The thermal reduction of GO is the most commonly used strategy for preparation of rGO, and the oxidation degree of GO would influence the chemical structure of prepared rGO, thereby affecting its physical and chemical properties.

Nanocomposites of hyperbranched polymers with graphitic materials are investigated with respect to their structure and thermal properties as well as the dynamics of the polymer probing the effect of the different intercalated or exfoliated structure. Three generations of hyperbranched polyester polyols are mixed with graphite oxide (GO) and the favorable interactions between the polymers and the solid surfaces lead to intercalated structure. The thermal transitions of the confined chains are suppressed, whereas their dynamics show similarities and differences with the dynamics of the neat polymers. The three relaxation processes observed for the neat polymers are observed in the nanohybrids as well, but with different temperature dependencies. Thermal reduction of the graphite oxide in the presence of the polymer to produce reduced graphite oxide (rGO) reveals an increase in the reduction temperature, which is accompanied by decreased thermal stability of the polymer. The de-oxygenation of the graphite oxide leads to the destruction of the intercalated structure and to the dispersion of the rGO layers within the polymeric matrix because of the modification of the interactions between the polymer chains and the surfaces. A significant increase in the conductivity of the resulting nanocomposites, in comparison to both the polymers and the intercalated nanohybrids, indicates the formation of a percolated rGO network.

A series of selectively reduced graphite oxide was prepared by thermal reduction of graphite oxide at different annealing temperatures and used as fillers to enhance thermal conductivity of epoxy composites. The reduction degree of selectively reduced graphite oxide increases with annealing temperature changing from 600℃ to 1000℃. The out-of-plane thermal conductivity ( Κo) of selectively reduced graphite oxide/epoxy composites is remarkably higher than that of graphite oxide/epoxy. For the selectively reduced graphite oxide obtained at 1000℃, Κo reaches 0.674 W/m·K when filler content is 5.4 wt%, which is 450% of pure epoxy. The enhanced Κo can be attributed to the better dispersion of selectively reduced graphite oxide in epoxy and their edges overlap to form effective thermal conductive paths in epoxy matrix. However, the achieved thermal conductivity enhancement is still comparatively lower than that of selectively reduced graphite oxide with higher reduction degree, since the interfacial bonding strength between selectively reduced graphite oxide and epoxy decreases when reduction degree of selectively reduced graphite oxide flakes becomes higher.
