Definitions
- the present invention relates to coatings comprising functionalized graphene sheets and at least one binder.
- the coatings can be electrically conductive.
- Surface coatings can be used to impart articles with desirable properties that are not possessed by the articles themselves or not possessed in a sufficient degree. For example, there are myriad applications for which it would be desirable to use electrically conductive and/or thermally conductive components having good physical properties. Because of their intrinsic conductivities and frequently advantageous physical properties, metals are often useful for such applications but can have drawbacks, including increased weight, cost, and that they can be difficult and/or inconvenient to form into a variety of shapes, including intricate parts.
- EMI electromagnetic interference
- electrically conductive to be EMI shielding necessitating the use of conductive additives, which can often have deleterious effects on other properties (such as physical properties) of the materials. It would thus be desirable to conveniently obtain an electrically conductive coating that could be applied to a polymeric housing or other article to achieve a desired degree of EMI shielding.
- Electrically conductive coatings can also be advantageously used with metals.
- electrically conductive coatings can be used to provide metal structures with long-lasting corrosion resistance.
- Coatings can also be used for countless other applications, including providing UV radiation resistance, abrasion resistance, thermal conductivity, impact resistance, stiffness, and many others.
- U.S. Pat. No. 6,265,466 discloses an electromagnetic shielding composite having nanotubes.
- U.S. Pat. No. 7,060,241 discloses electrically conductive films including carbon nanotubes.
- U.S. Pat. No. 7,118,693 discloses conformal coatings that provide shielding against electromagnetic interference that comprise an insulating layer and a conducting layer containing electrically conductive material.

- coatings comprising functionalized graphene sheets and at least one binder. Further disclosed and claimed herein is a method for coating a substrate with a coating comprising functionalized graphene sheets and at least one binder.
- coating refers to a coating in a form that is suitable for application to a substrate as well as the material after it is applied to the substrate, while it is being applied to the substrate, and both before and after any post-application treatments (such as evaporation, cross-linking, curing, and the like).
- post-application treatments such as evaporation, cross-linking, curing, and the like.
- the components of the coating compositions may vary during these stages.
- the coatings comprise high surface area functionalized graphene sheets and at least one binder and may optionally comprise additional components, such as at least one carrier other than a binder.
- Preferred binders are polymeric binders.
- Polymeric binders can be thermoplastics or thermosets and may be elastomers. Binders may also comprise monomers that can be polymerized before, during, or after the application of the coating to the substrate. Polymeric binders may be cross-linked or otherwise cured after the coating has been applied to the substrate.
- polymeric binders examples include polyethers such as poly(ethylene oxide)s (also known as poly(ethylene glycol)s, poly(propylene oxide)s (also known as poly(propylene glycol)s, and ethylene oxide/propylene oxide copolymers, cellulosic resins (such as ethyl cellulose, ethyl hydroxyethyl cellulose, carboxymethyl cellulose, cellulose acetate, cellulose acetate propionates, and cellulose acetate butyrates), and poly(vinyl butyral, polyvinyl alcohol and its derivatives, ethylene/vinyl acetate polymers, acrylic polymers and copolymers, styrene/acrylic copolymers, styrene/maleic anhydride copolymers, isobutylene/maleic anhydride copolymers, vinyl acetate/ethylene copolymers, ethylene/acrylic acid copolymers, polyolefins, polystyre

- the FGS primarily, almost completely, or completely comprise fully exfoliated single sheets of graphite (often referred to as “graphene), while in other embodiments, they may comprise partially exfoliated graphite sheets, in which two or more sheets of graphite have not been exfoliated from each other.
- the FGS may comprise mixtures of fully and partially exfoliated graphite sheets.
- graphene sheets are from graphite and/or graphite oxide (also known as graphitic acid or graphene oxide).
- graphite may be treated with oxidizing and intercalating agents and exfoliated.
- Graphite may also be treated with intercalating agents and electrochemically oxidized and exfoliated.
- Graphene sheets may be formed by ultrasonically exfoliating suspensions of graphite and/or graphite oxide in a liquid. Exfoliated graphite oxide dispersions or suspensions can be subsequently reduced to graphene sheets.
