| Abstract Scope |
This work proposes for the first time to develop a nanocomposite from polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) based microfibers and reduced graphene oxide (rGO), synthesized using the Solution Blow-Spinning (SBS) technique. This technique allows the production of fibers with a small diameter using a thermoplastic polymer, being capable of producing microfibers on a large scale. The interest is related to the reduction of the diameter when compared to conventional fibers, as the diameter size of these materials directly affects their properties, which tend to improve as the contact surface increases, thereby improving wettability. The results obtained from experimental tests of concentration and morphology through Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) during the development of the nanocomposite will indicate the feasibility of producing a pure PMMA nanocomposite (matrix) funcionalized with rGO in powder form (filler) for applications such as conductive polymer composites via Solution Blow Spinning. |
