Abstract
The present invention relates to a method of making a composite material, the method comprising: (1) forming a Pickering emulsion comprising a continuous liquid phase, a discontinuous liquid phase, and a 2D material; wherein the discontinuous liquid phase comprises a polysiloxane and a curing agent; (2) leaving the Pickering emulsion formed in step (1) in a sealed system for sufficient time to at least partially cure the polysiloxane; and (3) allowing any remaining liquid to evaporate.
