- This paper reports a new method for producing conductive graphene biopolymer nanofibrous fabrics, which opens up a new route for conductive enhancement of biopolymer nanofibers to be used in smart (bio) electronic devices. It has inspired others to use our technology, e.g., to prepare conductive MWCNTs-Graphene-Cellulose Fibres with Ionic Liquids (DOI: 10.1021/acssuschemeng.9b05489), to develop cellulose composites with graphene for tissue engineering applications (https://doi.org/10.3390/ma13235347). The publication has led to an invited talk at the 13th International Conference on Advanced Polymers via Macromolecular Engineering (AMPE2019) in Stellenbosch, South Africa and an invited review in Soft Matter on electrospinning block copolymers (DOI: 10.1039/C8SM02484G.
