Professor Xu-Ming Xie graduated with a B.Eng. degree from Shinshu University, Japan, in 1985. He received his M.Sc. and Ph.D. from the Department of Organic and Polymeric Materials, Tokyo Institute of Technology, Japan, in 1987 and 1990, respectively. He has worked at Tsinghua University since 1992, and has been a full professor since 1999. His current research areas cover structure and properties of multi-polymer systems; confined crystallization and phase separation of polymer systems; polymer-assisted assembly of low-dimensional nanomaterials and their nanocomposites; polymer grafting and modification; and polymer gels and super-absorbent polymers. He has published more than 180 papers in peer-reviewed journals, and owns 16 patents.

Abstract

A simple and cost-effective strategy to create a strong interfacial interaction of coordination bonds in graphene oxide/poly(ethylene oxide) (GO/PEO) nanocomposites by divalent metal ions are demonstrated in this study. The strong interfacial interaction realizes efficient load transfer during the tensile process to significantly improve the mechanical properties of PEO. In addition, the dynamic interfacial interaction of coordination bonds minimizes the elongation loss. This strategy is applicable to a variety of polymer matrices containing coordination atoms, thus opens up a new opportunity for high-performance GO/polymer nanocomposites with significantly improved mechanical properties.
