In this paper, a reduced graphene oxide/polypropylene (rGO/PP) dielectric composite with high dielectric constant and low dielectric loss at a low filler content was prepared constructing a segregated moderately-reduced graphene network by encapsulation of GO on PP latex particles and subsequent reduction of GO by hydrazine hydrate. GO/PP latex was prepared through artificial PP latex preparation in the presence of GO based on the solution-emulsification technique. As the emulsification proceeded, GO could self-assemble to become encapsulated on the surface of PP latex particles composed of PP and maleic-anhydride-grafted-PP because of the hydrogen bonding interaction between maleic-anhydride-grafted-PP and GO nanosheets. After reduction, the rGO encapsulated PP latex particles were obtained, and after coagulation and hot pressing, a segregated graphene network was achieved at a low content of rGO, demonstrated by TEM images. The dielectric constant at 1 kHz obviously increased from 3.28 for PP to 55.8 for the composite with 1.5 wt% rGO. The dielectric loss of the composite was retained at a low value (1.04). This study provides a new simple and effective strategy for preparing high-performance dielectric composites with high dielectric constant and low dielectric loss, facilitating the wide application of dielectric materials.
