INVESTIGATION OF MECHANICAL AND PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF GRAPHENE WITH EPOXY MATRIX

Composite materials have become a highly preferred technology nowadays in the industry with their advantages such as superior mechanical performance and weight loss for aerospace applications, especially due to the combination of different components and the formation of new products. In addition, with nanocomposites, this technology skips a step further and allows more effective products to be produced. Nanocomposites are produced using carbon allotropes such as graphene and carbon nanotubes, which have the title of being one of the strongest materials that have been the subject of academic studies in recent years.
