Graphene paper-based nanocomposites

A nanocomposite paper based on aramid nanofibers and graphene oxide has been described that is fabricated by a vacuum-assisted filtration followed by reduction [39]. The nanocomposite paper is mechanically robust and electrically conductive. 

Similarly, nanocomposites of graphene and PANl were used by Ruecha et al. [54] to develop a paper based biosensor for the enzyme based detection of cholesterol and the electrochemical detection of the by-product H2O2 of the enzymatic reaction. Interestingly they incorporated polyvinylpyrrolidone in the modified electrode in order to improve the stabilization of the graphene concentration. Those biosensors based on composites of different materials often show a combination of the parameters of the materials and therefore offer a higher thermal stability, better condnctivity and improved resistance to salts.
