Abstract

In this chapter, we turn our attention to the interfacial stability issues of graphene embedded in polymer matrix under the biaxial compression. A three-stage feature is revealed in the compressive deformation mode, including elastic compression, Euler buckling and local debonding. The failure mechanisms at the nanoscale interface are further discussed in detail.
