报告内容简介：
Graphene and its derivatives are widely used as reinforcing nanofillers to develop high performance polymer nanocomposites with significantly improved mechanical properties by making use of the extraordinary properties of graphene reinforcements while keeping the beneficial attributes of polymers such as large deformation, stretchability, and good chemical/biological compatibilities.Functionally graded materials are characterized by smooth and continuous change in both material composition and mechanical propertiesto simultaneously meet different performance requirements. This talk deals with the development and structural behaviour of novel functionally graded multilayer polymer composites reinforced with graphenenanoplatelets (GPLs) non-uniformly dispersed in the matrix. The modified micromechanics model and molecular dynamics simulation for the determination of effective material properties as well as the effects of GPL weight fraction, distribution pattern, geometry and dimension on the linear and nonlinear structural behaviorswill be discussed in detail.
