Abstract

A simple method for producing a film of graphene oxide is described. The polymer film obtained was studied by transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction analysis, elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, and Raman spectroscopy. The results show that graphene oxide flakes are macromolecules that contain hydrogen bonds and are connected by van der Waals interactions. Thus, graphene oxide can be considered as an analogue of water-soluble polymers and has the characteristic properties of a polymer (tensile strength 17–18 MPa, flexibility, redispersibility).
