The processing capability is vital for the wide appli-cations of materials to forge structures as-demand.Graphene-based macroscopic materials have shown excellent mechanical and func-tional properties.However,different from usual polymers and met-als,graphene solids exhibit limited deformability and processibility for precise forming.Here,we present a precise thermoplastic forming of graphene materials by polymer intercalation from graphene oxide(GO) precursor.The intercalated polymer enables the thermoplastic-ity of GO solids by thermally activated motion of polymer chains.We detect a critical minimum containing of intercalated polymer that can expand the interlayer spacing exceeding 1.4 nm to activate thermoplasticity,which becomes the criteria for thermal plastic forming of GO solids.By thermoplastic forming,the flat GO-composite films are forged to Gaussian curved shapes and imprinted to have surface relief patterns with size precision down to 360 nm.The plastic-formed structures maintain the structural integration with outstanding electrical(3.07 × 105 S m-1) and thermal conductivity (745.65 W m-1 K-1) after removal of polymers.The thermoplastic strategy greatly extends the forming capability of GO materials and other layered materials and promises versatile structural designs for more broad applications.
