Physical and mechanical properties of poly(methyl methacrylate) -functionalized graphene/poly(vinylidine fluoride) nanocomposites: Piezoelectric β polymorph formation

Orientation dependence of the fracture behavior of graphene

“…Naturally, such superlative properties of graphene have triggered its active application to a wide range of engineering fields. For instance, there have been numerous studies to improve the mechanical strengths [8][9][10], thermal properties [11][12][13], and energy conversion efficiencies [14][15][16] of materials by incorporating graphene into them. One of the most featured applications is the use of graphene as a supporting film for a liquid cell in transmission electron microscopy (TEM) studies [17].…”

Non-covalent modification of graphene sheets in PEDOT composite materials by ionic liquids

“…Additionally, complete reduction could be guaranteed due to the broad electrochemical window of the IL used as electrolyte. Such a post-electrochemical reduction method showed no polymer degradation, as is often the case in chemical reductions involving strong reducing agents and high processing temperatures [26]. Upon solvent exchange to ILs GO could be easily dispersed at high concentrations showing no precipitation even after long time storage.…”

Stretchable quaternary phasic PVDF-HFP nanocomposite films containing graphene-titania-SrTiO3 for mechanical energy harvesting

“…Prabakaran et al varied the concentration of silane treated TiO 2 in PVDF-HFP by 4-20 wt.% and observed a two fold increase in dielectric constant [19]. With the emergence of carbonaceous fillers such as carbon nanotubes and graphene, such composites of PVDF-HFP are also well reported for their increased electrical conductivity [15,16,[20][21][22].…”
