摘要
The ring-opening polymerization of cyclic butylene terephthalate into poly(butylene terephthalate) (pCBT) in the presence of reduced graphene oxide (RGO) is an effective method for the preparation of polymer nano composites. The inclusion of RGO nanoflakes dramatically affects the crystallization of pCBT, shifting crystallization peak temperature to higher temperatures and, overall, increasing the crystallization rate. This was due to a supernucleating effect caused by RGO, which is maximized by highly reduced graphene oxide. Furthermore, combined analyses by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) experiments and wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXS) showed the formation of a thick alpha-crystalline form pCBT lamellae with a melting point of similar to 250 degrees C, close to the equilibrium melting temperature of pCBT. WAXS also demonstrated the pair orientation of pCBT crystals with RGO nanoflakes, indicating a strong interfacial interaction between the aromatic rings of pCBT and RGO planes, especially with highly reduced graphene oxide.
