Manufacturing and Evaluation of Mechanical, Morphological, and Thermal Properties of Reduced Graphene Oxide-Reinforced Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) Nanocomposites

Figure 8

The spheroidal model of reduced graphene oxide particles transfer on the surface of granules as a result of contact with other granules: 1, a schematic representation of the zone of mutual contact with an adjacent granule; 2, a schematic representation of the distribution of nanoparticles on the surfaces of granules after expansion; 3, a schematic representation of the distribution of nanoparticles on the surfaces of granules before expansion.
