1 Graphene-based composites Andrea Liscio Vincenzo CNR Palermo ISOF Bologna, CNR ISOF Italy Bologna, Italy

2 GRAPHENE COMPOSITE WHY? HOW?

3 GRAPHENE a class of materials All-surface material Graphene production - Topology - Functionalization Novoselov K.S., et al., Nature (2012) 420,

4 Chemically functionalized graphene GRAPHENES 1. Graphene oxide (GO) 2. Covalent functionalization 3. Supra-molecular interactions

5 COMPOSITE Composite material is a type of material made from two or more other different materials which remain distinct from each other after joining

6 GRAPHENE-BASED COMPOSITES WHY? Enhancement of properties Mechanical properties Graphene/PVA Electrical properties Graphene/PS Zhao et al., Macromolecules 2010, 43, Stankovich et al., Nature July 2006

7 GRAPHENE-BASED COMPOSITES HOW? Graphenes production Example: Industrial collaboration project with 3 SMEs Mixing with polymer composite masterbatch pellets composite ink

8 Graphene-based Composites Prototypes

9 NOT ONLY INGREDIENTS being a composite something more than two materials
