Abstract

The purpose of this study is to present the influence of nano-reinforcements graphene platelets (GPLs) with a sector of fiber-reinforced composite structures. Recently, GPLs has been widely used in composite structures due to its excellent properties such as high elastic modulus, high strength, large specific surface area, low density, etc. Therefore, these prominent properties are the promising choices for the development of novel types of laminated composite structures named multi-scale laminated composite. However, the paper focuses on the important effect of GPLs on the development of novel types of laminated composite structures, such as aspect ratio (l/d), weight fraction (wt.%), distribution of nano-reinforcements and aligned reinforcing fibers, respectively.
