제목 Thermosensitive Graphene/Polymer Conjugates
초록 Stable aqueous solution of graphene is prepared by chemical reduction of graphene oxide (GO) in the presence of poly(N-isopropyl acrylamide) (PNIPAM) or hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC) in water through the hydrophobic interaction between graphene plates and PNIPAM or HPC backbones. Thermosensitive solubility switching of graphene/polymer conjugates are successfully demonstrated below or above lower critical solution temperature (LCST). In case of graphene/PNIPAM conjugate, LCST of graphene/PNIPAM assembly (up to 42 oC) is higher than LCST of pure PNIPAM (36 oC) because interacting PNIPAM chains on graphene plates are less mobile than free PNIPAM chains. The success of PNIPAM as stabilizer for reduced graphene solution can be explained by both efficient hydrophobic interaction with graphene surface and matching of surface tension of water (72.8 mJ/m2) with ‘graphene friendly surface tension’ (40~50 mJ/m2) by the addition of PNIPAM in water (41.8 mJ/m2).
