Abstract
Graphene, on which numerous studies have been conducted since its discovery, exhibits extra-ordinary properties unlike conventional materials. Owing to these properties, graphene has a great potential usage in many applications and also can be used as reinforcing material in different composite materials. The use of graphene as reinforcing materials in metal matrix composite materials allows to develop new generation composites, as well. Numerous studies on metal matrix graphene reinforced composites have been conducted within the last ten years. Different studies have determined various properties in the graphene reinforced composites having the same metal matrix. This is caused by many factors such as the production method of the composite, production method of the graphenes, matrix/graphene interface, distribution of the graphenes and the orientation of the graphene in the matrix. By the optimization of these factors and simplifying and improving the production methods, the graphene reinforced metal matrix composites have great potential to be used in many applications. In this paper, the studies conducted on metal matrix composites, in which graphene was used as reinforcing material, were investigated. In these studies, the properties of the produced composites were presented and the factors affecting these properties were explained.
