Problems solved by technology

[0012] However, there is a disadvantage that when the surface of carbon / graphite as described above is modified using high-energy plasma treatment or UV / ozone treatment, oxidation mainly occurs at the edge portion of carbon / graphite, so hydrophilic The modification effect is low, on the contrary, the conjugated network is destroyed (double bonds are converted into single bonds), thereby deteriorating the conductivity

preparation example 1

[0119] Preparation Example 1: Preparation of Copolymer Represented by Formula 1 (Monomer Molar Ratio 3:7)

[0120] Inhibitors were removed from 12.5 ml of polyethylene glycol methyl ether acrylate (PEGMEA) by column chromatography packed with 30 g of basic alumina.

[0121] After adding 20 ml of DMF into a 500 ml two-neck round bottom flask, 7.5 g of purified PEGMEA (Mn=480), 1.7 g of dopamine methacrylamide (DMA) and 106 mg of azobisisobutyronitrile were dissolved in DMF middle. After the reaction mixture was treated with N 2 (Gas) After degassing for 10 minutes, the mixture was stirred at 60° C. for 17 hours. After the reaction was completed, the reaction product was precipitated using 800ml of n-hexane in a 1000ml beaker to obtain a polyDMA-PEGMEA copolymer having a monomer molar ratio of 3:7 and a weight average molecular weight of 250000.

preparation example 2

[0122] Preparation Example 2: Preparation of a copolymer represented by Formula 1 (monomer molar ratio 5:5)

[0123] Inhibitors were removed from 12.5 ml of polyethylene glycol methyl ether acrylate (PEGMEA) by column chromatography packed with 30 g of basic alumina.

[0124] After adding 20 ml of DMF into a 500 ml two-neck round bottom flask, 10 g of purified PEGMEA (Mn=480), 1.2 g of dopamine methacrylamide (DMA) and 106 mg of azobisisobutyronitrile were dissolved in DMF . After the reaction mixture was treated with N 2 (Gas) After degassing for 10 minutes, the mixture was stirred at 60° C. for 17 hours. After the reaction was completed, the reaction product was precipitated using 800ml of n-hexane in a 1000ml beaker to obtain a polyDMA-PEGMEA copolymer having a monomer molar ratio of 5:5 and a weight average molecular weight of 250000.

preparation example 3

[0125] Preparation Example 3: Preparation of PolyDMA-PEGMEA Copolymer Coated Carbon Material (Monomer Molar Ratio=3:7)

[0126] 10 g of the polyDMA-PEGMEA copolymer prepared in Preparation Example 1 was dissolved in 90 g of distilled water to prepare a coating agent having a concentration of 10% by weight, which was then diluted to be used as a coating agent.

[0127] The coating agent was mixed with 10 g of carbon nanotubes (trade name: Multiwall CNT, manufacturer: Aldrich (Aldrich)) to prepare a polyDMA-PEGMEA copolymer-coated carbon material (carbon material: polyDMA- Weight ratio of PEGMEA copolymer = 99:1).
