Carbon-Fabric Reinforced PP/Graphene Nano-Sheets Nanocomposites: Preparation and Performance Evaluation

Article Preview

Abstract:

This study uses graphene nanosheets (GNs) as filling materialand PP as base materialto preparePP/GNsnanocomposites using melt compounding. In order to compensate tensile property of PP/GNs nanocomposites,carbon-fiber woven fabrics (CFW) were stacked with the PP/GNsnanocompositesusing compression molding forming PP/GNs/CFWnanocomposites. DSC, Tensile, SEMand EMI shielding effectiveness (SE) of nanocomposites are evaluated afterwards.Result displays that, after addition of carbon fabric intoPP/GNsnanocomposites, tensile strength were reinforced significantly, and EMI shielding frequency became wider.The resulting nanocomposites successfully applied in high temperature at around 160°C.
