are expensive, but there is a possibility to use waste materials. This is the subject of this experiment. The conductive properties of conductive sand, sludge from the wire drawing process, iron grinding dust waste and waste carbon were verified. From these fillers, waste carbon showed the best electrical properties (impedance). The impedance of the waste carbon was 0.31 Ω and the impedance of the cement composite containing 70% of the weight of waste carbon was less than 670 Ω.
