“…One of the modification methods is electropolymerization, possessing multiple advantages, such as: simplicity, selectivity, sensitivity to analytes, strong adhesion of the polymer film to the electrode surface, ability to provide a larger surface by forming homogeneous membranes, etc. [153]. Specialized literature describes electrodes that are chemically modified by polyimidazole, polyphenylene oxide, polypyrrole, polyaniline, and polyglycine to develop electrochemical sensors [154].…”

In this work, an aerogel with excellent flame retardancy, enhanced compression modulus, and efficient thermal insulation was developed from poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA), biobased phytic acid (PA), and single-walled carbon nanohorns (SWCNHs). The microstructural evolution of the freeze-dried PVA/PA/SWCNH composite aerogels revealed that varied amounts of phytic acid could influence the three-dimensional architecture. Especially, when the concentration of PA was 1.5%, the PVA/PA/SWCNHs composite aerogel with a tightly arranged "short tubes" structure had a high compressive modulus of 2.02 MPa, corresponding to the specific modulus of 20.2 MPa cm 3 /g. Compared to the PVA/SWCNHs aerogel, the PVA/PA/SWCNHs composite aerogels showed better fire retardancy, as confirmed by limited oxygen index (LOI) tests and cone calorimetry (CC) tests. Notably, the introduction of phytic acid at 1.5% resulted in LOI values up to 49.8 ± 0.1% and the pHRR and THR of the PVA/PA/SWCNHs composite aerogel were dramatically reduced by 74.3 and 81.0%, respectively. In addition, PVA/PA/SWCNHs composite aerogels with different concentrations of phytic acid exhibited excellent thermal insulation performance with a slightly lower thermal conductivity (32.2− 46.9 mW/(m K)) and resisted the ∼1300 °C flame. Meanwhile, the synergistic flame retardancy between SWCNHs and phytic acid was also confirmed by the analysis of the char residues and gas-phase products. These unique characteristics make the aerogel a promising multifunctional candidate for applications in aviation, aerospace, and other fields.

Graphene oxide is an imperative modified form of graphene. Similar to graphene, graphene oxide has gained vast interest for the myriad of industrial applications. Conjugated polymers or conducting polymers are well known organic materials having conducting backbone. These polymers have semiconducting nature due to π-conjugation along the main chain. Doping and modification have been used to enhance the electrical conductivity of the conjugated polymers. The nanocomposites of the conjugated polymers have been reported with the nanocarbon nanofillers including graphene oxide. This review essentially presents the structure, properties, and advancements in the field of conducting polymer/graphene oxide nanocomposites. The facile synthesis, processability, and physical properties of the polymer/graphene oxide nanocomposites have been discussed. The conjugated polymer/graphene oxide nanocomposites have essential significance for the supercapacitors, solar cells, and anti-corrosion materials. Nevertheless, the further advanced properties and technical applications of the conjugated polymer/graphene oxide nanocomposites need to be explored to overcome the challenges related to the high performance.
