摘要
The mechanical properties of carbon nanofibers (CNFs) are always restricted by their disorganized crystal structures. Herein, this paper utilizes two typical hexagonal crystalline flake materials, nanoscale flake graphite (NG) and hexagonal nitride boron (BN), as nanofillers to optimize the crystal domains of CNFs and achieves enhancement in fiber strength, modulus and toughness. For this purpose, in situ polymerization technique is developed for the rapid and uniform mixing of nanofillers with polyacrylonitrile (PAN) precursors of CNFs. The nanofillers are exfoliated in this process and wrapped with PAN to prevent potential agglomeration. The obtained core-shell nanocomposites can be produced into composite CNFs via electrospinning, stabilization and carbonization. Based on the attraction effect, the dispersed nanofillers can organize PAN molecular chains into oriented crystalline fibrils in as-spun nanofibers and accelerate their transformation to more ladder structures in stabilized nanofibers. On this basis, NG is shown to act as the templating and nucleating agent to promote the formation, growth and compact stacking of graphitic planes in CNFs. BN also improves fiber crystallinity, while its limited templating effect leads to looser and finer crystal domains. As a result, NG-doped CNFs have significantly improved strength and modulus, and BN-doped CNFs possess simultaneously enhanced strength and toughness.
