Abstract

In this study, poly(methyl methacrylate)/p-phenylenediamine-graphene oxide, poly(methyl methacrylate)/graphene, and poly(methyl methacrylate)/graphene oxide nanocomposite series were prepared using simple solution blending technique. In poly(methyl methacrylate)/p-phenylenediamine-graphene oxide series, graphene oxide modified with p-phenylenediamine was used to improve its dispersion and interfacial strength with matrix. Morphology study of poly(methyl methacrylate)/p-phenylenediamine-graphene oxide nanocomposite revealed better dispersion of p-phenylenediamine-graphene oxide flakes and gyroid patterning of poly(methyl methacrylate) over the filler surface. Due to nonconducting nature of graphene oxide, there was no significant variation in the thermal or electrical conductivity of these nanocomposites. Thermal conductivity of poly(methyl methacrylate)/p-phenylenediamine-graphene oxide 1.5 was 1.16 W/mK, while the electrical conductivity was found to be 2.3 × 10−3 S/cm.
