The aim of this study is to prepare graphene nanoscale sheets from graphite chips and to improve the properties of the class ionomer cement by adding different volumetric fractions of graphene, as the graphene was prepared using the planetary wet ball milling method as a basic method in addition to using both ultrasound and centrifugation as factors Help, the prepared materials were characterized using different techniques such as (scanning electron microscopy, Raman assay, XRD) and others.

The results proved the success of the method used to convert graphite into graphene, in addition to improving the properties of the nanocomposite (class ionomer cement + graphene), specifically at the volumetric fraction of 0.2% graphene.

The discussion was conducted in a scientific atmosphere, and the student was awarded MSc. (fulfilled) after completing all the amendments that were put in place by the discussants.
