▎ 摘  要

Conductive composites based on thermosetting resins have broad applications in various fields. In this paper, a new self-compositing strategy is developed for improving the conductivity of graphene nanoplatelet/thermosetting resin composites by optimizing the transport channels. To implement this strategy, conventional graphene nanoplatelet/thermosetting resin is crushed into micron-sized composite powders, which are mixed with graphene nanoplatelets to form novel complex fillers to prepare the self-composited materials with thermosetting resins. A highly conductive compact graphene layer is formed on the surface of the crushed composite powders, while the addition of the micron-sized powder induces the orientation of graphene nanoplatelets in the resin matrix. Therefore, a highly conductive network is constructed inside the self-composited material, significantly enhancing the electrical conductivity. The composite materials based on epoxy resin, cyanate resin, and unsaturated polyester are prepared with this method, reflecting that the method is universal for preparing composites based on thermosetting resins. The highest electrical conductivity of the self-composited material based on unsaturated polyester is as high as 25.9 S m(-1). This self-compositing strategy is simple, efficient, and compatible with large-scale industrial production, thus it is a promising and general way to enhance the conductivity of thermosetting resin matrix composites.
