Investigation the effect of expanded graphite modification on tensile properties and adhesive of epoxy composite

Graphite has attracted both academia and researchers due to its outstanding properties such as having strength 200 times stronger than steel, great efficiency of heat and electricity conduction, and also low cost. The aim of this study is to determine the tensile properties and adhesive toughness of...
