Mechanical properties of graphene based nanocomposites incorporating a hybrid interphase
The mechanical behavior of graphene based nanocomposites is investigated by a multi-scale structural mechanics approach. Graphene is modeled in atomistic scale utilizing spring elements. A hybrid interphase is considered between graphene and epoxy matrix. Numerical results demonstrate the stiffness reinforcing ability of graphene.
