Monolithic epoxy, because of its brittleness, cannot prevent crack propagation and is
vulnerable to fracture. However, it is well established that when reinforced—especially by …

Graphene has recently attracted significant academic and industrial interest because of its
excellent performance in mechanical, electrical and thermal applications. Graphene can …

Epoxy based polymer nano-composite was prepared by dispersing graphite nano-platelets
(GNPs) using two different techniques: three-roll mill (3RM) and sonication combined with …

The recent discovery and synthesis of graphene materials have led to many applications in
various fields such as medicine, energy and environment. Here, we review the synthesis …

One of the main issues in the production of polymer nanocomposites is the dispersion state
of filler as multilayered graphene (MLG) and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) tend to agglomerate …

Depending on processing conditions, in-situ exfoliated graphite nanoplatelets (GNP) with
low defect content and average aspect ratios up to 300–1000 and thicknesses of 5–17 nm …

The propagation of low intensity ultrasound in a curing resin, acting as a high frequency
oscillatory excitation, has been recently proposed as an ultrasonic dynamic mechanical …

The thermal conductivity of epoxy resin composites filled with combustion-synthesized
hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) particles was investigated. The mixing of the composite …

The use of graphene materials, ie graphene oxide, reduced graphene oxide, graphene
nanoplatelets and their functionalized forms as fillers of epoxy composites, is reviewed. The …

Adhesion is attracting increasing interest in the aerospace field since composite materials
have become, together with aluminium alloys, the main structural materials for aircraft …
