From Graphene to Carbon Fibres: Mechanical Deformation and Development of a Universal Stress Sensor
Otakar Frank, Georgia Tsoukleri, Ibtsam Riaz +6
Carbon fibres (CF) represent a significant volume fraction of modern structural airframes. Embedded into polymer matrices, they provide significant strength and stiffness gains ove…
Hunting for Monolayer Boron Nitride: Optical and Raman Signatures
R. V. Gorbachev, I. Riaz, R. R. Nair +9
We describe the identification of single- and few- layer boron nitride. Its optical contrast is much smaller than that of graphene but even monolayers are discernable by optimizing…
Interfacial Stress Transfer in a Graphene Monolayer Nanocomposite
L. Gong, I. A. Kinloch, R. J. Young +3
Graphene is one of the stiffest known materials, with a Young's modulus of 1 TPa, making it an ideal candidate for use as a reinforcement in high-performance composites. However, b…
Compression Behavior of Single-layer Graphene
Otakar Frank, Georgia Tsoukleri, John Parthenios +5
Central to most applications involving monolayer graphene is its mechanical response under various stress states. To date most of the work reported is of theoretical nature and ref…
Fluorographene: Two Dimensional Counterpart of Teflon
R. R. Nair, W. C. Ren, R. Jalil +16
We report a stoichiometric derivative of graphene with a fluorine atom attached to each carbon. Raman, optical, structural, micromechanical and transport studies show that the mate…
