In one embodiment, the nanoparticles can have particle sizes of less than or equal to about ten nanometers. In another embodiment, the nanoparticles have particle sizes of greater than or equal to about ten nanometers. In one embodiment, the nanoparticles can be surface treated to facilitate bonding with the polymeric composition. In another embodiment, the nanoparticles having particle sizes of less than or equal to about ten nanometers are not surface treated. It is generally desirable for the nanoparticles having particle sizes greater than or equal to about ten nanometers to be surface treated. In one embodiment, the surface treatment comprises coating the nanoparticles with a silane- coupling agent. Examples of suitable silane-coupling agents include tetramethylchlorosilane, hexadimethylenedisilazane, gamma-aminopropoxysilane, or the like, or a combination comprising at least one of the foregoing silane coupling agents. The silane-coupling agents generally enhance compatibility of the nanoparticles with the polymeric composition and improve dispersion of the nanoparticles within the polymeric composition.
- In another embodiment, the nanoparticles can be surface treated by coating with a polymer or a monomer such as, for example, surface coating in-situ, spray drying a dispersion of nanoparticle and polymer solution, co-polymerization on the nanoparticle surface, and melt spinning followed by milling. In the case of surface coating in-situ, the nanoparticles are suspended in a solvent, such as, for example demineralized water and the suspension's pH is measured. The pH can be adjusted and stabilized with small addition of acid (e.g., acetic acid or dilute nitric acid) or base (e.g., ammonium hydroxide or dilute sodium hydroxide). The pH adjustment produces a charged state on the surface of the nanoparticle. Once a desired pH has been achieved, a coating material (for example, a polymer or other appropriate precursor) with opposite charge is introduced into the solvent. The coating material is coupled around the nanoparticle to provide a coating layer around the nanoparticle. Once the coating layer has formed, the nanoparticle is removed from the solvent by drying, filtration, centrifugation, or another method appropriate for solid-liquid separation. This technique of coating a nanoparticle with another material using surface charge can be used for a variety of nanocomposite compositions.
- When a solvent is used to apply a coating, as in the in-situ surface coating method described above, the polymeric composition can also be dissolved in the solvent before or during coating, and the final nanocomposite composition formed by removing the solvent.
- As noted above, the nanoparticles have at least one dimension in the nanometer range. It is generally desirable for the nanoparticles to have an average largest dimension that is less than or equal to about 500 nm. The dimension may be a diameter, edge of a face, length, or the like. The nanoparticles may have shapes whose dimensionalities are defined by integers, e.g., the nanoparticles are either 1, 2 or 3-dimensional in shape. They may also have shapes whose dimensionalities are not defined by integers (e.g., they may exist in the form of fractals). The nanoparticles may exist in the form of spheres, flakes, fibers, whiskers, or the like, or a combination comprising at least one of the foregoing forms. These nanoparticles may have cross-sectional geometries that may be circular, ellipsoidal, triangular, rectangular, polygonal, or a combination comprising at least one of the foregoing geometries. The nanoparticles, as commercially available, may exist in the form of aggregates or agglomerates prior to incorporation into the polymeric composition or even after incorporation into the polymeric composition. An aggregate comprises more than one nanoparticle in physical contact with one another, while an agglomerate comprises more than one aggregate in physical contact with one another.
- Regardless of the exact size, shape and composition of the nanoparticles, they may be dispersed into the polymeric composition at loadings of about 0.0001 to about 50 wt % of the total weight of the nanocomposite composition when desired. In one embodiment, the nanoparticles are present in an amount of greater than or equal to about 1 wt % of the total weight of the nanocomposite composition. In another embodiment, the nanoparticles are present in an amount of greater than or equal to about 1.5 wt % of the total weight of the nanocomposite composition.

In another embodiment, the nanoparticles are present in an amount of less than or equal to about 25 wt % of the total weight of the nanocomposite composition.
