“…The increment in flexural strength for nanofiller decorated CE composite is a combined effect of these three phenomena. The high specific surface area of CNT and MLG converts into a very high interfacial area in the composite which further facilitate efficient stress transfer from the epoxy to the fiber through ultra‐strong CNT/MLG 42–44 . Also, MLG's wrinkled morphology may complement higher mechanical interlocking and adhesion with the polymer chain 45 .…”

In this article, modification of carbon fiber surface by carbon based nanofillers (multi‐walled carbon nanotubes [CNT], carbon nanofibers, and multi‐layered graphene) has been achieved by electrophoretic deposition technique to improve its interfacial bonding with epoxy matrix, with a target to improve the mechanical performance of carbon fiber reinforced polymer composites. Flexural and short beam shear properties of the composites were studied at extreme temperature conditions; in‐situ cryo, room and elevated temperature (−196, 30, and 120°C respectively). Laminate reinforced with CNT grafted carbon fibers exhibited highest delamination resistance with maximum improvement in flexural strength as well as in inter‐laminar shear strength (ILSS) among all the carbon fiber reinforced epoxy (CE) composites at all in‐situ temperatures. CNT modified CE composite showed increment of 9% in flexural strength and 17.43% in ILSS when compared to that of unmodified CE composite at room temperature (30°C). Thermomechanical properties were investigated using dynamic mechanical analysis. Fractography was also carried out to study different modes of failure of the composites.

“…Graphene can be manufactured by the exfoliation of graphite as a single layer, double layers, multilayers. The faith is increased in graphene outstanding has greater characteristics that high strength (1.0 TPa) [3] stiffness (0.7 TPa), thermal conductivity 3500 Wm -1 K -1 and surface area (2630 m 2 /g) [10], [11], optical transmittance (97.7%) [12], electrical conductivity the recent density of 108 A/cm 2 and able to carrying densities of electrical higher than copper [13]. Researchers belong to the field of polymer composites that preferred graphene as a reinforcing element due to its outstanding mechanical and thermal properties [14].…”

The effect of carboxyl (–COOH) functionalized graphene (FG) on the mechanical properties of its epoxy-based nanocomposites has been investigated by Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations. Simulations cells of nanocomposites with varying wt% of FG (1, 2 & 3 wt%) were constructed using Material Studio 6.0. Obtained MD simulation results show improved mechanical properties such as elastic modulus, bulk modulus, shear modulus, and the Poisson ratio of the FG/epoxy nanocomposites than that of pure epoxy. Moreover, the computational results of nanocomposites have also been validated well with existing experimental data. Therefore, the current MD simulation shows a decent computational sign for the existing experimental and simulation outcomes on mechanical properties of FG/epoxy nanocomposites.

“…Graphene oxide (GO) can be converted into reduced GO (rGO) after removing the oxygen groups by reducing agent to attain materials with properties very close to graphene. Compared to the platelet-like surface of graphite, wrinkled, layered flakes, and crumpled thin sheets were observed on the surfaces of GO and rGO, respectively [7] , [8] . Being a single layer sp 2 hybridized carbon atoms; graphene has a high specific surface area to volume ratio [9] , [10] .…”
