Synthesis and Characterization of Graphene Nanoplatelets & Graphene Oxide Based Nanofluids With Their Comparative Analysis for Heat Transfer Applications
Abstract: Stability and thermal conductivity are the main features of nanofluids. Higher concentration of nanoparticles become the reason of agglomeration, so a balance equation is required for the preparation of remarkable nanofluids in the application point of view. In the present study, we describe a novel synthesis of graphene Nanoplatelets and graphene oxide based nanofluids with different concentration (0.001,0.003,0.005wt %) with the help of stock solution of 1mg/ml. The Hummer’s method …

Effect of Nano-Fillers on the Mechanical and Fracture Behavior of Polymer Composite Matrices: A Review
Abstract: The modification of polymer composite matrices through the incorporation of nano-scale fillers has become a prominent and highly effective strategy for enhancing mechanical performance, stiffness, and fracture resistance. Unlike conventional micro-scale reinforcements, nano-fillers possess exceptionally high surface area–to–volume ratios and unique physicochemical characteristics that significantly influence interfacial phenomena within the polymer matrix. Materials, such as carbon nanotubes (CNTs), graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs), nano-silica, and layered silicate nanoclays, introduce advanced toughening mechanisms …

Literature Review on Overcoming Graphene Dispersion Challenges in Ultra High Performance Concrete: A Review of Self-Dispersion and Bio-Polymer Encapsulation Strategies
Abstract: Abstract—Ultra-High-Performance Concrete (UHPC) is a new generation of cement-based material because of its higher compressive and tensile strength, increased durability, and higher resistance to environmental degradation. However, UHPC undergoes microcracking when subjected to mechanical and thermal loading, which can jeopardize the long-term performance of the structure, decrease service life, and cause expensive maintenance. Traditional solutions to enhance UHPC durability are centered on material densification and fiber strengthening, while these treatments …
