▎ 摘 要
NOVELTY - Composition comprises a resin having 0.001-10 wt.% of a reinforcement dispersed within it, where the reinforcement comprises graphene bodies, polyamic acid, carbon nanotubes and/or a reinforcing solvent. USE - The composition is useful in composite laminates for aerospace structures and aeronautical applications. ADVANTAGE - The composition exhibits 1-80% or 10-600% (preferably 10-250%) of improved tensile strength, strain-to-failure, fracture toughness (at least 50% higher), critical stress intensity factor, critical strain energy release rate, damping factor or elastic modulus, relative to resin that is essentially free of reinforcement or nanoparticles. DETAILED DESCRIPTION - INDEPENDENT CLAIMS are also included for: (1) forming a composition, comprising: contacting a reinforcement comprising at least one of graphene bodies, polyamic acid, an amide or carbon nanotubes, with at least one resin so as to form a precursor mixture having the reinforcement that is present at 0.001-1 wet.% of the precursor mixture; (2) synthesizing a reinforced resin composition, comprising: selecting at least one resin of epoxies, polyesters or vinylesters; selecting at least one reinforcement material of graphene, carbon nanotubes, polyamic acids or amides; and dispersing the reinforcement material into the resin so as to form a reinforced resin composition in which the reinforcement is present at 0.001-1 wt.% of the reinforced resin composition; and (3) a cured nanocomposite material, comprising: a cured resin; and nanoparticles dispersed throughout the cured nanocomposite material, where the weight fraction of nanoparticles is 0.0005 to less than 1 wt.% based on total weight of the cured nanocomposite resin.
