Functionally tuned nanolayered graphene as reinforcement of polyethylene nanocomposites for lightweight transportation industry

System integration and multifunctionality requirements of high-performance materials in the transportation sector are pushing manufacturers to search for advanced functional polymers that are easy to recycle, cost-effective and not energy intensive. This study reports, for the first time, an advanced and lightweight functional nanocomposite material with higher thermal deformation resistance and thermo-mechanical properties than those of …
