Graphene Oxide and Its Applications

Graphene Oxide Powder (2-5 Layer, Dia:7,5 um, SA: 420 m2/gr)  is a two dimensional material. It is the oxidized form of graphene, with O functional groups decorating the sp 2  C basal plane. Due to the presence of the oxygen functional groups, graphene oxide is also hydrophilic and it can be dispersed in water solution, contrary to graphene which is hydrophobic. So this property of graphene oxide is very important when mixing the material with ceramic or polymer matrixes when trying to improve their electrical and mechanical properties. The size of the  graphene oxide  flakes can be also tuned and varied from a few nm to mm. The tunability of both its chemical composition and flakes size makes graphene oxide an appealing material in many fields: electronics (sensors and transparent conductive films), composites materials, clean energy devices, biology and medicine. Graphene oxide has an extremely high surface area; therefore, these materials are considered for usa...
