We report that few graphene flakes embedded into polymer matrices can be mechanically stretched to relatively large deformation (1%) in an efficient way by adopting a particular ladder-like morphology consisting of consecutive mono-, bi-, tri-, and four-layer graphene units. In this type of flake architecture, all of the layers adhere to the surrounding polymer inducing similar deformation on the individual graphene layers, preventing interlayer sliding and optimizing the strain transfer efficiency. We have exploited Raman spectro
