23. Previously, it was reported that the transmittance of a predominantly oneto two-layer RG-O film prepared by the vacuum filteration method is 95%. In the report, RG-O was prepared by the modified Hummer's method and the number of layers was determined by AFM studies. See ref 10 for detailed information.
24. The covalent bonds might be formed at the interfaces of the aminated substrate, graphene oxide, and aminated MWNT. The epoxy groups of graphene oxide can undergo a ring-opening reaction by primary amine groups of the substrate and/or MWNT. In addition, the annealing of the G-O/MWNT double layer at 125 °C under a nitrogen atmosphere could lead to the formation of amide bonds between carboxylic acid groups of graphene oxide sheet and primary amine groups of the substrate and/or MWNT.
