- Abstract
- This article reports on the dynamic mechanical and thermal properties of thermosetting phenylethynyl-terminated polyimide (PETI-5) composites reinforced with expanded graphite (EG) nanoplatelets having various average particle sizes and content. The EG nanoplatelets with varying particle sizes were prepared by different pulverization techniques through intercalation and exfoliation of natural graphite flakes. The effect of the EG particle size and concentration of the thermal behavior of PETI-5/EG composites was investigated with several thermal analysis methods (DMA, TMA, and DSC). The storage modulus dynamic mechanical properties and glass transition temperature significantly increased with increasing concentration of EG nanoreinforcements regardless of size. The coefficient of thermal expansion significantly decreased, especially in the glass transition region.
