Structural/Load-Bearing Characteristics of Polymer–Carbon Composites

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Carbon-Containing Polymer Composites

Part of the book series: Springer Series on Polymer and Composite Materials ((SSPCM))

Abstract

In the last few years carbon-containing polymer composites have drawn significant attention due to their light weight, high thermal stability, excellent mechanical, and electrical property. Important characteristics of carbon-based materials (CBMs) like high specific surface area and high strength have made them as very good reinforcing filler for a wide range of polymers. The foremost aspiration of this chapter is to establish a relationship between the structures and load-bearing performance of carbon-containing polymer composites. Structural diversities of CBMs such as carbon black, carbon fiber, carbon nanofiber, diamond, nanodiamond, graphite, carbon nanotubes (CNTs), and graphene are reflected in the differential load-bearing characteristics of their polymer composites. The chapter also provides state-of-the-art information regarding the potential applications of polymer/carbon composites.
