[0018] Hirai et al. (US Pat. No. 5,227,238) discuss that carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastics prepared by using milled fibers with extremely short fiber lengths have poorer properties than those made by using carbon fiber cut tow due to the short length of the milled fibers

Embodiment 1

[0120] Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) were used as received without modification or purification. MWNTs mainly exist as monomers of different sizes. Carbon fibers from a supplier with a diameter of about 7 microns, a length of about 150 microns, and an aspect ratio greater than 20 were pulverized until the aspect ratio was greater than 1 and less than about 5. The feed rate of MWNTs and finely ground carbon fibers was shear mixed with thermoplastic PEEK at about 355 °C in a co-rotating intermeshing twin-screw extruder (length 95 cm, L / D 38-42) to obtain a concentration in PEEK of about 1.25 wt% MWNTs and 35 wt% finely ground carbon fibers. Compounding was performed using multiple heating zones with barrel temperatures ranging from about 350°C to about 370°C. A torque of about 260 to about 360 Newton-meters is applied to the twin screws. Polymers, MWNTs and finely ground carbon fibers are mixed through the extruder's screws. No additives or dispersants are used. The...

Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention include composite compositions extrusion compounded together comprising a polymer, an amount of nanotubes, and an amount of finely milled carbon fiber having an aspect ratio greater than 1 and less than about 5. The resulting composite materials allow for high carbon loading levels with improved tribological properties including coefficient of friction and wear rates, provides uniform surface resistance with minimal processing sensitivity, retains rheological properties similar to the base resin, and provides isotropic shrink and a reduced coefficient of thermal expansion leading to minimal warp. In general, various articles can be formed that take advantage of the properties of the composite materials incorporating a polymer, carbon nanotubes and finely milled carbon fiber.

Description
