Abstract:A new generation of carbon-based materials such as graphene and graphene oxide (GO) have been widely studied due to their potential in a variety of applications including biomedical materials and devices. This work investigates the appropriate GO morphology and content to be used as a filler for a poly(carbonate urethane) (PCU) polymer in order to mechanical properties improvements. Two graphene oxides with different levels of oxidation and morphology were blended into a PCU matrix to obtain high mechanical pe… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
