  • Patent number: 10253155
    Abstract: The present invention concerns a method for obtaining polyaniline/reduced graphene oxide composites comprising the steps of dispersing the graphene oxide in an acid aqueous solution containing an emulsifying agent to obtain a graphene oxide dispersion; dissolving one or more aniline oligomers in an organic solvent to obtain an oligomer solution; mixing the oligomer solution with the graphene oxide dispersion, said oligomer being added in a stoichiometric excess compared to the quantity required to complete the graphene oxide reduction; adding to the suspension of the polyaniline/reduced graphene oxide composite an oxidizing agent in a stoichiometric quantity compared to said excess of oligomer so as to oxidize the excess of said oligomer to obtain a suspension of the polyaniline/reduced graphene oxide composite.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10087335
    Abstract: Methods for obtaining composites of polyaniline and reduced graphene oxide are disclosed. The methods include dispersing graphene oxide in an acid aqueous solution containing an anionic emulsifying agent to obtain a dispersion of the graphene oxide, dissolving an aniline oligomer in an organic solvent to obtain a solution of the oligomer, and mixing the solution of the oligomer with the dispersion of graphene oxide to obtain a composite of polyaniline and reduced graphene oxide. The methods may also include recovering a precipitate of the polyaniline/reduced graphene oxide composite, and dissolving the precipitate in an organic solvent to form a conductive ink or an ink for electronic devices.
