For example, some containers used to store and transport volatile fuels are made from polymer or rubber composites. Incorporating graphene would increase their stiffness by an order of magnitude ...

Since graphene has high levels of stiffness and strength, its use as a reinforcement in polymer composites shows huge potential of further enhancing the mechanical properties of composites. The final ...

For instance, high-loading graphene epoxy composites are promising thermal interface materials that can be used for improving heat conduction from computer chips, light-emitting diodes, and microwave ...

In a collaboration between Universal Matter GBR and Tarmac, a UK road has been resurfaced with ‘Genable Pavement’ (sic), a graphene-based polymer composite, which the companies reckon will ...

Researchers in Sweden report a green alternative to reduce reliance on mining graphite, the raw source behind the "wonder ...

The pipes are generally made of internal layers of polymer or composite and external strengthening steel ... The researchers found that if the graphene was mechanically mixed with the plastic, or if a ...

"This project is the first use of our Genable™ Pavement graphene-based polymer composite in the UK. "We expect this product to deliver reduced rutting, cracking and ultimately enhanced ...

In order to be able to fulfill rising demand, the chemical industry invests billions of dollars each year in new and sustaining capital. Chemicals and materials are omnipresent in contemporary life, ...

Researcher Richard Olsson, seen here in the lab holding two sources of graphene, a spool of carbon ... It is also useful in high-performance composites, water purification and electronic devices.
