Enhanced Thermal and Electrical Properties of Polystyrene-Graphene Nanofibers via Electrospinning

Enhanced Thermal and Electrical Properties of Polystyrene-Graphene Nanofibers via Electrospinning

Polystyrene- (PS-) graphene nanoplatelets (GNP) (0.1, 1, and 10 wt.%) nanofibers were successfully produced via electrospining of dimethyformamide- (DMF-) stabilized GNP and PS solutions. Morphological analysis of the composite nanofibers confirmed uniform fiber formation and good GNP dispersion/dis...
