In rubber industry, the most widely used fillers are nano sized carbon black and white carbon black. Carbon black is the most important reinforcing fillers for rubber industry. However, as the petroleum resources are running out, carbon black industry which absolutely relies upon petroleum industry is restricted. In addition, the production and application of carbon black cause environment pollution. The reinforcing property of white carbon black to rubber is close to that of carbon black to rubber. However, rubber filled by white carbon black has weaknesses. Particularly, during production, it's hard to mix white carbon black with rubber. Once carbon black does not evenly disperse in rubber, the rubber exhibits low intensity and poor property. Submicron sized and micron sized non-metallic mineral materials are also used as fillers in rubber industry, and the most widely used materials are ceramics and calcium carbonate, dolomite, aedelforsite, talcum, cryolite, pyrophillite, and barite. These fillers are used for the purpose of reducing cost, and do not contribute to the intensity of rubber. Therefore, it is one objective to develop new reinforcing fillers (low consumed, environmental friendly, and free of petroleum resources) to replace conventional fillers and to provide an efficient, convenient, and economic method in rubber industry.
Graphene is a hexagonal flat film of carbon atoms formed by sp2 hybrid orbitals, and is a two dimensional material at a length of one or several carbon atoms. In 2004, Novoselov and Geim from the University of Manchester prepared self-existent two dimensional graphene crystals for the first time by using a tape to delaminate highly oriented graphite. Since graphene has infinite periodically repeated structures in a flat surface and has a nano sized length in a direction perpendicular to the flat surface, graphene can be regarded as a nano material having a macro size. Graphene has a high specific area in theory (about 2630 m2/g), large aspect ratio (>1000), and excellent mechanical strength (Young's modulus of graphene is 1060 GPa). Therefore, graphene exhibits potential advantages for efficient reinforcement of polymer materials.
Structurally complete graphene has high chemical stability. The surface of structurally complete graphene is inert, and the interactions between structurally complete graphene and other medium (such as a solvent) are weak. Van Der Waals force between different sheets of graphene is strong, and thus, graphene powders are prone to aggregate and are hard to dissolve in water or common organic solvents. This causes great difficulties for preparing graphene/polymer composites. Reducing graphite oxide is the mostly widely used method for preparing graphene. Graphite oxide is an intermediate during the process of reducing graphite oxide to produce graphene. Graphite oxide is completely delaminated and changes into graphene oxide by a process of dispersing graphite oxide in water or organic solvent and further processing graphite oxide by ultrasonic waves. There are many oxygen functional groups on the surface of graphene oxide so that graphene oxide is compatible with water and common organic solvents, Van Der Waals force between different sheets of graphene oxide is weakened, and aggregation degree is reduced. Until now, graphene oxide has been used as a reinforcing filler and has been successfully dispersed into polymers having hard plastic substrate (such as polyvinyl acetate, polymethyl methacrylate, and polycaprolactone). (Xu, Y.; Hong, W; Bai, H.; Li, C.; Shi, G Carbon 2009, 47, 3538-3543. Liang, J.; Huang, Y.; Zhang, L.; Wang, Y.; Ma, Y.; Guo, T.; Chen, Y. Adv, Funct. Mater. 2009, 19, 2297-2302. Jang, J. Y.; Kim, M.

Nanotechnology 2009, 20, 315708/1-315708/6). However, it's a pity that advanced preparation technology which efficiently composites graphene oxide and rubber (simple, easy to industrialize, and obtaining a product having good properties) was not reported as yet. The preparation of excellent rubber products relies upon the solution to dispersion of graphene oxide in rubber and interfacial bonding between graphene oxide and rubber.
In view of the above-described problems, it is one objective of the invention to provide a graphene oxide/rubber nanocomposite which has high delamination degree, high dispersion degree, and strong interfacial boding action. Graphene used in this method is graphene oxide, and does not undergo a reducing process (Reducing Graphene oxide results in the aggregation of graphene and interferes the dispersion of graphene; surface functional groups of reduced graphene greatly reduce, and reduced graphene is not compatible with rubber). In the composite made by this method, graphene oxide is highly delaminated, highly dispersed, and present in nano sizes so that graphene oxide exhibits a reinforcement property. Also, the strong interfacial bonding between graphene oxide and rubber strengthens the rubber. According to testing results, adding graphene oxide to rubber greatly improves the intensity, resistance, and air barrier performance of rubber. Therefore, the composite can be widely used in industrial products including tires, rubber slabs, rubber tapes, and rubber rollers, and in sealing field. In addition, the composite can be widely used as self-repairing material and tear-resistant material because graphene oxide has excellent restorability and crack growth resisting property.
