High Mechanical Performance of Layered Graphene Oxide/Poly(vinyl alcohol) Nanocomposite Films

摘要

The design and fabrication of strong,lightweight,and damage-resistant composite materials are major topics of studies on composite.Biomimetics,a developing multidisciplinary field,is now leading the fabrication of novel materials with remarkable mechanical properties.Graphene oxide (GO),a graphene derivate,possesses good mechanical property,high aspect ratio,and good solubility in aqueous solution,indicating great potential in nanocomposite fields.In this work,bio-inspired layered GO/poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) nanocomposite films with remarkable mechanical performance were prepared by an environmental friendly,bottom-up assembly methodology.
