Laser-induced graphene formation in polymer blends

摘要

One method of forming a polymer / graphene nanocomposite includes providing a polymer blend comprising a polyetherimide and a polycarbonate; and irradiating the polymer mixture with radiation having a wavelength in a range of 8.3 to 11 µm to provide the polymer / graphene nanocomposite. The polymer blend has a melt volume rate of 1 to 100 cm / 10 minutes, preferably 5 to 75 cm / 10 minutes, more preferably 10 to 50 cm / 10 minutes as determined at 360 ° C / 5.0 kg in accordance with ISO 1133.
