Abstract

Highly concentrated dispersions of polyvinylpyrrolidone-stabilized graphene were prepared. Using transmission electron microscopy, it was found that the graphene particles consisted, on average, of one to four layers, with the lateral size of 50–400 nm. From these dispersions, new film composites of chitosan with the filler content up to 4 wt % characteristic of electrical conductivity as high as 1.9 × 10–2 S/cm were formed.
