ABSTRACT
The adsorption of organic polymers onto the surface of graphene oxide is known to improve its dispersibility in cement-based materials. However, the mechanism of this improvement at the atomic level is not yet fully understood. In this study, we employ a combination of DFT static calculation and umbrella sampling to explore the reactivity of polymers and investigate the effects of varying amounts of phenyl groups on their adsorption capacity on the surface of graphene oxide. Quantitative analysis is utilized to study the structural reconstruction and charge transfer caused by polymers from multiple perspectives. The interfacial reaction between the polymer and graphene oxide surface is further clarified, indicating that the adsorption process is promoted by hydrogen bond interactions and π-π stacking effects. This study sheds light on the adsorption mechanism of polymer-graphene oxide systems and has important implications for the design of more effective graphene oxide dispersants at the atomic level.
