Modified graphite oxide (MGO)/Poly (propylene carbonate) (PPC) composites with excellent thermal and mechanical properties have been prepared via a facile solution intercalation method. An intercalated structure of MGO/PPC composites was confirmed by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscope. The thermal and mechanical properties of MGO/PPC composites were investigated by thermal gravimetric analysis, differential scanning calorimetric, dynamic mechanical analysis, and electronic tensile tester. Due to the nanometer-sized dispersion of layered graphite in PPC matrix and the strong interfacial interaction between MGO and PPC, the prepared MGO/PPC composites exhibit improved thermal and mechanical properties in comparison with pure PPC. Compared with pure PPC, the MGO/PPC composites show the highest thermal stability and the Tg is 13.8 °C higher than that of pure PPC, while the tensile strength (29.51 MPa) shows about 2 times higher than that of pure PPC when only 3.0 wt.% MGO is incorporated. These results indicate that this approach is an efficient method to improve the properties of PPC.
