Graphene-Based Polymer Composites for Aerospace, Electronic, Energy, and Biomedical Applications

Abstract

Multifunctional graphene-based nanocomposites are one class of nanocomposite materials that has spurred significant technological advancements across an extensive spectrum of applications. When compared to neat polymers and other nanomaterials, the multifunctional nanocomposites-derived applications sectors are aerospace, automotive industry, electronics, sensors, and biomedical exhibit improved electrical conductivity, sensitivity, selectivity, durability, and responsiveness. Owing to the significance of nanocomposites in several technical fields, the overview is being broadened to include an emphasis on the classification of multifunctional nanocomposites and cutting-edge applications of graphene/polymer-based nanocomposites. This chapter also emphasizes the fundamentals and current advancements in the field of multifunctional nanocomposites. Graphene oxide-based nanocomposites have uses in diverse medical sciences domains, including drug delivery systems, tissue engineering, biosensing, and bioimaging. In addition to being employed in biomedical systems, graphene and its composites are widely used as functional materials featuring applications in electronics, aerospace, defense, and energy sectors. This chapter will be valuable to researchers investigating the applications of multifunctional composites in various disciplines for the benefit of humanity, as well as others interested in this new area of materials science.
