Graphene and Graphene Oxide as Nanofiller for Polymer Blends

Abstract

Due to its exceptionally outstanding electrical, mechanical, and thermal properties, graphene is being explored for a wide array of applications and has attracted enormous scientific and industrial interest. In this present work, recent research and development of the utilization of graphene and graphene oxide as nanofiller in the fabrication of nanocomposites with different polymer matrices are developed. Most production methods of graphene and the processing of Graphene/polymer blends are discussed. We also review the electrical, mechanical, thermal, and barrier properties of these blends and the influence of the intrinsic properties of these fillers (graphene and its derivatives) and their state of dispersion in polymer matrix on the properties.
