A fluid system component comprising:
- a body that comprises a multidimensional shape defined in orthogonal directions and layers stacked along one of the orthogonal directions, wherein at least one of the layers comprises polymeric material and graphene nanoplatelets formed from the polymeric material, wherein the graphene nanoplatelets increase stiffness of the polymeric material, and wherein the graphene nanoplatelets form geometric patterns that are oriented in a direction substantially parallel to the layers to increase stiffness of the polymeric material responsive to applied stress in the direction.
A fluid system component comprising:
- a body that comprises a multidimensional shape defined in orthogonal directions and layers stacked along one of the orthogonal directions, wherein at least one of the layers comprises polymeric material and graphene nanoplatelets formed from the polymeric material, wherein the polymeric material comprises an aromatic polymeric material, wherein the graphene nanoplatelets increase stiffness of the polymeric material, and wherein the graphene nanoplatelets form a matrix that comprises pore space.
