It is very interesting that although both CDs and graphene oxide （GO） could he easily decomposed, the effective combination of GO with CDs leads to significantly enhanced thermal stability of graphene derivatives （GO-CDs）. Moreover, the introduction of CDs could dramatically improve the dispersibility promotion of our products in both polar/protic and nonpolar/aprotic solvents, which will contribute to the preparation of polymer nanocomposites and increase of their thermal stability. The improved thermal degradation temperatures can be obtained for polyvinyl alcohol after filling with as little as 1 wt.% of the hybrid. The obtained products could be potentially used in heat-retardant or thermal-control materials.展开更多
