Here we demonstrate the promising tunneling property of electrons across quasi-graphene/pvdf (polyvinylidene fluoride) through the coulomb blockade region. melt-mixing technique is used to prepare such nanocomposite by mixing nanofiller into the polymer matrix. the structure and surface morphology are studied using x-ray diffraction (xrd) and field-emission scanning electron microscopy (fesem) measurements, which show defects oriented in the sample while the binding of matrix with nanofiller remains highly conductive in nature. tunneling properties of quasi-graphene/pvdf are studied using scanning tunneling microscopy (stm) measurements, which indicate high resistance at the coulomb blockade region. potential aspects of quasi-graphene/pvdf as a flexible material for device applications are also discussed.
