Graphene filled polymer nanocomposites

Abstract: Graphene has attracted the attention of a growing number of scientists from several disciplines due to its remarkable physical properties and chemical functionalisation capabilities. This review presents an overview of graphene/polymer nanocomposites discussing preparation, properties and potential applications. The challenges and outlook of these emerging polymer nanocomposites are also discussed.

“…RGO is electrically conducting due to the restored sp 2 bonds networks. Graphene derivatives have also been found of interest to produce composite conducting materials [19,20] with such low filler content as 0.1 % [19].…”

“…Shortly after sometime, chemical vapour deposition (CVD) was used as a viable alternative [16,17]. However, it was soon realised that these procedures offer a low production yield and particularly in the case of micromechanical cleavage they were time consuming that hindered effective and full-exploitation of these materials [18]. Even though researches have fine-tuned the technique to provide high quality crystallites up to 100 µm in size, making it better separated ( Fig.…”

“…GO can be exfoliated by sonication in water but the resulting material is electrically insulating, so it should be reduced to restore its conductivity. Reduction can be performed by chemical or thermal treatment [18]. Rapid heating has also been reported as a possible solution resulting in high yields of dispersed carbon powder with a few percent of carbon flakes [42].…”

“…Also, charge/discharge cycling of the battery is dependent on several factors, some of which includes; solubility of the active materials in solution resulting to decrease in capacity, side reactions and/or instabilities of anions formed, structural modification during the charge/discharge leading to capacity loss on cycling. Finally, low conductivity of organic materials is also a limiting factor and this should be addressed by using conductive additive materials such as carbon nanotubes [44] and graphene [45,46] in order to improve electron transport within the electrode.…”
