Effect of flake size on the mechanical properties of graphene aerogels prepared by freeze casting

Abstract: Graphene flake size has a profound effect on the mechanical performance of the assembled graphene aerogels, particularly their strength, modulus and fatigue resistance under compression.

“…Additionally, several other methods report, GO could be reduced to reduced GO (rGO) and isolate as a monolayer by ascorbic acid (AA), where overall flake sizes are 10–60 μm [ 59 ]. GO monolayer could be isolated using a mixture of poly-vinyl alcohol and H 2 O mixture where flake sizes differ from 1–80 μm, although the size of the flakes would be controlled by duration of sonication as well as temperature at the time of sonication [ 60 ]. Further investigation is required to explore the ability of these solvents in isolating large planar GO flakes, and it is our next target in the future.…”
