Preparation of poly (vinyl alcohol) fibers strengthened using multiwalled carbon nanotubes functionalized with tea polyphenols
Source abstract
Abstract
Poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA) fibers were strengthened using multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) functionalized using a green modifier tea polyphenols (TP). MWCNTs were first modified using TP to increase their dispersity in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO)/water solution, and then PVA was added to the dispersion to form new dispersion of PVA/MWCNTs/TP/DMSO/water. The homogeneous dispersion was extruded through a spinning hole into cold methanol to form continuous fibers using gel-spinning process followed by a hot-drawing. The tensile strength of the well-oriented PVA/MWCNTs composite fibers containing merely 0.6 wt% of MWCNTs was surprisingly more than 2.6 times that of pure PVA fiber. Structure characterization showed that well-dispersed MWCNTs were caused by the interfacial interactions between PVA matrix and MWCNTs through the bridge effect of TP.
