Abstract

Interest in nanocomposite materials has grown rapidly over the past decade. In this time, graphene, graphene analogs, and polymers have increasingly found use as components in nanocomposite materials. Combining multiple materials at the nanoscale provides an opportunity to produce nanocomposites with unique and in many cases enhanced properties. Conductivity is one such property, which can be enhanced through the interaction of multiple materials at the nanoscale. In this review, we highlight nanocomposites derived from graphene analogous materials (MoS2, WS2, BN, MXenes) and electronically conducting polymers (polyaniline, polypyrrole, polythiophene, and derivatives). Methods of nanocomposite preparations including solution or nanodispersion mixing, melt mixing, and in situ polymerization are discussed, as well as specific applications of nanocomposite materials.
