Abstract:

Graphene is an ideal reinforcing material for fibers, and the dispersion of graphene and the interfacial interaction between the graphene and the polymer matrix are the key factors for priparing the composite fibers. Herein, the paper briefly reviews the research progress of graphene-based composite fibers home and abroad, including properties and functionality of graphene, as well as spinning proeess of graphene fiber and grapheve/polymer composite fibers, along with the fibers based on graphene/foexible chain polymers and graphene/rigid chain polymers. The graphene/polymer composite fibers are still in research due to the high cost and complicated preparatio process, and the composite system will play an important role in the fields of aviation lightweight materials, conductive fibers and heat resistant fibers with the fast development of preparation process.

Key words: graphene, fiber, high performance, nanocomposite
