Enhanced Thermal and Electrical Properties of Polystyrene-Graphene Nanofibers via Electrospinning

Abstract: Polystyrene- (PS-) graphene nanoplatelets (GNP) (0.1, 1, and 10 wt.%) nanofibers were successfully produced via electrospining of dimethyformamide- (DMF-) stabilized GNP and PS solutions. Morphological analysis of the composite nanofibers confirmed uniform fiber formation and good GNP dispersion/distribution within the PS matrix. The good physical properties of GNP produced by liquid exfoliation were transferred to the PS nanofibers. GNP modified PS nanofibers showed a 6-fold increase in the thermal conductivi… Show more

“…Yan et al studied the thermal and electrical properties of polystyrene-graphene nanofibers via electrospinning technique. It was found that the addition of graphene nanoparticles into the polymer matrix increased the thermal stability of polystyrene and our analyzed results were observed to be similar to their findings [ 28 ].…”

“…Even very low filler loading could contribute to great enhancement. Graphene-based materials have been employed to manufacture conducting nanocomposites with enhanced physical and chemical properties as well as different polymers matrices, including epoxy [22], poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) [34], polypropylene [35], and polystyrene [36]. Single-layer graphene possesses the best intrinsic properties; however, it is still difficult to obtain in large-scale and low cost.…”

“…Li et al integrated graphene nanoplatelets (GNP) into PS electrospun fibers. The thermal conductivity of PS fibers was increased six-fold and electrical conductivity was increased by 7-8 orders of magnitude [142]. Moreover, the integration of GNPs introduced texture on the fibers' surface (see Figure 9a).…”

“…Electrospinning polymers with nanoparticles are a common way to achieve functional electrospun fibers [38]. By incorporating nanoparticles, the properties of the nanoparticles are readily integrated within the electrospun fibers [140][141][142][143][144]. Meanwhile, the continuity and stability of electrospun fibers make them suitable carriers for nanoparticles for a wide range of applications.…”
