Surface Treatment And Modification Of Graphene Using Organosilane And Its Thermal Stability

“…The emergence of yet another small peak at 1703 cm-1 confirms the oxidation of the graphene surface. This peak, absent in raw graphene is attributed to the symmetrical stretching of C-O [19,22]. Fig.…”

“…The peaks at 1059 and 787 cm-1 can be attributed to the stretching of Si-O and Si-OH bonds respectively and indicates the presence of functionalized moieties (silane group in this case) [24]. The peaks at 3615, 1772, 1574, and 1163 cm-1 can be attributed to the presence O-H, C=O, C=C, and C-O stretching on the surface of the functionalized graphene respectively [19,22]. The presence of all the above-mentioned vibrations, including those of the silane group, confirms the functionalization of graphene using this facile route.…”

“…The peak at 3604 cm-1 is attributed to O-H bonds and indicates the presence of surface-absorbed moisture. The peaks at 3098, 1574, and 1163 cm-1 are attributed to the symmetrical stretching of C-H, C=C, and C-O bonds respectively [19,22]. Fig.…”

Tailoring environment friendly carbon nanostructures by surfactant mediated interfacial engineering

“…It was notable that coupling of PbS with titania extended the response to visible light. Functionalized graphenes are very attractive fillers for coatings and adhesives [128][129][130].…”

Flexible free-standing composite films having 3D continuous structures of hollow graphene ellipsoids

“…However, the tendency of graphene sheets to agglomerate and the high contact resistance between graphene sheets in a polymer matrix pose a challenge. 6 Recently, the use of three-dimensional (3D) graphene networks in polymer matrices has attracted a great deal of interest as a new strategy for fabricating highly flexible and conductive graphene-based polymer nanocomposites. Because of the π-π stacking and the van der Waals interactions among the basal planes of graphene sheets, graphene can not only form uniform and well-ordered networks, but also promotes homogeneous dispersion of the nanocomposite, resulting in a reduced contact resistance between graphene sheets and enhanced mechanical characteristics.…”
