▎ 摘　　要

Relying on various defects and functional oxygen-containing groups on the basal planes, graphene oxide (GO) is commonly unitized for intimate mixing with a polymer matrix to fabricate high-performance nanocomposite polymeric materials with the characteristics of graphene. Herein, by introducing GO nanosheets in a phenanthraquinone-doped polymethyl methacrylate (PQ/PMMA) photopolymer, we demonstrate that the polarization holographic diffraction efficiency of nanocomposite materials can be dramatically enhanced up to nearly 10 times and the photosensitivity can also be enhanced by more than 3 times. Experimental observations reveal that the incorporation of GO nanosheets serves as a polymerization initiator not only to promote the polymerization of MMA monomers and induce the drafting behavior of the PMMA polymer on its surface but also to effectively modulate the molecular weight of the PQ/PMMA photopolymer by adjusting the doping concentration of GO nanosheets. The current study, for the first time, demonstrates that the modulation of molecular weight for PQ/PMMA photopolymers here exerts a significant impact on their holography performance. In addition, due to the strong physisorption of PQ photosensitizers onto GO nanosheets, the aggregation of PQ around GO-graft-PMMA also facilitates the formation of GO-graft-PMMA/PQ and is beneficial to the enhancement of holographic performance. The emergence of GO-graft-PMMA/PQ nanocomposite materials here is expected to fulfill the requirement of high-performance polarization-sensitive materials in the field of polarization holographic data storage and provide a facile but effective nanocomposite doping strategy to modulate the holographic performance of photopolymers from micro- and mesoscopic levels.
