Abstract

Electrically and thermally conductive polymer nanocomposites (PNCs) containing graphene derivatives (GDs) such as graphene, graphene nanoplatelets, graphene oxide, reduced graphene oxide, expanded graphite, and many more offer new possibilities for replacing conventional materials in a great number of applications, including electronic and energy storage devices, solar and fuel cells, supercapacitors, flexible electrodes, transistors, electrostatic discharge and electromagnetic interference shielding materials, light emitting diodes, and more. In the present study, one can find the literature's survey of PNCs with GDs. A variety of routes used to produce graphene-based materials have been reviewed, along with the methods for incorporating these materials in selected polymer matrices by means of noncovalent, covalent, and other procedures. We have also reviewed the rheological and viscoelastic, thermal, mechanical, gas barrier, electrical, and other special properties of these nanocomposites, as well as how the addition of GDs and their state of dispersion in the matrices affect these nanocomposite properties. An overview of possible applications of these graphene-based nanocomposites is provided within the field of future progress of the development of these promising materials.
