It has also been shown that immersing graphite oxide in water results in the dispersion of graphene sheets that can then be stabilized by amphiphilic polymers and incorporated into nanocomposites ...

Scientists at Ångstron Materials (a spin-off from Nanotek Instruments, Inc.) have developed a new class of nanomaterials now commonly referred to as nano-scaled graphene plates or platelets (NGPs) and ...

IntechOpen) The exponential growth of polymeric nanocomposites began with the discovery of fullerenes (also known as C60 or buckyballs). This discovery paved the road for discovery of carbon nanotubes ...

We developed robust chemistry to functionalize pristine graphene, and to synthesize graphene nanocomposites. Finally, we are developing new strategies, including nanoantibiotics, to combact ...

Enhancing soundproofing performance of polypropylene nanocomposites for implantable electrodes inside the body through graphene and nanoclay; Thermomechanical Analysis, AIP Advances (2024).

Graphene has been described as the world's first two-dimensional material. A deal has been struck for the world's first commercial production of carbon fibre enriched with graphene in a new ...

Graphene, a single layer of carbon atoms said to be the thinnest and strongest substance ever recorded, was hailed as a gamechanger after Prof Konstantin Novoselov and Prof Andre Geim revealed it ...
