The improvement in current materials science has prompted a developing need to capture the peculiarities that determine the properties of materials and how they are processed on an atomistic level. Quantum mechanics laws control the interface among atoms and electrons; thus, exact and proficient techniques for fixing the major quantum-mechanical conditions for complex many-particle, many-electron frameworks should be created. Density functional theory (DFT) marks an unequivocal advance in these endeavours. DFT has had a rapid influence on quintessential and industrial research during the last decade. The DFT system describes periodic structural systems of 2D or 3D electronics with the utilization of Bloch's theorem in the direction of Kohn-Sham wavefunctions for the significant facilitation of these schemes. This article introduces and discusses the infinite systems modelling approach required for graphene-based polymer composites or their hybrids. Aiming to understand electronic structure computations as per physics, the impressions of band structures and atomic structure envisioned along with orbital predicted density states are beneficial. Convergence facets coupled with the basic functions number and the -points number are necessary to explain for every physicochemical characteristic in these materials. Proper utilization of DFT in graphene-based polymer composites for materials in EMI SE presents the potential of taking this niche to unprecedented heights within the next decades. The application of this system in graphene-based composites by researchers, along with their performance, is reviewed.
当前材料科学的进步引发了一种日益增长的需求,即要捕捉那些决定材料特性以及它们在原子层面如何被加工的独特之处。量子力学定律控制着原子与电子之间的界面;因此,需要开发精确且高效的技术来求解复杂多粒子、多电子体系的主要量子力学条件。密度泛函理论(DFT)在这些努力中标志着一项明确的进展。在过去十年里,DFT对基础研究和工业研究都产生了迅速的影响。DFT体系利用布洛赫定理,针对二维或三维电子的周期性结构体系,沿着科恩 - 沈(Kohn - Sham)波函数的方向进行描述,从而极大地简化了这些体系。本文介绍并讨论了基于石墨烯的聚合物复合材料或其杂化材料所需的无限体系建模方法。旨在从物理学角度理解电子结构计算,所设想的能带结构和原子结构以及轨道预测密度态的印象是有益的。对于这些材料中的每一个物理化学特性,都需要解释与基函数数量和k点数量相关的收敛方面。在基于石墨烯的聚合物复合材料中正确使用DFT来研究电磁干扰屏蔽效能(EMI SE)材料,展现了在未来几十年将这一细分领域提升到前所未有的高度的潜力。本文回顾了研究人员在基于石墨烯的复合材料中对该体系的应用及其性能。
