Abstract: Molybdenum disulfide (MoS 2 ) nanosheets were non-covalently organo-modified by electrostatically interacting with cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) and then were used to reinforce the properties of polyurethane acrylate (PUA) resin for the first time. Benefited from the alkyl chain of CPC, the modified MoS 2 nanosheets can be well dispersed in PUA matrix. Notably, inclusion of 0.5 wt% CPC-MoS 2 leads to a 11.7 °C increase in the temperature corresponding to 50 wt % weight loss, indicating the enhanced thermal stability of PUA nanocomposites. Moreover, the improvement in tensile strength, work of fracture and storage modulus (at −75 °C) of PUA/f-MoS 2 nanocomposites can reach up to 37.4%, 41.9% and 102.0% respectively. This substantial nano-reinforcement is mainly attributed to the proper organic modification and inherent feature of MoS 2 nanosheets. The strong interfacial adhesion within PUA/f-MoS 2 nanocomposites can efficiently transfer the load from weak polymer chains to robust MoS 2 nanosheets. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
