▎ 摘  要

Graphene, a single layer of carbon atoms in a two-dimensional lattice, has attracted considerable attention owing to its unique physical, chemical and mechanical properties. In particular, because of its excellent thermal properties such as high thermal conductivity and good thermal stability, graphene has been regarded as a one of the promising candidates for the reinforcing fillers on the polymer composites field. In this study, we prepared the poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA)/graphene oxide (GO) nanocomposite by a simple solution mixing process, and examined the thermal reinforcing effects of GO on a PMMA matrix. Using thermogravimetric analysis, differential scanning calorimeter, and thermal conductivity meter, we investigated the effects of GO on the thermal properties of PMMA/GO nanocomposites. With 3 wt% of GO loading, the glass transition temperature (T-g) of the PMMA/GO nanocomposite were increased by more than 7 degrees C and the thermal conductivity of which also improved 1.8 times compared to pure PMMA.
