Polycaprolactone/graphite nanoplates composite nanopapers
Kun Li, Daniele Battegazzore, Orietta Monticelli +1
Nanopapers based on graphene and related materials were recently proposed for application in heat spreader applications. To overcome typical limitations in brittleness of such mate…
Edge-Grafted Molecular Junctions between Graphene Nanoplatelets: Applied Chemistry to Enhance Heat Transfer in Nanomaterials
M. Mar Bernal, Alessandro Di Pierro, Chiara Novara +4
The edge-functionalization of graphene nanoplatelets (GnP) was carried out exploiting diazonium chemistry, aiming at the synthesis of edge decorated nanoparticles to be used as bui…
Thermally and Electrically Conductive Nanopapers from Reduced Graphene Oxide: effect of nanoflakes thermal annealing on the film structure and properties
Maria del Mar Bernal, Mauro Tortello, Samuele Colonnaa +2
In this study, we report a different strategy to prepare graphene nanopapers from direct vacuum filtration. Instead of the conventional method, i.e. thermal annealing nanopapers at…
Super nucleation and orientation of poly (butylene terephthalate) crystals in nanocomposites containing highly reduced graphene oxide
