Abstract

Three different types of polycarbonate (PC)/graphene oxide (GO) composites using diphenyl carbonate as a monomer were fabricated by melt polymerization. Those were the PC/GO composite (PC/GO) using a twin extruder, in-situ PC/GO composite (PC/GO-cat.) using a catalyst, and in-situ PC/GO composite (PC/GO-COCl) using a GO-COCl treated by -COCl, Chemical structures of the composites were confirmed by C-H and C=O stretching peak at $3000cm^{-1}$ and $1750cm^{-1}$, respectively. The slope for the storage (G') versus loss (G") modulus plot decreased with an increase in the heterogeneous property of polymer melts. So we can check the GO dispersion of the PC/GO composites using by the slop for G'-G" plot. According to the G'- G" slopes for three different types of PC/GO composites, GO was well dispersed within PC matrix in case of PC/GO and PC/GO-cat.. It was also confirmed by atomic force microscope (AFM) photos. One of the reasons for the poor GO dispersion of PC/GO-COCl is branching and crosslinking processes occurred during polymerization, which was further confirmed by a plot for the complex modulus versus phase difference.

단량체로 디페닐카보네이트를 이용한 세 종류의 폴리카보네이트(PC)/그래핀 옥사이드(GO) 복합체, 즉 이축압출기를 이용한 PC/GO 복합체(PC/GO), 촉매를 이용한 in-situ PC/GO 복합체(PC/GO-cat.), 그리고 -COCl로 표면 처리된 GO-COCl을 이용한 in-situ PC/GO 복합체(PC/GO-COCl)를 용융중합을 통해 제조하였다. PC/GO 복합체의 합성은 $3000cm^{-1}$와 $1750cm^{-1}$ 근처에서 나타나는 C-H 그리고 C=O 신축진동 피크를 통해 확인하였다. DSC와 TGA 분석 결과에 따르면, PC/GO와 PC/GO-cat.과 비교할 때, PC/GO-COCl의 유리전이온도가 상대적으로 낮은 값을 나타내었고, PC/GO 복합체의 열안정성이 가장 우세함을 나타내었다. 저장탄성률(G')-손실탄성률(G") 그래프의 기울기는 고분자 용융체의 비균질성의 증가와 함께 감소하는 경향이 있어, GO 분산성을 확인하는데 사용될 수 있다. G'-G" 기울기 결과로부터 PC/GO와 PC/GO-cat. 복합체의 PC 매트릭스 내 GO 분산성이 양호함을 알 수 있고, 이는 원자력현미경 사진을 통해 재확인하였다. PC/GO-COCl의 경우 분산성이 열세한 이유 중 하나는 중합과정에서 -COCl에 의해 분지구조나 가교구조 등이 발생하여 GO의 분산을 방해하기 때문으로 해석할 수 있고, 이는 복합탄성률과 위상차(${\delta}$) 그래프로부터 확인할 수 있었다.
