Unlocking the potential of graphenes for the development of multi-scale composites - Functionalization via plasma

摘要

There are already a vast number of applications tor this material, extending across a broad range of industries and patent applications are still emerging the world over. In recent studies, gra-phene has been observed to demonstrate a mechanical strength of nearly 200 times that of steel, electrical conductivity greater than copper and a high thermal conductivity. Graphene also has an impressive surface area of over 2,500 m~2/g and when produced in sheet form is extremely flexible and will retain its unique electrical, thermal and physical properties even when under physical duress.
