Perspective—Electrodeposition of Graphene Reinforced Metal Matrix Composites for Enhanced Mechanical and Physical Properties: A Review

Hrudaya Jyoti Biswal, Pandu R. Vundavilli, Ankur Gupta

Abstract

Graphene, a two-dimensional material consisting of carbon sheets with exceptionally superior mechanical, electrical and thermal properties, presents itself as an effective second phase reinforcement option for composites and functionally graded materials. Although polymer matrix composites reinforced with graphene have been explored extensively, metal/graphene composite is a comparatively new field of research. This perspective article reviews electrochemical deposition as a strategy to fabricate well-dispersed metal/graphene composites for their potential to enhance mechanical and physical characteristics. The recent state of the art research works has been discussed along with the challenges that are being encountered and their possible solutions.
