Ultra-Strong Rebar Graphene Foam

Ultra-Strong Rebar Graphene Foam
Feb-16-17
Using carbon nanotubes, researchers have developed a conductive, ‘rebar’ graphene foam able to support 3000 times its weight.

The foam, from a team at Rice University, draws upon their previous experience with 3D graphene foam and 2D graphene. The foam is built in concentric layers around carbon nanotubes, resulting in a conductive metal able to hold 3000 times its weight with no permanent damage.
