- Abstract
Immense research efforts on graphene or graphene oxide have led to the formation of unique nanocarbon derived nanomaterials. Graphene and graphene oxide have been reinforced in polymeric matrices to form high performance nanocomposites. Significant applications of polymer nanocomposites with graphene or graphene oxide were experiential for nanofiber formation and ensuing membranes. This overview highlights design, essential features, and potential of graphene or graphene oxide derived nanocomposite nanofibrous membranes for water remediation permeation towards contaminates, salts, toxins, microbials, and other separation purposes. Here, polymer filled graphene or graphene oxide nanocomposites have been processed into nanofibers using appropriate techniques such as electrospinning, wet spinning, template method, etc. Afterwards, polymer/graphene and polymer/graphene oxide nanofiber nanocomposites were applied to form the nanocomposite membranes using appropriate techniques like solution processing, casting methods, infiltration, etc. Consequently, high performance membranes have been researched for technological purposes, especially water management competence. Future research on polymer/graphene nanofibrous membranes may lead to highly efficient systems for commercial and industrial level uses.
