Anyone who has written with a pencil may have unwittingly made a few traces of a promising new nanomaterial. Among the thick smears of graphite deposited when a pencil rubs along paper are probably ...

When carbon fibres just won't do, but nanotubes are too expensive, where can cost-conscious materials scientists go to find a practical conductive composite? The answer could lie with graphene sheets.

Carbon-graphites offer the design engineer a unique family of mechanical materials. Manufactured entirely from carbon and including high temperature carbonaceous bonding, these materials combine the ...

Carbon fibers are polymers of carbon/graphite arranged in large sheets of hexagonal rings and confer several advantages such as high stiffness, high tensile strength, high chemical resistivity, high ...

Dublin, May 14, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Graphite and Carbon Additives Market for Steel and Foundry Industry - A Global and Regional Analysis: Focus on Application, Product, and Country Level ...

When oxygen atoms bind to a graphite surface, they fall into line and make bridges across carbon atoms. This is the spearhead of a chemical attack in which the atomic arrangement of solid carbon is ...

The study of graphene was starting to go out of style, but new experiments with sheets of the ultrathin material revealed there was much left to learn. By Kenneth Chang In the universe of office ...
