Fabrication of a composite material of polycaprolactone synthesized via ring-opening polymerization and functionalized with multi-walled carbon nanotubes.
Abstract High molecular weight polycaprolactone was synthesized using a solvent-free, eco-friendly ring-opening polymerization (ROP) method. Raman spectroscopy confirmed the synthesis, and the thermal characteristics were analyzed via differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were employed to functionalize the PCL to produce composite materials, and the chemical bonding was verified using Raman spectroscopy. The optimal MWCNT couplings for PCL were determined to be 1%, 3%, and 5% (w/w).
