Abstract:
Water‐dispersed graphene oxide sheets were used to prepare graphene/poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate resin composites by photopolymerization. It was found that graphene sheets undergo excellent morphological distribution within the resin system, giving rise to transparent composites with unaltered thermal properties with respect to the neat resin, that are electrically conductive at loading ratios as low as 0.02 wt.‐% of graphene oxide. The proposed strategy based on photopolymerization provides an easy, energy‐saving and environmental friendly technique that can find a wide application in coating technology, mainly for electromagnetic shielding and antistatic coatings.
