“…Melt mixing is a preparation technique favoured by industry, since it combines low cost and speed [134,[137][138][139][140][141][142][143][144][145][146][147][148][149][150][151]. The general principle of this method involves the dispersion of the fillers in the elastomer matrix in the molten state, by applying a shear force.…”

In the decade since the first isolation and identification of graphene, the scientific community is still finding ways to utilize its unique properties. The present review deals with the preparation and physicochemical characterization of graphene-based elastomeric nanocomposites. The processing and characterization of graphene and graphene oxide are described in detail, since the presence of such fillers in an elastomeric matrix affects dramatically the properties of the nanocomposite samples. Several preparation routes for the efficient dispersion of graphene in elastomers are then discussed, while aspects such as the interfacial bonding between the filler and the matrix or interactions between the fillers have been thoroughly analysed. Different types of graphene/elastomer nanocomposites are described in terms of their manufacture and properties and it has been shown that depending on the type of graphene employed and the preparation methods, the mechanical, thermal, electrical and barrier properties of the elastomeric matrix can be enhanced due to the presence of graphene, even at relatively-low filler loadings. In most cases, the formation of a filler network can play a major role in the improvement of the overall performance of the material.

“…This could indicate that the polarity of the fillers and rubbers play some role in reinforcement, since GO is more polar than rGO (Mensah et al 2014;Mensah et al 2015). The success in dispersing GO and rGO in rubber matrix at lower filler concentration by using solvent mixing technique is noticeable when the tensile properties and crosslinking density measurements are compared with those of Das et al(2012) who used melt mixing technique to dispersed expanded Graphite, graphene nanoplatelets and carbon nanotubes into nonpolar Styrene-butadiene rubber. Our compounds have achieve better reinforcement properties compared to those of Potts et al (2013) who adopted latex and solid mixing (two-roll milling) approach to reinforce Natural rubber with 5phr exfoliated graphite oxide and carbon black (CB).…”

“…As a class of very important candidates, carbon-based nanomaterials like carbon nanotubes (CNTs), graphene, and their derivatives have raised abundant research activities in the past few years [7][8][9][10][11][12]. Due to extant properties, these carbon nanomaterials are found to be promising reinforcing fillers for fabricating polymer nanocomposites with enhanced thermal, mechanical and electrical properties [13][14][15][16][17][18].…”
