Silicone‐modified graphene oxide fillers via the Piers‐Rubinsztajn reaction

While graphene or graphene oxide can make significant improvements in the properties of a wide variety of polymeric materials, their incorporation can be challenged by incompatibility with the polymeric matrix. The modification of graphene oxide with silicones or silanes using the Piers‐Rubinsztajn reaction improves dispersibility in nonpolar materials, including organic solvents and silicone pre‐elastomers. A high loading (up to 10 wt %) of …
