In this present study, graphene oxide (GO) was used as a secondary chain extender and a functional modification assistant to fabricate a three-dimensional nanocomposite (GO-WPU) with waterborne polyurethane (WPU) through the prepolymer dispersion. The tensile strength and elastic modulus of GO-WPU with 0.2[Formula: see text]wt.% GO content, compared with those of pure WPU, increase by 170.38% and 50.9%, respectively. Even with a small amount of GO content added, the ultraviolet absorption rate significantly increased, whereas the ultraviolet transmittance decreased significantly. Other properties such as thermal stability and so on were also much enhanced. These results suggested that the functional nanocomposite GO-WPU prepared through the prepolymer dispersion will be an effective fabrication approach and have a wider scope of applications in functional coating materials and film materials.

<p>A graphene-based or carbon-based aerogel is a three-dimensional (3D) solid material in which the carbon atoms are arranged in a sheet-like nanostructure. In this study, we report the synthesis of low-density polymer-modified aerogel monoliths by 3D macro-assemblies of graphene oxide sheets that exhibit significant internal surface areas (982 m<sup>2</sup>/g) and high electrical conductivity (∼0.1 to 1 × 10<sup>2</sup> S/cm). Different types of materials were prepared to obtain a single monolithic solid starting from a suspension of single-layer graphene oxide (GO) sheets, and a polymer, made from the precursors 4-carboxybenzaldehyde and polyvinyl alcohol. These materials were used to cross-link the individual sheets by covalent bonds, resulting in wet-gels that were supercritically dried and then, in some cases, thermally reduced to yield graphene aerogel composites. The average densities were approaching 15-20 mg/cm<sup>3</sup>. This approach allowed for the modulation of distance between the sheets, pore dimension, surface area, and related properties. This specific GO/Polymer ratio has suitable malleability making it a viable candidate for use in conductivity 3D printing; it also has other properties suitable for energy storage, catalysis, sensing and biosensing applications, bioelectronics, and superconductors.</p>
