Statement of the Problem: The focus of this work is the
manufacturing of graphene-epoxy nanocomposites for optimum
enhancement in the mechanical properties, wide range of
mechanical characterization and modeling of mechanical
behaviors. Optimum enhancement in the mechanical properties
can be achieved when filler material is uniformly dispersed in the
matrix material. To provide uniform dispersion, among the
several techniques such as ultrasonic methods, three roll milling
(3RM), high and low shear mixing, 3RM is selected. In addition,
to improve the interfacial bonding between graphene nano flakes
(GNF) and epoxy matrix, GNFs are functionalized using Triton X-
100 as a surfactant.