- Graphene sheets may also be formed by mechanical treatment (such as grinding or milling) to exfoliate graphite or graphite oxide (which would subsequently be reduced to graphene sheets).
- Reduction of graphite oxide to graphene may be by means of chemical reduction using hydrogen gas or other reducing agents.
- useful chemical reducing agents include, but are not limited to, hydrazines (such as hydrazine, N,N-dimethylhydrazine, etc.), sodium borohydride, hydroquinone, and the like.
- a dispersion of exfoliated graphite oxide in a carrier can be made using any suitable method (such as ultrasonication and/or mechanical grinding or milling) and reduced to graphene sheets.
- graphite is oxidized to graphite oxide, which is then thermally exfoliated to form high surface area functionalized graphene sheets that are in the form of thermally exfoliated graphite oxide, as described in US 2007/0092432, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated herein by reference.

Abstract
Coatings comprising functionalized graphene sheets and at least one binder. In one embodiment, the coatings are electrically conductive.
Description
- This application is a Continuation of U.S. application Ser. No. 14/689,638, filed Apr. 17, 2015, which is a Continuation of U.S. application Ser. No. 12/866,089, filed Nov. 19, 2010, now U.S. Pat. No. 9,039,938, which was a 371 of PCT/US09/30579, filed Jan. 9, 2009, and claiming priority to U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 61/026,268, filed Feb. 5, 2008.
- This invention was made with Government support under Grant No. CMS-0609049, awarded by the National Science Foundation, and under Grant No. NCC1-02037, awarded by NASA. The Government has certain rights in the invention.
- The present invention relates to coatings comprising functionalized graphene sheets and at least one binder. The coatings can be electrically conductive.
- Surface coatings can used to impart articles with desirable properties that are not possessed by the articles themselves or not possessed in a sufficient degree. For example, there are myriad applications for which it would be desirable to use electrically conductive and/or thermally conductive components having good physical properties. Because of their intrinsic conductivities and frequently advantageous physical properties, metals are often useful for such applications but can have drawbacks, including increased weight, cost, and that they can be difficult and/or inconvenient to form into a variety of shapes, including intricate parts.
- Many of these drawbacks can be overcome by the use of polymeric materials, which can have cost, weight, processability, and flexibility of design advantages over metals. However, most polymer materials are not intrinsically electrically or thermally conductive enough for many applications. Conductive polymeric resin compositions can be made in some cases by adding fillers to polymers, but high loadings are often required, which can be to the detriment of physical and other properties of the materials, as well as lead to melt processing difficulties when thermoplastic materials are used, among other possible drawbacks.
- In many cases, it would be sufficient for only a portion of a part be conductive. For example, as electronics become more and more pervasive, it is becoming increasingly important that a variety materials having electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding properties be readily available. Housings for many electronic parts can be conveniently made from polymeric materials, but few useful polymers are sufficiently
- electrically conductive to be EMI shielding, necessitating the use of conductive additives, which can often have deleterious effects on other properties (such as physical properties) of the materials. It would thus be desirable to conveniently obtain an electrically conductive coating that could be applied to a polymeric housing or other article to achieve a desired degree of EMI shielding.
- Electrically conductive coatings can also be advantageously used with metals. For example, electrically conductive coatings can be used to provide metal structures with long-lasting corrosion resistance.
- Coatings can also be used for countless other applications, including providing UV radiation resistance, abrasion resistance, thermal conductivity, impact resistance, stiffness, and many others.
- It would be desirable to obtain coatings that can be used with a wide variety of substrates to provide useful properties.
- U.S. Pat. No. 6,265,466 discloses an electromagnetic shielding composite having nanotubes. U.S. Pat. No. 7,060,241 discloses electrically conductive films including carbon nanotubes. U.S. Pat. No. 7,118,693 discloses conformal coatings that provide shielding against electromagnetic interference that comprise an insulating layer and a conducting layer containing electrically conductive material. US 2007/0092432 discloses thermally exfoliated graphite oxide.
- Disclosed and claimed herein are coatings comprising functionalized graphene sheets and at least one binder. Further disclosed and claimed herein is a method for coating a substrate with a coating comprising functionalized graphene sheets and at least one binder.
