Photomechanical Response in Graphene Nanoplatelet Composites
Loomis J., King B., Burkhead T., Xu P., Bessler N., Terentjev E., Panchapakesan B., University of Louisville, US
Large light-induced reversible and elastic responses of graphene nanoplatelet (GNP) polymer composites are reported. Homogeneous mixtures of GNP/polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) composites (0.1–5 wt%) were prepared and their near-infrared (NIR) mechanical responses studied with increasing pre-strains. Using [...]
