Application of graphene from exfoliation in kitchen mixer allows mechanical reinforcement of PVA/graphene film

Mechanical properties of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) can be reinforced from the addition of graphene into its matrix. However, pristine graphene lacks solubility in water and thus makes dispersion a challenging task. Notably, functionalisation of graphene is required to accommodate graphene presence in...
