    Dear Prof. Simoncini, thank you for your interesting presentation!
    You presented the effect of graphene oxide nanoparticles content on the mechanical behaviour of an epoxy resin demostrating its benefits. Do you think that the graphene oxide nanoparticles could be utilised for the reinforcement of other types of materials?
    Thank you in advance,
    Doriana

    Thank you, Prof. Daddona, for your interest in our research.
    The work I have presented represents the initial part of a wide study that aims to evaluate the optimal amount of graphene oxide nanofillers that can improve the mechanical performance of carbon fiber reinforced composite materials.
    As a matter of fact, several studies demonstrated the beneficial effect of the graphene or graphene-oxide addition on the mechanical properties of metal matrix composites (such as graphene reinforced aluminum-, copper-, magnesium- or titanium- matrix composites). Also the workability of graphene-oxide-reinforced cement nanocomposites improves with optimal graphene amounts as compared to the cement composite.
