Functionalized Waterborne Polyurethane-Based Graphite-Reinforced Composites by Nur Munirah Abdullah, Anika Zafiah Mohd Rus, M. F. L. Abdullah

“…Prior to this, it is confirmed that, in the WPUG composites, the graphite particles containing functional groups such as hydroxyl and carboxylic groups are randomly distributed and attributed to the formation of interconnected interface within the polymeric composites. This promotes enhancement in modulus and tensile strength up to ∼440% and ∼100%, respectively. …”
