Nanoscale Mechanical Characterization of Graphene/Polymer Nanocomposites using Atomic Force Microscopy.

Graphene materials, exhibiting outstanding mechanical properties, are excellent candidates as reinforcement in high-performance polymer nanocomposites. In this dissertation, advanced atomic force microscopy (AFM) techniques are applied to study the nanomechanics of graphene/polymer nanocomposites, s...
