In this work, graphene nanoplatelet (GNP) and copper nanoparticles (Cu NPs) were successfully incorporated into polystyrene (PS) via a solution casting approach, and a series of PS/GNP/Cu NPs nanocomposites were obtained. The present series’ structural, optical, and dielectric properties were deeply...
