Abstract
This chapter reports on the various production, fabrication, and modeling details undertaken for the creation of lightweight graphene-based polymer composite materials. Among all the composites, polymers matrix-based composites are the lightest and hold various unique properties as advantages over its counterparts. Here, the synthesis and properties of graphene are discussed, followed by the large-scale manufacturing and mechanical properties of the lightweight graphene-based polymer matrix composite structures. Finally, the authors have discussed the modeling and simulations of lightweight graphene polymer composite structures.
