Journal ArticleDOI
Functionalized Single Graphene Sheets Derived from Splitting Graphite Oxide
Hannes C. Schniepp,Je-Luen Li,Michael J. McAllister,Hiroaki Sai,Margarita Herrera-Alonso,Douglas H. Adamson,Robert K. Prud'homme,Roberto Car,Dudley A. Saville,Ilhan A. Aksay +9 more
TL;DR: The process yields a wrinkled sheet structure resulting from reaction sites involved in oxidation and reduction processes, and functionalized graphene produced by this method is electrically conducting.
Journal ArticleDOI
Single Sheet Functionalized Graphene by Oxidation and Thermal Expansion of Graphite
Michael J. McAllister,Je-Luen Li,Douglas H. Adamson,Hannes C. Schniepp,Ahmed Abdala,Jun-Jun Liu,Margarita Herrera-Alonso,David L. Milius,Roberto Car,Robert K. Prud'homme,Ilhan A. Aksay +10 more
TL;DR: In this article, a detailed analysis of the thermal expansion mechanism of graphite oxide to produce functionalized graphene sheets is provided, where it is shown that the decomposition rate of the epoxy and hydroxyl sites exceeds the diffusion rate of evolved gases, yielding pressures that exceed the van der Waals forces holding the graphene sheets together.
Journal ArticleDOI
Functionalized graphene sheets for polymer nanocomposites
T. Ramanathan,Ahmed Abdala,Ahmed Abdala,Sasha Stankovich,Dmitriy A. Dikin,Margarita Herrera-Alonso,Richard D. Piner,Richard D. Piner,Douglas H. Adamson,Hannes C. Schniepp,Xinqi Chen,Rodney S. Ruoff,Rodney S. Ruoff,SonBinh T. Nguyen,Ilhan A. Aksay,Robert K. Prud'homme,L. C. Brinson +16 more
TL;DR: Modulus, ultimate strength and thermal stability follow a similar trend, with values for functionalized graphene sheet- poly(methyl methacrylate) rivaling those for single-walled carbon nanotube-poly(methyl methamphetamine) composites.

Journal ArticleDOI
Intercalation and stitching of graphite oxide with diaminoalkanes.
Margarita Herrera-Alonso,Ahmed Abdala,Michael J. McAllister,Ilhan A. Aksay,Robert K. Prud'homme +4 more
TL;DR: The intercalation reaction of graphite oxide with diaminoalkanes with the general formula H2N(CH2)nNH2 (n = 4-10) was studied as a method for synthesizing pillared graphite with tailored interlayer spacing and resulted in the chemical reduction of the graphiteoxide to a disordered graphitic structure.
