Enhanced Mechanical Properties of Graphene-Based Poly(vinyl alcohol) Composites
Abstract
Graphene, flat carbon nanosheets, has generated huge activity in many areas of science and engineering due to its unprecedented physical and chemical properties. With the development of wide-scale applicability including facile synthesis and high yield, this exciting material is ready for its practical application in the preparation of polymer nanocomposites. Here we report that nanocomposites based on fully exfoliated graphene nanosheets and poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) are prepared via a facial aqueous solution. A significant enhancement of mechanical properties of the graphene/PVA composites is obtained at low graphene loading; that is, a 150% improvement of tensile strength and a nearly 10 times increase of Young’s modulus are achieved at a graphene loading of 1.8 vol %. The comparison between the experimental results and theoretical simulation for Young’s modulus indicates that the graphene nanosheets in polymer matrix are mostly dispersed randomly in the nanocomposite films.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
