Graphene Composites

Abstract

This chapter reviews recent development of graphene-based polymer composites. The formation of graphene oxide and graphene are a vital two dimensional (2D) material has received a lot of research interest in commercialization aspect due to its excellent electrical, thermal as well as mechanical properties at very low filler content. In this manner, utilization of graphene-based polymer composites with different polymer matrixes have been attracted increasing attention in recent years for both fundamental studies and applied research into industrial applications in many fields. Herein, novel properties of polymer (epoxy, polystyrene, and PANI) / graphene composites will be reviewed along with detailed examples drawn from the scientific literature. Keywords: Graphene-based polymer composites, thermo-mechanical properties, two dimensional (2D) materials
