▎ 摘  要

Many polyols or diols have been used for the synthesis of polyurethanes (PU), however, to the best of our knowledge, PU-graphene oxide (GO) nanocomposites synthesized with ester-based polyols have been rarely studied. In this work ester-based polyol synthesized by the reaction of adipic acid and 1,4 butane diol, was in-situ polymerized with hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI) and GO to prepare PU-GO nanocomposites. The content of GO was changed from 1 to 2.5 wt% and its effect on the mechanical, thermal and electrical properties of the samples were examined. The presence of GO more than 1.5% in the nanocomposites resulted in brittle samples and reduced the tensile strength, however, the Young's modulus of the samples containing 1 and 1.5% was increased to 11 and 12.08-fold (275 and 302 MPa) compared to the neat PU (25 MPa), respectively. The shore A hardness of the samples was increased from 86 for PU to 96 for PUGO-1.5. The abrasion resistance of the samples was decreased by increasing the GO content. Results of the thermogravimetric analysis showed that higher amounts of GO increase the thermal stability of the samples. The chemical and physical interactions between the surface of GO nanolayers and the PU chains were confirmed by FTIR spectroscopy. The dynamic mechanical analysis of the samples showed that GO nanolayers decreased the molecular motions of the PU chains in the nanocomposites which were noticed by shifting the glass transition to the higher temperatures.
