Preparation and Characterization of High Performance LLDPE/Graphene Nanocomposites

Abstract:

The nanocomposites containing linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) and dodecyl amine (DA) modified graphene (DA-G) as nanofiller have been prepared by solution-mixing method and characterized. Transmission electron microscopy analysis of the nanocomposites exhibits homogeneous dispersion of graphene in the LLDPE matrix. Thermal stability of the nanocomposites with 1 wt.% DA-G are superior as compared to neat LLDPE. Gas barrier properties of the nanocomposites are also much better than that of the neat LLPDE. Co-efficient of thermal expansion values of the nanocomposites decreases with the addition of functionalized graphene. Keywords: Functionalized graphene; UV-Vis spectra; Nanocomposites; Gas barrier property; Mechanical property
