The antioxidative effect of chemically reduced graphene oxide (rGO) on the thermal-oxidative stability of polypropylene (PP) was evaluated by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). rGO was prepared by reduction of graphene oxide (GO) and characterized by atomic force microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. PP/rGO nanocomposites were then prepared without using a compatibilizer by melt blending. It was found that the thermal-oxidative degradation of PP was retarded noticeably by the rGO. The stabilization mechanism of rGO was discussed in terms of the changes in carbonyl bands and oxygen diffusion. It was proposed that the improved thermal-oxidation stability of PP/rGO nanocomposites can be attributed to the decline in both the concentration of peroxy radicals and oxygen permeability. The acceptor-like electronic property afforded by the long conjugated CC bonds and the barrier effect of rGO were suggested to be responsible for the improved thermal-oxidation stability of PP.

Journal of Materials Chemistry A

Journal of Materials Chemistry A, B & C cover high quality studies across all fields of materials chemistry. The journals focus on those theoretical or experimental studies that report new understanding, applications, properties and synthesis of materials. The journals have a strong history of publishing quality reports of interest to interdisciplinary communities and providing an efficient and rigorous service through peer review and publication. The journals are led by an international team of Editors-in-Chief and Associate Editors who are all active researchers in their fields. Journal of Materials Chemistry A, B & C are separated by the intended application of the material studied. Broadly, applications in energy and sustainability are of interest to Journal of Materials Chemistry A, applications in biology and medicine are of interest to Journal of Materials Chemistry B, and applications in optical, magnetic and electronic devices are of interest to Journal of Materials Chemistry C. More than one Journal of Materials Chemistry journal may be suitable for certain fields and researchers are encouraged to submit their paper to the journal that they feel best fits for their particular article. Example topic areas within the scope of Journal of Materials Chemistry A are listed below. This list is neither exhaustive nor exclusive.
