Dispersion of Graphene Oxide in Ethylene Glycol and 2-Propanol: article

The dispersion of Grapene Oxide (GO) has been study in order to investigate the effect of time sonicating on the dispersion of GO in the ethylene glycol and 2-propanol. Besides, this experiment is also done to study the stability of the disperse GO in both solvents after a week. Poor stability of GO has become major problem during the dispersion of GO. In order to overcome this problem a study has been introduce which is dispersion of graphene oxide in solvents. In this study, the ethylene glycol and 2-propanol have been used as a solvent for the dispersion of GO. The focus of this research are on the dispersion behavior of GO when sonicate at different time (1 and 2 hour) and also on the stability of GO after been dispersed into both solvents after a week. The stability of GO in both solvents are studied by comparing with the stability of disperse GO in the water. Ethylene Glycol is a good solvent for dispersion of GO while the 2 -propanol is not suitable for the dispersion of GO by comparing to water.
