Creep of thermoplastic polyurethane reinforced with ozone functionalized carbon nanotubes

Abstract: Abstract. This work focused on the mechanical behavior, especially creep resistance, of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) filled with ozone-treated multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). It was found that the ozone functionalization of MWCNTs could improve their dispersion and interfacial adhesion to the TPU matrix as proved by scanning electron microscope and Raman spectrometer. It finally contributed to the enhancement of Young's modulus and yield strength of TPU/MWCNT composites. Moreover, the creep resista… Show more

“…Most significant enhancement is shown by the composite made with DMF displaying 28% and 43% improvement by comparison with neat TPU at 100 and 120 °C, respectively. Good interfacial interactions between CNS and TPU enable reinforcement since the stress applied can be efficiently transferred to the segregated filler network …”

“…Maximum peak temperature of loss modulus curve represents T g of soft segment which, due to interaction between CNTs and polymer matrix and restriction of chain mobility, increases on increasing the CNT content to 0.5 wt%. The nanocomposite with higher content of CNTs, due to presence of agglomerations, shows significant decrease in T g …”
