This review article reports recent advances in graphene/polymer-based composites. Graphene is a potential nanofiller that can dramatically improve the properties of polymer-based composites at very low loading. Various new techniques such as solution processing, in-situ polymerization, and melt intercalation along with new polymer/graphene composites are discussed. Modification of polymer materials by inducing graphene is widely reported in this article. The graphene/polymer-based composites exhibit renewed properties such as adsorption, anti-bacterial, hydrophobicity and electrical and thermal conductivity. With the integration and miniaturization of electronic devices, thermal management has become a crucial issue and hence graphene/polymer-based composites have gained a significant attention in recent years. Different thermal conduction mechanisms with respect to graphene and polymer, graphene/polymer composites have been investigated for electronic, sensing and electromagnetic interference/shielding applications. The assembly techniques available for effectively incorporating graphene/polymer flexible composites by utilizing weak and strong interfacial interactions are summarized. Finally, this report provides a roadmap for the synthesis of new polymers compatible with graphene.
