▎ 摘  要

In this study, a eutectic gallium-indium (EGaIn) alloy and graphene nanoplatelets (GnPs) were employed as reinforcements for a comonomer vinyl ester (cVE) resin at different weight fractions up to 2% via a direct polymerization process. First, the effect of EGaIn on the curing kinetics of cVE was evaluated. The thermal and mechanical properties, and the fracture toughness of two types of cVE composites consisting of EGaIn and GnPs were then studied. The results showed that sub-micron sized EGaIn (