- As used herein, the term “coating” refers to a coating in a form that is suitable for application to a substrate as well as the material after it is applied to the substrate, while it is being applied to the substrate, and both before and after any post-application treatments (such as evaporation, cross-linking, curing, and the like). The components of the coating compositions may vary during these stages.
- The coatings comprise high surface area functionalized graphene sheets and at least one binder and may optionally comprise additional components, such as at least one carrier other than a binder.
- Preferred binders are polymeric binders. Polymeric binders can be thermoplastics or thermosets and may be elastomers. Binders may also comprise monomers that can be polymerized before, during, or after the application of the coating to the substrate. Polymeric binders may be cross-linked or otherwise cured after the coating has been applied to the substrate. Examples of preferred polymeric binders include polyethers such as poly(ethylene oxide)s (also known as poly(ethylene glycol)s, poly(propylene oxide)s (also known as poly(propylene glycol)s, and ethylene oxide/propylene oxide copolymers, cellulosic resins (such as ethyl cellulose, ethyl hydroxyethyl cellulose, carboxymethyl cellulose, cellulose acetate, cellulose acetate propionates, and cellulose acetate butyrates), and poly(vinyl butyral, polyvinyl alcohol and its derivatives, ethylene/vinyl acetate polymers, acrylic polymers and copolymers, styrene/acrylic copolymers, styrene/maleic anhydride copolymers, isobutylene/maleic anhydride copolymers, vinyl acetate/ethylene copolymers, ethylene/acrylic acid copolymers, polyolefins, polystyrenes, olefin and styrene copolymers, epoxy resins, acrylic latex polymers, polyester acrylate oligomers and polymers, polyester diol diacrylate polymers, UV-curable resins, and polyamide, including polyamide polymers and copolymers (i.e., polyamides having at least two different repeat units) having melting points between about 120 and 255° C. (such as those sold under the trade names Macromelt by Henkel and Versamid by Cognis).
- The high surface area functionalized graphene sheets, which are also referred to herein as “FGS”, are graphite sheets having a surface area of from about 300 to about 2630 m2/g. In some embodiments of the present invention, the FGS primarily, almost completely, or completely comprise fully exfoliated single sheets of graphite (often referred to as “graphene), while in other embodiments, they may comprise partially exfoliated graphite sheets, in which two or more sheets of graphite have not been exfoliated from each other. The FGS may comprise mixtures of fully and partially exfoliated graphite sheets.
- One method of obtaining graphene sheets is from graphite and/or graphite oxide (also known as graphitic acid or graphene oxide). Graphite may be treated with oxidizing and intercalating agents and exfoliated. Graphite may also be treated with intercalating agents and electrochemically oxidized and exfoliated. Graphene sheets may be formed by ultrasonically exfoliating suspensions of graphite and/or graphite oxide in a liquid. Exfoliated graphite oxide dispersions or suspensions can be subsequently reduced to graphene sheets. Graphene sheets may also be formed by mechanical treatment (such as grinding or milling) to exfoliate graphite or graphite oxide (which would subsequently be reduced to graphene sheets).
- Reduction of graphite oxide to graphene may be by means of chemical reduction using hydrogen gas or other reducing agents. Examples of useful chemical reducing agents include, but are not limited to, hydrazines (such as hydrazine, N,N-dimethylhydrazine, etc.), sodium borohydride, hydroquinone, and the like. For example, a dispersion of exfoliated graphite oxide in a carrier (such as water, organic solvents, or a mixture of solvents) can be made using any suitable method (such as ultrasonication and/or mechanical grinding or milling) and reduced to graphene sheets.
- In a preferred method, graphite is oxidized to graphite oxide, which is then thermally exfoliated to form high surface area functionalized graphene sheets that are in the form of thermally exfoliated graphite oxide, as described in US 2007/0092432, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated herein by reference. The thusly formed functionalized graphene sheets may display little or no signature corresponding to graphite or graphite oxide in its X-ray or electron diffraction patterns.
