Abstract

Graphene is a material comprising a single layer of carbon atoms and having remarkable set of properties that offer potential benefits when added to polymer materials. The overall aim of the investigation to study the behavior of graphene reinforcement which can be used in various composite applications, to improve the properties of neat polyester based matrix materials. The key challenges with the good dispersion of graphene material, and the development of new fabrication processes to synthesis polymer nanocomposites. Graphene based polymer nanocomposites are promising advanced material used for very high performance materials that offer improved mechanical properties, electrical properties and other properties. Herein, an approach is presented to improve the mechanical properties of neat polyester resin by using graphene filler material. Polymer nanocomposites are constructed by uniformly dispersing a nanomaterial into the polymer matrix. Mechanical properties such as hardness and wear properties of graphene reinforced polyester composite were studied. The results showed that the nanofiller reinforced polyester composite tend to exhibit enhancement in mechanical properties as compared to the neat polyester.
