Graphene-Based Nanocomposites for Structural Applications
Lars Eriksson, Maria Lindholm
In: Advanced Materials Science and Nanotechnology
This paper investigates the mechanical properties of polymer matrix composites reinforced with graphene and graphene oxide nanoplatelets. We examine dispersion methods, interface chemistry, and manufacturing process effects on tensile strength, fracture toughness, and fatigue life. Molecular dynamics simulations complement experimental characterization using SEM, TEM, and Raman spectroscopy.
