How to investigate the thin layer between graphene sheets and surrrounding polymer (epoxy)?

Submitted by Leon Mishnaevsky on

Hi,

There is an assumption that nanoparticles (e.g., graphene or CNT) change the local properties of polymer (here, epoxy) around them, perturbing the polymer chains. Which (not too expensive) methods exist to explore this assumption experimentally? How can I study the atomistic scale structure of polymer around the graphene sheets, and compare it with rest of polymer?
