A bio-based epoxy monomer (GA-II) was synthesized from renewable gallic acid. The aromatic group contained made it capable of being absorbed onto the surface of graphene via strong π–π interactions, which was proven by Raman spectra and UV spectra. The GA-II anchored graphene was easily homogeneously dispersed in the epoxy resin. After solidification, the graphene/epoxy composites demonstrated superior performances in terms of good mechanical properties, excellent thermal conductivity, as well as high electrical conductivity. With the addition of only 2 wt% GA-II/graphene, the tensile strength, tensile modulus, flexural strength and flexural modulus of the composites were improved by 27%, 47%, 9% and 21%, respectively. The thermal and electrical conductivities were also improved by 12-fold (from 0.15 to 1.8 W m−1 K−1) and 8 orders (from 7.0 × 10−15 to 3.28 × 10−5 s cm−1), respectively. This work provided us with an environmentally friendly agent with high efficiency for graphene dispersion and demonstrated an efficient method for fabricating epoxy/graphene composites with superior properties.
由可再生没食子酸合成了生物基环氧单体(GA-II)。所含的芳香族基团使其能够通过强π-π相互作用被吸收到石墨烯表面,拉曼光谱和紫外光谱证明了这一点。 GA-II锚定石墨烯很容易均匀分散在环氧树脂中。固化后,石墨烯/环氧树脂复合材料表现出良好的机械性能、优异的导热性以及高导电性等优异性能。仅添加2 wt%的GA-II/石墨烯,复合材料的拉伸强度、拉伸模量、弯曲强度和弯曲模量分别提高了27%、47%、9%和21%。热导率和电导率也分别提高了 12 倍(从 0.15 到 1.8 W m−1 K−1)和 8 个数量级(从 7.0 × 10−15 到 3.28 × 10−5 s cm−1)。这项工作为我们提供了一种高效的环保石墨烯分散剂,并展示了一种制备具有优异性能的环氧/石墨烯复合材料的有效方法。
