TL;DR: In this paper, two types of epoxy/GP nanocomposites with different interface strength using the combination of sonication and chemical modification were synthesized, and the surface modified graphene platelets (m -GP) formed clusters, showing a higher degree of dispersion and exfoliation of graphene.

TL;DR: In this paper, a facile approach to fabricating covalently modified graphehehe and its polymer nanocomposites is presented, which employs a common furnace, rather than a furnace installed with a quartz tube and operated in inert gas as required in previous studies, to treat a commercial graphite interrelation compound with thermal shocking and ultrasonication and fabricate graphene platelets (GnPs) with a thickness of 2.51+-0.39nm.

TL;DR: A potential trend is pointed out where GnPs would replace carbon nanotubes and silicate layers for many applications of polymer nanocomposites due to its exceptionally high mechanical performance and electrical and thermal conductivity.

TL;DR: This simple fabrication of 3.56 nm thick graphene platelets of high structural integrity to melt compound with an elastomer-ethylene-propylene-diene monomer rubber (EPDM) would prolong the service life of elastomers used in dynamic loading, thus reducing thermosetting waste in the environment.

TL;DR: In this article, a covalently modified 3-nm thick graphene platelets (GnPs) by the reaction between the GnPs' epoxide groups and the end-amine groups of a commercial long-chain surfactant (M w ǫ = 2000), compounded the modified platelets with a model polymer epoxy, and investigated the structure and properties of both m -GNPs and their epoxy composites.
