Abstract

Battery and ultracapacitor electrodes are traditionally made with at least one polymeric binder material that mechanically holds the various, powder like, raw materials together. In addition to increasing the electrode resistance, the binder is assumed to be at least partially responsible for the performance degradation over time for rechargeable Lithium batteries.

We present here for the

Introduction
The field of nanocarbon-based composite materials is naturally driving and stimulating applied research today because of the high potentialities offered by both nanotechnology and carbon: each nanocarbon species (nanotubes, nanocones, nanowalls, graphene and graphite nanoplatelets, fullerenes and carbon nanodots, etc.) presents its own specific physico-chemical properties and reacts and performs differently under the same conditions, thereby enabling the optimization of material properties for specific applications (energy storage, water

ABSTRACT

Electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding relates to the property of a material that acts as a barrier to the penetration of electromagnetic radiations. EMI shielding plays an important role in fields of application where electromagnetic waves, especially at high frequencies, can interfere with electronics. Applications of EMI shielding span from cellular phones and computers

Abstract

Graphene, in its one atom thick carbon sheet form, is a special 2 dimensional nanomaterial that bridges the chemical and physical worlds. On the one hand, graphene can be seen as a chemical, a gigantic two-dimensional monomer, allowing organic chemistry to investigate its use as a reactive platform and composite and polymer science to investigate its functionalized forms into dispersed, percolated or continuous architectures, ranging from randomly to highly
