Journal ArticleDOI
Graphene/Polymer Nanocomposites
TL;DR: Graphene has emerged as a subject of enormous scientific interest due to its exceptional electron transport, mechanical properties, and high surface area, and when incorporated appropriately, these atomically thin carbon sheets can significantly improve physical properties of host polymers at extremely small loading.
Journal ArticleDOI
Graphene/Polyurethane Nanocomposites for Improved Gas Barrier and Electrical Conductivity
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared carbon sheets exfoliated from graphite oxide (GO) via two different processes: chemical modification (isocyanate treated GO, iGO) and thermal exfoliation (thermally reduced GO, TRG), and three different methods of dispersion: solvent blending, in situ polymerization, and melt compounding.
Journal ArticleDOI
Processing-property relationships of polycarbonate/graphene composites
TL;DR: In this paper, graphite and functionalized graphene sheets (FGS) were used to construct polycarbonate composites with different degrees of graphite orientation and they were processed via injection, compression molding and long-term annealing.
Journal ArticleDOI
Morphology and Properties of Polyester/Exfoliated Graphite Nanocomposites
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared graphite platelets with functionalized graphite sheets (FGS) prepared by partial pyrolysis of graphite oxide, and showed that FGS and graphite were in good agreement with conductivity percolation.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this article, a thermally reduced graphene oxide (TRG) was blended via melt and solvent blending with linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) and its functionalized analogs (amine, nitrile and isocyanate) produced using a ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) strategy.