In accordance with one embodiment of the invention, there is provided a method of preparing a graphene oxide/rubber nanocomposite, which has high delamination degree, high dispersion degree, and strong interfacial boding action, by emulsion compounding with flocculation process or by emulsion compounding with spray drying process. The method not only is used for reinforcing rubber and improving air barrier performance of rubber, but also provides basis for preparing highly electricity conducting materials and highly heat conducting materials in the future. The method comprises:
The advantages of this invention lie in that graphene oxide is used as the reinforcing fillers. In water, the oxygen functional groups on the surface of graphene oxide are ionized so that the surface of graphene oxide is negatively charged and graphene oxide forms a stable sol because of an electrostatic force. Particularly, graphene oxide is highly delaminated and is highly dispersed into nano sizes. This is the first structural base of this invention. Adding to the graphene oxide/water sol specific compounds, which form ionic bonding or chemical bonding with the surface functional groups of graphene oxide, as surfactants between molecular chains of graphene oxide and rubber to improve the interfacial bonding between graphene oxide and rubber. This is the second structural base of this invention. Mixing the graphene oxide/water sol or the graphene oxide/water dispersion with the rubber latex and treating by ultrasonic waves or stirring. The emulsion particles and graphene oxide sheets interpenetrate each other while separate from each other so that graphene oxide/rubber dispersion which is highly delaminated and highly dispersed is formed in solution. This is the third structural base of this invention.
The advantage of this invention also lies in that utilizing ion flocculation process or spray drying process to prepare the graphene oxide/rubber nanocomposite. The phase behavior of the graphene oxide/rubber compounding emulsion in liquid form is retained by the graphene oxide/rubber nanocomposite obtained in this invention and, thus, the graphene oxide/rubber nanocomposite, which is highly dispersed, highly delaminated, and present in nano sizes, is obtained. This is the technical mechanism of this invention.
In the graphene oxide/rubber nanocomposite, the graphene oxide fillers is 0.1 phr-20 phr (phr is the weight parts of graphene oxide per every hundred weight parts of rubber), and the surfactant is 0.01 phr-100 phr (phr is the weight parts of the surfactant per every hundred weight parts of rubber). The surfactant in this invention has a solid content of 10-80 wt %, and is one or two compounds selected from the group consisting of carboxylic styrene butadiene latex, butadiene-vinylpyridine copylymer latex, carboxylated styrene-butadiene latex, epoxy latex, carboxylic chloroprene rubber latex, carboxylic acrylonitrile styrene butadien rubber latex, and carboxyl polybutadiene; and silane coupling agent, such as amino-propyl-tri-ethoxy silane coupling agent KH550 and γ-(methacryloxypropyl)-tri-methoxy silane coupling agent KH570, and quaternary ammonium salt. The rubber latex is selected from the group consisting of styrene butadiene latex, natural latex, neoprene latex, butyl latex, NBR latex, butadiene latex, ethylene propylene rubber latex, polyisoprene rubber latex, fluorine rubber latex, silica rubber latex, and polyurethane rubber latex which have a solid content of 10-80 wt %. The flocculant is selected from the group consisting of sulphuric acid, hydrochloric acid, calcium chloride, sodium chloride, potassium chloride, sodium sulphate, aluminium sulphate, ferric trichloride, poly aluminium chloride, and poly ferric chloride which have a percentage of 0.1-10 wt % (not otherwise specified, refers to percentage by weight).
Preferably, the solid content of graphene oxide in the graphene oxide/water sol is 0.01-20 wt %.
Preferably, the flocculate is dried at a temperature of ≦300° C.
Preferably, the drying medium in the spray drier is hot air having a temperature of 60-300° C.
A vulcanizate which is obtained by mixing and vulcanizing the graphene oxide/rubber nanocomposite exhibits high tensile strength, tensile strength at definite elongation, and tearing strength. Also, the air barrier performance of the vulcanizate is significantly improved. For instance, in Example 4 of this application, a vulcanizate is made from the graphene oxide/rubber nanocomposite. When graphene oxide in the graphene oxide/rubber nanocomposite is 4 phr, the composite styrene butadiene rubber has a tensile strength of 14.2 MPa (7.1 times that of pure styrene butadiene rubber), a tensile strength at 100% elongation of 3.7 MPa and a tensile strength at 300% elongation of 11.1 MPa respectively (3.7 times and 5.6 times those of pure styrene butadiene rubber respectively), and an air barrier performance of 2.35×10−17 m2 s−1 Pa−1 ( 3/10 of that of pure styrene butadiene rubber; the smaller the value is, the better the air barrier performance is).
The advantages of this invention lie also in simple process, low cost, no environment pollution, and feasibility of large-scale industrialization.
