Abstract Aquaternized hemicellulose (QH)/chitosan/reduced graphene oxide (rGO) composite film with good mechanical propertyand electrical conductivity was prepared bysolution-casting method. The effects of reduced graphene oxide contents on the structures and properties of the composite films were investigated.The mechanical property and electrical conductivity of the film with rGO containing 0.5 wt.% was reached 102.09 MPa and 12.8 × 10− 2 S/cm, respectively.Under the functions of hydrogen bonds and Van Der Waals forces, three components were combined to obtain QH/CS/rGO composite films with higher thermal stability and conductivity. Due to the compositing of rGO, the composite films showed good UV-blocking properties.This work provided a low-cost and sustainable pathway for the application of high-strength hemicellulose composite films with electrical conductivity and UV resistance in flexible electrode materials.

Carbon nanomaterials have recently attracted wide scientific applications due to their tunable properties. These novel materials act as best fillers that can provide substantial benefits due to their high strength, thermal conductivity, and electrical conductivities. With their huge applications as bulk materials, when implemented in polymer matrix as fillers, they give rise to new promising materials with which their properties can be tuned to suit a particular application. Besides the development of these new nanocomposite materials, there exist some challenges which must be fully surpassed to explore the potentiality of application of carbon-based nanocomposites. Reduced graphene oxide is one of the carbon derivatives which has attracted the current advancement in technology, and recently, it found its new applications in super capacitors used in electronic industries. The limiting factor for its exploration is the affordability. New and affordable sources of these graphene-based nanomaterial have to be devised, for fully realization of their potential applications. In this study, reduced graphene oxide and the bio-polymer chitosan were extracted from the locally available bio waste materials. Nanocomposites were prepared at 50% rGO: chitosan ratio. The films were then prepared by spin coating method. Prepared films were subjected to morphological analysis. From the results, it was observed that rGO induced chitosan crystallization, which led to formation of dendritic structures. Cellulose nanocrystals have thus displayed temperature dependent positive uniaxial birefringence
