Effect of π–π Stacking Interfacial Interaction on the Properties of Graphene/Poly(styrene-<i>b</i>-isoprene-<i>b</i>-styrene) Composites

Interfacial interaction is one of the most important factors in the construction of high-performance graphene-based elastomer composites. In this paper, graphene/poly (styrene-<i>b</i>-isoprene-<i>b</i>-styrene) (SIS) composites were prepared with solution mixing followed by...
