Abstract

An effective procedure has been developed to synthesize the functionalized graphene oxide grafted by maleic anhydride grafted liquid polybutadiene (MLPB-GO). Fourier transform spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy indicate the successful functionalization of GO. The NR/MLPB-GO composites were then prepared by the co-coagulation process. The results show that the mechanical properties of NR/MLPB-GO composites are obviously superior to those of NR/GO composites and neat NR. Compared with neat NR, the tensile strength, modulus at 300% strain and tear strength of NR composite containing 2.12 phr MLPB-GO are significantly increased by 40.5%, 109.1% and 85.0%, respectively. Dynamic mechanical analysis results show that 84% increase in storage modulus and 2.9 K enhancement in the glass transition temperature of the composite have been achieved with the incorporation of 2.12 phr MLPB-GO into NR. The good dispersion of GO and the strong interface interaction in the composites are responsible for the unprecedented reinforcing efficiency of MLPB-GO towards NR.
