Graphite Polystyrenesulfonate Composite Material

Abstract:

A composite material of graphite/polystyrene sulfonate was prepared by solvothermal method. The dissolution of polystyrene sulfonate in water ensures homogeneous distributions of graphite and creates composition material at room temperatures. Water removing by the drying, permit to prepare films. Structure of the film was analyzed by scanning electron microscopy. The influence of different ratio between graphite and polystyrene sulfonate is discussed.
