Haydale, the developer of a unique plasma functionalization process for nanomaterials, has announced the publication of research showing its graphene nanoplatelets (GNP) significantly improve the nano-reinforcement of resin. The research, conducted by the Material Science Department at AeroSpace Corporation, has been published in the Journal of Applied Polymer Science. The development is significant because graphene…
Activated graphene promises to make super supercapacitors
Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Brookhaven National Laboratory have helped uncover the nanoscale structure of a novel form of carbon, contributing to an explanation of why this new material acts like a super-absorbent sponge when it comes to soaking up electric charge. The material, recently created at The University of Texas – Austin,…
