In this study, composites of graphite oxide (GO) in poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) were obtained. Obtaining of graphite oxide was performed by two potential methods by literature: modified Hummers method and Staudenmaier method; Then, a secondary GOs obtained heat treatment step at 1000° C was added in order to expand the graphite flakes and remove functional groups attached during the acid attack of graphite. The reinforcement obtained by both methods were characterized by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Raman Spectroscopy, Infra Red Spectroscopy (FTIR), Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), confirming the formation of Graphite Oxide by both methods, and also the expansion of the leaves after the heat treatment. Then, a comparative study of the polymer matrix composites with 1, 3 and 5 % concentration of oxides graphite before the heat treatment and 1 and 3 % after the heat treatment was performed in order to understand the contribution to the rheological properties of the polymer with the addition of GO reinforcement. The composites were obtained by internal mixer, varying the load adding method in the polymeric matrix via mill and via solvent to study the best dispersion of GO in the matrix. The samples were characterized by Gel Permeation Ghromatography (GPC), Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA), Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM); and rheological measurements of Deformation Scan, Time Sweep, and Small Amplitude Oscillatory Shear (SAOS). The rheological results showed an increase in complex viscosity at both Time Sweep, as in SAOS. However, it was not possible to verify the increase of complex viscosity at low frequencies, that would indicate that graphite oxide form a three-dimensional arrangement, which prevents the percolation of the polymer chains, letting them to relax completely.
