▎ 摘 要
A bio-based epoxy monomer (GA-II) was synthesized from renewable gallic acid. The aromatic group contained made it capable of being absorbed onto the surface of graphene via strong p-p interactions, which was proven by Raman spectra and UV spectra. The GA-II anchored graphene was easily homogeneously dispersed in the epoxy resin. After solidification, the graphene/epoxy composites demonstrated superior performances in terms of good mechanical properties, excellent thermal conductivity, as well as high electrical conductivity. With the addition of only 2 wt% GA-II/graphene, the tensile strength, tensile modulus, flexural strength and flexural modulus of the composites were improved by 27%, 47%, 9% and 21%, respectively. The thermal and electrical conductivities were also improved by 12-fold (from 0.15 to 1.8 W m(-1) K-1) and 8 orders (from 7.0 x 10(-15) to 3.28 x 10(-5) s cm(-1)), respectively. This work provided us with an environmentally friendly agent with high efficiency for graphene dispersion and demonstrated an efficient method for fabricating epoxy/graphene composites with superior properties.
