Abstract:In this article, reduced graphene oxide/polyimide resin composites which exhibited enhancements in mechanical properties were successfully fabricated by hot-pressing, and reduced graphene oxide nanosheets were synthesized by thermal reduced method, which can readily mix with PI powders in aqueous solution by sonication process. The chemical structures of rGO were carefully characterized by X-ray diffraction, Fourier transfer infrared spectroscopy and X-ray photo-electron spectroscopy. The field emission scanning electron microscopy observations showed that the rGO displayed excellent dispersibility and compatibility with the PI matrix. The mechanical analysis indicated that the tensile and flexural strength values of the rGO/PI resin composite with 1.5 wt% rGO loading reached 80.7 and 133.3 MPa, respectively. Compared with pure PI, the optimized rGO/PI resin composite exhibited an enhancement of 30% in tensile strength, 19% in flexural strength and 27% in impact strength, due to the fine dispersion of high specific surface area of graphene nanosheets and the good adhesion between the rGO and the matrix. In addition, thermogravimetric analysis, dynamic mechanical analysis, and dielectric properties were also investigated. (C) 2015 Society of Plastics Engineers
