Latex and two-roll mill processing of thermally-exfoliated graphite oxide/natural rubber nanocomposites (2013, background): “Tactoids consisting of many parallel, closely-spaced platelets would lower the average Af if considered as a single particle, and such a morphology would be less effective for reinforcement compared with well-exfoliated and homogeneously-dispersed platelets as it would restrict the ability of the ch”
Thermomechanical properties of chemically modified graphene/poly(methyl methacrylate) composites made by in situ polymerization (2011, background): “theory [27,28] (details on this calculation are in Supplementary Information), which assumes unidirectional, ellipsoidal platelets and neglects possible contribution of the interphase [29].”
