  Polymer nanocomposites based on 2D materials as fillers are the target in the
industrial sector, but the ability to manufacture them on a large scale is very
limited, and there is a lack of tools to scale up the manufacturing process of
these nanocomposites. Here, for the first time, a systematic and fundamental
study showing how 2D materials are inserted into the polymeric matrix in order
to obtain nanocomposites using conventional and industrially scalable polymer
processing machines leading to large-scale manufacturing are described. Two new
strategies were used to insert pre-exfoliated 2D material into the polymer
matrix, liquid-phase feeder, and solid-solid deposition. Characterizations were
beyond micro and nanoscale, allowing the evaluation of the morphology for
millimeter samples size. The methodologies described here are extendable to all
thermoplastic polymers and 2D materials providing nanocomposites with suitable
morphology to obtain singular properties and also triggering the start of the
manufacturing process on a large scale.
