DescriptionGraphene reinforced polymer matrix composites (G-PMCs) are being explored as inexpensive, strong, and lightweight alternatives to conventional materials in construction, transportation, and engineering applications. This work aims to investigate the extent and effect of oriented graphite delamination products (GDP) within a 35-weight percent GDP / polyamide 6,6 composite. The composite was extruded via a high-shear sheet die. Scanning electron microscopy revealed that the GDP were oriented in the machine direction even far from the surface. The SEM images also revealed evidence of possible primary bonding between the graphite and polymer matrix, which may have contributed to this alignment by “dragging” sheets with the flow of polymer. Flexural and tensile tests found that the composite showed mechanical anisotropy, possibly due to aligned polymer chains.
