Conductive Coatings Based on Polyvinyl Alcohol and Graphene Oxide

Abstract

Thin conductive films have been obtained via dehydration and reduction of composite films based on polyvinyl alcohol and graphene oxide. Composition and structure of the nanocomposites as well as the features of heat-induced reduction and electroconductive properties of the products have been analyzed. It has been shown that dehydration of polyvinyl alcohol leads to the formation of additional contacts between the filler particles and significantly enhances the conductivity.
