“…In order to achieve significant improvement of the polymer properties, nanoscale homogenous dispersion of graphene in the polymer matrix is essential [248]. Homogeneous dispersion minimizes the formation of concentrated local stresses and promotes uniform load transfer throughout the matrix [249][250][251]. However, achieving good dispersion is still a critical challenge, because graphene has a strong interaction between the layers due to the van der Waals force, and thus tend to agglomerate irreversibly or even to restack into graphite-like structures in the polymer matrix [196,252,253].…”

Graphene is a new and exciting material that has attracted much attention in the last decade and is being extensively explored because of its properties, which have been described with so many superlatives. Production of graphene for large scale application is still a major challenge. Top-down graphene exfoliation methods from graphite, such as liquid-phase exfoliation which is promising because of low cost and high scalability potential will be briefly discussed. We also analyze the challenges and possibilities of using graphene as a nanofiller in polymer composites which has resulted in enhanced electrical, mechanical and thermal properties. In this review, we take a panoramic approach to give insight on the different aspects of graphene such as properties, graphite-based production methods and also examples of graphene application in polymer composites and will be beneficial to both novice and experts.

“…Scientists are working on carbon materials based on rubber composites due to the extraordinary properties of carbon‐based fillers . For instance, rubber composites filled with carbon black, rice bran carbon, bamboo charcoal, and graphene have been an increasing interest for improved mechanical, thermal, electrical, thermal conductivity as well as gas barrier properties of rubber. Considering the relatively low density, exceptional thermal, mechanical and electrical properties, carbon nanotubes (CNT) are the ideal candidates for the ultimate reinforcements in elastomer composites .…”

In this work, hybrid composites are consisting of single wall carbon nanotubes (CNT) and tannic acid (TA) embedded in nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) matrix using kneading followed by the hot‐pressing method. The CNT and TA were mixed to NBR at different ratio and the obtained composites were subjected to morphological, rheological and thermal analysis as well as mechanical properties. The tensile test results manifested that both CNT and TA can be used as the reinforcing fillers, while the NBR composites filled with CNT exhibited a stronger mechanical behavior, indicating CNT was shown to be the more effective in tensile strength. Furthermore, the organic‐inorganic hybrid fillers presented enhancement of mechanical properties as compared to the neat NBR.

“…The application of CB in rubber composites has played an important role for more than one hundred years [19]. In recent years, CNTs and GE have aroused a great research interest in the field of rubber composites due to their functional properties as well as large specific surface area and high aspect ratio [20,21]. Previous studies found that CB, CNTs, and GE had a great impact on the mechanical properties, electrical and thermal conductivity, and fatigue properties of rubber composites, due to the different topological structure of fillers [22][23][24][25].…”

The topology of nanofillers is one of the key factors affecting the gas barrier properties of rubber composites. In this research, three types of carbon-based nanofillers, including spherical carbon black (CB), fibrous carbon nanotubes (CNTs), and layered graphene (GE) were chosen to investigate the effect of the topological structures of nanofillers on the gas barrier properties of styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) composites. Results showed that the structure and strength of the filler networks in SBR composites were closely associated with the topology of nanofillers. When filled with 35 phr CB, 8 phr CNTs, and 4 phr GE, the SBR composites had the same strength of the filler network, while the improvement in gas barrier properties were 39.2%, 12.7%, and 41.2%, respectively, compared with pure SBR composites. Among the three nanofillers, GE exhibited the most excellent enhancement with the smallest filler content, demonstrating the superiority of two-dimensional GE in improving the barrier properties of rubber composites.