- Graphite oxide may be produced by any method known in the art, such as by a process that involves oxidation of graphite using one or more chemical oxidizing agents and, optionally, intercalating agents such as sulfuric acid. Examples of oxidizing agents include nitric acid, sodium and potassium nitrates, perchlorates, hydrogen peroxide, sodium and potassium permanganates, phosphorus pentoxide, bisulfites, and the like. Preferred oxidants include KClO4; HNO3 and KClO3; KMnO4 and/or NaMnO4; KMnO4 and NaNO3; K2S2O8 and P2O5 and KMnO4; KMnO4 and HNO3; and HNO3. A preferred intercalation agent includes sulfuric acid. Graphite may also be treated with intercalating agents and electrochemically oxidized.
- Exfoliation, including the exfoliation of graphite oxide is preferably carried out at temperatures of at least 250° C. or more, preferably at temperatures of from 250 to 3000° C.
- The FGS used in the present invention preferably have a surface area of from about 300 to about 2630 m2/g, or more preferably from about 350 to about 2400 m2/g, or still more preferably of from about 400 to about 2400 m2/g, or yet more preferably of from about 500 to about 2400 m2/g. In another preferred embodiment, the surface area is about 300 to about 1100 m2/g. A single graphite sheet has a maximum calculated surface area of 2600 m2/g. The surface area includes all values and subvalues therebetween, especially including 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900, 100, 110, 1200, 1300, 1400, 1500, 1600, 1700, 1800, 1900, 2000, 2100, 2200, 2300, 2400, and 2500 m2/g.
- Surface area can be measured using either the nitrogen adsorption/BET method or, preferably, a methylene blue dye method.
- The dye method is carried out as follows: A known amount of FGS is added to a flask. At least 1.5 grams of methylene blue are then added to the flask per gram of FGS. Ethanol is added to the flask and the mixture is ultrasonicated. The ethanol is then evaporated and a known quantity of water is added to the flask to re-dissolve the free methylene blue. The undissolved material is allowed to settle, preferably by centrifuging the sample. The concentration of MB in solution is determined using a UV-vis spectrophotometer by measuring the absorption at λmax=298 nm relative to that of standard concentrations.
- The difference between the amount of methylene blue that was initially added and the amount present in solution as determined by UV-vis spectrophotometry is assumed to be the amount of methylene blue that has been adsorbed onto the surface of the FGS. The surface area of the FGS is then calculated using a value of 2.54 m2 of surface covered per one mg of methylene blue adsorbed.

The coatings can be used to form articles having anisotropic thermal and/or electrical conductivities. The coatings can be used to form three-dimensional printed prototypes
- The coatings in the form of liquid dispersions are printed onto a substrate using a doctor blade and then dried in air in an oven at 125° C. to form a film. Testing is done on the printed films (coatings).
- The point-to-point bulk electrical resistance (in ohms) of the films is measured using a standard multimeter across contact points situated about 1 inch apart. Where resistivites are quoted in ohms/square, two spots of silver paste having a diameter of about 0.3 mm are applied to the surface of the film about 1 inch apart. The resistance across these points is also measured using a standard multimeter and the reading is divided by 10 to calculate the resistivity in ohms/square. Results given as a single number are an average of several measurements and results given as a range of figures indicate the high and low readings from several measurements.
- The coatings are tested for resistance to peeling by firmly applying a piece of 3M Scotch® tape 232 to a portion of a printed film that includes at least one edge of the film. The tape is pulled off the film rapidly and the adhesive underside of the tape is checked for peeling. The peel resistance of the film is assessed as follows: excellent is no transfer of film to the tape; very good is a few small spots of film scattered on the surface of the tape; good is a number of small spots of film on the tape; fair is a thin layer of film or a large chunk of film on the tape; poor is separation of the film from the substrate or removal of a large of a large portion of the film. In some cases no cohesive film adhered to the substrate is formed.
- A fingernail is drawn back and forth across the surface of the film five times. The surface of the film where it was scratched and the tip of the nail are examined and the scratch resistance of the film is assessed as follows: excellent is no noticeable transfer of the film surface to the nail; very good is minimal transfer and no noticeable indentation on the surface of the film; good is some indentation of the film surface; fair is removal of a substantial portion of the film; and poor is where the substrate is visible. In some cases no cohesive film adhered to the substrate is formed.
