Industrial Graphene Oxide Dispersion

 

The oxygen-containing functional groups (e.g., hydroxyl, epoxy, and carboxyl) on the surface of graphene oxide flakes render them hydrophilic, allowing them to disperse easily in water and other solvents. This property is critical for processes that require uniform mixing and stable dispersions, such as coating and composite material fabrication. The concentration of graphene oxide in the dispersion can be easily adjusted to control the viscosity and other physical properties of the dispersion, facilitating its application in different contexts, such as ink formulation for printed electronics or as a binder/thickener in composite materials.The presence of reactive oxygen-containing groups on GO makes it possible to chemically modify or functionalize the material in dispersion form. This allows for the tailoring of its properties to meet specific application needs, including improving compatibility with polymers, enhancing electrical conductivity, or attaching biomolecules for biomedical applications.Even in dispersion, the high specific surface area of GO flakes is maintained, making them effective for applications requiring high surface contact, such as catalysis, adsorption, and sensor development.
