▎ 摘  要

Thermal exfoliation and reduction of graphene oxide (GO) were performed to prepare graphene nanosheets at 300 degrees C under the ambient atmosphere without any supplementary conditions. The microstructure and morphology of the resulting graphene nanosheets were characterized with scanning electron microscopy, transmission electric microscopy, atomic force microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The composite films based on poly(1-butene) (PB) and graphene nanosheets were prepared successfully through solution blending and compression molding. The morphological investigation suggested that the graphene nanosheets with nanoscale thickness achieved a homogeneous dispersion in the PB matrix. The composite films exhibited a sharp transition from insulating state to the conducting one with a low percolation threshold, followed by a high electrical conductivity at graphene content higher than 1.6 vol %. The composite films also achieved high dielectric constant with low dielectric loss due to the effective electrical conductive path established by graphene nanosheets in a local range. Moreover, the mechanical evaluation demonstrated that a considerable reinforcement was achieved for the composite films due to the strong interfaces between the graphene nanosheets and PB matrix. The introduction of graphene nanosheets not only enhanced the nucleation capability and crystallinity of PB domain but also improved the thermal stability of the composite films. In addition, the composite films showed an increase in storage modulus and a decrease in loss factors due to the incorporation of graphene nanosheets.
