Abstract

The graphene-based polymer nanocomposite is an outstanding material which is attracting researcher’s and scientists’ attention due to its fascinating physicochemical and thermo-mechanical properties. Even it has been a decade after its discovery, scientists are still exploring the hidden potentials of this material. The present chapter summarizes the most recent studies on the modification of graphene with polymers and the subsequent synthesis and applications of high-quality graphene-polymer nanocomposites. The chapter started with an introduction followed by historical background, conventional and green fabrication strategies for producing high-quality graphene based-polymer nanocomposites including various covalent and non-covalent techniques are summarized and discussed. Finally, the graphene-polymer nanocomposites catalyzed photo-degradation of organic pollutants (OPs) like dyes, pesticides, insecticide for water purification, and future perspective is presented herewith.