- The polymeric composition together with the nanoparticles and any other optionally desired fillers may generally be processed in several different ways such as, but not limited to melt blending, solution blending, or the like, or a combination comprising at least one of the foregoing methods of blending. Melt blending of the composition involves the use of shear force, extensional force, compressive force, ultrasonic energy, electromagnetic energy, thermal energy or a combination comprising at least one of the foregoing forces or forms of energy and is conducted in processing equipment wherein the aforementioned forces are exerted by a single screw, multiple screws, intermeshing co-rotating or counter rotating screws, non-intermeshing co-rotating or counter rotating screws, reciprocating screws, screws with pins, barrels with pins, rolls, rams, helical rotors, or a combination comprising at least one of the foregoing.
- Melt blending involving the aforementioned forces may be conducted in machines such as, but not limited to, single or multiple screw extruders, Buss kneader, Henschel, helicones, Ross mixer, Banbury, roll mills, molding machines such as injection molding machines, vacuum forming machines, blow molding machine, or then like, or a combination comprising at least one of the foregoing machines. It is generally desirable during melt or solution blending of the composition to impart a specific energy of about 0.01 to about 10 kilowatt-hour/kilogram (kwhr/kg) of the composition. Within this range, a specific energy of greater than or equal to about 0.05, preferably greater than or equal to about 0.08, and more preferably greater than or equal to about 0.09 kwhr/kg is generally desirable for blending the composition. Also desirable is an amount of specific energy less than or equal to about 9, preferably less than or equal to about 8, and more preferably less than or equal to about 7 kwhr/kg for blending the nanocomposite composition.
- In one embodiment, the polymeric composition in powder form, pellet form, sheet form, or the like, may be first dry blended with the nanoparticles and other optional fillers if desired in a Henschel or a roll mill, prior to being fed into a melt blending device such as an extruder or Buss kneader. In another embodiment, the nanoparticles are introduced into the melt blending device in the form of a masterbatch. In such a process, the masterbatch may be introduced into the melt blending device downstream of the polymeric composition.
- When a masterbatch is used, the nanoparticles may be present in the masterbatch in an amount of about 1 to about 50 wt %, of the total weight of the masterbatch. In one embodiment, the nanoparticles are used in an amount of greater than or equal to about 1.5 wt % of the total weight of the masterbatch. In another embodiment, the nanoparticles are used in an amount of greater or equal to about 2wt %, of the total weight of the masterbatch. In another embodiment, the nanoparticles are used in an amount of greater than or equal to about 2.5 wt %, of the total weight of the masterbatch. In one embodiment, the nanoparticles are used in an amount of less than or equal to about 30 wt %, of the total weight of the masterbatch. In another embodiment, the nanoparticles are used in an amount of less than or equal to about 10 wt %, of the total weight of the masterbatch. In another embodiment, the nanoparticles are used in an amount of less than or equal to about 5 wt %, of the total weight of the masterbatch. Examples of polymeric compositions that may be used in masterbatches are polypropylene, polyetherimides, polyamides, polyesters, or the like, or a combination comprising at least on of the foregoing polymeric compositions.
- In another embodiment relating to the use of masterbatches in polymeric blends, it is sometimes desirable to have the masterbatch comprising a polymeric composition that is the same as the polymeric composition that forms the continuous phase of the nanocomposite composition. In yet another embodiment relating to the use of masterbatches in polymeric blends, it may be desirable to have the masterbatch comprising a polymeric composition that is different in chemistry from other the polymers that are used in the nanocomposite composition. In this case, the polymeric composition of the masterbatch will form the continuous phase in the blend.
- The nanocomposite composition comprising the polymeric composition and the nanoparticles may be subject to multiple blending and forming steps if desirable. For example, the nanocomposite composition may first be extruded and formed into pellets. The pellets may then be fed into a molding machine where it may be formed into other desirable shapes. Alternatively, the nanocomposite composition emanating from a single melt blender may be formed into sheets or strands and subjected to post-extrusion processes such as annealing, uniaxial or biaxial orientation.
