Epoxy/graphene platelets nanocomposites with two levels of interface strength

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.

Barrier properties of model epoxy nanocomposites

TL;DR: In this paper, the barrier properties of two sets of model epoxy nanocomposites with variations in nanoplatelet exfoliation level and aspect ratio have been investigated, and the results show that both the exfolation level and the aspect ratio of nanoplatelets have a significant effect on the nanocompositionite barrier properties.
