Abstract

A facile approach for the fabrication of chemically-modified reduced graphene oxide (RGO) based multilayer films was developed for gas barrier applications. Polyethyleneimine (PEI) and poly(sodium 4-styrenesulfonate) (PSS) were utilized as surface modifiers to yield water-dispersible RGO with opposite charges. Altering the deposition pH of PEI-RGO layer resulted in different phase morphology and bonding of the multilayer films. PEI-RGO and PSS-RGO were assembled into multilayer films via a layer-by-layer (LbL) assembly method through electrostatic and hydrogen bonding interactions, respectively. The LBL assembly of polymer-decorated RGO based multilayer films were characterized by various characterization techniques. Hydrogen gas transmission rate (H₂GTR) of the hydrogen bonding interaction based LbL film with 24 bilayers was 5.8 cc/m²·d·atm; and H₂GTR value was 46.2 cc/m²·d·atm for the corresponding LbL film based on electrostatic interactions. Hydrogen bonding interaction based multilayer films exhibited very low H₂GTR values compared to electrostatic interaction based multilayer and bare polyethylene terephthalate films.
