A facile method is presented to manufacture electrically conductive graphene-coated polyurethane foam (GPF) by dip-coating polyurethane (PU) foams in a graphene (GN) aqueous suspension containing cellulose nanowhisker (CNW) as dispersion assistant. The electrical conductivity of the GPF/epoxy compos...
