Functionalized graphene oxide (FGO) was produced by reacting graphene oxide nanosheets with vinyl trimethoxy silane (VTMS). The results confirmed the attachment of VTMS molecules to the surface of GO sheets by Si-O-C bonding. The introduction of VTMS molecules led to an excellent dispersibility in tetrahydrofuran and to the complete exfoliation of FGO with a thickness of about 1.19 nm. Meanwhile, FGO/silicone polymer composites were prepared by solution blending method. The incorporation of 0.5 wt% of FGO in silicone polymer improved remarkably the thermal stability, tensile strength, and thermal conductivity of the silicone polymer composite, due to the homogeneous dispersion of FGO in the composites as well as to the strong interfacial adhesion with silicone polymer matrix. Tensile strength and thermal conductivity of the FGO/silicone polymer composite were increased by 95.6 and 78.3 %, respectively, with the addition of 0.5 wt% FGO. The 5 % weight loss temperature of the composite at 0.5 wt% FGO loading was detected 26.1 A degrees C higher than that of silicone polymer.
