报告摘要：
       Graphene and carbon nanotube have attracted considerable interest over recent years due to its intrinsic mechanical, thermal and electrical properties. Incorporation of small quantity of graphene fillers into polymer can create novel nanocomposites with improved structural and functional properties. In this presentation, our recent work on synthesis, characterization and numerical simulation of carbon nanotubes, graphene and their nanocomposites will be briefly introduced. The attention will be focused on the structure-property relationship in these novel materials.
