Effect of graphene oxide on the thermal properties of bovine hide powders

Content:
Graphene oxide (GO) is one of the most interesting nanomaterials in recent years. In order to explore its potential application in leather making process, a study on evaluating the effects of GO on the thermal
stability and decomposition kinetics of bovine hide powders (HP) was performed by thermogravimetry. It was shown that the GO-doped hide powders (GO-HP) exhibit better thermal stability than those of raw hide powders. The kinetic and mechanism analysis of the decomposition stage used an integrated procedure involving model-free methods and universal master-plots method. Various methods were employed to calculate the activation energy of the fibers, including the Flynn-Wall-Ozawa (FWO), Modified Kissinger-Akahira-Sunose (MKAS) and Friedman methods. The activation energy values of GO-HP and raw hide powder were found to be 240.5 and 184.7 kJ/mol, respectively. Comparison of the experimental and theoretical master plots of various reaction mechanisms showed that when the conversion values are below 0.5, the most probable decomposition mechanism for HP and GO-HP is D1. Above 0.5, the decomposition mechanisms of HP and GO-HP are most probably described by A3 and R3 models,
respectively.
