Extraordinary physical properties of graphene sheets enable them to be an excellent reinforcement in polymer matrix. This research explores modeling of graphene polymer nanocomposites for prediction of electrical percolation threshold. Graphene sheets were assumed to be square in the simulation. To obtain percolation probability, a percolation model including site and bond and Monte Carlo technique were employed. The results of the simulation showed transition, from nonconducting material to conducting material, and increase of electrical conductivity with the increase of graphene loading in a polymer.
