Abstract
In this study, poly(3-acrylaminophenylboronic acid) modified graphene oxide (GO-PAAPBA) has been prepared by polymerization of 3-acrylaminophenylboronic acid (AAPBA) on the surface of GO. The –O· free radical was formed by γ-ray radiation, which initiated the polymerization of AAPBA. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy were employed to characterize the structure of GO-PAAPBA. The grafting density of poly(3-acrylaminophenylboronic acid) is increased with increasing of the absorbed dose. The GO-PAAPBA was added into vinyl-terminated polydimethylsiloxane (Vi-PDMS) to prepare room temperature cured silicon rubber composites (SR/GO-PAAPBA). The GO-PAAPBA exhibits better dispersion performance than pure GO, which is contribute to improve thermal conductivity and mechanical properties. Significantly, with grafting density of PAAPBA increasing, the comprehensive performances of SR/GO-PAAPBA are more remarkable. SR/GO-PAAPBA-1.88 with outstanding thermal and mechanical abilities exhibits beat neutron shielding property. The neutron transmission of SR/GO-PAAPBA-1.88 is 10% lower than that of SR. The SR nanocomposite with efficient thermal conductivity and neutron shielding ability has a promising prospect to be applied as advanced flexible shielding material.
