We report an easy and efficient approach to the development of advanced thermoplastic composites based on multi-scale carbon fiber (CF) and graphene nanoplatelet (GN) reinforcement. Poly (arylene ether nitrile) (PEN)/CF/GN composites, prepared by the twin-screw extrusion, exhibited excellent mechanical properties. For example, the flexural modulus of PEN/CF/GN composites was 18.6 GPa, which is 1.7, 4.5 and 6.4 times larger than those of PEN/CF composites, PEN/GN composites and PEN host, respectively. Based on the SEM image observation, such mechanical enhancements can be attributed to the synergetic effect of micro-scale CF and nano-scale GN in the PEN matrix (decreased matrix-rich and free-volume regions and enhanced interfacial interactions). For 5 wt.% GN-filled PEN/CF/GN composites, the T-d30% of PEN/CF/GN composites was 145 degrees C and 62.8 degrees C compared with those of PEN host and PEN/CF composites, respectively. This study has demonstrated that multi-scale CF and GN have an obvious synergetic reinforcing effect on the mechanical properties and thermal stabilities of thermoplastic composites, which provides an easy and effective way to design and improve the properties of composite materials.
