composite materials. Aluminum composites reinforced with graphene nanosheets (GNSs)
were fabricated for the first time through a feasible methodology based on flake powder
metallurgy. The tensile strength of 249MPa was achieved in the Al composite reinforced with
only 0.3 wt.% GNSs, which is 62% enhancement over the unreinforced Al matrix. The
relevant strengthening mechanisms involved in the GNS/Al composites were discussed …
