Abstract:

Colloidal and bulk block polymer nanostructured materials fabricated via solvent- or polymerization-induced structural transitions have been used in a host of applications ranging from biomedical to energy technologies. In both methods, the resulting nanostructure forms due to a change in the initial environment by either changing the solvent quality or the compatibility between polymers during polymerization.

Graphene: A Realistic View

Graphene materials completely dispersed in various polymer matrices represent the first commercially feasible use of graphene. The talk will focus on our current developments in high-performance graphene composites based on both thermoplastic and thermoset resins. Our first graphene-based products with resistivity as low as 0.6 Ω·cm are PLA-based conductive filaments for FDM printers and a line of graphene composites and masterbatches for extrusion or injection moulding applications.
