TL;DR: In this article, the effects of different platelet sizes of the nanoplatelet reinforcement on the damage mechanisms of these nanocomposites were studied by scanning electron microscopy, and the morphology, mechanical, and thermal properties of the composites were investigated.

TL;DR: Carboxyl terminated butadiene acrylonitrile (CTBN) was added to epoxy resins to improve the fracture toughness, and then two different lateral dimensions of graphene nanoplatelets (GnPs), nominally as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of graphene nanoplatelets (GnPs) with two different lateral dimensions on the morphology, flexural, and thermo-mechanical properties of multiscale GnPs/glass fiber/epoxy composites was investigated.

TL;DR: A water-based method to fabricate strong, electrically and thermally conductive hybrid thin films (papers) made from the combination of graphene nanoplatelets (GnP) and cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) was demonstrated in this article.

TL;DR: In this article, a liquid rubber, amine-terminated poly(butadiene-co-acrylonitrile) and graphene nanoplatelets (GnPs) were successfully functionalized with ATBN by microscopic and spectroscopic techniques, and different amounts of ATBN-GnP and pristine GnP were individually incorporated into an epoxy resin to fabricate epoxy composites.
