Impact of few-layered graphene (FLG) plates on the properties of the ED-20 epoxy resin is experimentally studied by using various techniques. The average dimensions of FLG plates are estimated as about 50 nm in thickness and 5 ?m in both width and length. The FLG-mass-loading, Cf, in the nanocomposites is ranged from 0.01% to 5%. On the whole, the FLG plates promote an improvement in the thermal and chemical resistivities of the nanocomposites due to the chemical binding of the epoxy macromolecular chains to the free carbon bonds located on lateral verges of the plates. On the other hand, the FLG plates worsen the tensile strength of the nanocomposites at Cf???0.01%, whereas the dynamic elastic moduli undergo small variations.
