Assembly of graphene-aligned polymer composites for thermal conductive applications

As one important member of graphene-based composites, graphene-aligned composites have drawn large amount of attention and made a great progress in academia and industry. Hence, we present a survey of the literature about graphene-aligned composites. Various their preparations are reviewed and the effects of interfacial interactions between graphene and polymer on the preparation and properties of aligned composites are also discussed. As high thermal conductive materials are becoming necessary, graphene-aligned composites show enormous potential in the applications of thermal conduction.
