Carbon nanofillers used in epoxy polymeric composites: A brief review

Abstract

The paper discusses scientific publications regarding polymer composites based on epoxy resins, which are the main competitor of many traditional structural materials. The review on carbon nanofillers for composite materials, such as graphene, graphene oxide, carbon nanotubes, etc., is given. Methods for introducing these nanomaterials into different binders are considered, and comparative results of improving the strength characteristics of nanocomposites are presented.
