▎ 摘  要

Interfacial crystallization of polymer on the surface of filler not only offers crystallography interest but also has a potential to improve the interfacial interaction, which is a key for the preparation of high-performance polymer/filler composites. In this work, a new method is proposed to improve the interfacial crystallization between semi-crystalline polymer and glass fiber (GF) by introducing graphene oxide (GO) to the surface of amorphous GF The coating of GO on GF surface is realized via electrostatic self-assembling of the oppositely charged GO and amino coupling agent modified GF (GF-NH2). After the thermal reduction of the coated GO (RGO), RGO coated GF (GF-RGO) is obtained. The interfacial crystallization of isotactic polypropylene (iPP) and poly(L-lactide) (PLLA) on the surface of raw GF, GF-NH2, and GF-RGO are investigated using Polarized light microscope (PLM). It is found that raw GF and GF-NH2 has almost no nucleation ability on the polymers crystallization. However, transcrystalline structure can be successfully induced at the polymers/GF-RGO interface, indicating a significantly improved nucleation ability of GF-RGO for polymer crystallization. This work could provide a new way to control interfacial crystallization, thus the interfacial adhesion of polymer/filler composites, and could also find a new application for GO as well.
