| Abstract: | In this article, advancement in epoxy/graphene oxide composites is presented. These materials are comprised of graphene oxide (GO) as filler (carbon-based material, thermodynamically stable, two-dimensional, planar and layered structure). Due to improved properties (mechanical response, low density, electrical resistance, and thermal stability), epoxy resins are used in several applications. Graphene oxide proposes unique properties to epoxy composites as high surface area, thermal and electrical conductivity as well as mechanical and barrier properties, relative to neat matrix. The corresponding significance of epoxy/GO-based materials, related challenges, and potential exploitation regarding technical applications (aerospace, gas sensor, electronic devices, etc.) have been overviewed. |
