TLDR
Graphene nanosheets were prepared by complete oxidation of pristine graphite followed by thermal exfoliation and reduction in this paper, and the incorporation of graphene greatly improved the electrical conductivity of PET, resulting in a sharp transition from electrical insulator to semiconductor with a low percolation threshold of 0.47 vol.%.
