Electrospinning is an important method for preparing nanofibers, which are highly promising for applications in a wide range of fields such as purification/filtration, photoelectric devices, battery separators, catalysis and tissue engineering. These applications often use composite materials and have specific requirements for mechanical properties. Therefore, how to get nanofibers films with ideal mechanical properties by changing the composite mode is an important process problem for the given two or more materials. Based on the far-field electrospinning, this study selected polyacrylonitrile (PAN) and thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) to explore the differences of three composite methods: mixed spinning, multi-nozzle simultaneous spinning and superposition spinning. Three kinds of analysis can be seen in this study, which include morphology features, thickness measurement and mechanical properties of samples. Multi-nozzle simultaneous spinning has very limited changes. Mixed spinning and superposition spinning are beneficial to the improvement of nanofibers films morphology and mechanical properties. Among them, the composite films through superposition spinning are thinner.

This paper deals with the design, preparation, and characterization of conductive and flexible nanopapers based on graphite nanoplates (GNP) and polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS). Highly porous GNP nanopapers were first prepared by filtration from a GNP suspension in a solvent. Subsequently, PDMS impregnation was carried out to obtain a composite material. By varying the concentration of the polymer solution and the deposition time, PDMS/GNP nanopapers were produced with a wide range of PDMS contents, porosities, and densities. Thermal diffusivity of the composite films (both in-plane and cross-plane) were measured and correlated with the structure of the nanopapers. Selected formulations were investigated in detail for their physical, thermal, and mechanical properties, exhibiting high flexibility and resistance to more than 50 repeated bendings, stiffness of up to 1.3 MPa, and thermal conductivity of up to 25 W/m∙K. Based on the properties obtained, the materials presented in this paper may find applications in modern lightweight and flexible electronic devices.

AbstractA series of long glass fiber (LGF)-reinforced epoxy resin (ER), thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) elastomers, and poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) composites were prepared by using self-designed impregnation device. Dynamic mechanical properties of the LGF/ER/TPU/PMMA composites have been investigated by using dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMA). The results indicated that the content of PMMA and TPU and scanning frequency had important influence on dynamic mechanical properties and glass transition of the LGF/ER/TPU/PMMA composites. In addition, the Arrhenius relationship has been used to calculate the activation energy of α-transition of the LGF/ER/TPU/PMMA composites. The thermal properties of the LGF/ER/TPU/PMMA composites were studied by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Morphology and mechanical properties of the composites are investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), a universal testing machine, and a ZBC-4 Impact Pendulum.
