The effect of strain-rate on the tensile and compressive behavior of graphene reinforced epoxy/nanocomposites

Mechanical behaviour of cyclic olefin copolymer/exfoliated graphite nanoplatelets nanocomposites foamed through supercritical carbon dioxide

“…Moreover, the fracture surface is irregular and jagged. Similar morphological features were also observed by Shadlou et al [46] and Kalaitzidou et al [33] on other xGnPbased nanocomposite systems. In Figure 5b and 5c the fracture surfaces of COC-xGnP-10_e90 and COCxGnP-10_e150 are reported.…”

“…At the same time, it promotes cell nucleation, increasing the cell density. In previous works of our group it was demonstrated how the nanofiller addition promotes a strong increase of the polymer viscosity in the molten state [45,46]. It is therefore reasonable to assume that xGnP can enhance the matrix viscosity above the glass transition temperature, thus hindering the expansion process.…”

Enhancing the thermal, electrical, and mechanical properties of silicone rubber by addition of graphene nanoplatelets

“…GNPs have attracted tremendous attention due to its unique thermal, electrical, and mechanical properties [3,4], which have very high thermal conductivity with 2-D structure for phonon transport and offer an interface contact area with polymer matrix resulting in the improvement of the various properties of the composite. GNPs are used as filler in epoxy resin [5,6], natural rubber [7,8] and other polymer matrix [9,10] to enhance their thermal, electrical, and mechanical properties. GNPs are the promising candidate material for the application in thermal management.…”

Preparation of Pd/GO/Ti electrode and its electrochemical degradation for 2,4-dichlorophenol

“…The graphene oxide's surface had a large number of oxygen radical active groups such as hydroxyl [16,17], epoxy group, carbonyl and carboxy which can be modified via applying specific materials including biomolecules, macromolecules and inorganic particles [18][19][20][21]. These groups could improve the capacity of charge transitivity [17,[22][23][24].…”
