Surfactant-free, melt-processable metal-polymer hybrid materials: Use of graphene as a dispersing agent
Graphene coatings on metal nanoparticles work as lubricants and dispersing agents and can fully replace Currently used surfactants. These high-temperature-stable metal-polymer hybrid materials can be shaped by injection molding, enabling rapid manufacturing of electrical engines, actuators, and micromachines.
