Abstract
A custom-made surfactant called sodium 1,4-bis(neopentyloxy)-3-(neopentyloxycarbonyl)-1,4-dioxobutane-2-sulfonate (TC14) was used to assist the dispersion of graphene oxide/natural rubber latex (GO/NRL) nanocomposites by the one-step method. \NRL\ was intermixed in the electrolyte during the electrochemical exfoliation of the produced GO. The conductivity of the sample was measured by using a four-point probe measurement and was found to be 2.65
