Mechanical and Structural Properties and Applications of Graphene Nanoparticles

Graphene is an allotrope of carbon that exists as a two-dimensional planar sheet. Graphene is technically a non-metal but is often referred to as a quasi-metal due to its properties being like that of a semi-conducting metal. As such, Graphene has many unique properties that cannot be found with other non-metallic materials.

In Graphene the carbon–carbon bond length is about 0.142 nanometers. Graphene sheets stack to form graphite with an interplanar spacing of 0.335 nm.

Graphene is the strongest material ever tested in the world, with an intrinsic tensile strength of 130.5 GPa and a Young's modulus of 1 TPa (150000000 psi). In addition to having a unique strength, Graphene is also very lightweight (0.77 mgm-2).

Of course with these strong mechanical properties, Graphene is one of the most important chemicals that is researched. Let's look at some studies doing by taking into account of Graphene's extraordinary properties.

The adhesion energy of Graphene with substrate is an important mechanical property for the wafer- level production of micro- and nano-devices because high adhesion ensures manufacturability and stability of operation over a long period.

Over the last decade, many solid lubricant materials and surface treatment processes have been developed for efficient operation and extended lifetime in MEMS/NEMS applications, and for various fabrication processes such as nanoimprint lithography and transfer printing. One of the important considerations in applying a solid lubricant at the micro- and nanoscale is the thickness of the lubricant and the compatibility of the lubricant deposition process with the target product. Graphene, is a good candidate for these applications with its atomically thin and strong structure with low surface energy.

Coating objects with Graphene can serve different purposed. For instance, researchers have now shown that it is possible to use graphene sheets to create a superhydrophobic coating material that shows stable superhydrophobicity under both static as well as dynamic conditions, thereby forming extremely water repelling structures.

Researchers say that Graphene is the world's thinnest known coating for protecting metals against corrosion. It was found that graphene, whether made directly on copper or nickel or transferred onto another metal, provides protection against corrosion.

Carbon Nanotube Threads

Since its discovery, carbon nanotube (CNT) has attracted many interests in different technology fields due to its extraordinary properties. Properties such as, high strength, great electrical and thermal conductivity, light weight and flexibility made CNT one of the best materials for wide range of applications. However, from its name it can be understood that CNT is a nanoscale material which is very small to be applied for the production of daily products. Researchers all around the world are working on finding methods and techniques which could produce new materials with the extraordinary properties of CNT. Image retrieved from: https://worldindustrialreporter.com/strong-light-flexible-carbon-nanotubes-threads-with-ultrahigh-conductivity/ One of these research is focusing on the production of high strength threads that can be used in the manufacturing of fabrics, cables and ropes. An international group of scientists were able to produce a flexible conductive thread that i

Multi Walled Carbon Nanotube Dispersions

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have attracted enormous attention in recent years due to its unique physical, electronic, optical and potential applications in materials science and nanotechnology. The van der Waals interaction between tubes, however, makes CNTs aggregate in most organic solvents and aqueous solutions, which is the major limitation of their practical applications.Various approaches have been studied to alter the CNT surface to promote the dispersion of individual nanotubes and prevent their reaggregation. On the basis of this widely accepted viewpoint, numerous techniques such as covalent bonding, surfactant coating and polymer wrapping have been developed for surface modification or sidewall functionalization.These methods, however, are complicated, time-consuming and cause permanent damage to the CNT structure and properties of the surface, which produces residues of the dispersion agent for the final product.
