Oxidation of graphite is the first important step for industrial-scale preparation graphene by a top-down method using as starting material. In this study, was oxidized thermal, chemical (sulphuric acid, ozone, peracetic benzoyl peroxide), thermo-chemical (heat treatment in presence sulphuric acid) and mechano-chemical (sonication with acid ozone environment) methods efficiency different oxidat...

Radical polymerization of methyl methacrylate with the addition Cu(II), Ni(II), Co(II) 3-allylpentan-2,4-dione chelates was carried out. It is shown that in case cobalt complex, process occurs at rates comparable to those traditional radical initiator, benzoyl peroxide. The resulting polymethyl has large molecular weights and contains fragments β-diketonates polymer, which graft side chains. br...
