description The discovery of graphene composites has driven changes among researchers because of their unique properties. The aim of the present study is to synthesize graphene and used as a filler in epoxy composites. The performance of synthesize graphene in epoxy was compared with commercialize graphene. Graphene was synthesized using modified Hummer’s method and spin coating was used to produce epoxy composites with varying amount of filler loading. Analysis from Raman spectrum of synthesize graphene showed an increase in intensity ratio (ID/IG) which indicates the decrease of average size of the sp2 domains upon reduction of the GO. This is due to the loss of carbon formation. Besides that, FTIR spectra showed that the graphite has been successfully oxidized due to the presence of peak which referring to oxygencontaining groups.
