7.1 Introduction

Graphene‐polymer nanocomposites are widely studied by researchers. But relatively fewer attempts are made with polymer lattices. Furthermore, latex route preparation of graphene nanocomposites offer several advantages such as ease of processing, improved compatibilization between polymer and filler, and excellent wet gel strength, compared to conventional nanocomposites. Therefore, latex‐based graphene nanocomposites can be explored for potential applications such as energy storage, improved barrier properties, etc. Most recent advancements happening in latex‐graphene ...
