Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) was grafted on graphene nanosheets (GN) in the reduction of graphene oxide with hydrazine hydrate. The obtained GN-PVA (GP) suspension was treated with the freezing–thawing cycle to fabricate 3D porous monolithic GP materials, which were modified with carbon disulfide to introduce xanthan groups on the wall of porous materials, marked as GPCs. The characterization of GPCs confirmed that PVA was attached on the surface of GNs, and xanthan groups were effectively functionalized on the porous structures, which were composed of randomly oriented GNs. The Pb[Formula: see text] adsorption pattern for GPC materials was investigated. The kinetic adsorption and isotherm data fit the pseudo second-order kinetic and the Langmuir isotherm models, respectively. The maximum adsorption capacity of Pb[Formula: see text] reached 242.7[Formula: see text]mg/g. And GPCs for Pb[Formula: see text] adsorption could be regenerated with ethylenediamine tetracetic acid (EDTA) solution for repetitious adsorption.

Polyurethane Composites

Graphene nanosheets/polyurethane (GNS/PU) was prepared in situ by polymerization technique for the manufacture of PU safety shoes soles. The graphene nanosheets/polyurethane composites were characterized for their mechanical properties, thermal conductivity and abrasion resistance, and comparison is made with those of the neat polyurethane. The microstructural properties of GNS/PU were characterized by SEM. The results show that with the increase of the amount of graphene within the range of weight-percentages analyzed, the tensile strength of the composites gradually increases. The tensile strength of the GNS/PU composites increased to 64.14 MPa with 2 wt% GNS, compared with 55.1 MPa for neat PU. When the graphene sheets reached 2 wt%, the abrasion volume reached 71 mm3. Compared with the pure PU, the wear performance of GNS/PU composites was significantly improved.

Supercapacitor require electrode which has high surface area so that it able to store large amounts of charge. In this study, electrode was synthesized from carbon of Borassus Flabellifer L fiber which was carried out through activation and carbonization processes. Raw material was calcined at 400°C for 4 hours followed by activation with NaOH 1 M. The carbonization was then conducted in Nitrogen gas flowing by temperature variations; 650°C, 750°C, and 850°C with a constant heating rate of 20 °C/min. Based on XRD data, it was shown that the material has formed Reduced graphene Oxide (RGO) which has main peaks at (2θ) 240 and 440 with higher purity in higher temperature. SEM results clarified more pores formation at higher temperature which is mesoporous. Cyclic Voltammetry (CV) test was done to determine the capacitance value. By RGO forming with high porosity, it is suitable for supercapacitor electrode application and CV test has examined that heating of Borassus Flabelifer L fiber at 850°C with 5 mV/s scan rate has the highest specific capacitance by 8.25 F/gram with Energy density is 4.125 watt/gram.
