| Sumario: | Graphene has exceptional mechanical capabilities, making it a potential reinforcement material for polymer composites. It also has unique electrical and thermal properties, making it an appealing filler for multifunctional composites, particularly polymer matrix composites, due to its vitality and superior mechanical qualities. This chapter thoroughly examines current graphene research trends, focusing on graphene-based polymer nanocomposites, manufacturing, characteristics and applications. Graphene-based materials are single- or multi-layer platelets that may be mass produced using chemical, physical and mechanical processes. A range of technologies for producing graphene-based materials, as well as methods for dispersing these nanoparticles in different polymer matrices, are being examined. The electrical, mechanical and thermal properties of these nanocomposites are also discussed, as well as how each of these features is influenced by the inherent properties of graphene-based materials and their state of dispersion in the matrix. It follows with a review of graphene’s effect on composites and the difficulty of satisfying future industrial requirements. |
