Abstract:In this study, free-standing expanded graphite chitosan (EG-chitosan) nanocomposite films have been prepared using a novel green and simple preparation method, starting from a commercial expandable graphite (GIC). The in situ exfoliation of GIC by a solvent-free sonication method was monitored as a function of the process parameters using X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), dynamic light scattering (DLS) and UV-visible transmittance (UV-VIS) analyses. The optimal process parameters were selected in order to obtain an efficient dispersion of EG in chitosan solutions. The effective EG amount after the in situ exfoliation was also determined by thermogravimetric analyses.

“…Polymer nanocomposites, that is, polymers reinforced with filler particles of nanometric size, have attracted significant scientific and technological interest owing to relevant enhancements in physical properties. Most of the carbon‐based nanofillers studied for polymer composites are carbon nanotubes, but graphite nanoplatelets and graphene (often dispersed as reduced graphene oxide) have also been extensively studied . Polymer composites with graphene and graphite nanoplatelets present improved electrical and thermal conductivity as well as improved modulus, strength, and barrier properties.…”

This review reports on the catalytic activity of graphene oxide (GO) and high‐surface‐area graphite (HSAG) for some relevant organic reactions. It is shown that the main drawbacks of graphite‐based catalysts, that is, high catalyst loading and generally poor selectivity, can often be removed by operating under solvent‐free conditions. Moreover, some reactions that are catalyzed by GO as well as HSAG are presented. For these reactions, π stacking of the aromatic substrates with the graphitic planes plays a predominant role in the catalytic activity and the unexpected diastereoselective and enantioselective behaviors.

“…Representation of MWCNT buckypaper and its microstructure observed by SEM [61] . properties of BPs prepared by vacuum filtration technique are relatively weak, leading to a Young's modulus and a tensile strength of 0.2-2 GPa and 2-33 MPa, respectively [68][69][70][71][72] . However, when polymer matrices are incorporated into BPs these properties display a significant improvement.…”

Carbon nanotube buckypaper reinforced polymer composites: a review

RbstractThis review provides valuable information about the general characteristics, processing conditions and physical properties of carbon nanotube buckypaper (BP) and its polymer composites. Vacuum filtration is the most common technique used for manufacturing BP, since the carbon nanotubes are dispersed in aqueous solution with the aid of surfactant. Previous works have reported that mechanical properties of BP prepared by vacuum filtration technique are relatively weak. On the other hand, the incorporation of polymer materials in those nanostructures revealed a significant improvement in their mechanical behavior, since the impregnation between matrix and BP is optimized. Electrical conductivity of BP/polymer composites can reach values as high as 2000 S/m, which are several orders of magnitude greater than traditional CNT/polymer composites. Also, BP can improve remarkably the thermal stability of polymer matrices, opening new perspectives to use this material in fire retardant applications.
