“…35,36 Shear mixing, ultrasonication, ball milling, extrusion, and calendaring are the indirect methods, while powder spreading, chemical grafting, nano-stitching, transfer printing, interleaving, and electrophoretic deposition are the direct methods. [35][36][37] Ultrasonication, which is the process of agitating particulates in a solution with ultrasonic energy, has been widely used for the dispersion of nanoparticles in epoxy polymer matrix. [38][39][40] Yang et al 41 reported that because of their high contact surface area and high aspect ratio, 2-D multi-graphene platelets (MGNPs) are a better reinforcement material than 1-D MWCNTs to improve the mechanical and thermal properties of epoxy nanocomposites.…”