- Solution blending may also be used to manufacture the nanocomposite composition. The solution blending may also use additional energy such as shear, compression, ultrasonic vibration, or the like to promote homogenization of the nanoparticles with the polymeric composition. In one embodiment, a polymeric composition suspended in a fluid may be introduced into an ultrasonic sonicator along with the nanoparticles. The mixture may be solution blended by sonication for a time period effective to disperse the nanoparticles within the polymeric composition. The polymeric composition along with the nanoparticles may then be dried, extruded and molded if desired. It is generally desirable for the fluid to swell the polymeric composition during the process of sonication. Swelling the polymeric composition generally improves the ability of the nanoparticles to impregnate the polymeric composition during the solution blending process and consequently improves dispersion.
- In another embodiment related to solution blending, the nanoparticles are sonicated together with polymeric composition precursors. Polymeric composition precursors are generally monomers, dimers, trimers, or the like, which can be reacted into polymeric compositions. A fluid such as a solvent may optionally be introduced into the sonicator with the nanoparticles and the polymeric composition precursor. The time period for the sonication is generally an amount effective to promote encapsulation of the nanoparticles by the polymeric composition precursor. After the encapsulation, the polymeric composition precursor is then polymerized to form a polymeric composition within which is dispersed the nanoparticles.
- Suitable examples of monomers that may be used to facilitate this method of encapsulation and dispersion are those used in the synthesis of thermoplastic polymers such as, but not limited to polyacetals, polyacrylics, polycarbonates, polystyrenes, polyesters, polyamides, polyamideimides, polyarylates, polyurethanes, polyarylsulfones, polyethersulfones, polyarylene sulfides, polyvinyl chlorides, polysulfones, polyetherimides, polytetrafluoroethylenes, polyetherketones, polyether etherketones, or the like, or a combination comprising at least one of the foregoing. In one embodiment, the mixture of polymeric composition, polymeric composition precursor, fluid and/or the nanoparticles is sonicated for a period of about 1 minute to about 24 hours. In another embodiment, the mixture is sonicated for a period of greater than or equal to about 5 minutes. In another embodiment, the mixture is sonicated for a period of greater than or equal to about 10 minutes. In another embodiment, the mixture is sonicated for a period of greater than or equal to about 15 minutes. In one embodiment, the mixture is sonicated for a period of less than or equal to about 15 hours. In another embodiment, the mixture is sonicated for a period of less than or equal to about 10 hours. In another embodiment, the mixture is sonicated for a period of and more preferably less than or equal to about 5 hours.
- Solvents may optionally be used in the solution blending of the nanocomposite composition. The solvent may be used as a viscosity modifier, or to facilitate the dispersion and/or suspension of nanoparticles. Liquid aprotic polar solvents such as propylene carbonate, ethylene carbonate, butyrolactone, acetonitrile, benzonitrile, nitromethane, nitrobenzene, sulfolane, dimethylformamide, N-methylpyrrolidone, or the like, or a combination comprising at least one of the foregoing solvents may be used. Polar protic solvents such as water, methanol, acetonitrile, nitromethane, ethanol, propanol, isopropanol, butanol, or the like, or a combination comprising at least one of the foregoing polar protic solvents may be used. Other non-polar solvents such benzene, toluene, methylene chloride, carbon tetrachloride, hexane, diethyl ether, tetrahydrofuran, or the like, or a combination comprising at least one of the foregoing solvents may also be used if desired. Co-solvents comprising at least one aprotic polar solvent and at least one non-polar solvent may also be used. In one embodiment, the solvent is xylene or N-methylpyrrolidone.
- If a solvent is used, it may be utilized in an amount of about 1 to about 50 wt %, of the total weight of the nanocomposite composition. In one embodiment, if a solvent is used, it may be utilized in an amount of about 3 to about 30 wt %, of the total weight of the nanocomposite composition. In yet another embodiment, if a solvent is used, it may be utilized in an amount of about 5 to about 20 wt %, of the total weight of the nanocomposite composition. It is generally desirable to evaporate the solvent before, during and/or after the blending of the nanocomposite composition.
- After solution blending, the solution comprising the desired composition can be cast, spin cast, dip coated, spray painted, brush painted and/or electrostatically spray painted onto a desired substrate. The solution is then dried leaving behind the composition on the surface. In another embodiment, the solution comprising the desired composition may be spun, compression molded, injection molded or blow molded to form an article comprising the composition.
