Graphene-polymer nanocomposites for structural and functional applications (2014, background): “materials into single-layer graphene oxide sheets that results in better graphene oxide dispersion in the polymer matrix [157].”
Characterizing mechanical properties of graphite using molecular dynamics simulation (2009, background): “However, the stacked graphene structures (so called graphite flakes) are commonly observed in TEM micrographs and XRD examination [5], and it is a challenging task to fully exfoliate the aggregated graphene sheets.”
Polymer Nanocomposites—A Comparison between Carbon Nanotubes, Graphene, and Clay as Nanofillers (2016, background): “Tensile strength has generally also been shown to increase with increase in graphene content, though there are instances when tensile strength decreased [254].”
Mechanical characterization of graphite/epoxy nanocomposites by multi-scale analysis (2007, background): “Graphite platelets are often used in polymeric matrices to enhance mechanical properties and impart physical functionalities such as electrical and thermal conductivities [1–4].”
The production and properties of polylactide composites filled with expanded graphite (2010, methodology): “At the same time, many works have been devoted to the exfoliation of previously intercalated graphite using different methods [19,23,24]: microwaves, radiofrequency wave treatment, sonication, milling, etc.”
