多层石墨烯由一堆单原子厚的单层石墨烯片组成，这些石墨烯片通过p-p相互作用结合在一起，是一种迷人的模型材料，开辟了断裂力学的新领域。在这项研究中，单晶多层石墨烯的断裂行为进行了研究，在扫描电子显微镜下使用原位模式I断裂试验，并在多层石墨烯中的异常裂纹扩展被首次确定。石墨烯的断裂韧性是由测得的载荷-位移曲线和试样几何形状的现实有限元建模确定的。基于非线性弹性断裂力学理论，讨论了多层石墨烯的非线性断裂行为。在断裂试验过程中获得的原位扫描电子显微镜图像显示，异步裂纹扩展沿着独立的路径，造成层间剪切应力和滑移。我们还发现，石墨烯层之间的层间滑移的能量耗散是多层石墨烯的断裂韧性增强的原因。具有独立路径的异步开裂是单晶多层石墨烯独特的开裂增韧机制，而单层石墨烯没有观察到这种机制。这可以为结构应用的石墨烯基复合材料的设计和开发提供有用的见解。
Multilayer graphene consists of a stack of single-atomic-thick monolayer graphene sheets bound with p-p interactions and is a fascinating model material opening up a new field of fracture mechanics. In this study, fracture behavior of single-crystalline multilayer graphene was investigated using an in situ mode I fracture test under a scanning electron microscope, and abnormal crack propagation in multilayer graphene was identified for the first time. The fracture toughness of graphene was determined from the measured load-displacement curves and the realistic finite element modelling of specimen geometries. Nonlinear fracture behavior of the multilayer graphene is discussed based on nonlinear elastic fracture mechanics. In situ scanning electron microscope images obtained during the fracture test showed asynchronous crack propagation along independent paths, causing interlayer shear stress and slippages. We also found that energy dissipation by interlayer slippages between the graphene layers is the reason for the enhanced fracture toughness of multilayer graphene. The asynchronous cracking with independent paths is a unique cracking and toughening mechanism for single-crystalline multilayer graphene, which is not observed for the monolayer graphene. This could provide a useful insight for the design and development of graphene-based composite materials for structural applications.