- Blending can be assisted using various secondary species such as dispersants, binders, modifiers, detergents, and additives. Secondary species may also be added to enhance one to more of the properties of the nanocomposite composition. Blending can also be assisted by pre-coating the nanoparticles with a thin layer of the polymeric composition or with a phase that is compatible with the polymeric composition, such as, for example a silane layer.

TABLE 1 Particle Identification Particle size (nanometers) hexamethyldisilazane (HDMZ) treated 7 AEROSIL ® R 812 untreated AEROSIL ® 3807.8 densified AEROSIL ® 200 W 12 untreated AEROSIL ® 200 Pharma12 untreated AEROSIL ® EG 5040 - 25 grams of ULTEM® was first dissolved in 153 grams of n-methyl pyrrolidone (NMP) solvent to form an ULTEM® solution. The silica nanoparticles were added in an amount of about 5 wt %, based on the total weigh of the ULTEM® as well as the nanoparticles. The ULTEM® solution containing the nanoparticles was then cast under a clean hood. The solution was dried until films were formed. The nanocomposite composition films were subjected to breakdown strength tests by applying an electric field at a increasing rate of 500 volts per second. The results are shown in the
FIG. 1 . From the FIG. I it may be seen that the smaller particles having a particle size of less than or equal to about 10 nanometers were found to increase the breakdown strength. Surface treated silica nanoparticles facilitate the development of a higher breakdown strength. The coarser particles do not display a tendency to increase the breakdown strength. From theFIG. 1 , it may be seen that the dielectric constant can increase by an amount of about 33% by decreasing the size of the particles from micrometer sized particles to nanoparticles. - Example 2 illustrates the effect on breakdown strength when various weight percents of alumina nanoparticles are incorporated into a polymeric composition. The alumina nanoparticles were 40 nanometers in size and incorporated into ULTEM® at 2.5 wt % and 5 wt % as detailed in the Example 1. The results are shown as a bar graph in
FIG. 2 . From theFIG. 2 , it can be seen that the incorporation of the nanoparticles increases the dielectric strength by a factor of at least about 60%. - Example 3 illustrates the increase in the dielectric constant when alumina nanoparticles are incorporated into a polymeric composition. The alumina nanoparticles were 40 nanometers in size and incorporated into ULTEM® at 5 wt % in a manner similar to that described in the Example 1. The results are shown as a graph in
FIG. 3 . Dielectric constant as a function of frequency of measurement was measured at room temperature using a HP4285A LCR dielectric spectrometer manufactured by Hewlett Packard. From theFIG. 3 it can be seen that the dielectric constant for the nanocomposite is about 4, which is 25% increase as compared to that of ULTEM®, which has a dielectric constant (K) of about 3.15. -
FIG. 4 is a scanning electron micrograph of the dispersed alumina nanoparticles at 5800× magnification. - From the above examples it may be seen that the breakdown strength of the nanocomposite composition is increased by at least 50% over a polymeric composition that does not contain the nanoparticles. In one embodiment, the breakdown strength of the nanocomposite composition is increased by at least 100% over a polymeric composition that does not contain the nanoparticles. In another embodiment, the breakdown strength of the nanocomposite composition is increased by at least 150% over a polymeric composition that does not contain the nanoparticles.
- In one exemplary embodiment, the nanocomposite composition can have an impact strength of greater than or equal to about 10 kJ/m2, a Class A surface finish and a breakdown strength of at least 300 V/micrometer.
- In another exemplary embodiment, the nanocomposite composition can have an impact strength of greater than or equal to about 10 kJ/m2, a Class A surface finish and a corona resistance of about 1000 volts to 5000 volts applied for about 200 hours to about 2000 hours.
- While the invention has been described with reference to exemplary embodiments, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes may be made and equivalents may be substituted for elements thereof without departing from the scope of the invention. In addition, many modifications may be made to adapt a particular situation or material to the teachings of the invention without departing from the essential scope thereof. Therefore, it is intended that the invention not be limited to the particular embodiment disclosed as the best mode contemplated for carrying out this invention, but that the invention will include all embodiments falling within the scope of the appended claims.
