    Journal: Carbohydr Polym; 2013 Apr 15; 94(1):63-70. PubMed ID: 23544510.
    Abstract:
    The graphite was oxidized to prepare graphene oxide (GO), and GO was reduced by glucose to obtain reduced graphene oxide (RGO) sheet. There were abundant and residual oxygen-containing groups on GO and RGO, respectively. Compared to graphite, the GO and RGO sheets appeared flat and transparent, and the aqueous suspensions followed the Lambert-Beer's law well. The composites were also fabricated by using GO and RGO as the filler in plasticized-starch (PS) matrix. Because of more oxygen-containing groups, GO could form the stronger interaction with PS matrix than RGO. And GO/PS composites exhibited better tensile strength, elongation at break and moisture barrier than RGO/PS composites, but lower thermal stability. GO/PS composites could protect against UV light, while the conductivities of RGO/PS composites could reach 1.07×10(-4), 6.92×10(-4) and 0.01 S/cm, respectively stored at RH50, 75 and 100%.
