Résumé | The reinforcement effect of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) has been examined as a function of their loading and aspect ratio in poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) based hybird fibers. Lignosulfonic acid sodium salt (LSA) was used to disperse CNTs to produce consistently high CNT loaded PVA-LSA-CNT hybrid fibers using an electrospinning process. The elastic modulus of individual fibers was measured using atomic force microscopy. The presence of CNTs significantly increased the average elastic modulus of PVA-LSA-CNT fibers compared to PVA-LSA fibers. The elastic modulus, however, exhibited no fiber diameter dependency. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) was used to determine the loading and the aspect ratio of CNTs in each hybrid fiber. The CNT loading in PVA-LSA-CNT fibers varied widely due to non-uniform CNT dispersion and displayed no relationship with the elastic modulus. Our results also demonstrated that the average value of CNT aspect ratio significantly affected the elastic modulus of the hybrid fibers. Such a result was in agreement with theoretical prediction in which the stress transfer efficiency in a composite matrix is strongly dependent on the CNT aspect ratio. |
