▎ 摘  要

A method to construct glass fiber/graphene material via the electrostatic self-assembly was proposed. The graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets were firstly prepared from graphite according to Hummer's methods. Oppositely charged GO is successfully introduced to the surface of the GF cationized by 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) treatment in the solution with mild agitation. Sequently, glass fibers coated with graphene (GF/CRG) were obtained after chemical reduction. The graphene content was characterized by TGA and XPS tests and the value of about 0.7 wt % was obtained. Composites of poly(lactic acid) and GF/CRG were prepared through melt blending. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) results shows that more than 50% graphene remains on the surface of GF after processing, which indicates a strong binding between GF and graphene. GF/CRG has significant influences on crystallization and mechanical property of PLA: the crystallinity of PLA increases from 27.61 to 51.29%; the tensile strength of the PLA-GF/CRG composite is about 63% larger than the pure PLA at the GF/CRG content of 10 wt %. This new method can apply to making composites with high performance. (c) 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
