Abstract
It is well-established that the structural, morphological and performance characteristics of nanoscale materials critically depend upon the dispersion state of the nanofillers that is, in turn, largely determined by the preparation protocol. In this report, we review synthetic strategies that capitalise on the in situ generation of nanoparticles on and within polymeric materials, an approach that relies on the chemical transformation of suitable precursors to functional nanoparticles synchronous with the build-up of the nanohybrid systems. This approach is distinctively different compared to standard preparation methods that exploit the dispersion of preformed nanoparticles within the macromolecular host and presents advantages in terms of time and cost effectiveness, environmental friendliness and the uniformity of the resulting composites. Notably, the in situ-generated nanoparticles tend to nucleate and grow on the active sites of the macromolecular chains, showing strong adhesion on the polymeric host. So far, this strategy has been explored in fabrics and membranes comprising metallic nanoparticles (silver, gold, platinum, copper, etc.) in relation to their antimicrobial and antifouling applications, while proof-of-concept demonstrations for carbon- and silica-based nanoparticles as well as titanium oxide-, layered double hydroxide-, hectorite-, lignin- and hydroxyapatite-based nanocomposites have been reported. The nanocomposites thus prepared are ideal candidates for a broad spectrum of applications such as water purification, environmental remediation, antimicrobial treatment, mechanical reinforcement, optical devices, etc.

Experimental and Numerical Investigation of Flow and Alignment Behavior of Waste Tire-Derived Graphene Nanoplatelets in PA66 Matrix during Melt-Mixing and Injection. Polymers (Basel) 2021; 13:polym13060949.

Abstract
Homogeneous dispersion of graphene into thermoplastic polymer matrices during melt-mixing is still challenging due to its agglomeration and weak interfacial interactions with the selected polymer matrix. In this study, an ideal dispersion of graphene within the PA66 matrix was achieved under high shear rates by thermokinetic mixing. The flow direction of graphene was monitored by the developed numerical methodology with a combination of its rheological behaviors. Graphene nanoplatelets (GNP) produced from waste-tire by upcycling and recycling techniques having high oxygen surface functional groups were used to increase the compatibility with PA66 chains. This study revealed that GNP addition increased the crystallization temperature of nanocomposites since it acted as both a nucleating and reinforcing agent. Tensile strength and modulus of PA66 nanocomposites were improved at 30% and 42%, respectively, by the addition of 0.3 wt% GNP. Flexural strength and modulus were reached at 20% and 43%, respectively. In addition, the flow model, which simulates the injection molding process of PA66 resin with different GNP loadings considering the rheological behavior and alignment characteristics of GNP, served as a tool to describe the mechanical performance of these developed GNP based nanocomposites.

Abstract
Construction of segregated structures in polymer composites is an efficient way to improve the electrical conductivity and reduce the percolation threshold by confining conductive fillers into the interstitial areas between polymer domains. Yet, it remains a great challenge to engineer segregated structures into thermosets as the cross-linked structure prohibits the "sintering" of polymer domains into a coherent material. Thus far, the state of art approaches to create segregated network in cross-linked polymers involve tedious procedures and are limited to latex mixing technology. Here, inspired by solid state plasticity of vitrimers, we present a simple method to create segregated structures in covalently cross-linked networks by compression molding of conductive filler-coated vitrimer granules. Specifically, dynamic boronic ester-cross-linked styrene-butadiene rubber vitrimers was ground into granules and then mechanically mixed with carbon nanotubes (CNTs) to coat CNTs onto vitrimer granules, followed by hot-press molding. During the molding process, the transesterifications of boronic esters enable cross-linked granules to adhere together through molecular bonding, and the high viscosity of granules forces CNTs to selectively localize at their boundary region. As a result, coherently segregated composites with an ultralow percolation threshold, good flexibility, and healing capability are obtained. With this example, we envisage that this work provides a conceptual method to create segregated structures in cross-linked polymers.

Abstract
Abstract
In this paper, the fabrication process of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)-based microstructured conductive composites via differential temperature hot embossing was proposed based on the spatial confining forced network assembly theory. The mold temperature was kept constant throughout the whole embossing cycle in this method, whereas the setting temperatures of the upper and lower molds were different. To solve the problem of poor conveying performance, a double-station automatic hot embossing equipment was designed and developed. A “bullet-filled” accurate feeding system was designed aiming at the high viscosity and feeding difficulty of blended PDMS-based composites before curing. Dispersion mold and semifixed compression mold were designed according to different functional requirements of different workstations. The developed automatic hot embossing equipment had already been successfully applied to the continuous preparation of conductive composites with greatly improved processing precision and efficiency. Furthermore, the conductive composites with and without microstructures can be used as flexible sensors for pressure measurements.

Abstract
Hierarchically microstructured tri-axial poly(vinyl alcohol)/graphene nanoplatelet (PVA/GNP) composite fibers were fabricated using a dry-jet wet spinning technique. The composites with distinct PVA/GNPs/PVA phases led to highly oriented and evenly distributed graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) as a result of molecular chain-assisted interfacial exfoliation. With a concentration of 3.3 wt% continuously aligned GNPs, the composite achieved a ∼73.5% increase in Young's modulus (∼38 GPa), as compared to the pure PVA fiber, and an electrical conductivity of ∼0.38 S m-1, one of the best mechanical/electrical properties reported for polymer/GNP nanocomposite fibers. This study has broader impacts on textile engineering, wearable robotics, smart sensors, and optoelectronic devices.

