Forthcoming and Online First Articles

International Journal of Collaborative Engineering

International Journal of Collaborative Engineering (IJCE)

Forthcoming articles have been peer-reviewed and accepted for publication but are pending final changes, are not yet published and may not appear here in their final order of publication until they are assigned to issues. Therefore, the content conforms to our standards but the presentation (e.g. typesetting and proof-reading) is not necessarily up to the Inderscience standard. Additionally, titles, authors, abstracts and keywords may change before publication. Articles will not be published until the final proofs are validated by their authors.

Forthcoming articles must be purchased for the purposes of research, teaching and private study only. These articles can be cited using the expression "in press". For example: Smith, J. (in press). Article Title. Journal Title.

Online First articles are published online here, before they appear in a journal issue. Online First articles are fully citeable, complete with a DOI. They can be cited, read, and downloaded. Online First articles are published as Open Access (OA) articles to make the latest research available as early as possible.

Open AccessArticles marked with this Open Access icon are Online First articles. They are freely available and openly accessible to all without any restriction except the ones stated in their respective CC licenses.

  • The Preparation and Conductivity of Graphene Polymer Composite Materials   Order a copy of this article
    by Lars Mumtaz 
    Abstract: To improve the comprehensive performance of graphene polymer composites, the preparation and conductivity of graphene polymer composite materials were studied. Mix graphene and polyimide (PI) powder in a specific proportion in ethanol solvent, undergo solid-liquid separation, and dry in an oven. After ball milling, obtain PI/graphene composite particles, and complete material preparation by moulding the composite material. By analysing the conductivity of the material, it can be concluded that as the graphene content gradually increases, the intensity of the two characteristic peaks of PI gradually decreases and eventually disappears in the spectrum. The CV curve has a pair of oxidation-reduction peaks. When adding 0.5wt% graphene, the specific capacitance of the material reaches its maximum, with the lowest electrical resistivity of 1.6
