Electrical conductivity of unidirectional carbon fiber composites with epoxy-graphene matrix

Effect of Surface Modification on Thermal Stability, Flexural Properties, and Impact Strength of Epoxy/Graphene Nanocomposites

“…However, GE is easily agglomerated in the polymer matrix. This problem can be solved by surface treatment or surface modification, such as chemical oxidation, ozone treatment, plasma treatment, or polymer coating …”

“…This problem can be solved by surface treatment or surface modification, such as chemical oxidation, ozone treatment, plasma treatment, or polymer coating. [16][17][18][19][20] In this study, the surface of GE was modified using a silane coupling agent to improve the dispersibility of GE in an epoxy matrix. The effect of the GE content on the thermal stability, flexural properties, impact strength, and morphology of epoxy/GE nanocomposites was studied.…”

The electrical conductive behaviours of polymer-based three-phase composites prepared by spatial confining forced network assembly

“…This result primarily comes from the high aspect ratio of nanofillers which eases the direct physical contact of particles, leading to expeditious formation of a lattice-like structure. At the same time, the combination of micro and nanoparticles ensures a combined effect in the preparation of polymer composites [31][32][33][34]. This effect of fillers combination allows increasing the conductive properties of material that cannot be obtained by using these fillers separately.…”

Tensile Analysis of Fabric Reinforced Materials

“…These laminates were created with the aim to obtain materials with a low degree of flexibility. Prior to forming these materials, it had been established the type of the polymeric matrix and the types of fabrics which will be used to improve the degree of flexibility [8], the coefficient of thermal expansion [9] and the electrical conductivity [10][11][12].For the formation of the materials, bidirectional fabrics with simple netting were chosen, as they provide structural stability [13][14][15], ensuring mechanical resistance in both directions [16][17][18] and resistance to delamination [19], presenting considerable advantages. Glass fabrics have high corrosion resistance, good mechanical properties, dielectric properties, lower impact energy absorption capacity compared to aramid fabric and low cost [7,20].Aramid fibers have a unique combination of high strength, high modulus, tenacity and thermal stability.…”
