Conspectus Polymer brushes are special macromolecular structures with polymer chains
densely tethered to another polymer chain (one-dimensional, 1D) or the surface of a planar …

Nitroxide-mediated polymerization (NMP) is a controlled/living radical polymerization
(CLRP) technique that enables the design of well-defined, functional and complex …

Epoxy composites filled with both graphene oxide (GO) and diglycidyl ether of bisphenol-A
functionalized GO (DGEBA–f–GO) sheets were prepared at different filler loading levels. The …

This review highlights the functionalization chemistry of graphene with polymers by both
covalent and non-covalent approaches. Due to the strong cohesive interactions graphene …

Compressive graphene aerogels were obtained by the one-step reduction and self-
assembly of graphene oxide with ethylenediamine and then freeze-drying. The aerogels …

Polymer/filler composites have been widely used in various areas. One of the keys to
achieve the high performance of these composites is good interfacial interaction between …

Graphene oxide (GO), a novel 2D nanomaterial prepared by the oxidation of natural
graphite, has been paid much attention in the area of drug delivery due to good …

The increasing exploitation of graphene‐based materials (GBMs) is driven by their unique
properties and structures, which ignite the imagination of scientists and engineers. At the …

Covalent binding of polymers to graphene represents an interesting alternative for the
development of novel composite materials with a compendium of interfacial interactions …

We report on the modification of graphene oxide (GO) with poly (vinyl alcohol)(PVA) leading
to the mechanical improvement of GO based materials. First, GO was covalently …
