TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of dispersion state of graphene on mechanical properties of graphene/epoxy composites was investigated, and it was found that the composites with highly dispersed RGO showed higher glass transition temperature (T g ) and strength than those with poorly-dispersed RGO.

TL;DR: In this paper, the surface functionalization of DGEBA layer was found to effectively improve the compatibility and dispersion of GO sheets in epoxy matrix, and increased glass transition temperature and thermal stability was also observed in the dynamic mechanical properties and thermo-gravimetric analysis.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of as-produced GO and silane functionalized GO (silane-f-GO) loading and functionalization on the mechanical properties of epoxy composites are investigated and compared.

TL;DR: In this article, a facile surfactant-assisted process was used to improve the dispersion and exfoliation level of highly dispersed graphene in epoxy composites, resulting in increased tensile properties compared with those without surface modification.

TL;DR: In this article, a facile approach to the fabrication of advanced polymeric nanocomposites of epoxy by the incorporation of polyetheramine-functionalized graphene oxide (PEA-f-GO) was reported.
