▎ 摘  要

High aspect ratio graphene nanosheets (GNS), prepared via liquid exfoliation, are homogeneously dispersed in thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU). Dielectric spectroscopy results are reported for these nanocomposites (up to 0.55 vol. % GNS) in the frequency range of 100 Hz to 5 MHz. The as-prepared GNS increased the AC conductivity 10 - 1000 times across the given frequency range. The dielectric constant is increased 5 - 6 times at 100 Hz for the maximum loading of GNS when compared with the pristine TPU, with subsequently high dielectric loss making them a suitable candidate for high energy dissipation applications such as EMI shielding. The temperature effects on the dielectric characteristics of 0.55 vol. % GNS/TPU nanocomposites beyond 400 K are more pronounced due to the interfacial and orientation polarization. Mechanical characteristics evaluation of GNS/TPU composites shows a marked increase in the ultimate tensile strength without compromising their ductility and stiffness.
