A highly electrically conductive linear low‐density polyethylene/graphene nanoplate composite with segregated structure (s‐LLDPE/GN) was prepared by Yongmei Ma and colleagues through an environmentally friendly method. First, GN coated LLDPE granules were prepared by aqueous dispersion, gradually drying. SEM images show that GN has been successfully coated on the LLDPE granule surfaces. Then, the s‐LLDPE/GN composites were obtained by melting and self‐leveling without extra pressure. In addition, the electrical conductivity of the composite increases to 4.5 S/m when the GN content is 1.0 wt%, and the facile and green process in this method can be applied in many other polymer composites.
