Fabrication and Characterization of Epoxy Nanocomposites with Graphenes

摘要

Summary. Present research analyzed the manufacturing, using high speed rotational stirring and calendering as dispersion methods, of epoxy resins nanodoped with variable contents graphene (from 0.5 to 3.0 wt. %) of different kinds of graphenes characterized by their different particle size and number of graphemc layers. Produced nanocomposites were structurally, thermal and thermomechanically characterized. Effects of processing variables and graphene structural characteristics on nanocomposite properties have been evaluated.
