Nacre-like nanocomposite film with excellent dielectric insulation properties and mechanical strength based on montmorillonite nanosheet and aramid nanofiber
Source abstract
Abstract
Unlike the mechanisms behind their enhanced mechanical properties, application of artificial nacre-like materials has attracted very little attention from scholars. In this study, we designed a unique artificial nacre-like material that integrated outstanding mechanical properties and dielectric insulation properties by assembling MTM nanosheet and aramid nanofiber (ANF) through vacuum-assisted filtration. Compared with other nanocomposite films, the layered ANF/MTM nanocomposite film displayed superior mechanical properties (the tensile strength of ~ 126.5 MPa and elongation at break of ~ 2.56%) and dielectric insulation performance (77.2 kV/mm). In addition, it exhibited good transparency and flexibility. Therefore, this nanocomposite film has great potential for application in flexible electronics and high-voltage electrical insulation.
