    This document summarizes Titty's presentation on graphene. It discusses choosing the appropriate graphite starting material based on factors like grain size, purity, and carbon content. It describes using the modified Hummer's method to produce graphene oxide and an in-house reduction method to produce reduced graphene oxide. XRD and FTIR analysis show the changes between graphite, graphene oxide, and reduced graphene oxide. Reduced graphene oxide is preferable due to having less oxygen, requiring less scavenger and reduction of catalyst poisoning. The document questions how reduced graphene oxide may influence the mechanochemical response of polymers.

    Why reduced graphene oxide?


    - Less oxygen within reaction environment
    - Less scavenger used (MAO)
    - Less probability of catalyst poisoning
    - Higher polymerization ratio with grafted allylic chains
    - Reduction process increase the exfoliation yield

    Nevertheless .
    How can reduced graphene oxide influence the
    polymers mechanochemical response?
