Poly(propylene) polymer nanocomposites containing graphene nanoplatelets (GnPs) with different loadings are fabricated via a facile ex-situ solution approach. Improved thermal stability and higher crystallinity are observed in the PNCs. Both electrical conductivity and real permittivity increase with increasing GnP loading. Electrical conductivity percolation is observed at 12.0 wt% GnP. The rheological behavior of the PNC melts are also investigated. It is found that the modulus and viscosity are reduced at small GnP loadings and increased above a critical loading.
