Interfacial complexation driven three-dimensional assembly of cationic phosphorus dendrimers and graphene oxide sheets

Abstract

High content nitrogen, sulfur and phosphorus heteroatoms assembled in tree-like dendrimers (DGn) are confined within the galleries of two-dimensional graphene oxide (GO). The presence of the ternary diethyl-N-ethyl-ammonium groups on the dendrimer peripheries ensures the exfoliation of graphene sheets thereby affording interfacially bridged, three-dimensional heteroatom-enriched graphene-based hybrid nanostructures (DGn-GO). Dendrimer generation (from 1 to 4) that reflects the bulkiness of these conceived nano-trees impacts increasingly the degree of dispersion-exfoliation and sheet desordering. The long-term stability of these aqueous suspensions associated with their handling flexibility allows uniform accommodation of the resulting hybrid materials as flame-retardants in bioplastics.
