3-Hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid hydrazide (HNH), a new reductant and modifier, was applied to reduce and modify graphene oxide (GO) in a one-step process. The obtained HNH reduced graphene oxide (HNH-rGO) was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), Raman spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopic (XPS) and Fourier transform infrared spectra (FTIR). The results demonstrated that GO was successfully reduced to graphene and the surface of HNH-rGO was grafted with HNH. The interlayer space was increased from 0.751 nm to 1.921 nm, and its agglomeration was much more attenuated compared with GO. HNH-rGO/polypropylene and graphene/polypropylene composites were synthesized through melt-blending method. The viscosity was enhanced with increased addition of graphene and surface modified graphene demonstrated stronger rheological behavior improving effect than the untreated graphene.
