摘要

Abstract

How to control the spatial distribution of nanoparticles to meet different performance requirements is a constant challenge in the field of polymer nanocomposites. Current studies have been focused on the flexible polymer chain systems. In this study

the rigid polyimide (PI) chain grafted silica particles with different grafting chain lengths and grafting densities were prepared by " grafting to” method

and the influence of polymerization degree of grafted chains (

)

matrix chains (

)

and grafting density (

) on the spatial distribution of nanoparticles in the PI matrix was explored. The glass transition temperature (

) of PI composites was systematically investigated as well. The results show that silica particles are well dispersed in polyamic acid composite systems

while aggregation and small clusters appear in PI nanocomposites after thermal imidization. Besides

the particle size has no impact on the spatial distribution of nanoparticles. When

$${ {\textit{σ}} \cdot {N^{0.5}} \ll {\left( {N/P} \right)^2}}$$

http://html.publish.founderss.cn/rc-pub/api/common/picture?pictureId=32496580&type=

the grafted and matrix chains interpenetrate

and the frictional resistance of the segment increases

resulting in restricted relaxation kinetics and

increase of the PI composite system. In addition

smaller particle size and longer grafted chains are beneficial to improving

of composites. These results are all propitious to complete the microstructure control theory of nanocomposites and make a theoretical foundation for the high performance and multi-function of PI nanocomposites.
