LASER-INDUCED GRAPHENE FORMATION IN POLYMER BLENDS

摘要

A method for forming a polymer/graphene nanocomposite includes providing a polymer blend comprising a polyetherimide and a polycarbonate; and irradiating the polymer blend with radiation comprising 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 cm³/10 min, preferably 5 to 75 cm³/10 min, more preferably 10 to 50 cm³/10 min, as determined at 360° C./5.0 kg in accordance with ISO 1133.
