Abstract
In this chapter, we will see how the addition of 2-D nanomaterial such as graphene, TMDs, graphene oxide will impact the strength of the composite. After going through this chapter we will be able to understand that the strength of the advance composite is tremendously enhanced with the addition of even small amount of graphene as reinforcement. Graphene as reinforcement increases the micro-hardness and wear resistance of the composite whereas the macro hardness shows downward trend with increase in the percentage of graphene. The 2-D nanomaterials thus produced are extra light in weight and high in strength and stiffness. This is why these nanomaterials find application in the area of aerospace and construction works. But, uniform distribution of reinforcement is the major concern in the development of the composite. Herein, we summarize recent detailed records in the mechanical performance of graphene and graphene oxide and their composites for advanced structural applications.
