Abstract

Recent years have seen many innovations of graphene in various fields such as physics, chemistry, biology, and materials science. Graphene-based materials and their composites have a wide range of promising applications including electronics, biomedical devices, membranes, wearable sensors, and actuators. Graphene is a 2-dimensional (2D) array of carbon atoms in planar and hexagonal forms. Each carbon is sp2-hybridized and connects three stable bonds C–C–μ at 120° apart. The unhybridized p-orbital, together with the same p-orbitals across the entire 2-D plane, is perpendicular to the sp2-hybridization plane on other carbon atoms by Ś interaction. Graphene-based nanocomposites have drawn a great deal of attention in scientific communities, due to its extraordinary magnetic, mechanical, thermal and optical properties, and a large surface region. This chapter, therefore, presents different techniques in the graphene synthesis method and its excellent physical and chemical properties. Various manufacturing processes of graphene-based composites are introduced. In conclusion, the remaining challenges and perspectives in functional science and engineering for graphene nanocomposites are discussed.
