Deformation and tearing of graphene-reinforced elastomer nanocomposites [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 The resistance to failure through tearing is a crucial mechanical property for the application of different elastomers. In this work, graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) were introduced into a fluoroelastomer (FKM) matrix with the aim of improving its tear resistance. The fracture energy through tearing was evaluated using the pure shear test.
