“…The vast majority of the literature upon the thermal conductivity of graphene/elastomer composites reports enhancement due to the presence of the graphene [125,131,137,141,148,151,154,155,167,209] and this has to do mainly with the intrinsic thermal conductivity of the filler itself. In the interesting work of Potts et al [131], the thermal conductivities of natural rubber (NR) reinforced with reduced graphene (RG) were measured in terms of the production method employed.…”

In the decade since the first isolation and identification of graphene, the scientific community is still finding ways to utilize its unique properties. The present review deals with the preparation and physicochemical characterization of graphene-based elastomeric nanocomposites. The processing and characterization of graphene and graphene oxide are described in detail, since the presence of such fillers in an elastomeric matrix affects dramatically the properties of the nanocomposite samples. Several preparation routes for the efficient dispersion of graphene in elastomers are then discussed, while aspects such as the interfacial bonding between the filler and the matrix or interactions between the fillers have been thoroughly analysed. Different types of graphene/elastomer nanocomposites are described in terms of their manufacture and properties and it has been shown that depending on the type of graphene employed and the preparation methods, the mechanical, thermal, electrical and barrier properties of the elastomeric matrix can be enhanced due to the presence of graphene, even at relatively-low filler loadings. In most cases, the formation of a filler network can play a major role in the improvement of the overall performance of the material.

“…The metallic bonds and Van der Waals interactions between graphene nanoplatelets with large surfaces increase the difficulty of dispersing the nanoplatelets in polymers compared with MWCNTs, where the contact area between two tubes is much smaller [94,95]. An increasing number of studies are related to the problem of filler agglomeration [49,75,96]. Chatterjee et al [94] studied the effect of average GNP size on the improvement of the electrical properties of hybrid composites containing MWCNTs.…”

“…Meanwhile, CNTs can serve as "conductive bridges" that connect graphene layers that favors the formation of conductive networks. In the resulting nanocomposites, a significant synergic effect in enhancing the electrical and thermal conductivities was observed [121]. Tang et al reported that the binary combination of CNFs and graphene produced remarkable synergetic enhancements of the electrical and mechanical properties of elastomers.…”
