RESUMO

The functionalization of graphene oxide with organosilanes is an important strategy to yield graphene-silica composites as well as to create nanomaterials for use as reinforcement in polymer nanocomposites and corrosion-inhibiting coatings for metals, among other uses. However, depending on the reaction conditions used, the organosilanes tend to self-condense, encapsulating the graphene oxide in a silica-like layer which can impair its properties by hiding its real surface and two-dimensionality. In this paper we describe a facile route for the functionalization of commercial graphene oxide with (3-aminopropyl) triethoxysilane using low concentrations and mild reaction conditions, and yielding amine and silanol surface-modified graphene nanohybrids while preserving its two-dimensional characteristics. The material obtained was characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), potentiometric titration, thermogravimetric analysis and electronic microscopy, evidencing the covalent and superficial nature of the functionalization.
