Popis: The present study is an attempt to improve thermal, mechanical and electrical properties of poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA). For this purpose, vinyltriethoxysilane (VTES) was grafted covalently on the surface of graphene oxide (GO). This VTES functionalized graphene oxide (VGO) was dispersed in the PMMA matrix using the solution casting method. The morphology of the resultant PMMA/VGO nanocomposites was analyzed by SEM indicating well-dispersed VGO in the PMMA matrix. Thermal stability, tensile strength and thermal conductivity increased by 90%, 91% and 75%, respectively, whereas volume electrical resistivity and surface electrical resistivity reduced to 9.45 × 105 Ω/cm and 5.45 × 107 Ω/cm2, respectively.
