Enhanced Thermal Conductivity of Epoxy–Graphene Composites by Using Non‐Oxidized Graphene Flakes with Non‐Covalent Functionalization

Homogeneous distribution of graphene flakes in a polymer matrix, still preserving intrinsic material properties, is key to successful composite applications. A novel approach is presented to disperse non-oxidized graphene flakes with non-covalent functionalization of 1-pyrenebutyric acid and to fabricate nanocomposites with outstanding thermal conductivity (∼1.53 W/mK) and mechanical properties (∼1.03 GPa).
