纳米ZnO/PEG/PET复合材料的原位聚合制备及其性能

通过原位聚合制备了纳米氧化锌颗粒增强不同添加量和分子量的聚乙二醇（PEG）与聚对苯二甲酸乙二醇酯（PET）共聚物的复合材料。研究了纳米粒子在基体里的分散，以及纳米粒子和PEG对复合材料结晶行为的影响。结果显示，纳米粒子在基体中以纳米尺度分散起晶核作用。PEG的加入使得纳米粒子分散更加均匀，PEG分子链段改善了PET分子链的柔性，由此导致复合材料的冷结晶温度降低，结晶速率提高。研究发现，当添加10％分子量为4000的PEG时，复合材料的结晶速率快速提高。复合材料的力学性能结果说明，纳米粒子对PET基体有增强增韧作用，但PEG会弱化该作用。

IN-SITU POLYMERIZED SYNTHESIS AND PROPERTIES OF NANO-ZnO/PEG/PET COMPOSITE

Nano-ZnO particle (nZnOp) reinforced polyethylene glycol (PEG)/polyethylene terephthalate (PET) (nZnOp/PEG/PET) copolymeric composites with different mass fractions and molecular weights of PEG are synthesized via in-situ polymerization. The dispersion of nZnOp in copolymer matrixes and the effects of PEG and nZnOp particles on the crystallization behavior of the composites are studied by TEM, differential scanning calorimetry(DSC), XRD and Fourier thansform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR). The results reveal that nZnOp particles are dispersed in the matrixes with nano-scale, and the addition of PEG induces more homogeneous dispersion of nZnOp. Simultaneously, these nanoparticles become nucleating centers during the crystallization of the matrixes. PEG segments can improve the flexibility of the PET molecular chain, resulting in the drop of the cold crystallization temperature and the rise of the crystallization rate of the composites. Furthermore, PEG(4 000) with the mass fraction of 10% can promote the crystallization rate of the composites. The mechanical properties show that the nano-particles strengthen and toughen the PET matrix, whereas PEG weakens these improvements.
