同步采用无皂乳液聚合法和溶胶-凝胶法制备了聚丙烯酸酯/纳米SiO2复合材料,通过TEM、力学性能、DSC、TG和XRD等检测手段研究了不同有机硅烷偶联剂对聚丙烯酸酯/纳米SiO2复合材料性能的影响。结果表明,分别采用3-甲基丙烯酸氧丙基三甲氧基硅烷(MEMO)和乙烯基三甲氧基硅烷(VT—MO)制备的纳米复合材料,力学性能随其用量的增加而同步增强增韧;TEM结果表明,采用MEMO和VTM0制备的聚丙烯酸酯/纳米SiO2复合材料中的纳米SiO2的粒径约20nm,且分布均匀;热性能结果表明,采用乙烯基三乙氧基硅烷(VTEO)制备的纳米复合材料的玻璃化温度(-8.1℃)和热裂解温度(350℃)最高;XRD结果表明,有机硅烷偶联剂的加入降低了纳米复合材料的结晶度。
Polyacrylate/nano-SiO2 composite materials were prepared via sol-gel process and emulsifier-free emulsion polymerization. The properties of polyacrylate/nano-SiO2 composite with different silane coupling agents were studied by Transmission Electron microscopy (TEM),mechanical properties test,differential scanning calorimeters (DSC),thermal gravity analysis(TG) and X-Ray diffraction(XRD). TEM represented that nano-SiO2 of 20nm dispersed evenly in polyacrylate/nano-SiO2 latex particles with the presence of MEMO and VTMO. The tensile strength and elongation at break of nanocomposites with the incorporation of 3-methacryloxypropyltrime- thoxysilane (MEMO) and vinyltrimethoxysilicane (VTMO) increase with the use level of these silane coupling agents. Thermal properties showed that the glass transition temperature(-8.1℃) and thermal decomposition temperature(350℃) of polyacrylate/nano-SiO2 composite with vinyltriethoxysilane (VTEO) are highest. XRD demonstrated that the addition of silane coupling agent decreased the crystal degree of nanocomposite.
