Graphene oxide can be reduced to graphene under supercritical fluid condition even without using a specific reducing agent or applying a high thermal process. In this study, a process for converting graphene oxide into graphene was studied under supercritical fluid conditions in methanol and ethanol solvents. When the structure of asprepared graphene was analyzed by using FE-SEM and XRD, the reduction of graphene oxide in supercritical fluid condition was more affected by the change of solvent than other variables such as concentration of graphene oxide and reaction time. The use of ethanol showed better results for the reduction than the use of methanol. The graphene prepared in this study was mixed with epoxy resin up to 20 wt.% to make composites, and the thermal conductivity of the composites were analyzed. Thermal conductivity of the composite increased proportionally with graphene loadings. The graphene prepared in supercritical ethanol condition was more effective on the thermal conductivity of the composite.

Polysulfone composites including graphene were prepared, and their thermal characteristics in membrane states were analyzed by using a custome-made residual stress analyzer and a thermal diffusivity analyzer based on laser flash method. The residual stress analysis was carried out on the polysulfone composite films deposited on Si (100) substrates for 1 cycle of heating and cooling runs. The flat membrane of graphene-embedded polysulfone composites were prepared by the phase transfer method in distilled water and the thermal conductivity was separately measured in the out-of-plane and the in-plane directions. The residual stress of the graphene-embedded polysulfone film was gradually decreased with increasing graphene loading and the out-of-plane thermal conductivity was distinguished from the in-plane thermal conductivity in the flat membranes. These thermal characteristics are caused by the structural uniqueness of graphene and the micro-void structures formed during membrane fabrication.

Polymer composites are materials in which various fillers are uniformly dispersed on the basis of organic resin. They have excellent processability and diversity for industrial products. Recently, as carbon nanomaterials are developed, there is a great deal of effort to use them as reinforcing fillers to fabricate high performance composite materials. In order to transfer the inherent properties of fillers into composite materials as much as possible, the good dispersion and orientation of fillers, and favorable interfacial interaction between fillers and matrix are considered to be very important. In this review article, we intent to derive and explain the relationship between surface chemical structure of fillers and physical properties of composites as a strategy of high strength and toughness of graphenebased polyimide composites.

Functionalized graphene/epoxy composites were prepared to miprove thermal conductivities of epoxy composites and to maintain electrical insulating property. Graphene oxide (GO) was prepared using Hummers method, and then GO was reacted with aluminum isopropoxide to functionalize $Al(OH)_3$ layer onto GO surface by a simple sol-gel method (Al-GO). GO and Al-GO were characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. The analyses confirm that GO was coated with a large and dense coverage of $Al(OH)_3$. GO and Al-GO (1 and 3 wt%) were embedded in bisphenol A (DGEBA) to investigate the effects of electrical insulating property. Electrical resistivity showed that Al-GO had better insulating property than GO. Further, the thermal conductivity of GO and Al-GO/epoxy composites was higher than that of neat epoxy resins. In particular, the thermal conductivity of Al-GO/bisphenol F (DGEBF) improved by 23.3% and Al-GO/DGEBA enhanced by 21.8% compared with pure epoxy resins.

Polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) is a semi-crystalline engineering thermoplastic resin that has outstanding thermal stability, mechanical strength, inherent flame retardancy, chemical resistance, and electrical properties. Due to these outstanding properties, it is preferred as a matrix for composite materials. Many studies have been conducted to produce composites with carbon fibers and glass fibers to improve mechanical properties and provide functionality of PPS. In this review paper, we report a brief introduction to the fabrication and applications of PPS composites with carbon nanotubes, graphene, carbon fibers, and glass fibers.

In this study, oxidized graphene nanoplatelet(GO) was prepared by oxidizing graphene nanoplatelet(GNP) with nitric acid in order to solve the problem of dispersion of GNP, one of nano materials. The surface chemical composition of the prepared GO was analyzed by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FT-IR) before incorporation into the epoxy paint, and the dispersibility in the solvent was confirmed. Meanwhile, GNP/Epoxy and GO/Epoxy paint were prepared by mixing GNP, GO with 0.1, 0.3, 0.5 and 1.0wt.% in epoxy paint and the mechanical properties were evaluated. As a result, GNP/Epoxy and GO/Epoxy paints showed better mechanical properties than Neat Epoxy which did not incorporate GNP, GO. Especially, when 0.3wt.% of GO was incorporated into epoxy resin, it showed higher tensile strength than Neat Epoxy. It was confirmed that acid treatment of GNP was effective in improving the mechanical properties of epoxy paint.

Graphene oxide (GO), known for its high stiffness, thermal conductivity, and electrical conductivity, is being utilized as a reinforcement in nanocomposite materials. This study evaluates the mechanical properties of epoxy nanocomposites incorporating GO and edge modified GO (E-GO), which has hydroxyl groups substituted only on its edges. GO/E-GO was uniformly dispersed in epoxy resin using ultrasonic dispersion, and mechanical properties were assessed through tensile testing. The results showed that the addition of nanoparticles increased both tensile strength and toughness. The tensile strength of the epoxy without nanoparticles was 74.4 MPa, while the highest tensile strength of 90.7 MPa was observed with 0.3 wt% E-GO. Additionally, the modulus increased from 2.55 GPa to 3.53 GPa with the addition of nanoparticles. Field emission scanning electron microscopy of the fracture surface revealed that the growth of cracks was impeded by the nanoparticles, preventing complete fracture and causing the cracks to split in multiple directions. E-GO, with surface treatment only on the edges, exhibited higher mechanical properties than GO due to its superior dispersion and surface treatment effects. These results highlight the importance of nanoparticle surface treatment in developing high-performance nanocomposite materials.
