Effect of chemical modification of edge atoms of graphene sheets on
their strength
   [PDF]

Vera Popova, Nadezhda Popova, Elena Sheka
Basing on the molecular theory of graphene, the influence of the chemical modification of edge atoms of a graphene sheet is studied in terms of mechanochemical reactions. The mechanical behavior of graphene is shown to be not only highly anisotropic with respect to the direction of the load application, but greatly dependent on the chemical modification of the edges as well. A topological character of the graphene deformation is discussed.
