▎ 摘  要

Polymer-graphene composites have attracted significant attention; however, their formation mechanisms are a focus of debate. This work tries to clarify how grafting occurs on graphene by electron spin resonance techniques. As a result, two pathways are found. One passes through the radicals formed by cleaving C-O bonds on graphene are transferred to monomers, then grafting and polymerization proceed. Another mechanism passes through the oxy-radicals, which react with monomers in solution and finally react with carbon radicals on graphene. Based on the mechanism, various types of polymer-graphene composites are prepared, and applied to electrical conductive sheets, basic catalysts, and acidic catalysts.
