The total chemical synthesis of polymer/graphene nanocomposite films†
Abstract
A versatile and room temperature synthesis of thin films of polymer/graphene is reported. Drastically differing from other methods, not only the polymer but also the graphene are completely built from their simplest monomers (thiophene and benzene) in a one-pot polymerization reaction at a liquid–liquid interface. The materials were characterized and electronic properties are presented.
