A new type of scrolled structure of Co(3)O(4)/reduced graphene oxide (r-GO) is facilely prepared through a two-step surfactant-assisted method. This assembly enables almost every single Co(3)O(4) scroll to connect with the r-GO platelets, thus leading to remarkable electrochemical performances in terms of high specific capacitance and good rate capability.

This paper presents an investigation of the effect graphene nanoparticles on mechanical properties glass fiber reinforced epoxy composite. The composites were fabricated using vacuum infusing molding. Dispersion nanoplatelets was done bath sonicator and stirring. physical examined according to ASTM standards. Results showed that there a significant improvement in tensile flexural by addition 0....

The effect of the clusterization on effective properties a composite material reinforced by MXene or graphene platelets is studied using finite element method with periodic representative volume (RVE). A hybrid 2D/3D mesh used to reduce computational complexity numerical model. Several realizations an RVE were generated increasing fractions inclusions, resulting in progressive platelets. Numeri...

Carbon nanotubes and nanofibers are graphitic filaments/whiskers with diameters ranging from 0.4 to 500 nm and lengths in the range of several micrometers to millimeters. Carbon nanofibers and nanotubes are grown by the diffusion of carbon (via catalytic decomposition of carbon containing gases or vaporized carbon from arc discharge or laser ablation) through a metal catalyst and its subsequent...

a r t i c l e i n f o Scanning tunneling microscopy shows that a layer of graphene can be grown on the hex-reconstructed Pt (100) surface and that the reconstruction is preserved after growth. A continuous sheet of graphene can be grown across domain boundaries and step edges without loss of periodicity or change in direction. Density functional theory calculations on a simple model system supp...

Graphene-based metallic nanocomposites are promising materials for applications where tailored strength and functionality required such as space automotive industries. Additive manufacturing, specifically 3D printing, is currently considered a revolutionary process to tailor engineer certain applications. Herein, we report fast reliable approach prepare mechanically robust, ductile high thermal...

We report the synthesis and fatigue characterization of fiberglass/epoxy composites with various weight fractions of graphene platelets infiltrated into the epoxy resin as well as directly spray-coated on to the glass microfibers. Remarkably only ∼0.2% (with respect to the epoxy resin weight and ∼0.02% with respect to the entire laminate weight) of graphene additives enhanced the fatigue life o...

Highly ordered reduced graphene oxide (RG-O) micro-patterns were crafted by an efficient method capitalizing on the self-assembled polymer template. Central to this strategy is to fabricate the polymer template over a large area via controlled evaporative selfassembly (CESA), and treat the templated glass substrate with the O2 plasma to render the favorable interaction between the RG-O platelet...
