In this work, excellent improvement in mechanical properties was observed by incorporating graphene nanofillers in polyvinyl chloride via solution blending. About 63% increase in modulus and 19% increase in ultimate tensile strength were measured at 1.5 wt% nanofiller content while almost no drop in elongation at break was observed. POLYM.
