Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene nanocomposites reinforced with novel surface chemically modified sonic-exfoliated graphene

A sequence of chemical modifications was performed on natural graphite flakes from initial oxidation, producing graphene oxide (GO), followed by thermally-reduced graphene expansion (GE) to a final sonic exfoliation forming nanoparticles (GES). Employing Raman spectroscopy, it is found that the grap...
