Graphene oxide (GO) was incorporated into polyamide-11 (PA11) via in-situ polymerization. The GO-PA11 nano-composite had elevated resistance to hydrolytic degradation. At a loading of 1 mg/g, GO to PA11, the accelerated aging equilibrium molecular weight of GO-PA11 was higher (33 and 34 kDa at 100 and 120 °C, respectively) compared to neat PA11 (23 and 24 kDa at 100 and 120 °C, respectively). Neat PA11 had hydrolysis rate constants (k<sub>H</sub>) of 2.8 and 12 (×10<sup>-2</sup> day<sup>-1</sup> ...[more]
