DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Sima Kashi (School of Civil\, Environmental and Chem
 ical Engineering\, RMIT University)\nWith excellent characteristics such a
 s high mechanical properties and electrical conductivity\, graphene nanopl
 atelets (GNPs) can be used for reinforcing polymers and developing novel m
 aterials. In the current study\, different concentrations of GNPs (0-15 wt
 %) were embedded into poly lactide and poly (butylene adipate-co-terephtha
 late) which are among the leading biodegradable polymers. Morphology of th
 e nanocomposites was studied via scanning electron microscopy and X-Ray di
 ffraction. Effect of GNP loading on electrical conductivity and thermal st
 ability of the two matrices were determined. Results showed significant en
 hancement in both conductivity and thermal stability of polymers with addi
 tion of GNPs.\n\nhttps://events01.synchrotron.org.au/event/19/contribution
