Ag@BN/phthalonitrile resin composites were prepared using highly thermally conductive BN modified by Ag plating. The effects of different contents of Ag@BN particles on the dynamic mechanical properties, thermal stability, and thermal conductivity of composites were examined. The results of Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray powder diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy analyses showed that Ag was successfully deposited on the surface of BN. The prepared Ag@BN was subjected to KH550 grafting treatment. With the increase in the content of Ag@BN/KH550, the storage modulus, thermal stability, and thermal conductivity of the composite increased. The storage modulus, decomposition temperature, and thermal conductivity of the Ag@BN/phthalonitrile composite with 20 wt.% Ag@BN/KH550 were 5.0 GPa, 539°C, and 0.80 W/(mK), respectively, which are 1.35, 1.18, and 3.33 times higher than those of pure resin, respectively. The compatibility and dispersibility of BN modified by Ag plating in phthalonitrile resin were effectively enhanced, thereby providing a potential candidate to be used at high-temperature devices with high thermal conductivity.

Aggregated boron nitride (ABN) is advantageous for increasing the packing and thermal conductivity of the matrix in composite materials, but can deteriorate the mechanical properties by breaking during processing. In addition, there are few studies on the use of Ti3C2 MXene as thermally conductive fillers. Herein, the development of a novel composite film is described. It incorporates MXene and ABN into poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) to achieve a high thermal conductivity. Polysilazane (PSZ)-coated ABN formed a heat conduction path in the composite film, and MXene supported it to further improve the thermal conductivity. The prepared polymer composite film is shown to provide through-plane and in-plane thermal conductivities of 1.51 and 4.28 W/mK at total filler contents of 44 wt.%. The composite film is also shown to exhibit a tensile strength of 11.96 MPa, which is much greater than that without MXene. Thus, it demonstrates that incorporating MXene as a thermally conductive filler can enhance the thermal and mechanical properties of composite films.

The aim of this research was to reduce and improve the brittleness and thermal properties of poly lactic acid (PLA), respectively. Epoxidized natural rubber (ENR) was used to enhance the toughness and rutile titanium dioxide (R-TiO2) as filler was also incorporated to improve the thermal properties of the PLA. 10wt% ENR with epoxidation contents of 25 mol% (ENR25) and 50 mol% (ENR50) and various R-TiO2contents (0-10 phr)were compounded with PLA by using a twin-screw extruder at 155-165°C and a rotor speed of 40 rpm. The pellets of blends were then formed a thin film using a cast film extruder machine and cooled down under air flow. Thermal and mechanical properties and morphology of PLA/ENR/R-TiO2thin film were investigated. The crystallinity of PLA was found to increase with addition of ENR. The mechanical properties of thin film showed that the ENR50 enhanced the elongation but reduced the tensile strength of PLA with addition of R-TiO2at 5 and 10 phr, respectively. The TGA indicated that the addition of 10 phr R-TiO2increased in the decomposition temperature at 5% weight loss (Td5%) of PLA/ENR film. Thus the thermal stability of PLA/ENR50 was found to improve with addition of R-TiO2. From morphology study, the ENR50 phase showed a good dispersion in the PLA matrix. In conclusion, the addition of ENR and R-TiO2was found to enhance both toughness and thermal stability of PLA.

Residual hemicellulose could enhance cellulose nanofiber (CNF) processing as it impedes the agglomeration of the nanocellulose fibrils and contributes to complete nanofibrillation within a shorter period of time. Its effect on CNF performance as a reinforcement material is unclear, and hence this study seeks to evaluate the performance of CNF in the presence of amorphous hemicellulose as a reinforcement material in a polypropylene (PP) nanocomposite. Two types of CNF were prepared: SHS-CNF, which contained about 11% hemicellulose, and KOH-CNF, with complete hemicellulose removal. Mechanical properties of the PP/SHS-CNF and PP/KOH-CNF showed an almost similar increment in tensile strength (31% and 32%) and flexural strength (28% and 29%) when 3 wt.% of CNF was incorporated in PP, indicating that hemicellulose in SHS-CNF did not affect the mechanical properties of the PP nanocomposite. The crystallinity of both PP/SHS-CNF and PP/KOH-CNF nanocomposites showed an almost similar value at 55–56%. A slight decrement in thermal stability was seen, whereby the decomposition temperature at 10% weight loss (Td10%) of PP/SHS-CNF was 6 °C lower at 381 °C compared to 387 °C for PP/KOH-CNF, which can be explained by the degradation of thermally unstable hemicellulose. The results from this study showed that the presence of some portion of hemicellulose in CNF did not affect the CNF properties, suggesting that complete hemicellulose removal may not be necessary for the preparation of CNF to be used as a reinforcement material in nanocomposites. This will lead to less harsh pretreatment for CNF preparation and, hence, a more sustainable nanocomposite can be produced.

