Abstract
A method of fabricating a polymer composite material by mixing a polymer material with a planar material, depositing the mixture on a substrate, and stretching the resulting thin film, is described. Polymer composite materials produced using said method and ballistic resistant materials comprising said polymer composite materials are also described.
Claims17
A polymer composite material, comprising:
- a polymer material having a plurality of polymer chains, wherein the polymer chains are aligned;
- and
- a planar material, wherein the amount of the planar material is between 10 wt % and 40 wt % of the composite material;
- and
- wherein the planar material is an exfoliated nanosheet selected from the group consisting of hexagonal boron nitride, silicene, germanene, phosphorene, MoS2, TiS2, WS2, VS2, TiSe2, MoSe2, WSe2, TaSe2, NbSe2, NiTe2, Bi2Te3, and combinations thereof.
