Abstract

The study was focused to evaluate the possibility for combination membrane of bacterial cellulose (BC) and graphene with high electrical properties. BC with natural polymer matrix was known to have strong physical strength. For the combination of graphene with BC, the surface of graphene was modified with oxygen plasma by changing strength and time of radio waves in room temperature. Water contact angle of modified graphene grew smaller from $130^{\circ}$ to $12^{\circ}$. XPS analysis showed that oxygen content after treatment increased from 2.99 to 10.98%. Damage degree of graphene was examined from $I_D/I_G$ ratio of Raman analysis. $I_D/I_G$ ratio of non-treated graphene (NTG) was 0.11, and 0.36 to 0.43 in plasma treated graphene (PTG), increasing structural defects of PTG. XRD analysis of PTG membrane with BC was $2{\theta}$ same to BC only, indicating chemically combined membrane. In FT-IR analysis, 1,000 to 1,300 $cm^{-1}$ (C=O) peak indicating oxygen radicals in PTG membrane had formed was larger than NTG membrane. The results suggest that BC as an alternation of plastic material for graphene combination has a possibility in some degree on the part like transparent conductive films.

본 연구에서는 물리적 강도가 강한 천연 고분자인 박테리아 셀룰로오스(BC)를 기반으로 전기적 성질이 매우 뛰어난 그래핀을 결합시켜 터치 스크린과 같은 투명 전도성 필름을 제조할 수 있는 가능성을 확인하고자 한다. 그래핀을 BC와 결합하기 위해서 라디오파의 인가강도와 처리시간을 달리하여 상온에서 산소 플라즈마 처리를 통해 표면을 개질시켰다. 개질된 그래핀의 물에 대한 접촉각이 $130^{\circ}$에서 $12^{\circ}$로 매우 작아진 것으로 친수성이 향상되었다. 또한, XPS분석에서는 graphene 처리 전 산소함유량 2.99%에서 10.98%로 크게 증가하였다. 그래핀의 손상은 Raman 분석에서 $I_D/I_G$ 비로 정도를 알 수 있다. 처리 전 $I_D/I_G$ 비가 0.11로 손상 정도가 가장 낮았고, 처리 후 0.36~0.43으로 처리 전에 비해 그래핀의 구조적 결함이 증가하였다. 용해시킨 BC에 그래핀을 0~0.04 wt% 첨가하여 제조한 막의 XRD 분석에 의하면 BC막과 plasma 처리된 graphene이 함유된 결합막이 동일한 $2{\theta}$로서 화학적으로 잘 결합되었음을 확인하였다. 이는 SEM 이미지에서 BC와 그래핀의 결합 상태를 확인한 것과 일치하였다. FT-IR 분석에서 플라즈마 처리한 그래핀이 함유된 결합막의 1,000~1,300 $cm^{-1}$ (C=O)에서의 피크가 커진 것으로 보아 plasma 처리된 graphene에서 산소기가 생성되었음을 알 수 있었다. 이와 같은 결과로부터 BC의 물리적인 강점을 기반으로 하여 그래핀을 결합시킨다면 신규의 투명 전도성 소재를 개발할 수 있으리라 사료된다.
