Abstract

The pH-responsive polyelectrolyte, named poly(methyl vinyl ether-alt-maleic anhydride) (PVM/MA), was grafted onto the surface of carbon black (CB) by ultrasonically degraded method. The effect of pH on the dispersion of PVM/MA grafted CB in water and waterborne polyurethane (WPU) was studied. Particle size of PVM/MA grafted CB and its transmission electron microscope images showed the increasing of pH in the suspension of grafted CB easily causes the aggregates of grafted CB. Furthermore, scanning electron microscope images showed grafted CB had better dispersibility than that of untreated CB in WPU emulsion or corresponding solid composite. When grafted CB was neutralized in aqueous solution, the compatibility between PVM/MA grafted CB and WPU got poor. In addition, the dispersion of grafted CB in solid composite could be controlled through tuning the composite resistance.
