Preparation and properties of silanized vapor‐grown carbon nanofibers/epoxy shape memory nanocomposites

Abstract
Silanized vapor‐grown carbon nanofiber/epoxy (silanized‐VGCNF/EP) shape memory polymer (SMP) nanocomposites are successfully fabricated by using a composite molding technology. The surface functionalization of VGCNF is performed using an acid treatment followed by a reaction with silane. The oxidation as well as silanization of VGCNF and silanized‐VGCNF/EP nanocomposites are systematically and explicitly characterized using various analytical methods. The influence of the silane‐functionalized VGCNF on the properties of VGCNF/EP nanocomposites is investigated using field emission scanning electronic microscopy (FE‐SEM) and a dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA). The shape memory properties of the silanized‐VGCNF/EP nanocomposites are evaluated by a fold‐deploy shape memory test. The results reveal that the silanized‐VGCNF is preferably dispersed in the epoxy resin matrix. Furthermore, the glass transition temperature of silanized‐VGCNF/EP nanocomposites is enhanced, and the shape memory properties of the silanized‐VGCNF/EP nanocomposites are significantly improved.
