Improved mechanical properties of carbon fiber/graphene oxide-epoxy hybrid composites

The mechanical properties of carbon fiber reinforced polymer composites depend upon fiber-matrix interfacial properties. In this investigation to improve the mechanical properties of polymer composites, graphene oxide was used as one of the filler for the development of carbon fiber/graphene oxide-epoxy hybrid composites. Initially, epoxy resin was modified by incorporating different weight% of graphene oxide from 0.1 to 0.6 wt%. The desired...
