Abstract: The article presents the results of a study of the efficiency of few-layer graphene obtained under conditions of self-propagating high-temperature synthesis as a modifying additive in the creation of polymer composites based on epoxy resin. It was found that the introduction of few-layer graphene increased the bending strength and wear resistance of epoxy resin by 70% and 50%, respectively. This method of synthesizing few-layer graphene enables the acquisition of large volumes of high-quality material at an acceptable cost, making its use in polymer composites cost-effective.

Keywords: graphene, nanocomposites, epoxy resins, self-propagating high-temperature synthesis, few-layer graphene.
