Abstract
A 1.0 wt.% graphene reinforced aluminum 6061 (Al6061) composite was synthesized to investigate the effects of graphene dispersion by ball milling technique. The Al6061 powder and graphene were ball milled at different milling times. The composites were then synthesized by hot compaction in the semi-solid regime of the Al6061. A three point bending test was performed to characterize the mechanical properties of the composite. The ball milled powder and the fracture surfaces of the composites were analyzed using the scanning electron microscopy. A maximum enhancement of 47% in flexural strength was observed when compared with the reference Al6061 processed at the same condition.

Enhanced plasmonic photocatalytic performance of C3N4/Cu by the introduction of a reduced graphene oxide interlayer.

TL;DR: In this paper , a highly conductive reduced graphene oxide (RGO) interlayer is introduced between protonated C3N4 (PCN) nanosheets and Cu NPs, which can act as an efficient sink for photogenerated electrons from CN4 and hot electrons from CU NPs and simultaneously serve as reaction sites for the hydrogen evolution reaction.

Measurements of near-ultimate strength for multiwalled carbon nanotubes and irradiation-induced crosslinking improvements.

TL;DR: Multiwalled carbon nanotubes with a mean fracture strength >100 GPa are reported, which exceeds earlier observations by a factor of approximately three and are in excellent agreement with quantum-mechanical estimates for nanot tubes containing only an occasional vacancy defect, and are approximately 80% of the values expected for defect-free tubes.
