Abstract
Graphene, a single atom thick two-dimensional sheet of sp2 – bonded carbon atoms, is one of the allotropes of carbon. It is a monolayer of carbon atoms arranged into a two-dimensional planar honeycomb lattice. It is a unique material due to its superior mechanical property, exceptional thermal and electrical properties, along with high specific area. Due to these excellent properties, graphene has been used as filler in advanced nanocomposites for various applications such as electronics, electrode for supercapacitors, sensors, and structural composites. However, the fabrication of graphene and graphene oxide based nanocomposites faces significant challenges including the surface modification for better interfacial interactions and uniform dispersion of graphene sheets in polymer matrices. This work will provide the recent research progress in graphene based polymeric nanocomposites including the synthesis method of graphene, its surface modification method, fabrication techniques and the applications of graphene nanocomposites.
