Moisture Barrier Composites Made of Non‐Oxidized Graphene Flakes. Issue 26 (26th February 2015) - Kim, Jungmo
Abstract Graphene flakes (GFs) with minimized defects and oxidation ratios are incorporated into polyethylene (PE) to enhance the moisture barrier. GFs produced involving solvothermal intercalation show extremely low oxidation rates (3.17%), and are noncovalently functionalized in situ, inducing strong hydrophobicity. The fabricated composite possesses the best moisture barrier performance reported for a polymer–graphene composite.
