摘要: 聚乳酸(PLA)因其生物可降解及较高的强度在环保型介电材料制备上具有较大的潜力,但较低的介电常数限制了其在该领域的应用。通过熔融共混法将羧基化多壁碳纳米管(MWCNTs—COOH)、环氧扩链剂(ADR)及聚对苯二甲酸-己二酸丁二醇酯(PBAT)引入PLA中制备MWCNTs—COOH-ADR-PBAT/PLA复合材料。采用FTIR、转矩流变仪、DSC、DMA、电子万能试验机、SEM和LCR介电测量仪等研究MWCNTs—COOH对PBAT/PLA反应性增容体系的分子链间相互作用、加工性能、结晶性能、动态力学性能、力学性能及介电性能的影响。研究结果表明,共混过程中MWCNTs—COOH中羧基优先与反应增容剂反应,降低了反应增容剂对PLA与PBAT相界面的催化增容效率。MWCNTs—COOH在动力学和热力学的驱动下优先分散于两相界面处,赋予材料优异刚韧平衡性的同时,明显提高了材料的介电性能。当MWCNTs—COOH含量为4wt%时,在频率100 Hz下,MWCNTs—COOH-ADR-PBAT/PLA复合材料的介电常数为5.35、介电损耗为0.06,材料具有较好的综合性能。

Abstract: The polylactic acid (PLA) has great potential in the preparation of environmentally friendly dielectric materials due to its biodegradability and high strength, but low dielectric constant limits its wide application in this field. The carboxylic multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs—COOH), epoxy-based chain extender (ADR) and poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT) were introduced into PLA by melt blending to prepare MWCNTs—COOH-ADR-PBAT/PLA composites. The effects of MWCNTs—COOH on the inter-molecular chain interactions, processing, crystallization, dynamic mechanical, mechanical and dielectric properties of the PBAT/PLA reactive compatibilization system were studied by FTIR, Torque rheometer, DSC, DMA, electron universal testing machine, SEM and LCR dielectric measuring instrument, etc. The results show that the carboxyl group in MWCNTs—COOH preferentially reacts with the reactive compatibilizer during the blending process, which reduces the catalytic compatibilization efficiency of the reactive compatibilizer on the interface between PLA and PBAT. At the same time, MWCNTs—COOH preferentially disperse at the two-phase interface under the drive of dynamics and thermodynamics, giving the material a better rigid toughness balance, while significantly improving the dielectric properties of the material. When the MWCNTs—COOH content is 4wt%, the dielectric constant and dielectric loss of MWCNTs—COOH-ADR-PBAT/PLA composite at 100 Hz were 5.35 and 0.06 respectively, and the material had good comprehensive properties. -
