▎ 摘  要

In this article, polyurethane (PU)/epoxy (EP) interpenetrating polymer networks (IPNs) filled graphene aerogel (PEGA) was facilely fabricated by a one-step vacuum-assisted filling process. Effects of PU content on damping performance, thermal stability and mechanical properties of the PEGA composites were studied systematically. Results reveal that addition of graphene aerogel improves damping properties of PU/EP IPNs and increases the thermal decomposition temperature. Mechanical tests show that flexural strength, flexural modulus and Shore D hardness of the PEGA composites also improved by incorporation of graphene aerogel. The enhanced damping, thermal and mechanical properties of PEGA composites can be attributed to the uniform distribution of graphene sheets in the IPN matrix, which benefits from the three-dimensional interconnected porous network structure of the graphene aerogel used and good interfacial adhesion at the nanofiller-matrix interface. It is expected that the PEGA composites can be used as good structural damping materials in future.
