The thermal and electrical conductivity and mechanical properties of polyetherimide (PEI) containing either alkyl-aminated (enGO) or phenyl-aminated graphene (pnGO) oxides were studied. A solution casting method was used to prepare functionalized graphene oxide/PEI composites with different filler contents. The introduction of functionalized graphene oxide to the PEI matrix improved the thermal conductivity, electrical conductivity, and mechanical properties. The thermal conductivities of the enGO 3wt%/PEI and pnGO 3wt%/PEI composites were 0.324W/mK and 0.329W/mK, respectively, due to the high thermal conductivity of the graphene-based materials and the strong interface adhesion due to the filler surface treatment between the fillers and the matrix. The electrical conductivities of the functionalized graphene oxide/PEI composites were larger than that of PEI, but the electrical conductivity values were generally low, which is consistent with the magnitude of the insulator. The strong interfacial adhesion between the fillers and the matrix led to improved mechanical properties. Copyright (c) 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
