Ionic Liquid-Graphene Oxide for Strengthening Microwave Curing Epoxy Composites

The challenge for fully exerting the excellent nature of graphene oxide (GO) within polymer composites was to realize its uniform dispersion and strong interfacial bonding in the polymer matrix through an efficient surface reduction approach. In this work, via the in situ activation effect of microwaves (MWs), a butyl glycidyl ether-modified ionic liquid (BIL)-GO hybrid was successfully synthesized at an ultrafast speed by introducing BIL into...
