Effect of graphene oxide additive on the structure of composite cellulose fibers

Abstract

The paper presents results of investigations on the effect of the addition of graphene oxide (GO) on the structural properties of composite cellulose fibers (CEL). GO/CEL fibers were obtained from a solution of CEL in ionic liquid – 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazole acetate – with the addition of GO dispersion in DMF. A classic wet spinning method was used using water and methanol as coagulants. Results have shown that the addition of GO increases the crystallinity of fibers to 31–40.8%. Moreover, these results indicate a significant impact of the coagulant used in the fiber forming process. Methanol coagulated fibers have greater porosity and larger pore sizes than water coagulated fibers.
