Described herein are transparent nanocomposite barrier films based on graphene and polymers that provide gas resistance, liquid and / or vapor resistance. Also described is a barrier film in which the graphene may be selected from reduced graphene oxide, graphene oxide, and the graphene is functionalized or crosslinked. Also described is a barrier film in which the cross-linking to provide improved water resistance is between graphene and / or polymer. Also described is a barrier device carrying a barrier film, the barrier device further comprising a substrate surrounding the barrier film and a protective coating. Also described are methods of manufacturing the barrier films and related devices described above. [Selection figure] None |
