Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) nanocomposites were successfully prepared by solvent casting approach using graphene oxide (GO) and 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane-graphene oxide (APTES-GO) as nanofillers. Field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) revealed that the PVDF nanocomposites exhibite...
