Graphene-based polymer composites fabrication methods

Methods of fabrication of graphene-based polymer composites... 

The three most common methods of fabricating graphene-based polymer composites are described below. 

It should be said that at present this method is used mostly for deposition of polymer-based materials. However, sensors with acceptable parameters fabricated using inkjet printing of carbon black composites (De Girolamo Del Mauro et al. 2011), carbon nanotubes (Kim et al. 2009), graphene (Dua et al. 2010), and metal oxide gas-sensing layers, such as Cr TuOj (Peter et al. 2011), WO3 (Kukkola et al. 2012), SnO (Lee et al. 2007a), and In Oj (Pashchanka et al. 2012) are presented. These layers were incorporated in resistive (Kim et al. 2009 Crowley et al. 2010), cantilever (Bietsch et al. 2004), optical (O Toole et al. 2009), and FET-based (Maklin et al. 2008) gas sensors. Examples of different types of inkjet-printed resistive gas sensors are listed in Table 28.5.
