Abstract

Excellent dispersion of functionalized graphene (FG) sheets in polystyrene was achieved relying on the reaction of “living” poly(glycidyl phenyl ether) chains onto graphene sheets. The physical aging of polystyrene was substantially accelerated by the presence of FG sheets at low filler content, retaining film transparency and increasing the electrical conductivity.
