摘要

Metals are frequently heavy to utilized in certain production sectors where weight reduction is a critical design parameter as it has a high strength-to-weight ratio the advantage of such graphene-reinforced composites is most evident in fields such as aerospace, automotive, marine structures, and sporting equipment, where weight savings directly translate into improved efficiency and performance, this research purpose is to investigate the experimental exploration of the mechanical characteristics of a composite consisting of functionalized graphene integrated into carbon fiber/epoxy matrices. Through a combination of experimental characterization, we examine the synergistic effects arising from the incorporation of functionalized graphene (FG) on the mechanical characterization of the nanocomposites. Mechanical tests encompassing tensile, compressive, and flexural tests unveil notable enhancements in stiffness, fracture toughness and strength compared with pure carbon fiber epoxy composite systems the values of Young’s modulus and tensile strength for FG are enhanced by the highest of 60.1 and 59.3%.

Characterizations (a) FTIR spectra, (b) XRD and (c) Tensile Test and (d) SEM patterns. In this new era, nanocomposites incorporating nanoscale fillers such as graphene, the next-generation materials with superior mechanical and functional characteristics are currently being seen as promising materials. Metals are frequently too heavy to be utilized in production as it has a high strength-to-weight ratio, this paper’s objective is to investigate the experimental exploration of the mechanical characteristics of a composite consisting of functionalized graphene integrated into carbon fiber/epoxy matrices. Through a combination of experimental characterization, we examine the synergistic effects arising from the incorporation of FG on the mechanical characteristics of the nanocomposites. Mechanical tests encompassing tensile, compressive, and flexural tests unveil notable enhancements in stiffness, strength, and fracture toughness compared with pure carbon fiber/Epoxy Composite systems the values of “Young’s modulus and tensile strength” for FG are enhanced by the highest of 60.1 and 59.3%, compared to pure CFEC.
