Optimizing the structure and molecular weight of polymers for graphene dispersants

Graphene is an allotrope of carbon consisting a single-atom-thick honeycomb lattice nanostructure. Among the various preparation methods for graphene, liquid-phase exfoliation graphite mass-producible and cost-effective. To facilitate in organic solvents, polymers can be employed as dispersants. We synthesized polymer dispersants with monomer ratios molecular weights investigated efficient acquisition graphene from graphite. uniform thickness was obtained when exfoliated using optimized dispersant. The enabled high yield concentration exfoliation. cost-effective method production. Polymers to solvents. methacrylate
