Abstract

Polydopamine-coated graphene oxide (DGO) films exhibit electrical conductivities of 11000 S m -1 and 30000 S m -1 upon vacuum annealing at 130°C and 180°C, respectively. Conductive poly(vinyl alcohol)/graphene and epoxy/graphene nanocomposites show low percolation thresholds due to the excellent dispersibility of the DGO sheets and their effective in situ reduction.
