▎ 摘  要

A highly crystalline aliphatic segmented polyurethane (PU) elastomer with 40wt% hard segment (HS) content, based on 1,6-hexamethylene diisocyanate and 1,4-butanediol as the HS, and a block copolymer of hexamethylene carbonate and polycaprolactone as the soft segment (SS), has been used as the matrix to prepare carbon nanofiller/PU composites by solution casting. Composite films with different loadings of solvent-exfoliated graphene (G)/nanographite, graphene oxide (GO) obtained by the so-called modified Hummers method, and acid-treated multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) were obtained and characterised. Tensile test results show that the effectiveness of increasing PU strength follows the trend MWCNT>GO>G. The ductility reduction in all the cases is related to the large sizes of nanofillers in relation to PU hard domains and the hindrance to allow plastic flow of PU SSs by larger fillers.
