▎ 摘 要
Natural graphite flakes were intercalated with strong oxidizing agents and were converted into thermally expanded graphite (TEG) through thermal exfoliation. Thermally expanded graphite was delaminated and transformed into graphene nanoplatelets (GNP) by using ultrasonic irradiation. GNP integrated polyaniline (PANi) nanocomposites were synthesized via in-situ polymerization of aniline monomers in the presence of GNP. The structure and morphology of composite was evidenced by scanning electron microscopy, Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy. TEM micrographs revealed that GNP consists of 20-25 graphene layers and PANi was uniformly coated on GNP. From Raman analysis it was showed significant interactions between GNP and polyaniline. Electrical conductivity was measured by using 4-point probe device, enhanced conductivity was obtained for composite. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
