▎ 摘　　要

A one-pot method which involves peeling graphite nanosheets (GNs) off into graphenes in polymer solution and in situ forming polymer/graphene sheets nanocomposites by using ball milling is presented. Via this approach, nanocomposites based on maleic anhydride grafted poly (ethylene-co-vinyl acetate) (EVA-g-MAH) and graphene sheets comprising one to five layers were accomplished. The resulted EVA-g-MAH/graphene nanocomposites displayed a percolation threshold around 5.0 wt %, much lower than that of the EVA-g-MAH/GNs nanocomposites prepared by direct solution blending (similar to 13.0 wt %). The nanocomposite containing 10 wt % of graphene sheets exhibited a higher maximum decomposition temperature by similar to 10 degrees C when compared with the virgin polymer and the corresponding nanocomposite loaded with 10 wt % of GNs.
