Abstract

Graphene is a promising nanocarbon material with exceptional features such as a large surface area and outstanding electrical and thermal properties. It has the potential to be a new creation of reinforcing material for polymer composites owing to its low mass density, large specific surface area, excellent compatibility, the inexpensive cost to create compared to carbon nanotubes, and attractive flexibility. The several approaches for synthesizing graphene and distributing it in polymer matrices are explored. This chapter focuses on a summary of the surface alternation of graphene with various synthetic techniques and the preparation and properties of graphene-based different polymer nanocomposites. This chapter provides a broad overview of the nanocomposite synthesis, properties, and finally prospective application of polymer-graphene nanocomposites in various energy storage sectors.
