Preparation and Perfomance of an Aging-Resistant Nanocomposite Film of Binary Natural Polymer-Graphene Oxide.

ABSTRACT: As one of the materials having a bionic structure, nacrelike layered composites, inspired by their natural hybrid structures, have been studied via a variety of approaches. Graphene oxide (GO), which differed from inert graphene, was used as a new building block because it could be readily chemically functionalized. Rather than natural polymers, synthetic polymers were most commonly used to fabricate nacrelike GO-polymer materials. However, naturally occurring polymers complied more easily with the requirements of biocompatibility, biodegradability, and nontoxicity. Here, a simple solution-casting method was used to mimic natural nacre and fabricate a self-assembled and aging-resistant binary natural polymer, (κ-carrageenan (κ-CAR)-Konjac glucomannan (KGM))-GO nanocomposites, with varying
