B-Stage Graphene-Epoxy Composite Films: Effects of film viscosity changes on the electric field-induced alignment of graphene flakes

Graphene, which is a layer of carbon atoms in a hexagonal lattice, has been reported to have excellent mechanical, electrical, thermal, and gas barrier properties. One of the most widely used applications of graphene is graphene?polymer composites, which are one of the most promising solutions, since highly functional materials can be produced with a small amount graphene flakes incorporated in a lightweight polymer matrix. Graphene?polymer composites have been investigated for various types of applications such as thermal interface materials, electromagnetic interference shielding materials, gas sensor materials, and gas barrier materials.
