文摘

In this study it has been aimed to enhance the thermal resistance of epoxy coating through incorporation of SiO2-GO nanohybrids. SiO2-GO nanohybrids were synthesized through one-step sol-gel route using a mixture of Tetraethylorthosilane (TEOS) and 3-Aminopropyl triethoxysilane (APTES) silanes. The SiO2-GO nanohybrids were prepared at various hydrolysis times of 24, 48 and 72 h. Then 0.2 wt.% of GO and SiO2-GO nanohybrids were separately incorporated into the epoxy coating. Results revealed that amino functionalized SiO2 nanoparticles with particle size around 20–30 nm successfully synthesized on the basal plane of GO. Results showed significant improvement of dispersion and interfacial interactions between nanohybrids and epoxy composite arising from covalent bonding between the SiO2-GO and the epoxy matrix. It was found that the thermal resistance of SiO2-GO nanohybrids and SiO2-GO/Epoxy nanocomposite was noticeably higher than GO and epoxy matrix, respectively.
