Abstract

Recently, development of nanocomposite materials for applying in various fields has been actively underway. Of the two-dimensional nanomaterials, graphene nanoplatelets (GnPs) are highly utilized because of their excellent properties, but a problem of strong aggregations is occurred when GnPs are fabricated with polymer nanocomposites, so there is a growing demand for research on the methods of dispersion. In this review paper, the research on GnP nanocomposites with improved properties through various dispersion methods of GnPs. The welldispersed GnP nanocomposites will be applied in more diverse fields in the future.

최근 다양한 분야에서 활용하기 위한 고분자 나노복합소재 개발이 활발히 진행되고 있다. 2차원 나노소재 중 물성이 우수하다고 알려진 신소재인 그래핀나노플레이트를 활용하여 고분자 기지와 복합소재를 제조할 때 강한 응집현상이 일어나기 때문에 우선적으로 분산 문제를 해결하고자 하는 요구가 높아지고 있다. 본 리뷰 논문에서는 그래핀나노플레이트의 다양한 분산법을 사용하여 분산성이 향상된 탄소 나노복합소재 제조에 대한 연구를 소개하고자 한다. 고분산성을 통해 물성이 향상된 탄소 나노복합소재는 앞으로 더욱 다양한 분야에서 널리 활용될 것이다.
