▎ 摘　　要

Graphene has recently attracted much interest in material field due to its unique two-dimensional structure and outstanding properties. Various preparation methods of graphene are briefly compared. The physical and mechanical properties of graphene are then introduced. Graphene-based composite becomes one of the most important research frontiers in the application of graphene. A comprehensive review is presented to introduce the latest progress of the graphene related composites, including graphene-polymer composites and graphene-based inorganic nanocomposites, especially introducing the fabrication methods and outstanding performances of the bulk metal-matrix/graphene composites.
