Abstract

Developing new material with improved strength is one of the challenges for the researchers in the field of composite materials. In such a way, graphene is one of the attractive materials recently developed and reinforced in different composites to improve their properties. Graphene has superior properties owing to their honeycomb lattice structure and a single layer of carbon atoms arrangement. The main advantage of graphene is their thin layer structure and lightweight. At present, graphene is utilized as reinforcement in the composite material production and various properties has been discussed. The graphene-based composite materials are suitable for various applications such as medicine, electronics, sensor, energy, solar cell, filtration, and mechanical fields. At present, graphene reinforced materials have been largely developed and investigated. This chapter reports the recent development in composite with graphene reinforcement, in particularly graphene reinforcement effect in the polymer, metal, and ceramic matrixes.
