Effect of Graphite Nanosheets on Properties of Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) by Larissa Stieven Montagna, Thaís Larissa do Amaral Montanheiro, João Paulo Barros Machado, Fábio Roberto Passador, Ana Paula Lemes, Mirabel Cerqueira Rezende

“…GNS were prepared by three steps: intercalation (chemical exfoliation), expansion (thermal treatment), and the GNS obtainment (physical treatment by ultrasonic exfoliation). X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, and field emission gun-scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) showed that the physical, chemical, and thermal treatments preserved the graphite sheets structure. …”
