Abstract

In the present study, reduced graphene oxide (rGO) has been synthesized by the Hummers method. The synthesized product was studied by X-ray diffraction, high-resolution scanning electron microscopy (HR-SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy. Nanosuspensions with different concentrations have been prepared by dispersing rGO in ethylene glycol (EG) under continuous ultrasonication. Synthesized nanosuspensions were characterized by UV–Vis spectroscopy and dynamic light scattering (DLS) to confirm the distribution, stability, and size of the rGO particles in EG. Rheological studies have been performed on the nanosuspension at room temperature. This study helps to identify the minimum shear level required to make the nanosuspension flow freely.
