Describes electronic applications of graphene filled and reinforced polymers

Introduction: Graphene Nanocomposites: Role in Electronics.- Electrical Properties of Graphene Polymer Nanocomposites.- Graphene/Polymer Nanocomposites with High Dielectric Performance: Interface Engineering.- Multi Functional and Smart Graphene filled Polymers as Piezoelectrics and Actuators.- Graphene Polymer Nanocomposites for Fuel Cells.- Graphene Nanocomposites in Optoelectronics.- Graphene Filled Polymers in Photovoltaic.- Graphene Composites based Photodetectors.- Polymer/ Nanographite Composites for Mechanical Impact Sensing.- Graphene filled Polymers for Vapor / Gas Sensor Applications.- Development of Biosensors from Polymer Graphene Composites.- Graphene/Polymer Nanocomposites as Microwave Absorbers.- Graphene Nanocomposites for Electromagnetic Induction Shielding.

This book covers graphene reinforced polymers, which are useful in electronic applications, including electrically conductive thermoplastics composites, thermosets and elastomers. It systematically introduces the reader to fundamental aspects and leads over to actual applications, such as sensor fabrication, electromagnetic interference shielding, optoelectronics, superconductivity, or memory chips. The book also describes dielectric and thermal behaviour of graphene polymer composites - properties which are essential to consider for the fabrication and production of these new electronic materials. The contributions in this book critically discuss the actual questions in the development and applications of graphene polymer composites. It will thus appeal to chemists, physicists, materials scientists as well as nano technologists, who are interested in the properties of graphene polymer composites.
