TL;DR: Recently, carbonaceous nanofillers such as graphene and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) play a promising role due to their better structural, functional properties and broad range of applications in every field as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: A short review on basalt fibers used as a reinforcement material for composites and discusses them as an alternative to the use of glass fibers is presented in this paper, where an attempt to showcase the increasing trend in research publications and activity in the area of basalt fiber is also covered.

TL;DR: X-ray crystal analysis showed that the silver nanoparticles are highly crystalline and exhibit a cubic, face centered lattice with characteristic (111), (200), (220) and (311) orientations and anti-bacterial activity on E. coli and S. aureus demonstrated diminished bacterial growth with the development of well-defined inhibition zones.

TL;DR: A comprehensive review of the present trends in graphene research with an emphasis on graphene-based nanocomposites and their applications is provided in this article, which concludes with a discussion of the impact of graphene in composites and the future challenges to meeting industrial demands.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of silane functionalization was investigated on original, oxidized and silane-functionalized graphene-reinforced chitosan nanocomposite films exhibiting enhanced mechanical properties.
