Graphene-Enabled Functional Materials (Graphene & 2D Materials Europe 2019)

Graphene and 2D materials offer the possibility of a unique set of performance enhancements when added to polymers and inks. This paper describes examples of performance enhancements in mechanical, electrical and thermal properties achieved in polymers and inks, with real-world case studies.
