摘要
Silane coupling agents are widely used to improve the compatibility between nanoparticles and polymers. In this paper, the effects of nano-SiO2 modified by KH550, KH560 and KH792 silane coupling agents on the properties of polypropylene composites are studied by molecular dynamics simulation. The effects of coupling agent on the thermal, mechanical and electrical properties of polypropylene nanocomposites are discussed by analyzing the cohesive energy density, binding energy, free volume, and rotation radius. The results show that the thermal, mechanical and electrical properties of polypropylene nanocomposites are improved after the addition of silane coupling agent modified nano-SiO2. The silane coupling agent not only improves the compatibility between the nanoparticles and the polypropylene matrix, increases the cohesive energy density and the interfacial bonding force, but also affects the motion state of the molecular chain by changing the free volume, thereby changing the glass transition temperature, thermal conductivity, rigidity, toughness, relative dielectric constant and breakdown strength of the polypropylene nanocomposites. In addition, the alkyl coupling agent can also change the electrostatic potential distribution and band gap of nano-SiO2, and further improves the electrical properties. © 2025 Science Press.
