Abstract
Silane coatings with different thicknesses were synthesized on CNFs for reinforcement of polyethylene composites. The thickness of the silane coating was adjusted by using a basic catalyst to increase the overall reactivity of the silane groups, resulting in a thick coating of ≈46 nm (ca. 90% increase in fiber diameter). DMA performed on the polyethylene composites showed a substantial increase in storage modulus from 1.68 to 2.34 GPa (40%) at low temperatures in the composite with the thick silane coating (≈46 nm) at a low loading of 0.4 wt.‐%. We believe that the silane‐treated nanofillers with thick coatings are very promising for high‐performance nanocomposites with non‐polar polymer matrices.
