Poly(ethylene disulfide)/graphite nanocomposites

What is it about?

In this paper, thermal degradation results are used to investigate interactions between polysulfide chains and graphite surface. Results revealed that an attractive interaction between polymer macromolecules and graphene surface is responsible for the observed changes in TGA results. Moreover, degradation kinetics of prepared nanocomposites are investigated via tracing activation energy values. This paper represents a clear insight about degradation of polysulfide/graphite nanocomposites.
