Reduced graphene oxide (RGEO) and N-[4-(chlorocarbonyl)phenyl]maleimide-functionalized reduced graphene oxide (MFRGEO) were used as nanofillers for polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) matrix nanocomposites to enhance thermal stability. Methyl methacrylate containing nanofiller of four different weight percent (0.2, 0.4, 0.6, and 0.8) was polymerized using ultrasonic radiation-assisted bulk polymerization. The Fourier-transform infrared spectra showed the absence of chemical interaction between the filler and the matrix phase. Morphology of nanocomposites studied using scanning electron microscope confirmed the assistance aided by ultrasonication in the uniform dispersion of nanofiller in the PMMA matrix. Thermogravimetric (TG) study revealed the presence of MFRGEO enhanced the thermal stability of PMMA by shifting the entire degradation to higher temperature. The thermal stability of PMMA nanocomposite was improved by as much as 40°C at just 0.8 wt% loading of MFRGEO. Differential TG study also supported the role of maleimide functionalization on RGEO in the enhancement of thermal stability of PMMA by means of retarding the degradation rate of unsaturated chain ends in the PMMA matrix. Unlike MFRGEO, RGEO failed to enhance the thermal stability of PMMA.

Calcium alginate (CaAlg) is a kind of biodegradable and eco-friendly functional material, and CaAlg/reduced graphene oxide (rGO) composites are expected to be applied as new textile, heat-generating, and flame-retardant materials. In this paper, the CaAlg/rGO composites were prepared by a sol-gel method and their morphological and thermal properties were studied. The results showed that the introduction of rGO can efficiently improve the thermal stability of CaAlg. Further study showed that rGO increased the carbon formation rate by 4.1%, indicating that the thermal stability was improved by the promotion of carbon formation. Moreover, the weight loss rate of the composites was faster at 180–200 °C than that of CaAlg, after which the rate was less comparatively, suggesting the better thermal stability of the composite. This maybe because the high heat transfer efficiency of rGO allowed the material to reach the temperature of the thermal decomposition of the glycan molecule chain within a short time, and then promoted carbon formation. The thermal cracking mechanism of the composites is proposed based on the experimental data.
