Abstract

Graphene, with an intrinsic strength of >100 GPa, exhibits promise for armor applications. However, the thermodynamically favorable manufacturing defects severely diminish their achievable strength. To remedy this, 1D nano-rebars, sandwiched between graphene monolayers, were studied. Real-time mode-I crack growth resistance was studied in reinforced graphene under SEM, which revealed that the dissipative interactions between 1D and 2D nanomaterials can increase the ductility of graphene by over 100%, albeit at a slight loss in effective toughness. This significant improvement was analyzed by introducing the concept of geometric conformity to explain the load transfer between them. By means of finite element analysis and shear lag models we explained the contribution of dissipative interactions between nano-rebar and graphene in reducing stress concentration around cracks, leading to high ductility. The dissipative bonds were found to be more favorable over covalent bonds in terms of maintaining a lower interface stress, further delaying interface local failure.

单层单层石墨烯复合材料纳米钢筋的增韧机理研究

石墨烯的固有强度为100 GPa，有望应用于装甲领域。然而，热力学上有利的制造缺陷严重地降低了它们的可实现强度。为了解决这个问题，研究人员研究了夹在石墨烯单层之间的一维纳米钢筋。在扫描电镜下研究了增强石墨烯的实时i型裂纹扩展阻力，结果表明，一维和二维纳米材料之间的耗散相互作用可以使石墨烯的延展性提高100%以上，但有效韧性有轻微损失。通过引入几何整合的概念来解释它们之间的载荷传递，分析了这一显著的改进。通过有限元分析和剪切滞后模型，我们解释了纳米钢筋和石墨烯之间的耗散相互作用在减少裂缝周围的应力集中，从而获得高延性方面的贡献。耗散键在维持较低的界面应力方面比共价键更有利，进一步延缓了界面局部破坏。
