Scientists have long eyed graphene—an atom-thin, ultra-strong material—as a promising alternative for gas separation, but making large-area, efficient graphene membranes has been a challenge.

Graphene’s outstanding properties include high thermal and electrical conductivity, high elasticity and flexibility, high hardness and resistance, transparency and the ability to generate ...

This book provides a unique exploration of the mechanical properties of graphene and graphene-based materials, with a focus on elastic constants, tensile strength, hardness, and deformation behavior.

The microstructure of the pure copper and the copper – graphene with different reinforcement is compared for discussion. The hardness of copper and copper – graphene – titanium carbide composite is ...

Herein, amino-functionalized carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and graphene oxide (GO) were incorporated into HDPE ... the synergy between these nanocarbons can be explored to improve HDPE hardness without ...

These graphene-enhanced materials can also serve as reinforcement elements. The addition of graphene to building materials enhances flexibility, hardness, mechanical strength, and durability. In ...

Graphene nanoparticles (GnP ... to evaluate the following characteristics: tensile strength, Izod impact, hardness, and melting temperature, according to the ASTM/ISO standards. Mechanical and thermal ...

These are: graphene electronics (exploiting its unique electrical properties); graphene composites (focusing on its hardness and strength); and graphene batteries (where it could potentially ...

When two distinct types of calcium silicate cements were mixed in varying amounts with graphene nanosheets in powder form, the resultant GNP-cement composites performed well in terms of reducing the ...

A working, scalable semiconductor has been created from graphene for the first time, potentially paving the way for a new type of computer with greater speed and efficiency than today’s silicon ...

Results and Discussion: Results revealed that the inclusion of the graphene in the glass matrix led to a decrease in the bulk density of the glass-based composites from 2.41 to 2.31 g/cm 3. Similarly, ...

I never know what to expect when I tell people I study graphene – some have never heard of it, while others have seen some version of these headlines and inevitably ask, “So what’s the ...