Abstract
Graphene-based polymer composites with superior electrical and mechanical performance are highly desirable because of their wide range of applications. However, due to the mismatch between charge jumping and the load transfer of adjacent graphene sheets, it remains difficult to achieve significant, simultaneous improvements in electrical and mechanical properties of graphene-polymer composites. To overcome this issue, we here propose an effective strategy to constructed unique 3D conductive networks in which the compatibility of graphene and polymer can be improved by controlled decoration of few-defect graphene sheets, while segregated graphene networks retain good charge-jumping capability. The final composites exhibit an ultra-low electrical conductive percolation threshold of 0.032 vol % and an ultra-high electrical conductivity of 60 S/m at only 2.45 vol %, superior to most of the reported results. They also reveal significantly improved thermodynamic properties, tensile strength, and toughness. We believe that such a simple, industrially feasible method contributes to boost the development of high-performance, functional graphene-polymer composites.

Abstract
Carbon nanomaterials including carbon black (CB), carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and graphene have attracted increasingly more interest in academia due to their fascinating properties. These nanomaterials can significantly improve the mechanical, electrical, thermal, barrier, and flame retardant properties of elastomers. The improvements are dependent on the molecular nature of the matrix, the intrinsic property, geometry and dispersion of the fillers, and the interface between the matrix and the fillers. In this article, we briefly described the fabrication processes of elastomer composites, illuminated the importance of keeping fillers at nanoscale in matrices, and critically reviewed the recent development of the elastomeric composites by incorporating CB, CNTs, and graphene and its derivatives. Attention has been paid to the mechanical properties and electrical and thermal conductivity. Challenges and further research are discussed at the end of the article.

Abstract
Development of novel and versatile strategies to construct conductive polymer composites with low percolation thresholds and high mechanical properties is of great importance. In this work, we report a facile and effective strategy to prepare polyaniline@cellulose nanowhiskers (PANI@CNs)/natural rubber (NR) nanocomposites with 3D hierarchical multiscale structure. Specifically, PANI was synthesized in situ on the surface of CNs biotemplate to form PANI@CNs nanohybrids with high aspect ratio and good dispersity. Then NR latex was introduced into PANI@CNs nanohybrids suspension to enable the self-assembly of PANI@CNs nanohybrids onto NR latex microspheres. During cocoagulation process, PANI@CNs nanohybrids selectively located in the interstitial space between NR microspheres and organized into a 3D hierarchical multiscale conductive network structure in NR matrix. The combination of the biotemplate synthesis of PANI and latex cocoagulation method significantly enhanced the electrical conductivity and mechanical properties of the NR-based nanocomposites simultaneously. The electrical conductivity of PANI@CNs/NR nanocomposites containing 5 phr PANI showed 11 orders of magnitude higher than that of the PANI/NR composites at the same loading fraction,; meanwhile, the percolation threshold was drastically decreased from 8.0 to 3.6 vol %.

Abstract
Graphene was prepared by low temperature vacuum-assisted thermal exfoliation of graphite oxide. The resulting thermally reduced graphene oxide (TRGO) had a specific surface area of 586 m(2)/g and consisted of a mixture of single-layered and multilayered graphene. The TRGO was added to maleated linear low-density polyethylene LLDPE and to its derivatives with pyridine aromatic groups by melt compounding. The LLDPE/TRGO composites exhibited very low electrical percolation thresholds, between 0.5 and 0.9 vol %, depending on the matrix viscosity and the type of functional groups. The dispersion of the TRGO in the compatibilized composites was improved significantly, due to enhanced noncovalent interactions between the aromatic moieties grafted onto the polymer matrix and the filler. Better dispersion resulted in a slight increase in the rheological and electrical percolation thresholds, and to significant improvements in mechanical properties and thermal conductivity, compared to the noncompatibilized composites. The presence of high surface area nanoplatelets within the polymer also resulted in a substantially improved thermal stability. Compared to their counterparts containing multiwalled carbon nanotubes, LLDPE/TRGO composites had lower percolation thresholds. Therefore, lower amounts of TRGO were sufficient to impart electrical conductivity and modulus improvements, without compromising the ductility of the composites.

Abstract
Piezoelectric composites comprising an active phase of ferroelectric ceramic and a polymer matrix have recently found numerous sensory applications. However, it remains a major challenge to further improve their electromechanical response for advanced applications such as precision control and monitoring systems. We here investigated the incorporation of graphene platelets (GnPs) and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs), each with various weight fractions, into PZT (lead zirconate titanate)/epoxy composites to produce three-phase nanocomposites. The nanocomposite films show markedly improved piezoelectric coefficients and electromechanical responses (50%) besides an enhancement of ~200% in stiffness. The carbon nanomaterials strengthened the impact of electric field on the PZT particles by appropriately raising the electrical conductivity of the epoxy. GnPs have been proved to be far more promising in improving the poling behavior and dynamic response than MWNTs. The superior dynamic sensitivity of GnP-reinforced composite may be caused by the GnPs' high load transfer efficiency arising from their two-dimensional geometry and good compatibility with the matrix. The reduced acoustic impedance mismatch resulting from the improved thermal conductance may also contribute to the higher sensitivity of GnP-reinforced composite. This research pointed out the potential of employing GnPs to develop highly sensitive piezoelectric composites for sensing applications.
