AB  - The formation of a segregated network structure (wittingly uneven distribution of 
      a filler) is one of the most promising strategies for the fabrication of 
      electrically conductive polymer composites at present. However, the simultaneous 
      achievement of high values of electrical conductivity with the retention of well 
      mechanical properties within this approach remains a great challenge. Here, by 
      means of X-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS), near-edge X-ray absorption fine 
      structure (NEXAFS) spectra, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), dielectric 
      spectroscopy, and compression engineering stress-strain curve analysis, we have 
      studied the effect of a segregated network structure on the electrical 
      conductivity and mechanical properties of a set of polymer composites. The 
      composites were prepared by applying graphene oxide (GO) with ultralarge basal 
      plane size (up to 150 mum) onto the surface of polymer powder particles, namely, 
      poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC), poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-tetrafluoroethylene) 
      (P(VDF-TFE)), and ultrahigh-molecular-weight poly(ethylene) (UHMWPE) with the 
      subsequent GO reduction and composite hot pressing. A strong dependence of the 
      segregated network polymer composites' physical properties on the polymer matrix 
      was demonstrated. Particularly, 12 orders of magnitude rise of the polymers' 
      electrical conductivity up to 0.7 S/m was found upon the incorporation of the 
      reduced GO (rGO). A 17% increase in the P(VDF-TFE) elastic modulus filled by 1 wt 
      % of rGO was observed. Fracture strength of PVC/rGO at 0.5 wt % content of the 
      filler was demonstrated to decrease by fourfold. At the same time, the change in 
      strength was not significant for P(VDF-TFE) and UHMWPE composites in comparison 
      with pure polymers. Our results show a promise to accelerate the development of 
      new composites for energy applications, such as metal-free supercapacitor plates 
      and current collectors of lithium-ion batteries, bipolar plates of 
      proton-exchange membrane fuel cells, antistatic elements of various electronic 
      devices, etc.
