Few layer graphene to reduce wear and friction on sliding steel surfaces (2013, background): “The tribological properties of graphene are relatively unexplored, and the few studies published in the open literature have mainly focused on the nano-and micro-scale aspects [6–8] in particular using the friction force microscopy technique [9,10].”
Mechanical and tribological properties of self-lubricating metal matrix nanocomposites reinforced by carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and graphene – A review (2015, background): “98 TPa and intrinsic tensile strength is 126 and 101 GPa, respectively [72].”
Graphene-reinforced metal matrix nanocomposites – a review (2016, background): “It has some exceptional properties: excellent electric properties,(5) high thermal conductivity,(6) high Young’s modulus(7) and high tensile stress.(8) Additionally, graphene is extremely light; the density of it was estimated to be as low as 1.”
Mechanical properties of two-dimensional materials and their applications (2018, background): “However, the elastic modulus and fracture strength of graphene decreases with increasing numbers of layers [35, 121, 122].”
