Abstract

The derivative graphene oxide (GO) is made of graphene, which is a layer of carbon atoms organized in a hexagonal lattice that is one atom thick. Graphene oxide possess remarkable properties like high surface area, excellent mechanical strength, and electrical conductivity, making GO a material of interest for a wide range of applications. The synthesis of nano graphene oxide (nGO) involves oxidation that introduce oxygen functional groups onto the surface of the graphene sheet, making it dispersible in water and other solvents. This review article will provide an in-depth exploration of the various methods for synthesizing nano graphene oxide, the characterization techniques used to analyse its properties, and its potential applications in thermoplastics. The focus will be on how nano graphene oxide can be integrated into thermoplastics to enhance their mechanical, electrical, and thermal properties, thus opening new opportunities for their use in various industries.
