Nematic liquid crystal 4-cyano-4′-pentylbiphenyl functionalization of MWNTs for improved thermal and mechanical properties of silicone pressure sensitive adhesives
International Journal of Adhesion and Adhesives(2020)
摘要
In this research, nanocomposite modified pressure sensitive adhesives (PSA) (5CB-MWNTs/PSA) with high mechanical and thermal properties were fabricated via nematic liquid crystal 4-cyano-4′-pentylbiphenyl (5CB) functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs). The results showed that 5CB interacted with MWNTs via non-covalent interactions e.g. π-π stacking, which not only improved the dispersion and orientation of MWNTs in a silicone PSA but also the compatibility between MWNTs and the silicone material. The tensile strength of 5CB-MWNT/PSA was increased to 14.5 MPa while the mass fraction of MWNTs was 1.0%, which was an enhancement of 943% over that of the MWNTs/PSA and 28 times greater than that of the neat PSA. In addition the thermal conductivity of the PSAs filled with the 5CB-MWNTs were improved to 1.28 W/(m•K) at a mass fraction of 10%, which was increased by 552% over that of the neat PSA and 231% over that of the MWNT/PSA. The resulting thermally conductive and mechanically applicable silicone PSA nanocomposites could be significant in a wide variety of pressure sensitive adhesive applications.
