Abstract

Graphene is one of the most versatile conducting filler particles being used in the polymer matrix composites field. Recent patents in the polymer-graphene nanocomposites field are discussed in this chapter. Being a conducting filler, the majority of the graphene containing nanocomposites mainly finds application where electrical or thermal conductivity is utilized. Another significant characteristic of graphene is their exceptionally high mechanical properties which makes its composites useful where high mechanical properties are expected. A large number of such patents in the graphene-polymer nanocomposites field are commercialized and being applied in numerous fields that affect daily life, such as electrical/electronics, automobile, aerospace, solar cells, sensors, and packaging films.
