Essay

The dissertation is devoted to the development of methods for modifying carbon nanotubes (CNTs) with oxygen by anodic oxidation, nitrogen in the process of CCVD synthesis of CNTs, to obtain effective reinforcing fillers of epoxy binder fiberglass with an amine hardener, their optimization in terms of composition and content, and the catalysis of redox reactions. It was optimized method of aerosol synthesis of the complex oxide catalyst (1…3)Al : Fe : (0,04…0,21), which includes the use of an aqueous solution of the compound of aluminum with formic acid and the compound of ferrum (III) citrate and the citrate complex of molybdenum (IV), feeding into an electric furnace or propane-butane burner's flame using an ultrasonic mixer-sprayer, and the catalyst powder is collected on an electrostatic precipitator. A method for the synthesis of N–CNTs by the CCVD method on a complex catalyst Al–Fe–Mo–O was developed using as a precursor acetonitrile, ethylenediamine and their mixtures with propylene — the main source of сarbon, at temperatures of 750—780 °C, which makes it possible to regulate nitrogen content in the range of 0.6—4.6 at.% and the ratio of its various states. It was established that the specific surface area of CNTs and the oxygen content during their anodic oxidation are a non-monotonic function of the amount of electricity passed and are correlated with each other. The CVD method of direct synthesis allows to obtain N–CNTs with a higher nitrogen content, mainly of pyrrole and quaternary type, and high catalytic activity in redox reactions. Regardless of the method of synthesis of N–CNTs, the maximum catalytic activity in the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide is observed at pH 7. It was established that the specific surface area of CNTs and the oxygen content during their anodic oxidation are a non-monotonic function of the amount of electricity passed through. For the first time, the synergistic effect of increasing the strength of fiberglass model samples by almost two times under the condition of introducing the initial (hydrophobic) CNTs into the hardener, and oxidized CNTs (O–CNTs) into the epoxy binder, compared to samples with the same content of CNTs in the same state (initial or oxidized). Using quantum chemical calculations, a scheme of chemical processes is proposed that explains the effect of the chemical state of the surface of CNTs on the polymerization of epoxy resin: equally charged O–CNTs have no tendency to reverse agglomeration, they catalyze the polymerization of epoxy resin, and the amine hardener performs the function of a surfactant in relation to initial hydrophobic CNTs, which also prevents the reverse agglomeration of CNTs, and together these phenomena lead to a synergistic effect of increasing the strength of the composite. Keywords: aerosol synthesis, catalytic vapors deposition, carbon nanotubes,anodic oxidation, N–CNT, O–CNT, fiberglass, synergistic effect, catalytic activity, quantum chemical modeling.
