ABSTRACT

4Graphene, a one-atom-thick sheet of carbon atoms with a two-dimensional hexagonal lattice structure, has attracted intense attention because of its unique properties such as fast charge carrier mobility, high thermal conductivity, and large surface area with potential applications in energy, catalysis, and sensing. The use of these materials in polymer as a reinforcement material found a dramatic enhance in the overall properties of the host material. The combination of the amazing physical properties of graphene and the ability to disperse in various polymer matrices has led to emerge of a new era of polymer nanocomposites. This chapter discusses about the use of graphene for making polymer nanocomposite and their impact on various polymers.
