The preparation of high performance and conductive poly (vinyl alcohol)/graphene nanocomposite via reducing graphite oxide with sodium hydrosulfite

Synergistic reinforcement of poly(vinyl alcohol) nanocomposites with cellulose nanocrystal-stabilized graphene

“…Several strategies have been reported for the preparation of graphene-based PVA nanocomposites with improved mechanical, thermal or electrical properties [19][20][21][22]. The most extended approach involves incorporation of graphene oxide and subsequent M A N U S C R I P T A C C E P T E D ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT 4 reduction to reduced graphene oxide, with significant lower electrical conductivity than graphene [23][24][25].…”

Graphene nanosheets generated from sulfonated polystyrene/graphene nanocomposite

“…Hu et al prepared composites of polystyrene (PS) particles with graphene via in situ emulsion polymerization of styrene and reduction of GAO to GP using hydrazine hydrate [19]. In another study Zhou et al prepared poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA)/graphene composites by reducing PVA/graphite oxide composite films in aqueous medium [20]. A bulk of reports on composites of varieties of polymers with graphene based materials are available in the literatures [3][4][5][21][22][23][24][25].…”

Facile preparation of graphene nanoribbon filled silicone rubber nanocomposite with improved thermal and mechanical properties

“…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]. Compared with the traditional reinforcing fillers like carbon black and silica, the CNTs and the graphene have much higher Young's modulus, aspect ratio, thermal and electrical conductivity, etc.…”
