Graphene and graphene derivatives toughening polymers: Toward high toughness and strength

Since the first discovery of graphene in 2004, the scientific and industrial community is still finding fields to bring the excellent mechanical performance of graphene into full play. Herein, this review summarizes the recent advances in graphene and graphene derivatives toughened polymer nanocomposites, which gives full play to the unique two-dimensional nanostructure, extra specific surface area and ultrahigh mechanical properties of graphene...