A new polymerized monomeric reactant (PMR)-type polyimide, designated TriA X, was investigated to determine polymer structure, processability, thermal, and mechanical properties and establish the relationship between the molecular structure and those properties. TriA X is a PMR-type polyimide with an asymmetric, irregular, and nonplanar backbone. Both the imide oligomers and the cross-linked polyimides of TriA X exhibited loose-packed amorphous structures, independent of thermal processing. The peculiar structures were attributed to the asymmetric backbone, which effectively prevented the formation of closed-packed chain stacking typically observed in polyimides. The imide oligomers exhibited a lower melt viscosity than a control imide oligomer (symmetric and semi-crystalline), indicating a higher chain mobility above the glass transition temperature ( Tg). The cured polyimide exhibited a Tg = 362°C and a decomposition temperature = 550°C. The cross-linked TriA X exhibited exceptional toughness and ductility (e.g. 15.1% at 23°C) for a polyimide, which was attributed to the high-molecular-weight oligomer and loose-packed amorphous structure. The thermal and mechanical properties of TriA X surpass those of PMR-15 and AFR-PE-4.

In the present study, silver (Ag) nanoparticles and maleic anhydride-grafted polyolefin elastomer (MAH-g-POE) were used as enhancement additives to improve the performance of the polyoxymethylene (POM) homopolymer. Specifically, the POM/Ag/MAH-g-POE ternary nanocomposites with varying Ag nanoparticles and MAH-g-POE contents were prepared by a melt mixing method. The effects of the additives on the microstructure, thermal stability, crystallization behavior, mechanical properties, and dynamic mechanical thermal properties of the ternary nanocomposites were studied. It was found that the MAH-g-POE played a role in the bridging of the Ag nanoparticles and POM matrix and improved the interfacial adhesion between the Ag nanoparticles and POM matrix, owing to the good compatibility between Ag/MAH-g-POE and the POM matrix. Moreover, it was found that the combined addition of Ag nanoparticles and MAH-g-POE significantly enhanced the thermal stability, crystallization properties, and mechanical properties of the POM/Ag/MAH-g-POE ternary nanocomposites. When the Ag/MAH-g-POE content was 1 wt.%, the tensile strength reached the maximum value of 54.78 MPa. In addition, when the Ag/MAH-g-POE content increased to 15wt.%, the elongation at break reached the maximum value of 64.02%. However, when the Ag/MAH-g-POE content further increased to 20 wt.%, the elongation at break decreased again, which could be attributed to the aggregation of excessive Ag nanoparticles forming local defects in the POM/Ag/MAH-g-POE ternary nanocomposites. Furthermore, when the Ag/MAH-g-POE content was 20 wt.%, the maximum decomposition temperature of POM/Ag/MAH-g-POE ternary nanocomposites was 398.22 °C, which was 71.39 °C higher than that of pure POM. However, compared with POM, the storage modulus of POM/Ag/MAH-g-POE ternary nanocomposites decreased with the Ag/MAH-g-POE content, because the MAH-g-POE elastomer could reduce the rigidity of POM.

The effect of perfluoroalkane (PFA) on the morphology, thermal conductivity, mechanical properties and thermal stability of rigid polyurethane (PU) foams was investigated under ambient and cryogenic conditions. The PU foams were blown with hydrofluorolefin. Morphological results showed that the minimum cell size (153 μm) was observed when the PFA content was 1.0 part per hundred polyols by weight (php). This was due to the lower surface tension of the mixed polyol solution when the PFA content was 1.0 php. The thermal conductivity of PU foams measured under ambient (0.0215 W/mK) and cryogenic (0.0179 W/mK at −100°C) conditions reached a minimum when the PFA content was 1.0 php. The low value of thermal conductivity was a result of the small cell size of the foams. The above results suggest that PFA acted as a nucleating agent to enhanced the thermal insulation properties of PU foams. The compressive and shear strengths of the PU foams did not appreciably change with PFA content at either −170°C or 20°C. However, it shows that the mechanical strengths at −170°C and 20°C for the PU foams meet the specification. Coefficient of thermal expansion, and thermal shock tests of the PU foams showed enough thermal stability for the LNG carrier’s operation temperature. Therefore, it is suggested that the PU foams blown by HFO with the PFA addition can be used as a thermal insulation material for a conventional LNG carrier.

Dense β–Si3N4 ceramics were fabricated from α–Si3N4 raw powder by gas-pressure sintering at 1900 °C for 12 h under a nitrogen pressure of 1 MPa, using four different kinds of additive compositions: Yb2O3–MgO, Yb2O3–MgSiN2, Y2O3–MgO, and Y2O3–MgSiN2. The effects of additive composition on the microstructure and thermal and mechanical properties of β–Si3N4 ceramics were investigated. It was found that the replacement of Yb2O3 by Y2O3 has no significant effect on the thermal conductivity and fracture toughness, but the replacement of MgO by MgSiN2 leads to an increase in thermal conductivity from 97 to 113 Wm-1K-1and fracture toughness from 8 to 10 MPa m1/2, respectively. The enhanced thermal conductivity of the MgSiN2-doped materials is attributed to the purification of β–Si3N4 grain and increase of Si3N4–Si3N4 contiguity, resulting from the enhanced growth of large elongated grains. The improved fracture toughness of the MgSiN2-doped materials is attributed to the increase of grain size and fraction of large elongated grains. However, the same thermal conductivity between the Yb2O3- and Y2O3-doped materials is related to not only their similar microstructures, but also the similar abilities of removing oxygen impurity in Si3N4 lattice between Yb2O3 and Y2O3. The same fracture toughness between the Yb2O3- and Y2O3-doped materials is consistent with their similar microstructures. This work implies that MgSiN2 is an effective sintering aid for developing not only high thermal conductivity (>110 Wm−1K−1) but also high fracture toughness (>10 MPa m1/2) of Si3N4 ceramics.
