Graphene and its derivatives have attracted huge attention due to their excellent physical properties such as high in-plane Young’s modulus, extraordinary electrical and thermal properties. Graphene has been widely used as reinforcing nanofiller for high-performance polymer or metal nanocomposites. However, owing to its two-dimensional (2D) structure, graphene is brittle and cannot withstand large deformation under external loading, which limits its application in load bearing components. Recently, origami and kirigami structures have been introduced in nanotechnology and they are able to effectively tailor the properties of graphene. This work aims to review and summarize recent advances on graphene with origami or kirigami structures, graphene reinforced polymer nanocomposites and graphene origami (GOri) reinforced nanocomposites. The influence of graphene configuration including origami and kirigami structures, layer number, defects and functionalization on the properties of nanocomposites reinforced by graphene or GOri is critically reviewed. Emphasis will be placed on the mechanical and thermal properties, and their applications in nanocomposites. Research challenges and future work will also be discussed to provide a constructive guidance for further work in this emerging area.
