    • Hybrid multifunctional graphene/glass-fibre polypropylene composites 

      Papageorgiou, DG; Kinloch, IA; Young, RJ (Elsevier, 2016-12-12)
      The effect of the simultaneous addition, using a melt-mixing procedure, of glass fibres (GFs) and graphene in the form of graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) upon the properties of polypropylene (PP) has been studied in detail. ...

    • The mechanics of reinforcement of polymers by graphene nanoplatelets 

      Young, RJ; Liu, M; Kinloch, IA; Li, S; Zhao, X; Valles, C; Papageorgiou, DG (Elsevier, 2018-01-18)
      A detailed study has been undertaken of the mechanisms of stress transfer in polymeric matrices with different values of Young's modulus, Em, reinforced by graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs). For each material, the Young's ...
