Abstract

Polymer nanocomposites reinforced by graphene oxide is one of the new research and developed from 2005 up to date. In this study, we had successfully fabricated polystyrene/graphene oxide nanocomposite by solution-based method. Graphite oxide was synthesized by the method of Hummers and exfoliated in solvent under the effect of ultrasound. The thermal and mechanical properties of PS/RGO nanocomposites were superitor to original polystyrene. In addition, our research has focused on the effect of graphene oxide to the rheological properties of polystyrene – one of the most important properties of polymer materials.
