Electrical percolation in graphene-polymer composites

TLDR
In this paper, the progress in graphene-polymer composites for electrical applications is discussed and the current optimal composites are presented, and the example of strain sensors is used to demonstrate their application.
Abstract
Electrically conductive composites comprising polymers and graphene are extremely versatile and have a wide range of potential applications. The conductivity of these composites depends on the choice of polymer matrix, the type of graphene filler, the processing methodology, and any post-production treatments. In this review, we discuss the progress in graphene-polymer composites for electrical applications. Graphene filler types are reviewed, the progress in modelling these composites is outlined, the current optimal composites are presented, and the example of strain sensors is used to demonstrate their application.

Efros-Shklovskii Variable Range Hopping in Reduced Graphene Oxide Sheets

TL;DR: In this article, the low temperature electron transport properties of chemically reduced graphene oxide (RGO) sheets with different carbon sp2 fractions of 55 to 80 % were investigated, and it was shown that in the low bias regime, the temperature (T) dependent resistance (R) of all the devices follow Efros-Shklovskii variable range hopping (ES-VRH) R ~ exp[(T(ES)/T)^1/2] with T(ES) decreasing from 30976 to 4225 K and electron localization length increasing from 0.46

Improved Synthesis of Graphene Oxide

TL;DR: An improved method for the preparation of graphene oxide (GO) is described, finding that excluding the NaNO(3), increasing the amount of KMnO(4), and performing the reaction in a 9:1 mixture of H(2)SO(4)/H(3)PO(4) improves the efficiency of the oxidation process.
