Abstract
The main objective of this research is to perform surface modification or functionalization (polymer encapsulation) on graphene nanoplatelet (GNP) using thermoplastic material via solution mixing method. Graphene have been extensively used because of their excellent performance and is a new class of promising filler for functional polymer composites. The influence of the chemical modification on the graphene nanoplatelet dispersion was investigated by visual observation and Transmission Electron Microcopy (TEM) analysis. The effect of surface functionalization variables (formulation & process) to the thermal and compositional properties of modified graphene nanoplatelet with significant miscibility and properties were supported by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and Differential Scanning Calorimetric (DSC). Surface modification of GNP requires sonication in chloroform for 1 hour to achieve the optimum uniform mixture. The encapsulation of polymeric materials with on modified graphene at ratio of 1:4 showed the best non-covalent reaction..Then, the NR/EPDM reinforced functionalized-GNP was prepared to show the high compatibility of functionalized- GNP with NR/EPDM rubber monomer. The results were supported by characterization and morphological analysis using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and it can be concluded that propylene monomer showed the best compatibility with high degree dispersion of graphene in NR/EPDM matrix.
