The effect of graphene nanosheets on the mechanical properties of polyvinylchloride
Source abstract
Abstract
In this work, excellent improvement in mechanical properties was observed by incorporating graphene nanofillers in polyvinyl chloride via solution blending. About 63% increase in modulus and 19% increase in ultimate tensile strength were measured at 1.5 wt% nanofiller content while almost no drop in elongation at break was observed. POLYM.
