New approaches to the synthesis and exfoliation of polymer/functional graphene nanocomposites by miniemulsion polymerization

Thesis (PhD)--Stellenbosch University, 2012. === ENGLISH ABSTRACT: New methods are described for the synthesis of polymer/graphite nanocomposites using the miniemulsion polymerization process. Natural graphite was functionalized by oxidation to produce graphite oxide (GO) nanosheets. Poly(styrene-...
