Graphene nanoplatelets loaded polyurethane and phenolic resin fibres by combination of pressure and gyration

Synthesis and mechanical properties of double cross-linked gelatin-graphene oxide hydrogels

“…The hydrogels exhibited a 71% increase in tensile strength (150-250 kPa) when containing 90 wt% water, by the addition of 0.3 wt% GO [19]. The same group reported that PAA-gelatin-GO nanocomposite hydrogels with different compositions showed a high compressive strength (7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26) MPa) at a water content of 29-51 wt% [20]. Gelatin methacrylate-GO composite hydrogels, which exhibited a fracture strength in compression of 91-501 kPa with 94.…”

“…Since it was first reported in 2004, graphene has drawn substantial attention of scientists due to its intriguing properties [13,14]. Graphene oxide (GO), a graphene derivative, exhibits a large surface area, a high aspect ratio, and exceptional mechanical properties, while bearing plenty of oxygen-containing groups on their monolayer two-dimensional sheets [13].…”

Enhanced adhesion between glass, carbon, and their hybrid fiber‐bundle with epoxy at room and elevated temperatures: A comparative study between graphene and MWCNT filled interface strategies

“…Attributed to the outstanding ideal properties, graphene has been considered to be a promising and exciting research nanomaterial . The incorporation of graphene in polymer could result in improved performance due to the super interfacial interactions between polymers and graphene‐based materials .…”

Rotary jet spinning review – a potential high yield future for polymer nanofibers

“…This is exactly what Edirisinghe and co-workers did when spinning several materials from solution under a pressure of up to 300 kPa and 36,000 rpm, being the capability of their in-house built system. 153,165,168,170,171,[206][207][208][209][210] The benefits of this system include the use of a wider range of polymer viscosities due to added pressure forcing flow through the spinneret dies, rather than relying purely on centrifugal force generated by the rotation velocity. This system does not however seem to produce fibers consistently in the nanoscale.…”

“…For pressure driven systems see. 153,170,171 Solution spinning does not rely on elevated temperatures as they are typically spun at room temperature. Instead of temperature, the reliance here will be on solution concentration and how it affects morphology of the fibers in the RJS process, as shown by Badrossamay et al in Figure 12.…”
