  • Nanomaterial-reinforced resins and related materials
    Patent number: 9120908
    Abstract: Provided are nanomaterial-reinforced resin compositions and related methods. The compositions include a reinforcing material, such as graphene, polyamic acid, carbon nanotubes, or dimethylacetamide that is dispersed into a resin. The reinforcing material is present in the resin at from about 0.001 to about 10 wt %. Also provided are methods of fabricating these compositions and methods of tailoring a composition to achieve a particular set of mechanical properties.
