A previously unreported nanocomposite (CMC/GO) high-performance film was prepared by a simple solution mixing-evaporation method. The structure, thermal stability, and mechanical properties of the composite films were investigated by wide-angle X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, thermogravimetry analysis, and mechanical testing. The results obtained from these different studies revealed that CMC and graphene oxide were able to form a homogeneous mixture. Compared with pure CMC, the tensile strength and Young's modulus of the graphene-based materials were improved significantly upon incorporation of 1 wt% graphene oxide by 67 +/- A 6 % and 148 +/- A 5 %, respectively. In addition, the DMA composite films also showed a high storage modulus up to 250 A degrees C.
