The investigation and design of new polymeric materials with an astonishing combination of properties are nowadays of great importance to facilitate the manufacturing process of high-quality products intended to be utilized in different applications and technical fields. For this intent, novel high-performance blend composites composed of the cyanate ester/benzoxazine resin blend reinforced by different proportions of silane-surface modified Kevlar and glass fibers were successfully fabricated by a compression molding technique and characterized by different experimental tests. The mechanical test results revealed that the bending and impact strength properties were considerably improved when increasing the amount of the hybrid fibers. The studied materials also presented excellent thermal stabilities as compared to the unfilled blend’s properties. With respect to the properties of the reinforcing systems, these improvements seen in either the mechanical or thermal properties could be due to the good dispersion as well as excellent adhesion of the reinforcing fibers inside the resin matrix, which were further evidenced by the Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy results. Consequently, the improved mechanical and thermal properties promote the use of the fabricated hybrid composites in domestic and industrial applications requiring functional materials with advanced properties for aerospace and military applications.

This chapter reviews recent development of graphene-based polymer composites. The formation of graphene oxide and graphene are a vital two dimensional (2D) material has received a lot of research interest in commercialization aspect due to its excellent electrical, thermal as well as mechanical properties at very low filler content. In this manner, utilization of graphene-based polymer composites with different polymer matrixes have been attracted increasing attention in recent years for both fundamental studies and applied research into industrial applications in many fields. Herein, novel properties of polymer (epoxy, polystyrene, and PANI) / graphene composites will be reviewed along with detailed examples drawn from the scientific literature. Keywords: Graphene-based polymer composites, thermo-mechanical properties, two dimensional (2D) materials
