Abstract:
This study prepared 4,4-diaminodiphenylmethane (DDM)-functionalized graphene oxide (GO)@silica dioxide (SiO2) nano-composites through amidation reaction and low-temperature precipitation. The resulting modified GO, that was DDM-GO@SiO2. The study found that DDM-GO@SiO2 showed good dispersion and compatibility with thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) substrates. Compared with pure TPU, the tensile strength of the TPU composites increased by 41% to 94.6 MPa at only 0.5 wt% DDM-GO@SiO2. In addition, even when a small amount of DDM-GO@SiO2 was added, the UV absorption of TPU composites increased significantly, TPU composites can achieve a UV shielding efficiency of 95.21% in the UV-A region. These results show that this type of material holds great promise for the preparation of functional coatings and film materials with high strength and weather resistance.
