- This paper was the key-output from the Innovate UK funded NanoSynth Project (nr. 101257) (2014) and reports, for the first time, the direct in situ exfoliation and dispersion of graphene into epoxy resins, without the need of additives, solvents, compatibilizers, or chemical pre-treatments. This work lead to five follow up papers that used the developed graphene modified resins in composites, and industrial collaboration (Haydale).?On the back on this and related projects, an EU funded mini-CDT on graphene-based composites (part of the graphene flagship) has been established at QMUL, which is currently funding 5 PhD students.
