▎ 摘　　要

In the present study, nanocomposites films formed by hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC) and graphene oxide (GO) were synthesized and characterized. Compared with pure hydroxyethyl cellulose film, the thermal stability and mechanical properties of the composite materials were significantly improved. When the graphene loading was only 1.0 wt%, the maximum weight loss temperature increased 11.14 degrees C. The tensile strength and Young's modulus of HEC/GO nanocomposites films were increased by 30.28 and 75.63 % compared to the pure HEC films, with only 1.0 wt% GO. The X-ray diffraction and Fouriertransform infrared spectroscop showed that GO sheets were completely exfoliated in the HEC matrix and suggested the presence of the weak interaction between HEC and GO sheets because of large number of oxygen containing hydrophilic functional groups on the surface and edge of GO sheets. Furthermore, the well-dispersed GO nanosheets in the films can be inferred from the SEM and Halpin-Tsai model analysis. On the other hand, the composite films showed improved bather properties against oxygen. This simple process for preparation of HEC/GO films is attractive for potential development of high-performance films for packing applications.
