Extreme mechanical reinforcement in graphene oxide based thin-film nanocomposites via covalently tailored nanofiller matrix compatibilization

Reduced Graphene Oxide–Epoxy Grafted Poly(Styrene-Co-Acrylate) Composites for Corrosion Protection of Mild Steel

“…However, because of strong van der Waals forces and high specific ratio, G, GO or rGO tend to easily aggregate each other, which greatly limits their functional development and industrial applications [5][6][7]. The chemical modification of G, GO or rGO is an efficient method to limit the aggregation, and at the same time, the anticorrosion performance of the nanocomposite coating is enhanced [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19].…”

Polyaniline/4-aminobenzoic acid was also employed by Chang to modify graphene, and the PANI(polyaniline)-G composite with 0.5 wt.% content can reduce the diffusion rate of water and oxygen to 22% and 24% [21].…”

Improving the fracture toughness properties of epoxy using graphene nanoplatelets at low filler content

“…18 The ability to improve the strength and fracture toughness of epoxy with the addition of GNPs at low loading content is a route undertaken by many researchers to face the engineering challenges of producing strong, lightweight materials. 2,10,19,20 Epoxy resins are widely used for many engineering applications, from composite wind turbine blades in the renewable energy sector to the highly complex structural parts for aircraft. [20][21][22] Developed in 1960s, the diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A (DGEBA) resin system is the most commonly used epoxy.…”

Effect of modified Mg2B2O5w on mechanical and friction properties of oil‐containing monomer casting nylon

“…At the same time, the phase interface between oil and MC nylon was obscured without the apparent phase separation, indicating that the two phases had excellent compatibility and strong interfacial adhesion. Thus, the maximization of interfacial contact resulted in effective stress transfer and relaxation in the interfacial region …”
