Butadiene-functionalized graphitic nanoplatelets (BDGnPs) are used as reinforcing additive for poly(styrene-co-butadiene) (PSB). The BDGnPs are synthesized through a mechanochemical reaction between solid graphite and butadiene gas. Since the resultant BDGnPs have good dispersibility in organic solvents, the BDGnP/PSB nanocomposites are prepared easily via a solution mixing method. Thus, the BDGnPs play as a reinforcing additive for PSB due to its outstanding properties and an interaction between BDGnPs and PSB through butadiene-functional groups. To compare with the pure PSB, the mechanical properties (e.g., tensile strength and Young’s modulus) and thermal stability of BDGnP/PSB nanocomposites are increased significantly. Therefore, the BDGnPs act as a reinforcement additive for PSB. |
