Recent advances in graphene based polymer composites
TL;DR: In this paper, the structure, preparation and properties of polymer/graphene nanocomposites are discussed in general along with detailed examples drawn from the scientific literature, and the percolation threshold can be achieved at a very lower filler loading.
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.
