▎ 摘  要

Graphene has excellent mechanical and thermal properties, while alumina has inexpensive and strong thermal stability, making it ideal for electronic packaging applications. The current work examines the effects of modest loadings of reduced graphene oxide (rGO), alumina (Ala), and their hybrids on the dynamic mechanical characteristics and thermal transitions of epoxy-based nanocomposites. The rGO was made using a modified Hummers' method. Alumina nanoparticles were used as received. Various epoxy nanocomposite samples with 1 wt% of rGO, 1 wt% of Ala, and 0.5 wt% each of rGO and Ala were created. Then, Raman spectroscopy, XRD, FTIR, XPS, TEM, AFM, and SEM were used to analyze the fillers and their hybrid and epoxy-based nanocomposites. Dynamic mechanical analysis was used to examine the hybrid epoxy-based nanocomposites' dynamic mechanical behavior. It has been demonstrated that different epoxy nanocomposites with 1 wt% Ala and 1 wt% rGO have higher elastic moduli than those with 0.5 wt% rGO and 0.5 wt% Ala. The rGO-Ala hybrid nanocomposites, on the other hand, exhibit moderate damping and glass transition temperatures. The reason for that may be because Ala filler increases the contact area between the rGO sheets and serves as a bridge between the two fillers, decreasing the resistance to deformation. This may enhance the possibility that these stress concentrations will weaken the composites.
