Covalent attachment of 2D graphene oxide (GO) sheets with poly allylamine (PAA) for enhanced mechanical performance: Theoretical and experimental study

2D graphene and its derivatives are used as potent high strength filler materials contributing in the enhanced mechanical properties of resulting polymer composites. However, the full potential of these filler reinforcement materials has not been explored yet due to the weak interface interactions between the filler and polymer matrix. Various functionalities can be introduced during the synthesis of graphene to improve interface interactions...
