Oxidation Effect of Graphene Nanoplatelets on the Mechanical Properties and Bonding Performance of Epoxy Paint Material

In this study, oxidized graphene nanoplatelet(GO) was prepared by oxidizing graphene nanoplatelet(GNP) with nitric acid in order to solve the problem of dispersion of GNP, one of nano materials. GNP/Epoxy and GO/Epoxy were prepared by mixing GNP, GO with 0.1, 0.3, 0.5 and 1.0 wt.% in epoxy and the mechanical properties, bond performance were evaluated. As a result, GNP/Epoxy and GO/Epoxy showed higher tensile strength than Neat Epoxy at the 0.1, 0.3 wt.%. Especially, when 0.1 wt.% of GO was incorporated into epoxy resin, it showed highest tensile strength. It was confirmed that acid treatment of GNP was effective in improving the mechanical properties of epoxy paint. However, graphene material was found that it was not effective in improving the bond strength of the epoxy paint.
