▎ 摘  要

Hybrid polymer nanocomposites with poly(vinylidene fluoride) are prepared based on graphene and spinel nickel ferrites (nFE) nanoparticles to investigate their structure-properties relationships. X-ray diffraction and differential scanning calorimetry confirmed the co-existence of alpha- and beta-crystal phases of PVDF by the incorporation of graphene and nFE whereas solely alpha- crystal phase formed in neat PVDF. The influence of graphene and nFE on the mechanical properties of PVDF is concentration dependant. The modulus of PVDF is enhanced similar to 128% from 587 to 1340 MPa at the expense of reduction in failure strain from 18% to 6% in PVDF/graphene nanocomposite whereas in PVDF/graphene/nFE hybrid nanocomposites, the mechanical properties are reduced owing to the embrittlement. On the contrary, graphene-nFE-polymer interfacial space charge accumulation has caused the enhancement of dielectric and EMI shielding characteristics as a function of frequency (1kHz-5 MHz). In PVDF/graphene nanocomposites at 3 wt%, the dielectric constant (epsilon') value is increased 16-fold while keeping the dielectric loss (epsilon '') values equivalent to neat PVDF. Whereas, both epsilon' and epsilon '' are increased enormously in PVDF/graphene/nFE hybrid nanocomposites along the whole frequency range. Similarly, EMI shielding (SET) of PVDF/graphene and PVDF/graphene/nFE is similar to 16 and 22 dB, respectively for a film thickness of similar to 0.2 mm. Comparatively, PVDF/graphene nanocomposites exhibited the synergistic balance in mechanical, dielectric and EMI shielding properties over PVDF/graphene/nFE hybrid nanocomposites.
