Fig. 5From: Uniaxial Drawing of Graphene-PVA Nanocomposites: Improvement in Mechanical Characteristics via Strain-Induced Exfoliation of Graphene a Representative stress strain curves showing the effects of both, addition of GNS and drawing, on the mechanical properties of the PVA. b Schematic diagram for the as-prepared and uniaxially drawn composites showing clearly the effects of drawing in the drawn state as the polymer chains and few layer GNS are aligned along with the strain-induced exfoliationBack to article page
