High loss factor piezoelectric damping composite with three-dimensional reduced graphene oxide as the conductive phase.

ABSTRACT: In this study, a lead zirconate titanate (PZT)/in situ polymerized polyurethane (PU) composite with three-dimensional (3D) reduced graphene oxide (rGO) as the conductive phase was prepared and the potential of 3D rGO to enhance the damping properties was investigated. The conductivity and damping properties of the composite were systematically investigated. The results show that the conductive threshold of the composite is reached at a very low rGO content of about 0.7 wt% by using the 3D rGO structure. The best damping performance of the piezoelectric damping composite is achieved at the conductive threshold, where the loss factor is 0.22 (almost 41%) higher and the temperature range where tan δ ≥ 0.3 is 13.2 °C (almost 84%) wider than those of the PU matrix.
