Abstract

Abstract Graphene is a potential nanofiller that can dramatically improve the properties of polymer‐based composites at a very low loading. This article reviews the state‐of‐the‐art progress in the fabrication, properties, and uses of polymer composites with different kinds of graphene fillers. The results so far reported in the literature indicate that graphene/polymer composites are promising multifunctional materials with significantly improved tensile strength and elastic modulus, electrical and thermal conductivity, etc. Despite some challenges and the fact that carbon naotube/polymer composites are sometimes better in some particular performance, graphene/polymer composites may have wide potential applications due to their outstanding properties and the availability of graphene in a large quantity at low cost.
