Surface modified graphene oxide/poly(vinyl alcohol) composite for enhanced hydrogen gas barrier film
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract A series of novel polyethyleneimine (PEI) modified graphene oxide (PEI-mGO) filled poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) nanocomposite (PEI-mGO/PVA) films were prepared by solution-casing for hydrogen gas barrier applications. Hydrophilic PEI was used to simultaneously reduce and modify graphene oxide sheets, thereby facilitating a homogeneous dispersion of PEI-mGO in the PVA matrix. The effects of PEI-mGO on the morphology and properties of the nanocomposite films were examined by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis and field emission scanning electron microscopy. Analogous GO/PVA composites were also prepared and characterized for comparative purposes. The PEI-mGO/PVA nanocomposites showed higher thermal and mechanical stability as well as remarkable improvement in hydrogen gas barrier properties compared to the PVA film; specifically, the PEI-mGO/PVA film having 3.0 wt% of PEI-mGO content exhibited almost 95% decrease in GTR and permeability values compared to PVA film.
