Deformation and tearing of graphene-reinforced elastomer nanocomposites
Mufeng Liu, Jason H. Hui, Ian A. Kinloch +2
The resistance to failure through tearing is a crucial mechanical property for the application of different elastomers. In this work, graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) were introduced…
Strain Engineering in Monolayer WS2 and WS2 Nanocomposites
Fang Wang, Suhao Li, Mark A. Bissett +3
There has been a massive growth in the study of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) over the past decade, based upon their interesting and unusual electronic, optical and mecha…
Multifunctional Biocomposites based on Polyhydroxyalkanoate and Graphene/Carbon-Nanofiber Hybrids for Electrical and Thermal Applications
Pietro Cataldi, Pietro Steiner, Thomas Raine +6
Most polymers are long-lasting and produced from monomers derived from fossil fuel sources. Bio-based and/or biodegradable plastics have been proposed as a sustainable alternative.…
Graphene-Polyurethane Coatings for Deformable Conductors and Electromagnetic Interference Shielding
Pietro Cataldi, Dimitrios G. Papageorgiou, Gergo Pinter +5
Electrically conductive, polymeric materials that maintain their conductivity even when under significant mechanical deformation are needed for actuator electrodes, conformable ele…
Realising biaxial reinforcement via orientation-induced anisotropic swelling in graphene-based elastomers
Mufeng Liu, Ian A. Kinloch, Robert J. Young +1
The biaxial mechanical properties constitute another remarkable advantage of graphene, but their evaluation has been overlooked in polymer nanocomposites. Herein, we provided an in…
Anisotropic swelling of elastomers filled with aligned 2D materials
Mufeng Liu, Suhao Li, Ian A. Kinloch +2
A comprehensive study has been undertaken on the dimensional swelling of graphene-reinforced elastomers in liquids. Anisotropic swelling was observed for samples reinforced with gr…
