Microplastic Strength Increased by Using Graphene Oxide to Modify Aramid Filler
Summary
Researchers demonstrated that treating aramid fiber fillers with graphene oxide before incorporating them into epoxide resin composites increased the resulting material's tensile strength by up to 13.36%, from 5.511 to 6.247 GPa. Producing stronger, more durable composite materials can extend product lifespans and reduce the mechanical wear and fragmentation that generates microplastic particles during use.
Changes in the strength of a one-dimensional elementary composite material−microplastic based on epoxide resin and complex aramid thread treated with graphene oxide are reported. The maximum increase in the strength of the microplastic was 13.36% and from 5.511 to 6.247 GPa. The graphene oxide concentration in the starting suspension for this was 0.0625 g/L.
