Funded by the FLAG-ERA Joint Transnational Call 2017, Graphene Flagship Partnering Project MECHANIC uses modelling and computer simulations to investigate what happens when graphene-based materials are incorporated into polymer composites. Project leader Andreas Isacsson, professor of condensed matter and materials theory at Graphene Flagship partner Chalmers Institute of Technology, Sweden, explains how their methods will lay the foundations for new composites to be characterised and validated...
