“…Aguilar-Bolados et al [61] also showed that graphene with surfactant coatings are distributed uniformly and arranged interstitial latex particles, as observed using transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The results suggested that the presence of SDS on the graphene surfaces enables favorable interfacial interactions between SDS coated graphene and the host polymer matrix, enabling high particle-to-matrix-to-particle loading.…”

“…Aguilar-Bolados et al [61] also reported the significant elastic modulus and mechanical strength improvement (see Table 5), proposed to be caused by the incorporation of graphene within the interstices of NR particles due to the formation of nanofiller networks.…”

“…This change corresponds to the formation of a filler network within the matrix for enhanced electron mobility [17,76]. The versatility of latex technology to offer low percolation threshold and relatively high conductivity immediately stimulated others to work in this area, with much success [27,38,44,61]. Also spurred on by the desire to minimize the use of organic solvents, so-called volatile organic compounds (VOCs).…”

“…Aguilar-Bolados et al [61] provided comparison of dispersing ability between SDS and Pluronic F 127 (compound 6, Table 1). They found the resultant composites had a different dispersion quality, with SDS allowing for more that is crucial to the height of steric barrier [116,117].…”

Graphene is the newest member of the carbon family, and has revolutionized materials science especially in the field of polymer nanocomposites. However, agglomeration and uniform dispersion remains an Achilles" heel (even an elephant in the room), hampering the optimization of this material for practical applications. Chemical functionalization of graphene can overcome these hurdles but is often rather disruptive to the extended piconjugation, altering the desired physical and electronic properties. Employing surfactants as stabilizing agents in latex technology circumvents the need for chemical modification allowing for the formation of nanocomposites with retained graphene properties. This article reviews the recent progress in the use of surfactants and polymers to prepare graphene/polymer nanocomposites via latex technology. Of special interest here are surfactant structure-performance relationships, as well as background on the roles surfactantgraphene interactions for promoting stabilization.

“…On the other hand, rubber materials have been widely used for decades [28][29][30]. As a significant candidate of them, the silicone rubber (SR) has received tremendous research interest due to its good biocompatibility, thermal stability, especially excellent elasticity [31,32].…”
