Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention relate to fuel system components comprising polymer compositions containing functionalized graphene sheets. In one embodiment, the fuel system component can comprise a plurality of layers affixed to the fuel system component comprising one or more first layers and one or more second layers. The fuel system component in direct contact with one or more fuels or provides one or more paths to ground from one or more second components that is in direct contact with flowing fuel. The fuel can be a liquid fuel. Each first layer can comprise at least one of a metal, a fiber, and a woven material. Each second layer can comprise a composition of one or more polymers and fully exfoliated single sheets of graphene having a carbon to oxygen molar ration of at least 50:1.
