▎ 摘  要

The interfacial assembly of graphene oxide (GO) at the water/oil interface and its kinetics were systematically studied. GO nanosheets were found to segregate to the water/oil interface and interact with quaternized block copolymer chains by the peripheral carboxyl groups on the GO. If the interfacial area is decreased, then GO, assembled at and confined to the interface, jams and then buckles. An analysis of the kinetics of the assembly processes leads to the conclusion that the diffusion of GO to the interface is the rate-determining step. The morphology of the jammed GO film was investigated, and TEM images show that GO sheets form a mosaic or tile across the whole oil/water interface.
