Abstract
ABSTRACTGraphene oxide (GO), as an important precursor of graphene, was functionalized using alkyl‐amines with different structure and then reduced to prepare reduced amines grafted graphene oxide (RAGOs) by N2H4 · H2O. The successful chemical amidation reaction between amine groups of alkyl‐amines and carboxyl groups of GO was confirmed by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA). Then RAGOs/polyimide nanocomposites were prepared via in situ polymerization and thermal curing process with different loadings of RAGOs. The modification of amine chains lead to homogenous dispersion of RAGOs in the composites and it formed strong interfacial adhesion between RAGOs and the polymer matrix. The mechanical and electrical properties of polyimide (PI) were significantly improved by incorporation of a small amount of RAGOs, the influence of structure of amines grafted on RAGOs on the enhancement effects of composites was discussed. The research results indicated that the proper structure of amine could effectively enhance the properties of composites. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym. Sci. 2016, 133, 43820.
