Effect of Graphite oxide and Graphene on the Preparation and Morphology of Novolac based Nanocomposites

In this article Bisphenole A Novolac (Bis-AN)/graphene (Gr) nanocomposites were prepared via insitupolymerization of Bisphenol A monomer in the presence of graphite oxide (GO), followed by in-situ chemicalreduction of GO using hydrazine monohydrate. The synthesized samples were characterized by Fourier Transforminfrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM). FTIR resultsdemonstrated that Bis-AN resin successfully synthesized in the presence of GO and also hydrazine monohydrate insitu reduced graphite oxide to graphene. XRD pattern of nanocomposites and direct morphological observations usingTEM analysis indicated that graphene nanosheets homogeneously dispersed within the Bis-AN matrix.
